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?"

[honky cat]

Im halfway through Trespasses. 
if youre into the 70s, the troubles and sex - its right up your street. Probably won't be a happy ending but its an easy watch, 4 x 50 min episodes, and Gillian Anderson does a great turn.

Mrs V is watching Blue Lights, I must admit I only caught a bit of it, but are all the ones in charge women? I did ask her and if it was a BBC production, she told me to fuck off.

First couple episodes of Pluribus were very good. 

[Sydney_Iron]

Finished season 3 of blue lights. Loved it. 

Getting a bit bored with slow horses 

Blue Lights is maybe the best thing from the BBC right now, brilliant show, season 1 and 2 where superb and so far, season 3 (4 episodes in) is even better.

Hope we get a season 4..........

Like Slow Horses as well, and the first 2 seasons are excellent and the best IMO, but getting a bit stale now, still a good watch, just not as good as before.

Currently watching The Last Frontier on Apple TV.
It's alright is probably the best I can say about it, although I'm only 2 episodes in.

Pluribus, created by Vince Gilligan, is out today.

Good reviews, so far.

There just doesn't seem to be any talent like there was back then.  It's like the interviews with the Hollywood Stars, Cagney, Jimmy Stewart, Kirk Douglas, even now watching those interviews there was an air of mystique.  Maybe it's all this socal media etc, where you get to know about everyone and everything, and half of it is bullshit.  I suspect a lot of them were lost when the BBC used to over write tapes for space.

[Takashi Miike]

Yep, brillant, the guy was a genius.  Some of my favourite Parky interviews were with Michael Caine.  Very funny guy with a story or two to tell.

there's a very brief interview with Dick Emery, for me another brilliant performer. it's just a shame the full interview isn't avbailable, as he's so funny

Not really a TV Box Set but as I am laid up with man flu at the moment have been digging out what I can on whatever Michael Parkinson Interviews I can find.  On Iplayer there are several.  Peter Ustinov interviews are very funny and Hollywood Men is fascinating.  They really don't make film stars like that anymore.  Jimmy Stewart, Kirk Douglas, James Cagney, pity I can't find the full interviews anywhere.

zico, you must have seen this one? It's great

[Council Scum]

Finished Bodkin, around where the family is from and quite light hearted. 

[Swiss.]

There actually sweet FA out there atm. Chad Powers is quite fun. The Last Frontier I've already mentioned. 

[Massive Attack]

Not a Parkie one but this interview with Tom Waits that inspired Heath Ledgers Joker always fascinates me.

Check out the Parkinson - Orson Wells interview. Classic. 

[Pub Bigot]

I’ve been rewatching Rescue Me, the firefighter drama comedy set just after 9/11. It’s very funny, definitely made for blokes and arguably Denis Leary’s best work .

Watched Wayward, clearly written by a gay, but its ok. 

[Swiss.]

Been watching The Last Frontier. Pretty good so far. Same team behind The Blacklist.

[Swiss.]

Been watching Task, just the final episode to go. Loved it.

Watched 1st episode and though it was shite. 

[WHU(Exeter)]

Been watching Task, just the final episode to go. Loved it.

[Sydney_Iron]

Started season 3 of Blue Lights, thought seasons 1 and 2 where good but this is next level so far!

Say what you want about the BBC, yes, the news coverage is lefty and woke bollocks at times but fuck me they can still make an excellent and griping Police drama! 

Superb stuff this....

honky cat.

I saw love hate and yea, it was very good.  Only found out about Kin when a comedian mentioned it on a podcast, gald I did.

[honky cat]

Another party i was very late arriving at was 'Kin'.

Two excellent series,gutted there won't be a third.

New Tulsa King is out and the 2nd series of Landman is out next month

Also, terminal list is very good as well.

 

I live in ireland and couldnt get into 'Kin' at all when it was on tv here, and it wasnt overly popular. love/hate is another irish gang drama if you are interested and much better imo. Aiden Gillen is in both.
