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?"

[Jim79]

Swiss, yes mate. It's very well done. Bit difficult to watch as a middle aged male and not feel a bit uncomfortable as its about teenagers (played by actors in their twenties) acting in the worst possible way that teenagers can but its a brilliantly shot show. The third season is due out soon but there's some amazing acting in it, especially by Zendaya and a couple of others.

[Swiss.]

Anyone here ever watch the series Euphoria? 

[Swiss.]

I just started Memory of a Killer . Pretty good hit man series. 

[Jim79]

Obviously some of the Eric mannerisms are accentuated but yeah there are characters like him, he's certainly not uncommon. The one they really nailed is Rishi's character, he is bang on the money as a trader and I've met and even been him in certain parts of my career in the way he acts. They turn him into a bit of a caricature through season 3 and 4 but he has a great story line that provides one of the best episodes of season 3 but then gets a bit silly.

Kit Harrington's character comes into it in season 3 and 4 and he plays an entitled toff brilliantly, very hard to remember he was the King in the North in Game of Thrones.

Devil In Disguise, the story about John Wayne Gacy is pretty good so far

[Manuel]

Fair enough mate in that case you like the bits that I do. It gets a bit more succession like in that it becomes more about Merges & Acquisitions, corporate strategy and double crossing so is more akin to Succession in that way across seasons 3 & 4.

OK mate. Some interesting characters in it, are there some people like Eric in the real world? That game is not for the faint hearted.

Hey Manuel, im glad you stuck with Industry as I'd recommended it highly. I personally really enjoyed seasons 1 & 2 but then I work in the industry so I liked how accurate they got some of the finer points of trading floor life albeit most of the trades were completely impossible but you have to suspend reality in the name of entertainment so I haven't really got a problem with that.

Season 3 & 4 are much more written with drama and television in mind so I'd guess you'll probably start to enjoy it a bit more from there on. I still think it's probably the best thing on TV at the moment and definitely rivals Succession as a sort of English version. Stick with it mate.

Jim, I will stick with it mate, as I said it's not much to catch up on. At this point it's not going to turn into anything great to make me completely change my mind on it, but like I said it's good enough. You actually have it the wrong way around, I prefer the scenes on the trading floor as opposed to the drama and tv, as you put it.

Not sure I'd compare it to Succession, to be fair.

Enjoyed STEAL on Amazon prime. 

Going to start that Australian gangland show, animal kingdom. All 6 seasons were released on Netflix today.

Mr Inbetween.



 

Good series. 

Yeah, I was surprised.

Expected a sort of 2nd rate chopper parody but it balanced dark humour with some deep moments.

Best thing to come of Oz since Kylie rode a mechanical bull in her undies.

watched quite a bit of Goliath. as with most of these shows, it started well but i thought the direction started getting very self indulgent as it went on. biggest positives apart from BBT (who's always watchable), the blonde bird playing his lawyer colleague and the dark haired bird with the tits

[Hammer I am]

started watching For All Mankind, enjoying at moment, apart from all the soap opera bollocks but that's what the fast forward button is for 

[Manuel]

I've started on Industry Se01 and its OK. Thing is I know it gets a lot better so I'm persevering with some fast forward.

I'm on season 2 and still not convinced but it's 'good enough' to stick with and will likely get up to date as not to much to catch up on.

You fast forward and miss some things?

The Night Manager, episode 6,
MASSIVE disappointment, imho.

It was a bit 'silly' but I still enjoyed it. Third and final series next year apparently.

[Swiss.]

Episode 6 went out last night. It’s the final episode!

Sorry yeah was 6 I watched and the last. 

It was great until the very end which was merely an excuse to set up a third series and, as long as the poeple who appear to be dead really are dead I'lll be cool with that. 
More akin to Jerry Westerby blundering about in Asia in the Honourable Schoolboy than the other Le Carre novels.
Hugh Laurie was moustache twiirlingly dastardly. He is extremely good at that.  .

Yeah in the end I felt I was being conned.

Watched The Night manager episode 5 last night. Bloody hell that was as good as any from both seasons. 

Surely has to be a third season now.
