"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?"

[Alfs]

Collyrob - Did you stick with Dope Thief? I'm up to ep 7 now, after a good start I thought it fizzled out a bit.

I see you finished it.  Is it worth sticking with, I'm 3 eps in?

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

Lol, I did something similar to that once.

Dope Thief is a decent watch. Might start Day of the Jackal, seems to have mixed reviews but I loved the film so will give it a try, I see it's been renewed.

The Jackal is excellent. The first 2 episodes are probably the worse so stick with it as it builds up. Cracking soundtrack as well. 8/10 on IMDB. Should have won over Shogun as best TV series at Golden Globes.

However it's totally unrealist that a ginger can get a babe as hot as Ursula Corbero  

I would like add that Shogun was also very good albeit a bit slow at times.

Due to extreme pressure from my youngest Son, I started 'the last of us' last night. Got halfway through an episode and couldn't understand the storyline at all until I discovered that I was watching episode 1 of series 2. No need to call me a fucking idiot as my boy hasn't stopped since I told him.
Started again and I'll stick with it for now.
Will start mo land and will give dopethief a look over next couple of days.

Got around to watching Adolescents after initially giving it a swerve!

Thought it was very well made and acted, had read about people crying at the end or being moved so much it changed there lives but i think that's just the buzz word and reaction from the "in crowd", so was disappointed with the ending, if you could call it that? and NO it made fuck all difference.

4 episodes was just about enough, but i wouldn't say it's a classic, worth a watch but not on my favorites list

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.

The PARAS 1982 
When Englishmen were nails and  took no shit 

[Manuel]

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.

[Gank]

I was tempted to watch it on recommendations here but if that's true I don't think I'll bother

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. 

[Manuel]

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.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

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

[Manuel]

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 .
I grew up in the 70s..we're indestructible.
it was tough growing up....but I wouldn't change a thing .looking back....tough upbringing  is how  we survive...?
 As a  7 yr old being subjected to wing nut collars/goulash/ Rugger./mental barnets/ 

  queuing for my pink free  dinner ticket for all see   ...(now that WAS child abuse)
 the 'CANE' 
 Our parents were absolute lunatics who drove about in Austin Maxis ffs

I reckon we are the ultimate survivors .

If Stephen Graham was really a Jamaican Scouser, he would sound like John Barnes.

yep.
digger Barnes  they called him in his  hey day.
Then the real Jamaican came to town
