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?"

Manuel 10:44 Sat Dec 11 Cheers Manuel will have a butchers.

[Sydney_Iron]

Dont know if its mentioned on here but Red Election is a good watch. An MI5 come Nordic noir combination! Britsh and Danish secret Service and of coure the Russians.....

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Just finished the last in the series of Narcos, the 6th one and the 3rd set in Mexico. Thought they might be spinning it out like a lot of other series, but IMO the last one turned out to be the best. The kind of separate but intertwined story of the copper having pangs of guilt and then looking into the disappearances and deaths of girls in the area could’ve been a small series/film in itself and the acting and how his character unravels was brilliant. Shame there isn’t a 7th and 8th"

[Manuel]

ted - I think you would like The White Lotus. Only 6 episodes to catch up.

[Mattie Mulshun]

"Spent the last few evenings watching an old BBC comedy Coupling. Funny AF. Series 4 not as good , the Geoff Murdoch character was no longer in it."

[Manuel]

"Colly - I'll finish this season but doubt I'll bother with season 4. I just can't see what has happened this season, the storyline has barely from on from episode one."

[collyrob]

"Manuel 6:34 Fri Dec 10 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I think this season has been excellent. Genuinely, and I’m not being smart here. But why don’t you stop watching something you quite clearly don’t enjoy?"

ludo21 6:42 Fri Dec 10 I love Mortimer & Whitehouse

[ludo21]

"Bit off topic and obviously for men of a certain age but I've only just discovered Mortimer & Whitehouse - Gone Fishing (BBC iplayer). Absolutely fantastic, and I don't fish... watched all 25 episodes in the last 2-3 weeks. Very therapeutic and funny... just like spending a couple of hours down the boozer with mates."

[Manuel]

Succession is now an absolute fucking borefest. Eight 1 hour episodes in this season and literally nothing has happened. It's fucking awful.

[collyrob]

The dick pic scene in this weeks succession was top class.

[ted fenton]

Last episode of Mr Mercedes tonight the first series was brilliant second not so good third and last series has been a bit far-fetched as in someone will get shot in the leg and a couple of days later they're carrying someone on their shoulder !! Apart from all that I would recommend it as it was given the heads up on this thread. What to watch next then ?

"Watched the white lotus and thought it was very good, without being anything exceptional. I couldn't help thinking of the UK show Benidorm, though."

[only1billybonds]

"BBC2. 10.30 tonight,90 minute docu on Phil Lynott. Followed by Thin Lizzy gig. (Highlights)."

[Pagey]

Miike - I just remember my mate getting me a ticket and me turning up! One of my mates drove and it took a couple of hours to find the car. Prodigy we’re brilliant and I was a huge Ocean Colour Scene fan back then too. FMC - I saw it on Sky Store and it said I had a free voucher via Sky VIP so I bought it using that! I think you can rent it for £2.99. Acquiesce sounded incredible live.

[Feed Me Chicken]

Pagey is it on streaming now? If so where please

[Takashi Miike]

"Pagey, I was there too on the saturday. I thought the Prodigy stole the show, and agree the atmosphere was great. the only downside was having to get a train back to kings cross. I'll have a watch of that later"

[Pagey]

I just watched the Oasis Knebworth 1996 documentary and it was a decent watch. I was lucky enough to get a ticket for the Saturday and definitely didn’t realise how fortunate I was at the time. It brought back some good memories and it was lovely to see not one mobile phone in sight! Just people enjoying the moment without feeling the need to film everything and upload it to show random strangers that they were there.

[aldgate]

"Just re-watching the office as it is now 20 years old. Some great lines/scenes. Finchy's ""nearly done"" in the car park headlights is a classic."

meat curtains 2:17 Fri Dec 3 American Rust is a bit of a mixed bag Leaves too many loose ends for me

[meat curtains]

"American Rust on Sky Atlantic. Starring Jeff Daniels. only seen the first episode, and on the fence. Sky Atlantic have form for good quality shows, which is the reason I gave this a go. Interestingly, on Rotten tomatoes it has a vastly different rating between the critics and audience vote."

[DukeofDevo]

"White Lotus is excellent, thought the two young girl’s epitomised everything that’s wrong with the spoilt youngsters today."

[Manuel]

"I liked Succession at the beginning when it looked like the old man might croak and when they went to Scotland for the wedding and Kendall had that car episode, and Chiv was having affairs, etc, there seemed to be stuff going on then, but now nothing much seems to happen, imo anyway."

[Nagel]

If you prefer plot driven to character driven stories then Succession might not be your thing. The White Lotus has more plot twists but similarly dark comedy. Episodes run from 54-65 mins but there's only 6 episodes and it doesn't outstay its welcome.
