"Different gravy is Band of Brothers. Concentration camp and right at the end describing where they are now (well then) are goosebump moments and as for Bastogne, well FMOB and bugger that."

"Starting to hammer Netflix due to work being so dead. Watched The OA last week. Not too bad, was a grower. Watched all 13 episodes of The Detectorists Wednesday/Thursday. Absolutely loved it, am a bit gutted there were only 13 of them. Now started Bates Motel."

Just watched the last episode of 'a thimble full of excreta' - the danish drama noir maxi serial about Hortense the vegetable shop lady and her lezzer geese pets. Their exploits were riveting. It held me in thrall for several days. I went without sleep and ate only twiglets as the moody drama unfolded like the legs of an ironing board.

"Right, I'll add Fargo to my list then, PD. Recently watched Goliath based on a recommendation off here. A little formulaic but good stuff none the less and thought Billy Bob Thornton was excellent. One that I don't think I've seen mentioned on here is 'Show me a hero'. Excellent HBO mini-series."

"I need to watch Fargo, never seen the series but absolutely loved the film. Will finish off Vikings tomorrow and will then crack on with it. Been told Bates Motel is worth a watch as well, though as the source is a woman, not sure it's trust worthy info!!"

"Masterpiece is right, Grumpster. People were putting their top 3 series up here a while ago, but I didn't bother as I couldn't decide at the time. I'd go: 1 - The Wire 2 - Gomorrah 3 - Narcos I'm still not decided about Band of Brothers. While it was great, it just felt a long way removed from the what I've read about it all. I reread 'Overlord' by Max Hastings recently and by Christ anyone who got from Normandy to the Eagle's Nest must have been exceptional to say the least. I'm planning to watch the while thing again...once I've finished Rectify, Daredevil, Vikings...FMOB..."

"BRANDED 1:03 Wed Dec 7 Guess it's because it's their manor and if they moved, they would be back to being a small fish in a big pond. These fuckers can never retire, they just want more wealth and power. Utter fucking hole though, I'll give you that. 3rd and 4th series already commissioned and it's a masterpiece."
