Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls

[HairySpotter]

"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?"

[collyrob]

Starter Say Nothing, on Disney +, brilliant so far.

[Alfs]

Certainly worth a watch, Swiss.

[Swiss.]

Has anyone watched Temple with Mark Strong. Can anyone recommend it ? 

[Council Scum]

I know I've mentioned this before but I've now got to the end of season 2 of Get Shorty and it is a cracking watch.

I've also been watching re-runs of Fraser on C4 and have laughed hard at the majority of them. 

Yes its a shame they stopped it in COvid, looked set for a season 4 and never happened.

Am update to date on "Before" its very good. 

[Swiss.]

Watched first episode of Dune Prophecy and I'm quite impressed. Strong cast (exccuse the pun) and good CGI. 

WolfHall 2 doesn't disappoint. Mark Rylance is probably one lof the world's greatest actors, 

Day of The Jackal just gets better.. 

[Manuel]

I think I will get onto that, Alfs.

Was reading that Danny Dyer is getting praise for his role in Rivals, shock horror, he can actually act in different roles. Good for him. I remember Hugh Grant was accused of the same thing until he proved them all wrong with different roles with the likes of A Very English Scandal and The Undoing.

3 Episodes in to "Before" with Billy Crystal, if you liked The Servant, you'll like this.

Managed to finish Rivals, yes it's shit and hugely cringe and pretentious, but if you don't take it too seriously then it's not a bad yarn overall. Looks like their will be another season too.

Cracking final episode of The Penguin.

Yes, sometimes a series loses its way with a poor unsatisfactory finale. The last two episodes were fantastic.  No happy ever after. Awards on the way.

Delving into characters over a series will result in dips.
Breaking bad/Better call Saul/sopranos all had the same dips.
that's whey its all worthwhile in the end.
The Mother in the Penguin for example.
It's all about telling the life story of Oswald Cobb and why he is what he is.

Yea all true, the mother was a bit irritating but understand the importance of the character and that she was his weak spot i.e he had someone he cared about and wanted to protect.

Really enjoying 'Paris has fallen' halfway through the series and it doesn't disappoint.

Landman begins on Paramount+ next weekend. Stars Billy Bob Thornton and is written and directed by the same bloke who did Yellowstone and it's various spin offs, will give it a go.

The penguin was a masterpiece. Really loved it. 

Cristin Milioti has a lovely set of tits

Cracking final episode of The Penguin.

I have a feeling that the  Victor kid survives 

HBO has not yet confirmed whether The Penguin will return for season 2, and the network likely will not share an official answer to the series' fate any time soon. For one, a new season of The Penguin would have to wait until after The Batman Part II arrives in 2026 since the sequel is already confirmed to continue Oz's story. In a post-finale interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Lauren LeFranc confirmed that the final shot of The Penguin, which shows the Bat Signal shining above Gotham, is meant "to launch into [The Batman director Matthew Reeve's] second film."

So for those who have a problem with English this is what I said : 

"'The Rivals. Absolute trashy Jilly Cooper rubbish.....loving it " I hardly think that's recommedation. It's called an observation. 

Really, I know in real life Moanwell is a deppresive, miserable, no sense of humour spaz but some of you ass licking him is embarrassing, 

[One Sunny Day]

Just watched the Beckham thing on Netflix. Pretty entertaining in a slick kind of way but nothing much we don't already know. Did fall about laughing though when the President of Real Madrid was offering Pope John Paul II, free match tickets when the guy (sorry, his holiness) was pretty much on his death bed. Much more meme worthy than Beckham calling out Victoria, from behind the door, for her dad taking her to school in a Rolls.

[John Coffey]

Decided to wait until The Penguin had finished and binge watch it. Watched episodes 1-4 last night and it’s excellent.

'That would suggest that the lead male character is a middle aged man who lusts after young girls who find him seedy and vile?'

You're overlooking Swiss's complete lack of self-awareness, mate.

[only1billybonds]

"The thing with him is that he sees himself in these type of roles, lol."

Watched three episodes of Rivals, thought it was shit.

Fucking awful innit, pretty much everything Swiss likes is fucking shit. The thing with him is that he sees himself in these type of roles, lol.

You really are a miserable cսnt aren't you Moanwell? ....haha

The Day if the Jackal is fucking excellent. The soundtrack is also very good. 

Milly/Cheval/Fromage/Leave etc the sad cսnt with 4 user names is a clueless cսnt.




 

It's an opinion 

​​​I grew up with the original film and the book.
This  pretentious shite  is all style over substance..is poorly cast with bland shit actors.

​​​​​​IS that alright with you   Christophe Kunz ? you ski bum fanny
