Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls

"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

[B6NY B]

"Depend what you want from it I guess? The plot twists are great, loads of things you don't see coming. I think most series are like that, you need to watch 2-3 to get into them and that's what I did. On series 2 at the min, episode 9. Watching it in 4K helps, looks the bollocks! Will get with Narcos when I'm done."

[Mart O]

"Watched the first episode of Power and thought it was shockingly bad, gave up. So you boys are saying it gets better ?"

[jools268]

Halt and catch fire on Amazon. Set in the early80's tech boom. It's excellent.

[collyrob]

"Power is excellent. I was a bit sceptical at the start because it has 50 cent in it, but it's brilliant."

Just finished watching (again) the Sopranos. Now watching Shades of Blue (Ray Liotta and J-Lo)

"Obsessed with POWER at the minute, just confirmed series 4/5 too. FUCKING LOVE IT"

"Finished season 1 of 'Occupied' last night (Norwegian series about a Russian occupation, subtitles etc). Had been hesitating over whether to watch it as it felt just a little too far fetched for my taste. How wrong was I. It's not the fasted moving but I think the writing is excellent. One of the best things about it was that I didn't feel like they were stretching it out, as I do now when watching most American stuff. I thought it took an unusually subtle look at the various characters and the conflicting situations they find themselves in as those sneaky fucking russkies go about their dastardly deeds. Would highly recommend. Oh, and Mr Robot was fucking toilet."

"The problem Westworld has is that it has to live up to the film, which is a fucking classic. And the poor bugger stepping into Yul Brynner's shoes needs to nail it. He died 31 years ago and was 53 when he made Westworld (looked about 40 the sod), crazy."

[Takashi Miike]

just finished series one of narcos and I've enjoyed it. not sure it would have worked if they'd had Escobar and the Colombian characters speaking in English so good call by the producers & Netflix. the fella playing Javier Pena reminds me of a young Burt Reynolds :.) good story here from this week about Escobar's Hippos terrorise villages in Colombia http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3795436/I-ll-never-forget-screams-children-Pablo-Escobar-s-hippos-terrorise-nearby-village-children-forced-run-lives-beasts.html

"B, I couldn't recommend it any more! Narcos is great, I've only got 2 episodes left of S2. Westworld looks like it could be excellent. What a cast and creative team."

[Aardvark]

"gph 3:26 Tuesday Sep 20 I'm watching No Offence at the moment too. I agree that it's not great, but it is watchable. It took quite a few episodes to get into it and it's only because it's a bit of English telly, that I've stuck with it."

[Trevor B]

"joey i might give it a go again, problem is coming into autumn/winter is when you get a lot of new series starting so probably wont have the time. just started narcos last night, looks very good after only 2 episodes. watched two series of bloodline last month, enjoyed it. looking forward to westworld starting soon"

[joey5000]

"Reply Trevor B 12:10 Tue Sep 20 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls Enjoyed S1 of Mr Robot, gave up after three episodes of S2. S2 has been quite polarising for many, but most agree that it does improve as it goes on. I've loved it from EP1, but then I'm a massive fanboy."

[Sniper]

Surely you're all just holding out waiting for prison break season 5

[Trevor B]

"Enjoyed S1 of Mr Robot, gave up after three episodes of S2."

Mr Robot's Rami Malek won the best actor Emmy the other night! Well deserved. Main winners: Drama - Game of Thrones Comedy - Veep Mini-series - The People vs OJ TV Movie - Sherlock Lead Actor- RAMI MALEK (Mr Robot) Lead Actress - Tatiana Maslany Lead Comedy Actor - Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent) Lead Comedy Actress - Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep) Has anyone on here watched Transparent? It does well in the awards and Jeffrey Tambor is a great comedic actor going by Arrested Development.

My cousin has Downs Syndrome and she is a prime example of maybe why it should depend on the strain as to whether they should be able to vote. Absolute fucking LUNATIC.

[Trevor B]

"""Didn't know that a) Down's Syndrome people have the vote"" why on earth would you presume they didn't???"

[gph]

"Although other sources give an average IQ of fifty for Down's syndrome people - may be a question of definition, as there are three types of Down's syndrome - extra chromosome, a chromosome with a duplicate bit of another chromosome attached, and mosaic, where only some cells have the extra genetic material."

[gph]

"Watching ""No Offence"" - not great, but educational. First ep is about a serial killer who targets Down's Syndrome individuals. Didn't know that a) Down's Syndrome people have the vote; b) their average IQ is 80; c) the boundary between normal and subnormal intelligence is also 80, so half of Down's people are of normal intelligence (obviously, most of that half are in the lower part of the normal range); All this backed up by other sources. d) there is a demand for Down's prostitutes, both male and female. Don't want to check other sources - this is a work machine!"

So just finished season 4 of Ray Donovan. Started out poorly but got better. Not sure about the last episode though. Don't want to put up any spoilers but I thought it managed to be both far fetched and a little flat. You cunts ?

"Pablo's wife to Pablo's Mum 'have you always just taken whatever you wanted?' Pablo's Mum 'Yes, and so has Pablo' LMFAO. Best shit I've seen for a long time."

[Pancho]

So disappointed with Mr Robot - gave up at the end of series 1 with the family thing. Load of old shit! Narcos on the other hand is absolutely superb.
