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?"

[Joe C]

The Good Place Ted Danson is absolutely superb in it

[crystal falace]

"Yeah I barely managed to soldier through season 2 of JJ, feel like that may have been cancelled too if not for an inevitable backlash about cancelling the only show about a female super... blah blah you know the rest"

[Takashi Miike]

"sorry, DD2, not DD1 :.)"

[Takashi Miike]

"yes, JJ1 was superb. for me DD1 is still the stand out, especially when The Punisher appeared. it's just a shame The Punisher series was a bit crap"

[Swiss.]

crystal Jessica Jones SE02 was shit as well. SE01 was good because KIllgrave is such good villian and brilliantly acted by Tennant.

"Seems like they may be doing a ""heroes for hire"" series which combines both Iron Fist and Cage, but both series ended on pretty big set ups for the future so not sure, I'm sure Disney will pick them up on their new streaming service if Netflix don't want them."

[Swiss.]

A discovery Of Witched. Started OK but in the end pretty shit. I gave up on it; I mean doesn't compare with the US series like The Originals which was excellent.

[Swiss.]

last Iron Fist series was total pants. Not sure Daredevil will get renewed. Isn't Charlie Cox shagging the producer? Oh maybe it will.

[Takashi Miike]

they're not renewing Iron Fist or Luke Cage. i can understand with the first character but Cage had potential to get better

"I'm about 9 episodes into daredevil and I'm enjoying it, agree it is a bit slow in places, all of these Netflix marvel shows have the same issue of having a few episodes too many where the series would be a lot better if they just condensed them slightly. Not sure on the whole Bull's-eye origin story they've created for this series as he never really and one from what I've read about it. Also the FBI agent having the surname ""Poindexter"" is really annoying me, especially as nobody has even made a joke about it."

[Grumpster]

Just re-watched Extras. Superb.

[Swiss.]

The Haunting Of Hill House is OK. I'm up to Ep6. It's slow paced and fucking depressing. Not a shock a minute by any means. But interesting and well acted. Been very disappointed with the new Daredevil so far but half way through it's starting to kick off. Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin is a piece of art in itself.

[Takashi Miike]

the lawyer Zellner in MAM2 makes Strang & the others in series one look like amateurs :.)

[Trevor B]

"I didn't realise how many hidden ghosts there were in each episode, there's a list of them on their twitter feed and various websites, makes it even spookier when you realise all the background bits you missed."

[PwoperNaughtyButNot]

Finished it too - it was really good. Unlike typical horror movies you are able to understand the characters and it was quite lovely in a way.

[Trevor B]

"Finished the haunting of Hill House, really enjoyed it. Love Carla Gugino, she's superb in it. Little bit of useless information, she was in the video for Bon Jovi's Always."

"theaxeman 11:34 Wed Oct 17. I have seen all 9 seasons , only the past year and going back again to download. There are so many lists of the best episodes etc. For me its impossible to choose one, as forget how good the ones off the favourites list are also sublime. Forgot about Kamikazi Bingo - watched yesterday and man the line about the Japanese Dad being a Kamikaze Pilot and in a care home now and Larry simply implies he must have been crap at it or changed his mind haha and the Japanese fella replies - well he ""Grazed the ship"" cracked me up. Grazed. ffs Larry David and co have first class use of English. The Terrorist is a bit slow but the final when he shouts Fatwa and terrorist at the funeral is fucking funny. Watching Palestinian Chicken then change of genre and trying making murderer 2."

[Nurse Ratched]

"I've forgotten about that, Tak. I ought to have watched MaM1 before I started on the second."

[Takashi Miike]

"nurse, whose report was it that talked about the avery's in a bad light and talked about cousins sleeping together and other strange behaviour? was that his defence lawyer kachinskey or the private investigator who cried in court when seeing the blue ribbon?"

[Nurse Ratched]

Interview/confession

[Nurse Ratched]

"Started on MaM2 last night. A few thoughts: 1) I forgot how much I loathed Brendan Dassey's first trial lawyer, and it brought it all flooding back. Not good for the blood pressure. 2) Listening to Brendan Dassey and his mother happily making plans for his release was very sad in light of subsequent events. 3) Seeing footage again of his police interview/footage made me grind my teeth down to stumps 4) Rather keen on Avery's new lawyer. Makes me chuckle. I would hate to find myself on the wrong side of an argument with her. 5) We were told by the prosecution in MaM1 that 'sweat DNA' from Avery was found on the bonnet latch of Teresa's car, and this was obviously not something which could be explained away or 'planted' by corrupt coppers. It's the one piece of evidence that casts doubt on Avery's claims of innocence. But the defence team in MaM2 says it wasn't sweat, and in any case it's nigh on impossible to get DNA from sweat. Something like that. So what WAS the non-blood source of DNA? Saliva? Seriously?? And why didn't his original defence lawyers pull this aspect of the forensic evidence apart? Trying to keep an open mind on Avery's guilt or innocence. However, the American legal system is not covering itself in glory here, especially with regard to Brendan Dassey."

[Bernie]

What about MANHATTEN on prime? I LIKE IT

[westhammerer]

I've found Making A Murderer 2 a bit disappointing so far. Obviously lacks the drama / unfolding of the first and is a bit slow and reliant upon long interviews (e.g. 'What did you think of such and such...'). Anyway maybe the pace will pick up.

[Iron Duke]

"Maniac had a charm about it which I liked. It was just missing something that would turn it from OK to fantastic. I thought it dragged on in places, as American series are prone to do. Sometimes you can tell a story in 6 episodes rather than 10."
