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?"

[Manuel]

Might give Sugar a go.

Dope Thief is pretty good.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Anyone watched 15 Storeys High?
Stars Sean Lock.

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

  Being a rabid  Chelsea cսnt , always gave him a swerve.
I ll give it a bash 

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

I don't think you're allowed to like Spacey any more, didn't he bum some boys or something?

Cleared of all charges.

No smoke without fire, Alfs! Best to label him a bummer of boys to play it safe.

Indeed.
that's the standard form of Hollywood .
The devils playground.
Always has been.

The BONDSMAN  is good fun ..

but I do love a bit  a bacon

Cherval, it's a bit of a leap thinking Adolescence is white working class male bashing, Steven Graham is a great working class dad who thinks his 13 year old kid is in his room playing video games. It could happen to any dad, working class or not.

Cheers Jim, I will look at the behind the scenes stuff on YouTube.

Do your homework you SMUG div.
GRAHAM LOVES A BIT OF WHITE WORKING CLASS MALE BASHING
Bods like you ..  middle - class apathetic clueless WANKERS like you are a MAJOR PART OF THE PROBLEM...

I have been catching up on earlier shows that I had missed recently.
I really liked Sugar on Apple TV with Colin Farrel,l LA detective series with a spin.  It’s a pity they never did another series.
The other one I am enjoying is Undercover on Netlfix, a Dutch/Belgium show.  It may take a couple of episodes but I am hooked on it now. Not the run of the mill police/drugs prodecure, I would definately would recommend.
Luckily there are 3 seasons and I bet it gets remade in the US or here.

I like Riviera...I know. Not to be taken too seriously.

It was based on a black muslim lad (now denied after all the media coverage by the writer) but yeah, its all cool, as Stephen Graham is Jamaican now and suffered racial abuse as a kid.

Another fan of Reacher here. Got through it really quickly. As said below though don't take it seriously.

... and 'Mobland' on the way, a Guy Ritchie turnout with Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Tom Hardy.

Watched the first episode of Mobland last night, great actors though a bit underwhelming imo, could be miles better, work in progress.

[John Coffey]

billy - agree re Spacey. Excellent actor. Rewatched American Beauty last weekend funnily enough.
Talking about being very late in watching stuff, I might be even later than you, as I’ve just finished Season 1 of 24!

 

Don't know if you've seen it, but he was also very good in Swimming With Sharks.
Highly recommended.

 

Not seen that film MMG but will look it up. Cheers

Reacher is a decent watch as long as you don't take it to seriously.

Will have a look at 'Mobland' and 'This city is ours' over the next week or so.

Very very late on this one but am loving House of Cards. Kevin Spacey is a superb actor and he and his (screen) Mrs really do play their parts fantastically well.

That is late. I found the first 3, maybe 4, seasons were superb, then it lost it's way imo. Agree that Spacey is a great actor.

The English Game on Netflix.

About the beginnings of football and professional football based on history, actual characters and Teams who were the pioneers
I never knew that professional football started up North, mainly Lancashire, and that the FA along with the rules were founded by the elite amateurs from London & the Home counties.

Not a documentary, well worth a watch!



 

Did they not push the recent emerging narrative it was invented in Scotland? That will piss them off. Good.

The first professional players were Scots bought down to Lancashire to play for Darwen FC.
Maybe that's what they meant.

 

[RootsRadical]

Adolescence was excellent.
Was shot like a horror movie the way the camera followed the characters  tension all the way through from start to finish.

The final scene is harrowing, was still thinking about it the next morning. Not ashamed to say it brought tears to my eyes, moreso the next morning.
I have a young son so it resonated with me.

[JAC]

I also finished Reacher today....  worth watching, Severance, now that is a pile of shit.Watched 3 episodes and wish I hadn't.

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

Thanks chaps.
Think I'll persevere a little longer.

The scariest thing is im hearing that they've commissioned at least another 3 seasons which means we aint getting any answers anytime soon

 

 

 

I may be wrong mate, but I think they've renewed for a third series rather than three more series.

[Council Scum]

Im about to finish the second season of severance and I've got to say im struggling with it now. Although slow and a bit ponderous I found the first season brilliant and kept you guessing all the way through. The second season has just gone completely batshit crazy and I literally havent a clue whats going on or where we're going after 9 episodes. The scariest thing is im hearing that they've commissioned at least another 3 seasons which means we aint getting any answers anytime soon, its just gonna keep getting more and more bizarre and abstract. It has the ability to both send me to sleep and make me feel like im tripping balls when watching it as its completely bonkers.

With you on that Jim, gone from having an interest in the characters, to not really giving a fuck anymore.
