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?"

[Swiss.]

Second episode of Penguin is as good as ever. I wonder if Batrman will make an appearence. Doubt it.

Also Paris Has Fallen continues to be excellent. 

[BRANDED]

I hadn't noticed Industry until recently.

Fuck me. It's probably one of the best TV series I've ever seen.

On iPlayer. HBO show.

[Joe C]

Just finished the latest series of Brassic. Daft, but very funny 

[Swiss.]

Actually got it wrong. Paris Has Fallen is 8 episodes. So far excellent and I'd recommend to watch.

Four part documentary series on Prime. Probably a few years old but it's a great nostalgic watch, Four Kings, Bruno, Benn, Eubank and Lewis.

 

I think it's quite recent, Zico, as I read a (very good) review of it in The Guardian yesterday.

It is actually very recent, my mistake, thought I had seen it before but definitely not, it is new.  I'm up to episode 3 of 4 and it's very good although obviously quite sad in parts.

2 part mini series Paris Has Fallen is very good. You can’t get a better villain than Bethnal Green boy Sean Harris. I’ve never seen him in anything bad . Great actor . 

[collyrob]

First episode of The penguin was brilliant. 

Enjoying the Mr McMahon documentary on Netflix as well.

[Swiss.]

Joker 2 sounds like a dark remake of a A Star Is Born. Will be shit.  

[Manuel]

Colin from accounts season two is fucking dreadful, had to turn it off.

After watching Reggie Perrin with Martin Clunes, I'm giving 'Warren' a look, it's not great but a nice little sitcom and only six episodes.

[Iron Duke]

New series of Gone Fishing started. Very funny.

I’ve also started catching up with Colin from Accounts. Pretty good.

[stubbo-admin]

Recently/Currently watching:

For All Mankind (alternate space history...what if USSR won the race to land on the moon). Worth a watch.

All American (black lad from the hood gets taken to Beverly Hills to become a high school football star). Good if you like coming of age American Football dramas...a bit like Friday Night Lights. Only on season 1 though .

Parenthood (One to watch with the missus
 Light hearted family-based drama..Pretty good, all be it a bit asinine).

…although The Joker sequel is meant to be shit.
 

Think I read somewhere that it’s pretty much a MUSICAL!!
They can fuck right off.

[Lee Trundle]

I really liked the Joker, so I'm dreading to see what they've done to the sequel.

I normally struggle with spin offs because the majority of them are just cash cows for the original project, but I'm quite keen to see the Penguin from what's been said on here.

[Manuel]

Yep, The Penguin looks great and not as dark as I thought it might be. I love the Batman films and the spin off stuff, although The Joker sequel is meant to be shit.

[Swiss.]

Agreed that The Penguin 1st episode is good. 

[side effect]

I have done the caley sleeper about 30 times being an anorak and I couldn't handle it myself.

Regarding the sleeper they upgraded the rolling stock about 5 years ago and the seated section is 10 times worse.

[happygilmore]

The first ep of The Penguin is excellent.

Agree . Thought it was excellent.  I'm not going to look at options to binge, happy to savour weekly. 
Colin Farrell was brilliant 
 

 

[Alfs]

The first ep of The Penguin is excellent.

[happygilmore]

Agrre Alf.
I gave up after 20 mins. The beeb is gone ro shit. Atrocious stuff

[Alfs]

Night Sleeper on the BBC is simply the worst drama I have ever endured.  Avoid at all costs.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

The Penguin with Colin Farrell looks promising 

[Manuel]

OK. Think I'll give it a shot.

[Swiss.]

Yeah I watched The Perfect Couple and enjoyed it. Nice to see the once love of my life Isabella Adjani (watch La Reine Margot) acting again. I probably still would. 

DD Lewis bagged her didn't he?
