"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?"

Northern Sold 1:21 Tue May 26 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommen Excellent series and so was the second. After a while they moved to a different college with a massive tit as Head coach so the series rapidly became unwatchable.

"Chill - She’s a decent actress, I just don’t like the way they’ve changed her character. Rossal - Are you saying it doesn’t improve after Season 3 Episode 3? If that’s the case i may not bother finishing it"

mallard 6:10 Ruth's great. But then I've always rated Justin Timberlake as an actor.

"Rossal - I've watched a load of stuff with similar types of themes to Ozark, so should have naturally like that too, but I'm with you, got about 6 episodes in and had to jack in it. Slow moving, annoying characters and everyone borderline suicidal."

"Ozark is terrible, watched all 3 seasons.......shit storylines where nothing really happens. I dont get the hype around it at all. Power, Line of Duty, Bodyguard, The Stranger, first series of Designated Survivor all on netflix and much better Currently going through Narcos which im liking"

"Nagel 7:15 Sun May 17 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls Ted, yeah it gets better. First few episodes seemed like a poor reworking of the film but it improves. Also, all 3 seasons are completely separate and self-contained so you could always try out season 2, which is the best one I think. Just finished series 1 of Fargo and you were spot on Nagel we really enjoyed it."

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.

"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."

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

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

"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!"
