TV we have been watching

We have been enjoying watching The Last Ship on Amazon. Five seasons free and we have almost finished season 3. It's amazing how invested you get in the characters which probably indicates good writing. However, we have both felt that some of the main story lines have gone on just a little too long. Overall though, very enjoyable.

Madam Secretary is another good programme but we have watched all the free ones we can.

They don't have a brilliant selection of films but we manage to get a good one every now and then. Being a member has been a bonus in the current situation as terrestial tv is rubbish at the moment.

  1. I do have Amazon Prime so I can get a lot of films for free now, but we have been working our way through some of my DVD box sets each evening during lockdown. We have just finished Two Thousand Acres of Sky and now we are watching Luther. As different as chalk and cheese but very enjoyable. It's Doc Martin next so less murder and mayhem ... I presume ;-)

    1. Haven’t yet got to boxed sets. Enjoying finding all these new series for free, so to speak.

  2. Not sure I can face Last Ship right now. I love White House dramas [not the real Trump ones tho] like West Wing and Designated Survivor, so I shall check out Madame Secretary. thank you for link. We got Amazon last yr when my OH was ill and needed to rest. Certainly grateful for it now, terrestrial TV very disappointing.

  3. Never heard of either so looked up the last ship - eeek! an epidemic wiping out 80% of the population sounds a bit too close for comfort!

    1. Its already happened by the time it starts. It’s more a look at what happens afterwards as the states gets to grips with no longer being united.

  5. I get sad, when a series comes to an end. I haven't heard of this one - will have to look it up. We're watching World on Fire right now.

  6. I don't have Amazon TV, but I do have Now TV so am able to enjoy Madam Secretary, I like it very much.

    Other than that we're been watching some old BBC shows on iplayer, it's been great as we don't have a dvd player.

  7. Think I did 3 series of Last Ship when it came out originally and then gave up as the story line lost me. Always intended to go back and see the final outcome. We have just found Killing Eve and like it. I may have also converted my husband to Nordic crime at last!

    1. Yes, season 3 was strange and 4 even more so but we will stick with it I think.
