What have you been watching? Including Schuld and El Ministerio del Tiempo

It’s been another quiet week for TV, thanks to the Thanksgiving break. If you like anthology and true crime shows, particularly ones based on podcasts, you could have course have watched Dirty John (US: Bravo; UK: Netflix).

I don’t, though, so I didn’t. Instead, I watched the rest of Narcos: Mexico. I also gave More4’s new German show, Schuld nach Ferdinand von Schirach (Shades of Guilt), a try and after mentioning it rather a long time ago, I finally made a start on El Ministerio del Tiempo (The Ministry of Time).

I’ll be talking about all of them after the jump. Joining them will be the few regulars that didn’t take a Thanksgiving holiday: Black Lightning, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Doctor Who, and Titans.

See you in a mo…

What have you been watching? Including Fighting Season and How To Stay Married

It’s “What have you been watching?”, your chance to recommend to fellow TMINE readers anything you’ve been watching this week

Despite Thanksgiving being just round the corner in the US – or maybe even because it’s nearly here – the airwaves and Internet had a bit more new to offer than last week. Elsewhere, I’ve reviewed YouTube Premium’s Origin and Netflix’s The Kominsky Method and Narcos: Mexico, but there have been a few other things. I don’t really bother with mini-series, but in case you do, HBO’s My Brilliant Friend and Showtime’s Escape at Dannemora both turned up this week.

I’m still trying to watch Amazon’s Beat, but let’s just say that after an exciting title sequence, not only does the plot get a bit silly, everything’s a bit X-rated and commute-unfriendly, so I’ve not managed to get more than 10 minutes in. But I have managed to watch some Australian TV, too, so I’ll be looking at The Fighting Season and How To Stay Married after the jump.

Also after the jump are the new regulars: Black Lightning, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Doctor Who, Happy Together, Magnum P.I. and Titans. See you in a mo…

What have you been watching? Including The Last Ship and You

Another slow week this week. Only Amazon served up something new, which it hid very well: new German original Beat, which hopefully should be better than You Are Wanted. I was too busy watching Homecoming to start that so unless something better comes along this week, Beat will be getting the Boxset Monday treatment next week.

That means it’s just the regulars again this week, although even that number is about to start dwindling. After the jump, then, the latest episodes of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Doctor Who, Happy Together, Magnum P.I. and Titans, as well as the returning Black Lightning. I’ll also be looking at the season finales of Pine Gap and You, as well as the series finale of The Last Ship. Will it all end well, and will there be any more promotions this week? You’ll find out in a mo…

What have you been watching? Including Tell Me A Story

It’s been a bit of a slow one, this week – yes, I’m talking about myself – but it’s also been a bit quiet for TV. I’m vaguely considering watching Amazon’s Homecoming, since:

  1. It stars Julia Roberts
  2. It’s from Sam Esmail (Mr Robot)
  3. Each episode is only about half an hour long
  4. I would have watched it last weekend, but I was away (!)

But that’s more or less been it for new shows, although I’ll be taking a look at the first episode of new arrival Tell Me A Story (US: CBS All Access) after the jump.

I’m sure the weekend will bring us something new, though. Gosh, if only there were a handy feature on this ‘ere blog that could tell me when new shows were starting…

Time for the regulars, though. Black Lightning went on holiday this week, so after the jump, it’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Doctor Who, Happy Together, The Last Ship, Magnum PI, Pine Gap, Titans and You. There’s not one but two promotions in that list. Can you guess which ones will receive the TMINE blessing?

What have you been watching? Including Mr InBetween and The Haunting of Hill House

Not many new shows this week, so I was able to make it through the entire first season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina yesterday. I also passed verdict on Titans (US: DC Universe; UK: Netflix). I’m not sure if Netflix or Amazon have anything shiny and new for me this coming weekend, so who knows what might happen on Monday. I might even review all the films I’ve watched in the past six months in the exceptionally infrequent ‘Movie Monday’…

After the jump, we can talk about all the usual regulars: Black Lightning, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Doctor Who, Happy Together, The Last Ship, Magnum P.I., Pine Gap, and You. We can also talk about the final episode of Mr InBetween and the final two episodes of The Haunting of Hill House…
