Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls

[HairySpotter]

"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?"

[Mart O]

"So finally finished The Punisher. Yet another series that tears the arse out of dragging the whole thing out over 13 episodes, although TBF there was a bit of logic to some of that. When it wasn't meandering along at 2 MPH it was interspersed with some ridiculous violence. Not sure how many times the cսnt gets shot, stabbed, battered to fuck, but all a bit too silly, really, even for me. Anyway, more importantly (MUCH more importantly), I just realised last night that season 3 of Gomorrah has kicked off, which I've not noticed mentioned on here. Watched the first episode last night - fucking superb."

[Alfs]

"Just finished season 1 of The Deuce, set in 1970's New York. Very good indeed."

[Takashi Miike]

"yes, the only thing on a par with it was the introduction of Negan on the Walking dead"

[Mart O]

"Marvel fucking it up with their Netflix stuff is becoming the norm for me unfortunately. They're dragging the fucker out so far, anyway. Thing is, if you watch back over the Punisher fight scenes from Daredevil, they are so fucking violent, I can't see anyone making a TV series like that."

[Takashi Miike]

"as long it avoids that stupid plot from The Defenders I'll enjoy it, they really fucked that up"

[Mart O]

"Trapped was excellent. Really enjoyed Stranger Things. It's daft but I think it's really well done. Agreed, Miike, it was always going to be hard for Punisher to meet those expectations. Be warned, it drags on. Anyway, hopefully, it'll pick up 2nd half of the season."

[Private Dancer]

"Been mentioned before but 'Trapped' is worth watching, about a mysterious murder in a town in Iceland, only 1 series in."

[Takashi Miike]

"not started it yet, always thought it would be hard to match that prison fight scene from The Daredevil series finished stranger things, last two episodes were good but fuck knows what they were thinking with episode seven"

[Mart O]

"Anyone else started on The Punisher Almost half way through, bit disappointing so far but I'm hoping it picks up."

[Alfs]

"I'm on season 2 of The Girlfriend Experience. It's about a nympho law student who becomes an escort. I'd give it a 7/10. Season 2 has different characters. Anna Friel plays a gay government bod, and unlike in Brookside, gets her kit off."

[DukeofDevo]

"Watched The DEUCE recently 8 eps of New York circa1971 prostitutes, pimps, drugs, police corruption. James Franco Maggie Gyllenhall in some of the most explicit sex scenes I've ever seen on tv Good story as well"

"watching the second series of stranger things, started well but gradually losing its way with a couple to go. another three or four series would be a bad idea"

[Grumpster]

Second series already confirmed falace.

[crystal falace]

struggled through tin star but did enjoy the last 3-4 episodes when everything came to fruition. Is there going to be a second season do we think? or are they just going to leave it on that cliff-hanger ending? not sure what else there is for them to do in a 2nd season

[Grumpster]

"Not really a box set as such, but someone told me to watch Taskmaster (Greg Davies hosted show) recently and I absolutely love it. Very funny indeed."

[Takashi Miike]

"neco, I can see the next series if they bring it back featuring him on a different case. he just plays a unhinged character better than anyone since dennis hopper"

[wurzel]

I managed 2 episodes of The Sinner Fucking pony

[neco]

"Takashi Miike Glad you enjoyed it & agree about Bill Pullman, he was excellent in that role. A certain episode near the end really psyched me out, was thinking about it all night. Good to see it's finally on Netflix UK. https://goo.gl/Y6GDdM"

[Takashi Miike]

"I enjoyed The Sinner, I just wish Bill Pullman would do more tv"

[claypole]

Also thought the misuse of Christina Hendricks assets criminal as well.

[Sniper]

"Claypole I think the argument there is that the drunk chief remembered nothingnof his actions when he sobered up. But he would have remembered them when he was drunk because he was two people effectively. Very odd Whitey was a decent character in the end - butvthe weird dancing shit at the start was just so random, whilst the side story of the evil oil firm went off in an odd direction too Sortbof came together ok by then end but wasn't really worth the effort and a waste of a decent cast and good idea"

[claypole]

"I thought tin star was quite strange in the fact that nobody knew who each other were despite the fact that they must have met 10 years previous. Enjoying Vice principles, thought snowfall was good as well. The Vietnam doc was excellent and showed what a sneaky fuck Nixon really was."

[Takashi Miike]

"I agree about Tin Star, I gave up after two episodes I thought Ozark was average will watch Sinner next"

[Sniper]

"Tin star was really disappointing If the whole thing had been like the final two episodes it may have been much better, but tonally its all over the shop - stuck somewhere between gritty and dark comedy, but none of the actors are on the same page. Tim Roth is just tim Roth-y and the actual concept of the whole thing plays out very oddly. The lack of actual emotion shown by two parents after their son is shot in front of them is also absurd"
