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?"

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Late to the party on this one, but enjoying Babylon Berlin. Into series two of four, sort of noir/detective/plotting in pre-Nazi Weimar Germany with a lot of sex in decadent nightclubs and street violence between the far right and communists. Bit of Bryan Ferry too, doing the nightclub crooning, unexpectedly."

[Manuel]

"Yep, the last episode was good. I need something to get my teeth into and since there isn't much I fancy I think I will try Ozark again, couldn't get into it last time and ditched it after around 5 episodes but may try again."

[Alfs]

I agree about White Lotus.

[happygilmore]

Finished The White Lotus S2. Enjoyable and nicely wrapped up in Esp 7.

Not box set as such but sky nature has a new series called Predators. Started on the one about Cheetahs and its fascinating. 5 episodes.

[Alfs]

"Pepsi, where's my Jet on Netflix. Amusing and fascinating."

[DukeofDevo]

"Started watching Echo 3, only one Episode in but seems decent. Luke Evens in the lead. Seems similar in story to Proof of Life"

[Far Cough]

Not a box set but I hope someone will comment. Just bought 4k Blu-Ray version of Kurosawa's Ran. Supposed to be spectacular war scenes.

New series of Slow Horses begins on Friday. Looking forward to it.

[RBshorty]

House of Dragons. I’m going to save ten hours of your life. It’s a fantasy show. Written by Doris’s for screaming blue hair Doris’s. It’s has a couple bloody birth scenes. And a few CGI Dragons. Not a patch on the original source material. But it was this. Or the Amazon take on Lord of the Rings.

Just finishing SAS: Rogue Heroes and although I completely agree that this could have been done in a different way and been our Band of Brothers and my god would I have loved to have seen it shot that way it is still a very entertaining series. Jack O'Connell is first class in it.

"5 episodes in, and after a slow start, The White Lotus, is brewing up nicely. Not doing a bad job of selling Sicily as a holiday destination. Some stunning actresses too. Where is Yellow jackets available to view. Doesn't seem to be on any of Disney+ apps etc yet?"

[Gaffer58]

"Thought I’d give Our Universe on Netflix a try, onto episode 3 and it’s seems to be more like a David Attenborough nature program, thought it would be a bit more about the planets etc."

[Chip Shop Charlie]

"Just finished Dopesick...well acted, grim, eye-opening drama about Purdue Pharma and the Oxycontin epidemic."

[Nagel]

The Singing Detective is being repeated on BBC4 this week. 3 episodes on Thursday and 3 the following Wednesday.

[CanningTownWA]

"I am enjoying Tokyo Vice at the moment on the BBC, first episode is directed by Michael Mann and it stars the Baby Driver star and Ken Wantanabe. I like seeing films of the Japanese underworld for a change. I also thought Giri/Hiji was very good and now on Netflix."

[collyrob]

Can’t remember if I mentioned it but I finished yellowjackets. Very enjoyable

Thought All Quiet on the Western Front was superb how fortunate that we were born when we were and still we don't learn with Putin the cnut being responsible for so many innocent lives.

[New Jersey]

"Can't find anything to float my boat at the moment. Gave Nine Perfect Strangers a go but wasn't for me, neither was The English. Started Season 2 of the Handmaid's tale but it seems a bit like season 1, cruelty heaped upon cruelty. Hanging on for Happy Valley 3, thought the first two were some of the best TV I've seen."

[Northern Sold]

Agreed Jim… thought it was magnificent… and a 100 times better than that joke fabricated series the BBC have done about the start of the SAS

[Jim79]

I know its not a box set but the recent addition of All Quiet on the Western Front is really something. Wow what a harrowing but incredible film. You just cannot begin to understand how wars like that and WWII happened and how they were relatively not long ago. Its like something from a different universe these days. Effected me in the same way as Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers. I watched it with the English dubbing on and it was really good esp as i could focus on the action rather than reading subtitles. Dubbing appears to have come a long way from the days of Bruce Lee movies.

"Yes, the hotel manager is well off, I find the two hookers irritating too. The other characters ar fine. You wouldn't kick Aubrey Plaza out of bed!"

[Alfs]

"Agree with you, Manuel, re The White Lotus. Though it would have been difficult to surpass the performance of the gay Aussie drug/alcohol addict. Still enjoying season 2 though. Yellowstone 5 is no where near as good as the earlier seasons, but I'll stick with it."

[Swiss.]

I'm glad that Egg from This Life has made a good living from The Walking Dead.
