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?"

Anyone started on the new Reacher yet?

Yes mate....silly story but worth watching ....He's a fucking unit.

Careful fella. One of the sites resident bog trotters will be calling you a housewife
Must  admit I quite like Reacher. Not exactly Earth-shattering TV, but you know what you're gonna get.
Must've read at least 15 or so of Child's books. TBH, they're all pretty much the same.
The big guy giving wrong 'uns a slap. What's not to like?

I agree Manuel.  This season has no likeable characters apart from Aimee Lou Wood and is lacking in the humour of the earlier series'.  It's also rather slow.  Shame.

Yep, she's the best character. I watched the third episode and literally not one plot progressed from episode two. Borderline fucking weird. The three girl friends is just rubbish. Annoying Yank family.

Paradise pretty good. Bit of a murder mystery with a sci-fi element 

[Manuel]

The new White Lotus, nothing is happening and the characters are pretty boring? Looks like one series too far. I really liked the first two before the Swiss pipes up. Hopefully it starts to pick up.

Was chuffed to see that 'the worst man in the world' Richard Roper is in the new Night Manager, which will be the best thing this year.

Anyone started on the new Reacher yet?

Yeah.  It's nothing special but entertaining enough.

Royle Family was ok, Early Doors was fucking superb, Rovers was fucking gash

[El Scorchio]

Talking of slightly obscure British sitcoms from 20 years ago, anyone remember Time Gentlemen Please?

[El Scorchio]

15 Storeys High is fucking quality. It's mental how famous Benedict Wong has gone on to be as well.

'Oooooiiiiiii!'

'Come clean your hands on my coooooat'

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

Yes, i loved it but you probably have to be a fan of Sean's dry/deadpan delivery . A channel on YT called ChorltonBrook have all twelve episodes uploaded

 

 

Cheers mate, will give it a go.

White Lotus is so boring. 

[Manuel]

Manuel - Thanks, mate. I didn't go a bundle on the Clunes Reggie Perrin remake, but glad you enjoyed it. If you liked Royal Family I suspect you will enjoy Early Doors even more!

I think it was more to do with liking Clunes to be honest. Might give Early Doors another go.

Did you ever watch Still Game?

[Sydney_Iron]

Just starting Rogue Heroes, about the beginning of the SAS, slow start but building nicely and a fucking great soundtrack, Stranglers, Sham 69, ACDC etc tremendous stuff! 

[Gank]

I tried Early Doors but couldn't get into it, probably didn't give it enough time. Loved the Royal Family, though.

A White Lotus fan here, haven't started on the third series yet, set in Thailand.

I'm the other way round - absolutely hate Royle Family but love Early Doors

Early Doors on BBC iPlayer...criminally under-rated comedy rarely repeated on the BBC. Basically, it's The Royle Family set in a pub; the two lazy coppers are superb.

Are there still temporary traffic lights by the McVitie's factory?

And, more importantly, do you like circuses?

Surf - Will always remember you gave me the heads up on Reggie Perrin, which is brilliant, also went on the watch the remake with Martin Clunes. So might have to give Early Doors another look.
