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?"

[New Jersey]

"Can't find anything to float my boat at the moment. Gave Nine Perfect Strangers a go but wasn't for me, neither was The English. Started Season 2 of the Handmaid's tale but it seems a bit like season 1, cruelty heaped upon cruelty. Hanging on for Happy Valley 3, thought the first two were some of the best TV I've seen."

[Northern Sold]

Agreed Jim… thought it was magnificent… and a 100 times better than that joke fabricated series the BBC have done about the start of the SAS

I know its not a box set but the recent addition of All Quiet on the Western Front is really something. Wow what a harrowing but incredible film. You just cannot begin to understand how wars like that and WWII happened and how they were relatively not long ago. Its like something from a different universe these days. Effected me in the same way as Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers. I watched it with the English dubbing on and it was really good esp as i could focus on the action rather than reading subtitles. Dubbing appears to have come a long way from the days of Bruce Lee movies.

"Yes, the hotel manager is well off, I find the two hookers irritating too. The other characters ar fine. You wouldn't kick Aubrey Plaza out of bed!"

[Alfs]

"Agree with you, Manuel, re The White Lotus. Though it would have been difficult to surpass the performance of the gay Aussie drug/alcohol addict. Still enjoying season 2 though. Yellowstone 5 is no where near as good as the earlier seasons, but I'll stick with it."

[Swiss.]

I'm glad that Egg from This Life has made a good living from The Walking Dead.

[Manuel]

"Cheers, bell."

[bell]

"He was yeah. She never forgave him, but he saved her kids life, so she let him live."

[Manuel]

"Mortph - Yea shocking violence. Wasn't Negan in it to the end, if so how did he last so long, did Maggie forgive him etc? Bell?"

[Morpheus]

"Last straw for me with Walking Dead was Negan knocking out Glens eye with a baseball bat, gross and very unnecessary"

[bell]

"I felt an obligation out of stubbornness I guess. Had some decent moments in the final few series, but nowhere near as good as series 1-5"

[Manuel]

"Bell - Blimey, you stuck with it all the way! I gave up circa season 7 it just become plain shit. I will find the last ever episode though and might view it."

[bell]

"Final episode of The Walking Dead, in its current guise aired last night. Had its ups and downs, but I stuck with it, and enjoyed the finale."

[Manuel]

"Sam - No mate, heard them mentioned though, might read up on them. Will likely watch The Engish next."

[Son of Sam]

Agree Manuel 100% with all that but did you try Severance or The Devil's Hour?

[Manuel]

"Nags - Yea, as I have said a few times now I haven't seen anything really top draw for a long time now, probably the last season of Gomorrah, I thought The Offer was decent, as was Dahmer, and the new The White Lotus is a good yarn, although not as good as the first one."

[Nagel]

"Yeah, it's 6. Personally thought it trailed off a bit in the last 2 episodes but overall it was very good. Great acting and cinematography."

[Manuel]

Going to give The English a go. Is it 6 episodes?

[only1billybonds]

"jfk. Me too, I'm on episode 3, very good so far."

[only1billybonds]

"jfk. Me too, I'm on episode 3, very good so far."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

Five Days at Memorial is a really good miniseries worth watching. It's about the events at a New Orleans hospital during hurricane Katrina.

[jfk]

Getting right into The English (all episodes via the iplayer) great watch four episodes in.for fans of the Wild West it’s the bollocks.

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"Pentonville 3:56 Wed Nov 16 I watched the first episode of that and gave up on it. If he had stuck to, 'there were probably reasonably advanced civilisations around a bit earlier than we thought', then it would have been OK. But that wouldn't have been very controversial or exciting or easy to sell to a TV company or book publisher. So he's claiming these societies were VERY advanced, to the extent of being world-wide civilisations. So we get lots of the usual conspiracy theory arguments like, 'nobody can explain, so it must mean this', 'scientists have been unable to prove', 'archaeologists can't agree' - that sort of Chariot of the Gods stuff. He's a plausible little scamp, though."
