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?"

[Swiss.]

The Night Manager 1 is some of the best TV I've seen, so was very much looking forward to series 2 but so far it's not done it to me. For a start the 'baddies' are just not convincing, where in series 1 the worst man in the world Roper and his cronies were brilliant, also in this one Pine has got an 'in' way too easily. Hopefully it will get better but not holding my breath. Shame.

Agree with all that Manny.
The second series is all a little too 'convenient' for my liking. I'll stick with it though.
Have read somewhere that a third series is likely, so like many other series I suspect we'll end up with the law of diminishing returns. Hopefully not.

Series 3 has been confirmed.

I would also agree with that so far but only 2 episodes in. I think Roper makes an appearance soon . 

[Takashi Miike]

Trailer Park Boys is my favourite tv series of all time it's ridiculously funny
WWE Unreal is very good if you're into that sort of thing...which I'm definitely not....I don't watch wrestling...honest 

I agree, the episode when Bubbles has crabs is hilarious. So many brilliant characters

I can't be bothered with the Night Manager. I can't take the midget seriously, for a start. It reminds me of the Monty Python sketch with Carol Cleveland acting in a trench while Michael Palin stands on a box. 
 

I binged through season 1 the last two nights to catch up, entertaining and enjoyable. I know its not a documentary but its a bit unbelievable . . .

​​​​​​Who is the midget. The only obvious one is corky the nudger, but i doubt he'll pop up in season 2.

[fraser]

really enjoyed sam elliott in Landman, most of his scenes with BBT are gold

I like it and yes he's brilliant as are most of the characters but not a lot happening in this series a very slow burner, yet still enjoyable.

It reminds me of the Monty Python sketch with Carol Cleveland acting in a trench while Michael Palin stands on a box. Also, having had the misfortune to see and hear Hugh Laurie in half the first episode of House, I can no longer watch him either.

I haven't had the strength to watch the final season of Stranger Things, but I'm reliably informed the penultimate episode, 'Will takes 20 minutes to  reveal his secret power of Arse-Banditry' will appeal to the site gayers and identity politics loons.

[Swiss.]

I've been recommended Absentia. Any good? 

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

Talking of good first seasons followed by disappointment, anyone seen 4th season of The Sinner? First 1 was fantastic but 2 and 3 were not good, 4 seems to have got better reviews though

Sinner S4 is a massive return to form. S2 is a bit meh and S3 is a load of old gay shit.

[Swiss.]

Started Night Manager 2 and it's already looking a class production.

Agreed Swiss, although will take some doing to match the first series.
Didn't watch the first series when it originally aired, but binged all 6 episodes in a day over the Christmas break. Fantastic TV.
Amazed however that you haven't mentioned Camila Morrone.

Camila Morrone is definitely on the Swiss List and might even Eiza Gonzalez as my favourite latina.

Stranger Things new season is pretty good. Action packed from the start. 

I had the displeasure of having to sit through this, (and the season before, actually enjoyed the first one)

A steaming pile of shit it was scene after scene of the same filler

START:  Everyone in a room arguing over the next problem they have to solve, and while they're arguing one of the group will go quiet (camera pans in) "hey I've got a plan", (Everyone still loudly talking) "I'VE GOT IT" (every spins round),   "Imagine this saucepan is an electro field and this pepperpot is the bad guy)..... Everyone agrees its crazy but just might work, cut to overblown action scene where it almost works but not quite, -return to START and repeat.- 

Honestly it was like this over and over - SHIT!

But...80s!

I gave up midway through season 3 i think.

I agree. after starting well the last two episodes were shite. Just recycled the same thing..again and again. And oh Seven will come to our rescue again and again.

IMDB was saying 10 episodes but there was only 9 Still no nearer understanding what it’s all about! Must be more to it 

[Chip Shop Charlie]

Has the final episode of Pluribus dropped yet? I thought it was Friday but I can’t find it! 

Not that I know WTF it’s all meant to be about! 

It was on TPB yesterday

Finished Pluribus today, think iit is the TV  show of the year, it was excellent, Gilligan has nailed it it in terms of making it funny as well as tense 

[Council Scum]

Finished season 4 of Godfather of Harlem, fantastic TV. Up there with Boardwalk Empire
