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?"

[Hermit Road]

"That’s an option, but then I wouldn’t be able to talk about how shit it is with such authority."

[Nurse Ratched]

You could read a book while Mrs Road watches it. Or have a nice bubble bath (don't knock the bubbles till you've tried it). Or watch Mousetrap Monday on YouTube.

[Hermit Road]

"Fair enough, what about the acting and storylines? One of my problems with it is how unlikeable the main characters are. I like the young girl who runs the casinos with them although she overplays the role a bit but the character I don’t mind, the main family though are just a bunch of insipid, pseudo-intellectual moralists. I want to see them wiped out by the Mexican Mafia and someone else take over the lead. My other problem is that I have to watch it because Mrs Road likes it."

[Nurse Ratched]

I don't see it that way. The hillbillies are portrayed as being rather savvy. Same as Justified. Dewey Crowe notwithstanding.

[Hermit Road]

Ozarks is just Hollywood taking the piss out of middle America for being (in their view) thick and uncultured. Bloody ridiculous story lines and terrible acting

[Nurse Ratched]

Surf - incredible. She is a very striking woman.

"ray winstone 10:40 Sun May 24 Cheers, will tuck into that tonight."

"I need to crack on with Ozark and get it finished, started to lose interest after Helen became all pally and brought her kids down. The character Ruth was starting to irritate me as well. First 2 seasons were great!"

[Lertie Button]

"State of happiness, just finished on bbc 4 was fantastic"

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

Lisa Emery is 68. FMOB!

[Nurse Ratched]

Darlene is a great character. Totally unhinged.

[Nurse Ratched]

Darlene is a great character. Totally unhinged.

[collyrob]

That Darlene one scares the bollocks out of me.

[ChillTheKeel]

I've now witnessed Darlene get naked and laid not once but twice in Ozark. The makers really are sick cunts.

Northern Sold 10:16 Mon May 25 Haha. The Barry White of Basketball

[Roeders Jacket]

"Northern Sold 10:16 Mon May 25 Ha Ha. Bloke certainly got screwed over on the contract side early on and very much the unsung hero.. Divided option re his his commitment at times, but never in doubt during that final game doing. 5 min shifts between the physio table. Ovrrall a great watch."

[Northern Sold]

Hermit = Scottie Pippen

[Hermit Road]

I thought it was good but far from the best sports documentary ever. The main reason was because Jordan had a big hand in controlling the narrative of it so we only got to see what he wanted us to see. The best documentaries should be a bit more objective than that.

[claypole]

I am not much of a basketball fan but really enjoyed The last dance

[Manuel]

Do you need to have an interest in basketball to like the last dance?

[Grumpster]

"Have been steaming through Taskmaster again. Not just the best programme ever on Dave, but would rival many of the comedy shows on any channel."

did anyone else watch brookside and crack one out over that redheaded mental one who got off with a bird|? also was a permed headed bit dark haired bit like a scouse Kelly brook. I had one of my first hand offs to her. also there was a right dirter in it who was going out with a right la scouse coke dealer ; she was like an early scouse version of Jodie marsh only without the mooey and a bit cleverer. ba and te were legendary. coked up fooking tear ups la - and it also had the socialist worker party hero rickery Tomlinson in it who was so scouse he once rowed a ferry cross de Mersey cavernsy werking class crack proper bubble bit of a la right old crack lar - cross de mershey such jokers dem scouse lahs

[Northern Sold]

Pagey.... ditto that...its so good im watching it again... best sporting doc i seen for sure... also watching Last Chance U on Neflix... 3 episodes in been excellent so far

Just watched a rerun of the second series third episode of 'rainbow'. Bungle attempts an armed robbery which goes badly wrong and results in a passing lollipop lady having the top of her skull blown off with a sawn off shooter discharged by an accident. as bungle and the other blaggers skintch about trying to save the blag - the gavvers turnt up in a capri pretty sharpish and bungle gets copped for by the Sweeney - and ends up on the wrong end of a 7 stretch for attempt murder and armed robbery in Belmarsh. one of my favourite episodes of rainbow and notable for being the first depiction on English tv of a bear being nicked for armed blaggery - and for being about slags getting pinched and going behind the door for a naughty bit of work gone wrong. so earthy and 1980's. this was all before live aid and before boy George lost his barnet and strapped a gay prosser to a radiator.

"Just concluded the 1979 BBC production of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Quite simply a pinnacle of dramatic production that we're unlikely to see again. Forgive my hyperbole, but the ensemble cast, the script by Arthur Hopcraft from Le Carre's book is peerless. 7 hours of a TV masterwork - if you haven't seen it yet - do so - you won't be disappointed. By the way, not the first, or last time I've viewed this."
