We’ve started watching a new Apple TV+ series called Bad Monkey, starring Vince Vaughan

Set in Miami, he’s a cop on suspension who can’t help himself and starts investigating a potential homicide.

So far we are enjoying it, but you have to be a fan of Vaughan, I think. He’s got that style that can be polarising.

Quite enjoyed Elsbeth on TV1.

A bit different for a crime drama. You see the murder committed and then watch her solve it while the police go down a different track.

Wife and daughter are watching Keeping Faith on TV1 demand, but I lost interest after the first episode.

Kaos on Netflix.
Stars Jeff Goldblum (amongst others) as Zeus - the Greek God.

It's set in a modern version of ancient Greece (if that makes sense) - i.e. mythical Greece is real, the people still worship the Gods and the Gods are a wildly dysfunctional family, who have varying degrees of disdain for either their own family or the human population or both.

It's at times a bit confusing, but well acted and interesting, but you do need to know at least a tiny bit about Greek Mythology to understand who some of the characters are.

It's a bit like watching modernised Shakespeare. Sometimes fun, sometimes confusing, mostly entertaining.

I'm up to episode 5 and enjoying it immensely.

Been really struggling to get into Time Bandits on Apple TV+.

It just feels...a bit rank.

It gives me a very similar vibe to Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet (the one with Leo DiCaprio and Clare Danes) -

For anyone looking for a quirky but fun "murder mystery" dramedy, Population 11 on TVNZ+ is very good.

It follows Andy, an American who travels to outback Western Australia to find his dad, who is an Aussie chap that runs alien encounter tours near a tiny outback town in the middle of nowhere, where everyone has some kind of story...

Fun, weird, unexpected and also sometimes a bit serious. My wife and I are really enjoying it.

Other things we are engaged in watching currently, but constantly awaiting the next instalment:

Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power - Prime
Bad Monkey - Apple TV+
Only Murders in the Building - Disney+
Unstable (s2) - Netflix
Double Parked - Three Now

Just binged two seasons of Colin From Accounts on TVNZ+
Very good comedy drama from Australia about a couple who run over a dog, adopt him (along with his wheels) and name him Colin.

It's an exploration of the differences between Gen X/Y and Millennials as much as anything else.

Really enjoyable but does go deep on the drama at times at the expense of the comedy.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency : NETFLIX
Based on the "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" novel series, written by Douglas Adams
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4047038/

Im really enjoying this. Fairly unpredictable , a bit scifi, a bit steampunk (sort of)

Im hoping the 2nd saeson is also on neltflix NZ

---------

Happy . Netflix
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2452242

I saw the 1st series a while back. I'll defintely watch the 2nd series now that I see its on Netflix
One of my favourites . Its very much an adult show , with adult themes .
If you like quirky TV this is a good one. Think a very dark/adult themed roger rabbit type show

the British show Dirk Gently is much closer to what the books were and in my opinion is a far better series if you loved the books.

Finished watching Bad Monkey on Apple TV+ - Really enjoyed it and hope there's a second season.

Have also just finished season 1 of The Old Man on Disney+ - slow but enjoyable, if you like that sort of thing.

Just started The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix - really getting into it. Quite enjoyable, if a little formulaic.

Agatha All Along on Disney+ is a bit tedious but I am now invested enough to want to see it through, but I am not a fan.

I tried the Citadel: Diana (Amazon Prime) last night. U like the previous one with Pryanna Chopra. This is Italian over dubbed English. I guess you can watch either subtitles.

Not sure if it will survive too many episodes.

I'm not usually a fan of American TV but I quite enjoyed that one, and I'm really looking forward to the new season of Shrinking.

Just read an article this morning where Vince Vaughn was saying what to expect in season 2

Ooh, that's promising.

I have loved a lot of the side-characters in this too. Like the dad, played by Scott Glenn.

The show used Vaughan's talent to be annoying really well - clever writing.

Slow Horses now on Season 4. A dysfunctional team of MI5 agents and their obnoxious boss, the notorious Jackson Lamb, navigate the espionage world's smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces.

Succession - American series The Roy family controls Waystar RoyCo, a powerful global media and entertainment conglomerate. However, the unexpected retirement of the company's patriarch ignites a power struggle.

The above may have been mentioned in other posts, but I was too lazy to check the 272 pages.
