Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls

"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.]

Sorry but did I just read that Gangs of London is better than Mobland??? you mean Gangs of London who in the last season had a whole episode where a pregnant bird fought off assassins and then gave birth mid fight and strangled an assailant with the umbilical chord of her just born child while it was still attached to her!!! 

I was tempted to watch it on recommendations here but if that's true I don't think I'll bother 

Yeah what a great scene that was. Great unique entertainment as apposed to Tom (I'm such a hammy hard man) Hardy telling everyone he's gonna break their bones etc etc. 

[Jim79]

Manuel/Anon, don't bother if you are selective in what you watch. Im relatively happy to watch stuff that maybe isnt on the surface that great as sometimes a show can surprise you but Gangs of London is truly awful now. The first season was maybe ok and it is hugely action packed and stylishly shot but the characters is shit and the story line is pathetic, all style no substance.

I don't need to watch it, anything titled Gangs of London is nailed on to be shit. Why do people watch shit like this.

Watching American Primeval on Netflix, very well made and acted but the storyline is a bit grim and brutal, but captivating at the same time, based on true events from 1857.

[Manuel]

Collyrob - Did you stick with Dope Thief? I'm up to ep 7 now, after a good start I thought it fizzled out a bit.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

The only thing that offended me about Adolescence was how fucking boring it was. I mean, impactful subject matter but awfully done. IMO. 

Also, where can I watch Mobland?

Paramount.+... doing a 7 day free trial ..lords knows why.
I haven't watched a second of it but can likely nail the general theme and lazy characters.

I quite enjoyed the film Mobland with the disco king ..one of those you werent expecting ...bit like blue ruin

[Manuel]

Just finished This City is Ours on I-Player.....Personally I think it's the best drama I have seen for a very long time.Yes the Scouse accent is a bit annoying but it's a great watch with plenty of twists.



 

I will get onto this, most stuff with Sean Bean is good and this looks good. Agree about the Scouse accent (and their slang) was the same in The Responder with Martin Freeman.

For once the woke BBC has actually produced a 9/10 drama.

That's about it, Shorty.

 I remember being stunned when watching The Sweeney in the 70s that some weeks the baddies got away.  I don't think you'd ever see that happening nowadays.

Haha .
I grew up in the 70s..we're indestructible.
it was tough growing up....but I wouldn't change a thing .looking back....tough upbringing  is how  we survive...?
 As a  7 yr old being subjected to wing nut collars/goulash/ Rugger./mental barnets/ 

  queuing for my pink free  dinner ticket for all see   ...(now that WAS child abuse)
 the 'CANE' 
 Our parents were absolute lunatics who drove about in Austin Maxis ffs

I reckon we are the ultimate survivors .

If Stephen Graham was really a Jamaican Scouser, he would sound like John Barnes.

yep.
digger Barnes  they called him in his  hey day.
Then the real Jamaican came to town

Watched the first episode of Mobland last night. It looks like Tom Hardy is saying, how the hell do I get out of this load of old cսnt. Cant see the makers of Gangs of London doing anything but laughing.

The only films I've  rated Hardy  is in THE  REVENANT and THE DROP .

all about opinions of course

Reacher.

Comes into town.
Hit's some Bad Guys.
Bangs the Boss Babe.
Kills the Bad Guys.
Leaves town.

Rinse and Repeat.

And yet Amazon insists on spunking over $1 Billion on Lord of the Rings. Trying to reinvent the wheel.

"A Fool and his Money. Are easily parted.!"

It's incredible how much money Amazon spent on LOTR only to produce something that looks like it was made by the Si-Fi channel.  It looked as cheap as The Shanara Chronicles. At least that had Ivana Baquero in it...grrrrr

Reacher 3 - Good stuff as usual, the good guy maiming the villains etc, some great scenes as always. Will say though that at around episode 5 I thought it got a bit tiring, maybe they should be 6 episodes. He's a great character though that the viewer can connect to and like. Season 4 confirmed.

Agreed.  It did drag on.

This City is Ours on IPlayer ain't too bad.

I thought Reacher 3 was pretty poor compared to seasons 1 and 2. 

[only1billybonds]

Russ.

Mobland is on Paramount plus.

I see SNL did a White Lotus skit taking the piss out of Aimee Lou Wood and the her complaints after. Was very funny btw.. Has probably brought her more publiucity.

Mobland - It's Guy Ritchie, so it's cliched and nothing we ain't seen before, but yea it's fucking good, with good acting. One episode a week, so you have to wait, which I like.

Manny's on the march.
out of step...but he's a trier  god bless him
Jumping jesus 
Holy cow

I wouldn;t say Mobland is typical Ritchie but he didn';t write it only directed. Also Tom hasn't gone full "Hardy"for once thank God.  It's very good even if Stephen Graham is not in it...shock horror !
