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?"
Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
"Snowfall is similar to the Wire mainly in that they're both about drug dealers. It's not as good but still pretty decent and worth watching. It's about how the crack epidemic in early 80s LA started and pretty much blames it on the CIA, which is debatable. Decent acting, including the lead actor, who's actually from Peckham."

"I thought White Lines was dreadful. Terrible acting and direction so gave it up. Currently watching 13 Reason Why. on Netflix, quite good. Enjoyed Space Force, very funny."

Anyone seen Snowfall? https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b0991bqd/snowfall The BBC are describing it as similar to The Wire.

"Hermit, it still hasn't been given a UK release date yet for some reason but it will be shown on Sky Atlantic/Now TV when it does."

Can you watch zero zero zero on any normal telly things yet? I’m years behind on the downloading so can’t watch it that way.

Ive got Zero Zero Zero in the favourites to watch. Seen a lot of Narcos stuff lately so I was getting a bit of Cartel overload! Couldn’t face any more for a while!

Watching ‘Defending Jacob’ at the moment bit of a slow burner but gripping none the less! One of Apple TV’s new shows!

"In the US tv programmes are called seasons, therefore it's 'season' Series is for UK programmes, it aint hard to grasp. No doubt some on here refer to the NY subway as the NY underground. As for Fargo 1 and 2 are superb, I've held back on 3 but will get around to it."
Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
"Why did you correct yourself about ""season two""? I know it's an American phrase but it's better than using the same word to describe both the thing itself and a section of it. People here should either use season, especially if it's an American show, or come up with some alternative."

"one thing that's impressive about season two is the soundtrack, hawley (the series creator) hired a music supervisor called marguerite phillips and her work really elevates the episodes"

Thanks Miike - Thought Thornton was brilliant and Freeman was pretty good once I'd got used to him speaking in an American accent!

"two is also very good, three is the poorest of the three but still worth watching. BBT's performance makes series one the best though"

"This theory I see banded around that if you like series X you will like series Z because it's of a similar theme, is in reality just hogwash."
Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls

Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
