"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?"

Daredevil was a massive disapointment. Bascially nothing much happened over 9 episodes. I was actually waiting for episode 10 then realised it had finished.

Finished American Primeval and thought it was excellent, real gritty with the depiction of the frontier in Utah in 1857 and great cinematography, fuck those Mormon radicals and militia where a bunch of cunts! The series is loosely based on real events, pity its only 6 episodes.
highly recommended.

Yeah what a great scene that was. Great unique entertainment as apposed to Tom (I'm such a hammy hard man) Hardy telling everyone he's gonna break their bones etc etc.
Did you like Tom Hardy in Legend?
He's good in Warrior. Believable Yank accent as well.
Had never heard of that, got good reviews.

Not seen it. I've had enough of the Kray twins films.
I'm not saying I dislike Mobland I very much enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Maybe it's wrong to compare with GoL which has had 3 seasons. Directors with diffrent styles. Yes GoL is less believable but more entertaining. We still have to see where Mobland goes.

Sorry but did I just read that Gangs of London is better than Mobland??? you mean Gangs of London who in the last season had a whole episode where a pregnant bird fought off assassins and then gave birth mid fight and strangled an assailant with the umbilical chord of her just born child while it was still attached to her!!!

Manuel/Anon, don't bother if you are selective in what you watch. Im relatively happy to watch stuff that maybe isnt on the surface that great as sometimes a show can surprise you but Gangs of London is truly awful now. The first season was maybe ok and it is hugely action packed and stylishly shot but the characters is shit and the story line is pathetic, all style no substance.

I don't need to watch it, anything titled Gangs of London is nailed on to be shit. Why do people watch shit like this.

Watching American Primeval on Netflix, very well made and acted but the storyline is a bit grim and brutal, but captivating at the same time, based on true events from 1857.

The only thing that offended me about Adolescence was how fucking boring it was. I mean, impactful subject matter but awfully done. IMO.
Also, where can I watch Mobland?
Paramount.+... doing a 7 day free trial ..lords knows why.
I haven't watched a second of it but can likely nail the general theme and lazy characters.
I quite enjoyed the film Mobland with the disco king ..one of those you werent expecting ...bit like blue ruin

Just finished This City is Ours on I-Player.....Personally I think it's the best drama I have seen for a very long time.Yes the Scouse accent is a bit annoying but it's a great watch with plenty of twists.
I will get onto this, most stuff with Sean Bean is good and this looks good. Agree about the Scouse accent (and their slang) was the same in The Responder with Martin Freeman.

For once the woke BBC has actually produced a 9/10 drama.

That's about it, Shorty.
I remember being stunned when watching The Sweeney in the 70s that some weeks the baddies got away. I don't think you'd ever see that happening nowadays.
Haha .

Watched the first episode of Mobland last night. It looks like Tom Hardy is saying, how the hell do I get out of this load of old cսnt. Cant see the makers of Gangs of London doing anything but laughing.
The only films I've rated Hardy is in THE REVENANT and THE DROP .
all about opinions of course

It's incredible how much money Amazon spent on LOTR only to produce something that looks like it was made by the Si-Fi channel. It looked as cheap as The Shanara Chronicles. At least that had Ivana Baquero in it...grrrrr
