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?"

[Swiss.]

Will check out a new series called Revival this week.

As it's a TV thread just thought I would plonk this on here.  Found out recently from someone that if you have had your Sky dish for years and it's gertting on a bit Sky would replace it for nothing.  I don't have any insurance with them so didn't really believe it, but a quick live chat last week and today an engineer installed a brand new one and took the old one away for nothing.  Least they could do considering the price you pay!!  So if you need a new dish and are with Sky just give them a shout and you will get a new one.

Although its a film really struggled with Mountainhead, wanted to like it but just couldnt

[Swiss.]

Yeah Dept. Q is good, Will check out Four Seasons as well. 

[Council Scum]

Really enjoyed The Four Seasons, Great cast and Tina Fey is a great writer 

[Swiss.]

Dope Thief like a lot of these series has just limped along after a good start.

Been retro watching stuff from my youth in the UK.

Binge watching Shine on Harvey Moon at the moment, another classic from the 80,s, in the last few months the whole catalogue has been added to YouTube

TBH has not dated and still a very VERY good watch, loads of familiar faces, Elizibeth Spriggs though as Nan is superb, Witzend productions also made Auf Wiedershen Pet, another 80,s classic, but Harvey Moon used to pull 18 million plus viewers when it aired, not too shabby by any measure!.

highly recommend both for anyone not old enough to remember

no idea if run by ITV but there's an ITV Retro channel on youtube and it's uploading episodes of The Prisoner. it's brilliant stuff if you haven't seen it

Loved Dept Q, even though it did tick a lot of the woke boxes. 

[honky cat]

Despite my hatred of Edinburgh and the fact that Mathhew Goode is a good actor I will give it a go on the sound advice of my WHO comrades. 

 

That's the spirit.
3 more episodes to go so will prob finish it tonight.
I'm a Big fan of Akram.

Dept Q is brilliant.

Good humour in it which always helps me enjoy something more.

[Swiss.]

I too am enjoying Dept Q.  I wasn't even aware it was set in Edinburgh but refusing to watch a show because of it's location is a bit odd..

Also enjoying Stick on Apple.  

It's just personal as I spent 4 months working there for a client in St Andrews Sq. I stayed at The Wavely Hotel near the station. The Scots hate us and I hate them. The boozers are naff and all it does it rain and the wind never stops. The architure is bleak and miserable.

The Alien Earth trailer has just dropped.
Meh!

[honky cat]

2 episodes in to Department Q. 
Starts off as the standard - cop moved to basement to work on cold cases with motley bunch, following fucked up operation - but its very dark and excellent so far.


 

Won't watch anything set in Edinburgh the overrated shithole that it is. 

 

Only glimpses of edinburgh so far, and our 'hero' is an Englishman. The actual set design and lighting of the whole piece is excellent, if anyone is interested in that sort of thing. Very gothic. It's a quality production.

Dope Thief is excellent.

I liked that series, Ray's still around. Now 86 years young

[Sydney_Iron]

From the mid 80,s but still a good watch and now on YouTube for anyone interested and/or remembers this.

That is a truly awful shout. Mobland, Peaky Blinders, Taboo, Legend.  He is superb in all of them. 

Hardy in Peaky Blinders is cringe worthy. He's Fagin character is so OTT that I expect him to burst into a chorus of "I Like to pick a pocket or two"'

Same with the Kray shit, just cartoon hardman acting, you want to see real menace, Paddy in Dean Mans Shoes. 

Dead Man's Shoes is a classic.

Thank fuck I'm not the only one.

Remember saying on here years ago, Hardy is a fucking appalling actor, I striluggle to watch anything with him in it. Saying that, there must be some talent in being able to play the same character in exactly the same way in every single role your in. Talent, or stamina.

Agree about Paddy Constantine, however he is shocking in Mobland, not a role for him.

[Council Scum]

Hardy is an awful actor, Paddy is a modern great.
