"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?"

"I'm watching the third series of The Handmaid's Tale. I put off watching it for ages, because I love the book and assumed they would butcher it, but actually they've made a reasonable fist of it. It's not bad. I like the fact that the contemporary setting and tech makes it even more relatable and they've resisted what must have been a strong temptation to ladle on anti right wing politics (Attwood can spin a good yarn at times, but she's a bit of a tit). Absolutely loving the back stories/flashbacks (except the mawkish ones of June singing to or gazing with adoration at her kid) It's far from perfect. In the space of about 2 years worth of the story Offred has gone from being extremely frightened of putting the merest toe out of line to physically attacking one of the commanders to openly defying her second commander and interfering in his relationship with his wife. And there have been no consequences. It's a stretch, to say the least. It doesn't make sense when compared to the source material or even its own first series. Also Elizabeth Moss leaves me cold at the best of times, but I have seen more than enough close-ups of her face where its flesh is lumbering around in all sorts of contortions and undulations presumably representing some inner mental turmoil. I struggle to decode facial expressions and to me it just looks like fleshy lava gyrating (you've no idea how silly you all look) Would be nice to have some narration at this point for the bewildered Spergs. There are some terrific actors in this. Notably the woman who plays her best friend (she was the only thing worth watching Orange is the New Black for) and Emily, the rebellious lesbian Handmaid with the STUNNING blue eyes. Best performance has to be the woman who plays Serena Joy (an absolute master class)"

Big Timber on Netflix. Normally these fly on the wall documentaries are contrived rubbish but on this one the owner of the logging company is off his head he is eccentric to the core

"The only issue I have with subtitles, which I'm currently finding with LUPIN, is that I find it difficult to tuck into my dinner whilst trying to read them."

Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
Two more complaints: 1) why is everything so dark? Often I can't make out what's going on in a scene. 2) that modern film-making trope of having a character who is using a torch shine it DIRECTLY into the camera lens. Absolutely infuriates me even time.
Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
I'm the same these days. Got so used to it now that if I can't get subtitles for something then I probably won't bother watching.

"I much prefer subtitles, so thanks for that tip, Nagel. I didn't know that. These days I have to put the subtitles on modern English-speaking series and films. I'm not sure why that is. I think it is either poor sound mixing/music too loud or modern actors mumbling their lines. When I watch programmes and films from the 90s and older, I don't need subtitles. I think a lot of it is the actors. I watched a series of Line of Duty with Thandie Newton. I could fully understand every syllable she uttered, but the rest of the cast were mumbly buggers."

"ray winstone 12:09 Wed Jul 7 Subtitles are available for it as well. They've just made what is apparently an awful dub the default setting. They do that for quite a lot of shows on Netflix now, at least ones that they produce themselves."

"Undercover on Netflix is worth a watch, Belgian /Dutch production but they've dubbed the speech rather than have subtitles."

"Just half way through season 6 of Spiral, getting a bit weary now but still enjoyable, but they seem to be getting more incompetent, fucking up every raid, stakeout that they do! From comments below going to give Bosch a go."
