Agreed What we do in the shadows is a good bit of TV. The actor whobllays Nando cracks me up. Please help. Can some one tell me the name of the pukka Vietman war documentary that won awards. It has been mentioned and recommended on here loads but I can't remember title and thought it was on netflix? Thanks in advance

Joe C 9:41 Totally agree fella. Thought the original film was quality. The TV series isn't far behind imo. Also think pretty much anything Matt Berry's in is worth a watch. Obviously helps if you appreciate that type of humour. Flight Of The Conchords was also a decent watch.

Looks can be deceiving Manuel. And anything that Taika Waititi has a hand in is always excellent

"I sometimes use to 'buy into' these 'fucking brilliant' shows, until I watched a couple and they were nowhere near. What we do in the shadows looks fucking dreadful. Succession is little more than decent. Still, each his own (apparently)"

Succession is back on sky box sets. I’ve watched the first 5 eps. It’s fucking brilliant.

"I started The Dark and kept my interest up to the time travel stuff and I gave it up. Basically, the whole premise of the film. It's a bit like saying I enjoyed Line of Duty, up to the bent coppers stuff."

"BeauLarkyBuff 12:45 Fri Jun 12 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I thought White Lines was dreadful'' The whole storyline of White Lines was built around who killed the DJ, but the viewer didn't give a monkies who it was. Must be the worst 'who done it' I have ever seen."

"Snowfall is similar to the Wire mainly in that they're both about drug dealers. It's not as good but still pretty decent and worth watching. It's about how the crack epidemic in early 80s LA started and pretty much blames it on the CIA, which is debatable. Decent acting, including the lead actor, who's actually from Peckham."

"I thought White Lines was dreadful. Terrible acting and direction so gave it up. Currently watching 13 Reason Why. on Netflix, quite good. Enjoyed Space Force, very funny."

Can you watch zero zero zero on any normal telly things yet? I’m years behind on the downloading so can’t watch it that way.
