My dad initially mentioned it was 3 episodes, but I've seen 8 episodes listed online. Haven't had a chance to see the show yet, but plan to soon.
I was maneuvering through STARZ On Demand and it says 11 episodes. I have three episodes recorded but it wouldn't pull up the third for whatever reason. It said that it originally aired on the last week of October and will air again next week, but it wouldn't play.
I have DirectTV.
:dunno: I don't know what's going on with that.

It just occurred to me that Conlith Hill (Varys from GoT) is the Chief or whatever the Garda calls them. I'm not accustomed to seeing him with hair on his head. :lol:

It was easy to recognize him w/o the glasses.

Interesting re: the varying counts on the total number of episodes. Over here on the westcoast ... we've got Telus as our provider. Pops has one of the main competitors (Shaw). Some of the other big names for cellphones and home services (TV, internet, etc) are Rogers, Bell, Teksavvy, etc.

o_O:dunno:
Look at this Wiki. I thought it started last month on DirectTV, but look at what's listed as how it was supposedly scheduled. Even STARZOD showed the Oct. dates but I must've confused my recordings with shows on HBO, Netflix, Amazon or something.


Broadcast began on BBC One on 14 October 2019, on RTÉ One on 16 October 2019, and on Starz on 10 November 2019.

Indeed - they make things interesting with assorted release dates. Similar to movies that get their early release/premiere dates at the film festivals ... and then make it to the big screen later in the year. Or The Irishman with the film festivals ... then a short-time on the big screen ... followed by Netflix next week. People have been asking - "So when's that one gonna be available?"

My dad's gf wants me to get Hustlers and Downton Abbey for her. She wants to watch The Irishman with us on a movie night, haha!

TV shows to get excited about in 2020



The Plot Against America
Advertisement

(HBO/Sky Atlantic) The Wire mastermind David Simon executive produces this adaptation of Philip Roth’s chilling novel, which imagines what life might have been like in the US if Franklin D Roosevelt had lost the 1940 election to the controversial aviator Charles Lindbergh. Winona Ryder plays a Jewish woman, Evelyn Finkel, with John Turturro also starring as rabbi Lionel Bengelsdorf, a man with unexpected connections to Lindbergh, thought by many to be a Nazi sympathiser.
To be confirmed

SUITABLE BOY


(BBC One) The BBC’s first period drama featuring an entirely non-white cast. Based on Vikram Seth’s breeze block of a novel, A Suitable Boy ostensibly follows a family’s efforts to find a husband for their 19-year-old daughter, though it broadens out into a stark state-of-the-nation look at post-partition India. Andrew Davies adapts, Mira Nair directs, Ishaan Khatter, Tanya Maniktala and Tabu star. This is going to be big.

HUNTERS

(Amazon) Riding high from his showy turn in The Irishman, Al Pacino moves to the small screen with his best work of the past 15 years. The year is 1977, a team of Nazi-hunters uncover the beginnings of a Fourth Reich in the US and set off on a bloodthirsty quest to stop them. It’s timely, outlandish and Jordan Peele is executive producing.
To be confirmed


Lovecraft Country
(HBO/Sky Atlantic) Another Jordan Peele series – although here he’s working with JJ Abrams – Lovecraft Country is a horror drama about a man travelling across Jim Crow territory to find his missing father. There are two things standing in his way: the first is the harrowing racism of white America in the 1950s. The second is monsters.
To be confirmed


5120.jpg


(BBC One/Amazon) A Turner prize-winning artist and an Oscar-winning director, Steve McQueen tries his hand at the small screen with this anthology series delving into the history of London’s West Indian community. Spanning the late 60s to the early 80s and starring Star Wars actor John Boyega and Letitia Wright (Black Panther, Avengers), the show offers a window into the triumphs and hardships of black Britons.
To be confirmed


The Eddy
(Netflix) Jack Thorne and Damian Chazelle unite for a Netflix musical drama about a jazz club in Paris. And, listen, I know. You’ve already made your mind up about this one. You’re either going to stream it the second it arrives online, or avoid it like the plague. Would it kill you to give it a try?
