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 10:31 Sat Aug 27 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls Anyone seen The Split, with Nicola Walker? Any good? Loved it Manuel would definitely recommend it."

Nurse Ratched 4:27 Wed Aug 24 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I've now finished series 3 of True Detective. I thought it was the best one so far. We watched the first 3 episodes of series one last night and found it very good... Thanks for the heads up yet again on this thread.

She was never going to be anything near what you usually got down the Ritzy and I was never going to play the long game at the age I was.....so it was very much passing ships....so she basically had her head screwed on even then.

[New Jersey]

I bet Swiss has had her though!!

[Manuel]

"Well at least you gave it a go, Side. Finished Marriage, really good TV I thought, and while it was bleak and awkward in parts, they actually seemed to spend most of the time enjoying life and each other. Only thing is it didn't really go anywhere, build up to anything, but I suppose it wasn't meant to or it would then have just become like everything else on the box."

[Side of Ham]

"Yes Manuel she was had a cracking figure as well , but she came from a few bob and you always knew she had her sights set elsewhere…."

[ted fenton]

"We've just finished ""Angela Black"" on ITV Hub 6 episodes not brilliant but worth a watch. Couldn't find it on KODI so had to put up with the adverts."

[Manuel]

Side - Ritzy in Tottenham was one place i never got around going to. I bet she was a sort back then.

[Manuel]

"Watched the first episode of Marriage, really enjoyed it, but yes grim in places. Enjoyed the acting."

[Lee Trundle]

"5 minutes of sex right at the start of the first episode, and none for the rest of the episodes, ted?"

[ted fenton]

Manuel 4:21 Wed Aug 24 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls Gonna give Marriage a look. We could relate to it Manuel but fortunately there are only 4 episodes !!!!

[Side of Ham]

Nicola Walker used to go to the Ritzy in Tottenham.......

I've now finished series 3 of True Detective. I thought it was the best one so far.

"I really enjoyed the marriage, every drama doesn't have to be about murders in Oxford/Cambridge/Shetland Islands/ kidnappings, rapes etc, etc. I think if you're married with grown up kids you could relate to it, more than say, someone in their 20's. Maybe it was saying that there are absolute cunts in the world like the boss and the boyfriend but a strong marriage has seen them weather real tragedy and pull through. I also liked the way they portrayed that younger people and older people sometimes have problems communicating, the staff at the leisure club thought Sean Bean was weird but he maybe thought he was being friendly. Overall a thought provoking drama, back to 'reality' tonight with DCI Perez solving yet another murder in Shetland."

"The Resort is quite good. Vacation series like The White Lotus, but with a weird mystery."

[mallard]

"Watched ‘House of the Dragon’ despite a bit too much CGI, I was very impressed. Always loved Paddy Considine as an actor and thought he played his part well. Hopefully it will overshadow the piss poor writing of Game of Thrones Season 8!"

[El Scorchio]

"Finished it last night. I did quite like the 'Nothing happens' vibe. It's literally just snapshots of life and there's not really a payoff or a storyline/resolution for anything. Interesting way of doing television. On another note, anyone see House of the Dragon last night? Hopeful it can restore my faith in the Game of Thrones franchise after the debacle of how that went in the last two seasons."

"Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls ted fenton 11:37 We watched 30 mins of episode 1 and gave up. From the same writers as Mum (which was brilliant) and it's much the same, but without the funny bits. Shame really, as Nicola Walker and Sean Bean are both very good actors - the thing where he was in prison with Stephen Graham was probably one of the best things he's done (Time)"

[ted fenton]

Spot on ES

[El Scorchio]

"ted fenton 11:37 I keep expecting some sort of massive revelation to happen, like he's beating the shit out of her secretly or something. Thought it was leading up to that but I don't think so now. I think it's just going to be sort of mundane like a fly on the wall doc with nothing really happening in terms of an overall narrative. Sort of weirdly compelling though. They've really nailed down the cringe and banal small talk. I'm curious as to whether they are ad libbing most of it, because it feels like it."

Apple TV....Blackbird excellent /Slow Horses excellent. Sky...FROM very good. Netflix....13 Lives....superb.

[ted fenton]

"We watched 3 episodes of ""Marriage"" last night at times it was like watching paint dry ! ..Having said that the acting was very good so will persevere with it. WTF is all that chanting at the end of an episode ? Every time I look at Sean Bean I see him heading for paliament in protest against us !!! Cnut."
