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?"

[Northern Sold]

Was like a cockney version of the Hurt Locker... bit OTT in places but fuck me was a proper tense hour watching it... more of the same next week superb Sunday night tense entertainment

[El Scorchio]

"Yeah that was a bit clumsy, but I suspect it was probably more to educate the audience a little bit as to 'how bombs can work' so they get it out of the way without having to explain it later. Pressure pads, second detonators etc. and it felt like the tutorial bit at the start of a video game. But it did make her look really amateur as a supposed explosives expert with military experience because you'd expect her to be well aware."

[Side of Ham]

"Yeah, we'll see Scorch but my first gripe was the fact it's called 'Trigger Point' and one of the first instincts one of the bomb experts had was to touch the most obvious Trigger Point....... a light switch.....that's like Sold asking for a full on pint in a pub!"

[El Scorchio]

"Side of Ham 2:33 That's my concern as well. How does an explosives expert solve a case when it's not their job? Maybe that's where the boyfriend comes in as the DI, but Vicky McClure is clearly the lead character. I'm thinking to keep her relevant probably a trail of bombs will occur where they work out through those who the perp is- they mentioned their time in the army so maybe (this is far fetched) they'll realise it's a person they encountered or someone with a specific vendetta against her and her partner. If they go off piste and she just does detective work then no thanks!"

Lee Trundle 1:30 Tue Jan 25 Still ploughing through Gomorrah series 1 at the mo... i'm sticking with it but have to admit i'm not rivetted... it's no band of Brothers that's for sure... will deffo' have a butchers at Yelllowstone when we finish Also thought Trigger point was excellent ...

[Side of Ham]

"I'm guessing it will turn into the investigation of who set the bombs, but I tend to dislike things when someone who is an expert in one field suddenly thinks better than those high up in another field like investigation.....like that forensic thing where they end up doing more of the detective work than the highly qualified Police team signed to the case......anyway lets see how it pans out.....it is by the writers of Line of duty......"

[El Scorchio]

"I'm quite intrigued as to where it's going to go, or how it will go. There was an unusually large amount of action and some fast pacing for a first episode."

[Side of Ham]

"It is Scorch, to the point where I will probably watch the second episode of Trigger Point........... :-)"

[Side of Ham]

"It is Scorch, to the point where I will probably watch the second episode of Trigger Point........... :-)"

[El Scorchio]

Side of Ham 1:23 Same! It's all subjective isn't it. I simply can't understand how some people enjoy certain things and I'm sure they'd say the same about me!

[Lee Trundle]

"Joe C 1:18 Tue Jan 25 Glad you're enjoying it. I think it gets better as it goes on. It hasn't become one of those series where you can tell they're dragging it on a bit to squeeze every $ out of it, like Lost, for example. I've just the last one to watch on the current season and then I'll be starting 1883 (the prequal to Yellowstone) which I'm told by my MATE is even better. I'm surprised Sold0 hasn't watched it yet. It'll be right up his street, I reckon."

[Side of Ham]

"Luckily Scorch, I'm not the one to always follow on opinions....... :-)"

[Joe C]

"Lee Trundle 4:48 Mon Jan 17 Just finished the second series of Yellowstone - up there with some of the best TV I've watched. Beth is utterly mental. Hard to get hold of in the UK, so I ended up downloading all four series of it off a torrent site - but, if you have Sky Q then Paramount+ will be added to it when it launches in the UK and it will all be on there"

[El Scorchio]

Ah well. I liked it.

[Side of Ham]

I thought Trigger Point was stereotypical shit that didn't have me on edge at all. An hour of bantz mixed in with some electrical wire......

Alfs 4:12 Tue Jan 25. I LOVE Ozarks too.

[El Scorchio]

"Hardly a box set yet, but I just watched the first ep of Trigger Point last night and thought it was excellent. High hopes for the rest of the series."

[El Scorchio]

"claypole 1:02 Not sure if already discussed, but Danny McBride's other comedies Eastbound and Down and Vice Principals are both fucking superb. For anyone who hasn't seen them, well worth it."

[Alfs]

"Strange how tastes differ so much. Just finished S4 of Ozark and can't wait for S5, which will be the last."

[Dan M]

"*James Gunn's partner, not wife."

[Dan M]

"Peacemaker is just superb. Colourful, violent, sweary, disgusting and funny. Just what you want from a grown-up superhero show. DC's dark and gritty stuff leaves me absolutely cold but James Gunn has breathed life into that world. Up there with The Boys. And as a bonus he very much likes showing his wife off to the world. 4 eps in now. Available on HBO Max or your preferred hookey telly supplier."

[Rossal]

"Dont get the hype with Ozark, watched the first 3 series and nothing happens in it........huge snoozfeest Thought Trigger Point last night on ITV was really good"

[ted fenton]

"For all you wusses out there ""This Is Us"" series 6 is back on Amazon prime."

[violator]

"Looking forward to the new Ozark, and thanks for the heads up on The Righteous Gemstones..cracking series"

[Swiss.]

"On a lighter note from the Gamoras and Ozarks, for comedy Schitt's Creek is quite fun. I think it's hard to follow the golden age of BB, SOA, Banshee, Dexter, The Soparanos etc."
