"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?"

"NS, you might not have seen but Dexter Fletcher (English actor from Lock Stock, the Press Gang kids programme in the 80's, etc) is one of the producers of The Offer. He was in Band of Brothers so has pulled in a few of his old mates to be part of this project. I spent a fair amount of time with Ron Livingston (Captain Lewis Nixon) from BoB this summer and we had a bit of a joke about how disappointed he was at not getting a call to be part of The Offer. He did say that the cast of BoB are all still really close and regularly meet up on anniversaries of the filming."

"Halfway through series 4 of Brassic, they must have a right fucking laugh filming that. Having Michelle Keegan around cant be a bad thing either."

5 episodes in no The Watcher and highly recommend. Intriguing to say the least. Not really a fan of series longer than a handful of episodes but this has got me hooked.

"Nurse - great stuff, I love The Wire. Many excellent characters, hard to pick a ‘best’ season as they are all really well done. Freamon is probably my favourite character."

"Nurse. You're not aline,I only discovered the Wire earlier this year. Outstanding stuff and yes,some of it is very funny without really meaning to be."

Nurse 3:40 Great choice one of the best programs ever made. Really gets going in season 3. Omar is one of the best characters in it.

"Yep, Hostel was below the belt, I still sometimes think about those films, it's not so much what you saw but the thought that something like that actually happening to someone. Have to agree with Nuts, it's it's too gory (or even violent) who the fuck wants to see it."

"yeah fair enough, if it's a good film I'm ok with gore, but films like Hostel are too much for me, I'm already well aware of what it's like to be tortured for 90 minutes."

"Mr.Anon, In a word, Yes! I didn’t get far enough into it to see any gory scenes, however if they were too graphic I would have probably switched off too. I switched off the latest Texas Chainsaw massacre movie for that reason….."

"Running fashionably late, as usual, I've finally started on The Wire. A few episodes into series 2. It's as well written and well acted and gritty/grim as everyone says, but I wasn't expecting it to be so funny in places. Delighted so far."

Nutsin 2:11 Sun Oct 16 Re: Tv Box sets thread again So you're watching a drama about a serial killer cannibal and what you can't get past is the gay part?

"Finally began Boardwalk Empire last night (i know,i know) and its excellent after 3 episodes. I'm with Manuel, for me,Narcos and Gomorrah set the bar at record heights when it comes to tv drama. Being a massive 'Godfather' nerd i enjoyed 'the offer' as much as anything else Iv'e seen lately. Watched The Wee Man on Prime on Friday and its well worth a look. True story of the life of a Glasgow gangster set in the 70/80's. Martin Compston plays the lead role however, ni subtitles available so some may struggle to understand the dialogue in parts."

"Never got into Dahmer at all, would have been better as a courtroom drama. Watched three episodes of Netfix's The Watcher last night. Quite compelling although a bit similar to an Amityville Horror type of thing, going to stick with it but it is a tad weird."

"Yea, this is the point I've been making on here for a while now, some seem to rave about something so i watch it and don't think it's all that, i don't see anything today at the levels of BB, Sopranos, Prison Break, Banshee, Boardwalk, Narcos, plus many others. The last great show I saw was Gomorrah, which is probably the best TV I've ever seen. I think it helps when it's a true story, so will see it out as only 10 eps."
