Say What Again Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Go back to Breaking Bad. I watched the first two series and, while I enjoyed them, didn't think they were as great as friends had made out. Get to Series 3 and it just gets better and better. Ended up being the best TV show I've seen. Absolutely loved it. Agree as well. The guy who recommended it to me actually said stick with it for the first two series. I'm glad I did.

Jambof3tornado Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Line of duty on bbc2 1st episode was decent. Black sails has been great. Going to prepare for game of thrones by rewatching the last series. Got vikings series 4 to watch still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Watched the third (?) series of Shetland over the last couple of nights. Decent crime drama though Shetland is quickly becoming the new Midsommer! Watched the first episode of Touch last night. Keifer Sutherland is the dad of a wee boy who is mute but is obsessed with numbers. The numbers he is obsessed with all have meanings and the first episode showed a lot of promise.

Haken Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Watched the first 3 of The Night Manager. It's ridiculous but self-aware. Enjoying it a lot. I enjoyed it. Lawrie was really good in it. The posters talking about Jessica Jones - is it worth sticking with? I watched three episodes and was bored rigid. Absolutely loved Daredevil, though, and will get round to watching Season 2 in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Billions - starring Damien Lewis. About the corrupt Wall Street bankers and the authorities trying to bring them down.

I believe they're all planned to come together at some point so may be worth sticking with it for that reason alone. Well, that reason and Jessica's arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Walsh Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Really enjoyed the Night Manager, great cast who lived up to the billing. As mentioned, only 1 episode into Billions but looks like it will be another great series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddley Walker Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Up to date with The Night Manager. It's a great watch, he is a totally shite spy though How many times is he a second away from being discovered, or is just creepily staring at someone in a spyish way with a suspicious look in his eye.

Are folk taking the piss with these sorts of comments? Im guessing it's about 10 episodes a series? That's like 20 hours of your life til it "gets good" To me that just says it's not that great.

Tazio Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The Ranch on Netflix with Ashton Kutcher Danny Masterton Elisha Cuthbert and Sam Elliot is alright. It just about makes it to alright, but I'm not sure. It certainly doesn't reach good. And you forgot to mention Debra Winger who is the best actor in it IMO. Sam Elliott just doesn't have comic timing, Kutcher is useless. However Danny Masterton is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Pleased to see Black Sails getting some credit It seems to to exist under most people's radar, no doubt as its only on Amazon (as far as I know). Easily one of the best shows on Tv and deserves to sit with TWD and GoT when such things are discussed. At the risk of repeating myself into double figures on this thread, Vikings and Daredevil currently completes my top 5 - with Better Call Saul and while we wait on Narcos again. So there you have it. Those 7 are my definite top 5. Edited April 4, 2016 by Say What Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Just finished " American Crime story" OJ Simpson Trial. This has been outstanding. Rivetting TV even though we obviously knew the outcome.

John Gentleman Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The night manager took a couple of episodes to warm up but I was loving it by the end of the series. Thoroughly enjoyed it and great to see Roper get his comeuppance in the finish. Line of Duty, on the other hand, ......well you just don't who'll be the real villain (or, at least, worst) of the series. The writer, Jed Mercurio, certainly keeps you guessing. Cracking stuff to watch though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Im sure Lindsay Denton has been framed. Keely Hawes is terrific in displaying the ambiguity of these character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 NightManager was good apart from two things and as they were important, they did spoil an otherwise excellent series. The ridiculous ending which had to be changed from the book as it didn't suit the moral thread the BBC were aiming for, and even worse, the horrific casting Olivia Coleman. Why we need to have the introduction of an emotional pregant over acting actress into the world of spy catchers and controllers defied belief. Someone needs to tell her that shouting isn't an acting method, and that she was only a success in Broadchurch because Tennant carried her. No wonder she wanted a second series of Night Manager, she must realise that her good luck will run out eventually. Luckily Hiddlestone and Laurie have ruled out returning in these roles as if the BBC were allowed to carry on with this series, they would no doubt a mange to turn everyone into a tree hugging goodie two shoes.

Carl Fredrickson Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Just finished a few 11.22.63 I loved the book and was sooooo looking forward to the TV show but once more Kings book has not been adapted well. The book was a page turner that kept me up way beyond my bed time but the TV show lacked the drama and tension of the book, If you havent read the book you will enjoy the show a lot more. If you have read the book, I would advise that you avoid the TV show. Vinyl Watched this after a recommendation and I loved it. It is about the rise and fall of a record company in the 1970s. I found it compulsive viewing with some amazing acting and probably the best sound track of any TV show. Mick Jagger was the executive producer so I assume he was quite influential in making it feel so realistic. Line of Duty season 3 Wow. Just wow. The BBC have one of their best shows tucked away on BBC 2. Season 1 and 2 are filled with twists and edge of seat moments - 3 episodes into season 3 and the standard is as high as ever. I doubt there is a better show on the BBC at the moment, We have recorded The Night Manager and The People v OJ Simpson so that will be our next couple of shows.

JudyJudyJudy Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Just watched season 2 of American Crime". Not to be confused with " American crime story" The first season was excellent and it was about a white " hate crime" murder and the reprecussions from it. Excellent acting from Felicity Huffman , Timothy Hutton and others. The second season is about male rape in a prestigious elitist college / high school. It has the same actors as the first season but obviously different characters. Both seasons are outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Me and the missus binned Les Revenants season 2 after a couple of episodes.
