The Night Of is a cracking mini-series from HBO for anyone who hasn't seen it.

After finishing a rewatch of Game Of Thrones, I’ve just finished the first season of Slow Horses. Not bad.

Apologies. I know it's not a box set but didn't know where else to put this. Recent You Tube documentary tribute to the late Dylan Tombides.

Yes Tulsa King, of course. I'm nearly as old as Stallone and Delaney so such lapses are to be expected!

Dana Delaney is 68 (so 66 maybe when it was filmed) and still has a surprisingly nice arse and remarkably good legs.
Tulsa King?

Yep, decent isn't it.

You do have to wonder about someone who admits something is pretty crap but then still maintains it's 'worth a watch', as if it's 30 minutes long and not the best part of 10 hours. mental.

Manuel,

I wonder at someone who is a thick cսnt and doesn't understand English. Where did I say it was crap? I just said drawn out which you can say about just about all serioes these days. 

Any way you are not in a position to critises anyone after what one of the mods told me about you..haha

It's not actually worth anyone's time watching. Gave up after 4 episodes, how on earth it got dragged out to 10 episodes. I'll never understand. One poor cսnt in work  has endured 9 episodes despite admitting it is crap.

What is it in Slow Horses that when a colleague is murdered it's generally greeted with just a shrug of the shoulders or even a quip, edginess gone way too far. It is still decent compared to some other stuff, but suspect series 5 will be the last one.

I'm 4 episodes in and am loving Fight Night: Million Dollar Heist.  Great cast, Don Cheadle, Samuel L Jackson, Kevin Hart amongst others.  A dramatized account of what went on around the Quarry v Ali fight back in the 70's.  Superb stuff!  Do yourselves a favour and watch it!

The Penguin is superb so far, Farrell is outstanding.
​​​​​​Very different from what I was expecting.
I didn't realise this is the  work of Matt Reeves.
I havent seen his version of Batman ,  apparently his Batman version will be a trilogy and will tie in with the Penguin 
 
Reeves' version of Batman is VERY good imo. Far darker than Nolans, which I also rate highly.
Yea I agree Mary.
Nolan's trilogy was very good..(the second was the best imo).
this Reeves fella is playing a blinder so far , I'm impressed

Also Paris Has Fallen continues to be excellent.

Started off decent enough but fuck me, by the end I was so done with that far-right kidnapping storyline.

Really unsure on if I should proceed with the 2nd series.
Yep, same here.
starting watching the first series to see what all the fuss is about
Lazy stereo- typing of the white working class male.
I'm not going to list them because the labels insult me.

I agree, Manuel, Slow Horses is already tiring, though a 5th series is already in the can.

I've watched the first 3 (of four) of Four Kings. Very good indeed.  Sad in many ways, too.
