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?"

No love for The Mist, Darabont's third King adaptation?

Fair point Mr anon, I totally forgot about Shawshank.

Yes,Carrie was good,remember going to see it at the Odeon next door to the Boleyn.

[Mr Anon]

Not seen Christine but enjoyed the book. The Stand another decent read was awful, should never have got further than the editing stage. The most successful adaptation  of an SK book was the Green Mile,hands down the best film version of anything he's written.

People go a bit overboard about Shawshank redemption being the best film ever made, but it's objectively miles ahead of Green Mile imo 

[Mr Anon]

Can't really watch anything IT related as the book was so good. I dont often compare books to tv/film adaptations but this was a special case, I'm a massive fan of the novel.

Nearly finished Mr Mercedes  I think it helps if you are familiar with Kings writing. Without such knowledge i can see whyvsome saw it as becoming a bit daft but pretty much par for the course for SK.

Will watch the final episode of 'The Abandons' later, really enjoyed it so far.

Misery ...stand by me and Salem's lot were the only successful films /TV series that stood up from the books.
The Stand the worst

Shawshank Redemption, Carrie, and and The Shining were all decent. I even liked Dr Sleep

[Takashi Miike]

I also loved the original film of The Dead Zone

watched first couple of Welcome to Derry, enjoyable if you like classic King (its a prequal to IT)

never knew it existed but season 2 has been given the go ahead

Will take a look 

Sounds right up my street. Will give it a go tonight. 

IT Welcome to Derry is a bit slow paced and full of boring shit but it's ramped up a bit now Pennywise is in full view.

Watched first episode of All Her Fault and I'm immediately hooked.

I can see why people might not like The Iris Affair but overall I thought it was really good. 

All Her Fault ended up being pretty shit with a lot totally irrelevant "filler" with nothing to do with the plot. 

However a new series of simply the best series ever is back.

Took a look at that crap Dr Who spin off of that Land and Sea bollocks. It's beyond a woke.

Mr Mercedes season 1, very good, started season 2 and without giving the spoiler away, if it doesn't change quickly, I'm done with it, as it's gone stupid. 

I binned s2 after one episode. It was dogshit.

really liked season 2, its no more silly that any other supernatural thing, but admittedly the change is jarring at first. It is King though so what did you expect, especially if you're familiar with the books

I've stuck with season 2.

Watching Pluribus, a mix of invasion of the body snatchers and Soylent green only not as good.

I've seen the first FREE episode ...enjoyed it.
I'm a tight cսnt so unlikely to watch the rest any time soon.

The Sean Combs Doc on netflix for me was eye - opening.
I had no idea this flid  was as big as he was over there.
To me he will always  be   the Viet -  Cong  cսnt  battered in  PLATOON .

[ragingbull]
