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]

"Alfs - I watched the first one but wasn't convinced so packed it in, the northern accents were grating me, maybe I should pick it up? I did watch the BBC mini-series 'Four Lives' about the serial killer in Barking, played by Stephen Merchant, it was good."

[Alfs]

Sherwood on the BBC is excellent.

"stowie's recommendation got me watching it, but anyone a bit bored by the money dominated premier league should have a look at the bunch of amateurs youtube channel, and in particular the two dorking uncovered series It follows the last two seasons for dorking wanderers in the national league south and their mission of moving one step away from league two. they're led by owner manager marc white and his volunteer management team, marc as you'll find out is quite a character. the first series episodes are much shorter (10-15 minutes normally) so you can get accustomed to the characters very quickly. I loved it and if the club crest makes you suspicious of marc, he's a self confessed wimbledon fan. what you have to take in to account most about this team, is marc started off the side in the depths of park football and has gradually climbed the ladder. I'll attach a link to the first episode...... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjWtY6WnNI the channel has covered other teams, but the dorking videos are worth watching first"

"When I saw a 10 year old with midget legs, out running an adult, I was on the way out, but the whole Darth Vader/Obi Wan was the clincher, as it completely throws out the timeline with Star Wars"

[Swiss.]

Yes Disney has totally messed up Star Wars. I don't think the woke thing would have changed regardless who bought the franchise. Just sign of the times.

[Feed Me Chicken]

Just another in a long line of Great Film and TV that has been ruined by disney and the like……. Soon to be joined by LOTR when that starts airing its woke version.

[Swiss.]

Council Scum 6:02 Mon Jun 13 I'm up to episode 4 now on Obi-Wan and as I disagree that it's utter shite I agree it's disappointing. I mean it's pretty average to be honest.

"""Can't see why they wouldn't have supported it."" they wouldn't extend it past the fourth series, it doesn't matter how good a product has been for them because they're main priority now is catering to cunts like you"

[Alfs]

"Takashi Miike 1:51 Tue Jun 14 Ozark is one of their biggest hits - Ever. Can't see why they wouldn't have supported it. Also, the creators would have had no say in how it was broadcast. It's more like Covid disrupted the shooting schedule and Netflix were desperate to get it on air, due to plunging subscription numbers. As brilliant as it was, it was time for it to end."

[Takashi Miike]

"ozark was very much like that. because of a lack of support from wokeflix, the creators decided to split the last season in to two lots of seven episodes. It was great up to the mid season break, yet completely ran out of ideas by the finish. a shame"

[White Pony]

"I give up on almost every “box set” I start. The only ones I’ve finished were Sopranos and The Wire. Not sure if I have a short attention span or if I just get terribly bored of the constant stream of contrived and consistently more ridiculous situations that most of these shows think up to keep people hooked. Homeland is a good example. Also, many of them are just dull or copycat shit. Quantity over quality seems very much to be the order of the day."

"Zico. Agree with that, SC is up there with my all time comedy shows, great scripts and so much outstanding acting."

[Stowie.40]

"Not exactly a box set but anyone else been on the bunch of amateurs series on YouTube. The Dorking series’s are worth a watch, decent look into non league."

"Never heard of it until recently when a mate suggested it, but I am absolutely loving Schitt's Creek. For those not in the know, as I was, it's a US comedy series created by Dan Levy and his father, Eugene Levy. First episode I wasn't sure but as you get into it and get to know the characters it's an absolute hoot. Catherine O'Hara is absolutely brilliant in it, as they all arr. Can honestly say I don't think I've enjoyed a comedy series as much as this since Only Fools."

[ted fenton]

Agreed TM I take it you mean the name that sounds like a dog bark !!! I didn't want to spoil it for others.

[Takashi Miike]

"finally finished ozark, hopefully that's the last one seeing that they've killed off the only likeable character"

[Haz]

"We Own This City on Sky Exposé on the Baltimore Police Dept. Produced by David Simon, he of The Wire fame. Sat down to watch 15 minutes to see what it was like and pulled myself away from the screen 3 episodes later! Will watch the last 3 this evening."

[Council Scum]

I found Obi Wan utter shite. very disappointed.

[Swiss.]

Watching Obi-Wan which is set 10 years after Anakin got his legs chopped off in that movie. Pretty good I mean you got Darth Vader and all that stuff. Most on here probably can't afford Disney stream on top of yer Virgin box.

[Manuel]

Alfs - Don't really see the sense in giving up on it right close to the end.

[Alfs]

"There's lots that you'll enjoy for free here, Jaan - https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc"

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"Slow horses is utter shit, as is Apple TV."

[Alfs]

Slow Horses on Apple is worth the £4.50 per month alone. Gary Oldman is superb.
