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?"

[Alfs]

Yea I will see it through, the London setting was one of the pulls. Always quite liked Knightley, West Ham isn't she?

I thoroughly enjoyed Black Doves.  Great characters.  And a season 2 has already been commissioned.

I thought Black Dove was pretty good for that sort of thing! Surprised by Knightley, but she did have a good cast around her! London also looked very nice and not a Palestinian flag in sight! 
Also excellent use of the expression ‘cսnt Struck’ by Tracey Ullman

I watched the first episode, it's OK but a bit slow and cliched imo, but might hang in there.

Will give Day of the Jackal a go in the new year.

[Manuel]

Any opinions on Black Doves?

[Alfs]

I recommend The Agency with Michael Fassbinder and Richard Gere, CIA stuff

Is that good>?  Been wondering if I should give it a go or not.  Started watching Benidorm on Prime,.  Never saw it before oddly and find it extremely funny.  Tried that new Jack Whitehall Xmas Movie and god had to turn it off after 20 minutes.  The definition of unfunny cringe I think today's generation would say!

I tried it last night and found it painfully slow and switched off after 30 minutes.

The Dune series is shit by the way.  So slow,,,,

Benidorm is a bit old now but fucking funny, they did milk it for too long though.

Giving The Responder a go, it's a bit ''in your face'' but you can't go wrong with Martin Freeman.

Black Doves is fun.

Yeah it's OK. I see Keira Knightley along with Eddie Redmayne for his role in Day of The Jackal have been nominated for Golden Globe awards. 

[Alfs]

Black Doves is fun.

This month, I have mostly been watching Brassic, and recommended to friends and to you all, Mr Inbetween. 

[Swiss.]

Watched the penultimate episode of Day of The Jackal. Suberb.

Landman with Billy Bob Thornton.  Only one episode in but hooked.

[Swiss.]

I've been wetching the second season of Based on a True Story. Quite fun and I like Kaley Couco.  Tom Bateman's serial killer is quite a laugh. 

Recent episode of Day of the Jackal was awesome. 

[collyrob]

Starter Say Nothing, on Disney +, brilliant so far.

[Alfs]

Certainly worth a watch, Swiss.

[Swiss.]

Has anyone watched Temple with Mark Strong. Can anyone recommend it ? 

[Council Scum]

I know I've mentioned this before but I've now got to the end of season 2 of Get Shorty and it is a cracking watch.

I've also been watching re-runs of Fraser on C4 and have laughed hard at the majority of them. 

Yes its a shame they stopped it in COvid, looked set for a season 4 and never happened.

Am update to date on "Before" its very good. 

[Swiss.]

Watched first episode of Dune Prophecy and I'm quite impressed. Strong cast (exccuse the pun) and good CGI. 

WolfHall 2 doesn't disappoint. Mark Rylance is probably one lof the world's greatest actors, 

Day of The Jackal just gets better.. 

[Manuel]

I think I will get onto that, Alfs.

Was reading that Danny Dyer is getting praise for his role in Rivals, shock horror, he can actually act in different roles. Good for him. I remember Hugh Grant was accused of the same thing until he proved them all wrong with different roles with the likes of A Very English Scandal and The Undoing.
