"Have started on the 2nd series of Dark, but I wish they'd done a little recap at the beginning, as I cant remember what the fuck happened in the first series. Good watch though."

Canning Yes seen 1st series if Bank Heist /Casa del Papel. It's excellent. I've been told season 2 is also goof bit 3 not so. Umbrella Academy is good for the sound track alone. Love Banshee but who doesn't.

The wife and I are going through Buffy again during dinner time (on Prime) Generally a great written show and a bit of fun. Some of it maybe nostalgia from my glory days when I first watched it but I think it holds up generally (though I like the first three season more than the rest)

"Joe C 9:56 Sun Jul 28 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls Binge watched The Boys on Amazon this weekend, is really good and highly recommended. I finished this last night, thought it was brilliant, not to keen on the ending but obviously just leaving it open for another season. That scene with the Dolphin is one of the best things i've ever seen on TV, had me in stitches."

"Anyone watching seven seconds? On Netflix and is basically a rework of The Shield with the background of "" a gang banger getting killed by the Popo "" Some decent performances ( main actor was the preacher In ozark ) its a little right-on and BLM positive for me however im about half way through and think in the end everyone will be shown to be a cսnt apart from the kid who died ;-) Recommended."

Gomorrah (subtitled) About the Italian mafia and drug cartels in the areas. Three series of 12 episodes and a proper bingefest. My favourite box set so far by miles.

Yes. I’ve watched the first 2 episodes of the second series and it hasn’t disappointed. You need to concentrate to watch it or you’ll miss something important.

I've been recommending Dark for ages. The best thing on Netflix. Two points: 1. It is nothing like Stranger Things. It is much better. 2. Watch it in the original language with subtitles. It is well worth doing this.

It's probably why The Wire was a superior series because you could like/empathise with more characters
