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?"

[Northern Sold]

Joe C 10:11 Fri Jan 26 Band of Brothers is my all time best series ever... just pure perfection and historically spot on. Watched the first two of Masters and it's superbly done... I have read most of the books about the 8th AF and specifically about the bloody 100th (the bombing group the series is set around) so I am not expecting any historical bullshit licence (see Napoleon and SAS Rogue Heroes)... one thing I did raise and eyebrow about was the fisticuffs scene between the RAF Bomber command boys and the Yanks... especially taunting the yanks regarding it being safer at night... it wasn't... anyway apart from that an excellent first two episodes... the aerial scenes are something else...

"claypole 9:42 Fri Jan 26 If you put the original film aside, I found it quite entertaining for a London gangster yarn. The mistake they made was basing it on the film, where comparisons were bound to be made. If they hadn't done that the reviews would be 3 stars, rather than the 1 star it tends to be getting. But maybe I'm enjoying the so bad that it's good vibe."

claypole 9:42 Fri Jan 26 Turned ‘Sexy Beast’ off after 10 mins - absolutely awful! Makes a complete mockery of the film

[HammerFan43]

"Followed this thread for some while now and watched a few recoomendations. Some me and the missus have liked while others were complete rubbish. Each to their own. We don't binge watch just one series but have 6 or so both new and old just to give us a bit of variety. We're up to date and enjoyed both 'For All Mankind' (It's different), Reacher (easy watching), Yellowstone. Waiting for the next series for both. Completed 'Lawmen Bass Reeves' which was quite good and a golden oldie in 'The Musketeers (2014)'. Currently watching 'Scandal' (2012) as we missed this when it was aired years back.. Have all the epiosdes of 'The Pacific' (again missed when aired) waiting to be watched and we're waiting for all eipsodes of 'Masters of the Air' before starting on that."

[Joe C]

"Masters of the Air started on Apple TV today - been in development hell for a good while and HBO eventually dropped it, for Apple to then pick it up. Completes Band of Brothers and The Pacific, covering the three US military powers in WWII Had actually just finished watching BoB this last week, absolutely up there as the best show of all time"

[claypole]

"Watched Loudermilk and thought it got better after series 1. Watched a couple of Griseldas and enjoying that. Has anyone watched the t.v show Sexy Beast? I assume its a spin off from the film, hope its nothing like that Town called Malice shit."

Northern Sold 1:06 Thu Jan 18 Watching this on you recommendation Sold......and we are enjoying it very much! Cheers.

"Gave Reacher a go, bit of a slog but will finish season 1 as it's OK. I like the main character, but the plot etc is nothing new and just feels like something you have seen 100 times before. What happened to the great shows, instead of mediocre stuff like this?"

[Lee Trundle]

"Anyone seen Griselda yet, with Sofia Vergara? *unzips*"

[Alfs]

"Manuel 9:04 Fri Jan 19 You're right. I posted after ep 1, then it seriously went down hill."

[zico]

If anyone likes their box set documentaries American nightmare on Netflix is bizarre to say the least.

"RBshorty 12:03 Sat Jan 20 Likewise, both series good fun and not a preaching message to the viewer in sight which is very refreshing."

Just finished series 2 of Reacher. Good fun. Never read any of the books. May pick one up when I go on my hol’s. Look forward to Series 3. Amazon may be onto a winner.?

"Watching the fabulous Life on Mars, Beeb I Player.. Great stuff !!"

[Manuel]

"Alfs - You need to stop smoking them spliffs pal, the flight attendant is ridiculous garbage."

[Alfs]

Two very different recommendations. Criminal Record (Apple). Peter Capaldi starts as an aging and possibly corrupt cop. I've never taken to him as an actor but he's excellent in this. The Flight attendant. Comedy drama starring the gorgeous Kaley Cuoco as an alcoholic sex addict who gets involved in the murder of a very dodgy family.

"OK, I watched the first episode of TD 4. I thought it was shite"

[zico]

"Loved the Terminator 2 Easter egg in first episode of second series of Reacher, very funny."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

Oops that was a reply to Council Scum 12:48 Thu Jan 18

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"Same. Just finished the first series and thought it was very good quality. Well written, well shot and well acted. Surprisingly a largely unknown cast too. Also catching up on Succession which is as good as people suggested. Some really amusing moments in there."

[Lee Trundle]

"claypole 3:29 Thu Jan 18 ""The last Top Boy felt rushed and like the writers had lost interest."" I thought the same. It was all a bit obvious as well. Shame."

[zico]

RBshorty 1:50 Thu Jan 18 Thanks for the heads up. Start it tonight and they will all be on there by tomorrow. Perfect.

[claypole]

"The last Top Boy felt rushed and like the writers had lost interest. Went through the new Fargo and enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to the last series of Curb, hope it's pretty good, pretty pretty good etc etc"
