Everyone's bumming it at the minute, but just seems like a third-rate Boardwalk Empire to me. Does it get better after series one? I love Peaky Blinders. Second is better than first. Third is below those two. Returns to form in fourth. That's just my opinion of course. Haven't seen, or heard of Boardwalk Empire, so can't comment or compare.

Bbc still do some good stuff. Line of Duty is ace. Luther was good, at least the earlier ones. Started McMafia. Could turn out good but not sure yet after 2 epidodes.

Parsnip Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Peaky Blinders is so good. The imagery of industrial Birmingham is awesome. Simple plot lines, nothing too clever - loads of action - very cool. You can watch it drunk and you won't miss any intricate bits because there aren't any - just good fun. And Tom Hardy is sexy as ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Not sure if its been mentioned already, surly it has, but Black Mirror struggles for a rival on tv at the minute. Its incredible. Total head f*ck mind but hands down brilliance most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 @Dr. Gonzo easily the cleverest collective of television around. It annoys me that I cannot get people at work to watch it just so I can talk about it. S4 is out now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Shelby as an anti-hero doesn't, or hasn't yet, quite grabbed me like Walter White, Tony Soprano, even Don Draper. He only seems to have one side to him - i.e. unlikeable psycho who never smiles. There's been no reason for me to root for him so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much other stuff you could be enjoying. Of those others, Tony Soprano is the only one I'm familiar with. I enjoyed the first two series of that, but lost interest very quickly after that.

I've slowly been working thru Sopranos over the last couple of years depending when it's on Now TV. I appreciate what it did at the time but don't think it's dated very well, unlike Twin Peaks and Six Feet Under say, which both are still incredible.

I think that might be one of the greatest bits of tv or film ever made. S4 was still really good but nothing quite as mind blowing as that episode. Thought there was perhaps a little too much similarity across the series as opposed to new concepts. I liked the name check of 'Stanhope Road'. Didn't make up for the lack of Screenwipe, but a nice little nod towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Anyone watching The Orville? Saw the first 2 episodes last night but can't work out if it's supposed to be an homage to Star Trek or a spoof. Not sure whether to bother with it, as I also find Seth McFarlane a bit annoying.

TigerTedd Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Just finished bingeing the first series of stranger things. It’s a rare programme where I know next to nothing about it, other than I’ve heard it’s good. it was great, my wife even liked it. More than a touch of ET / Super 8. I guess it’s supposed to riff off lots of that 80s stuff though. Then went straight into series 2, and that was brilliant too. Onto Punisher now. Of the Marvel Netflix series, that’s proving to be one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad I watched it. I think it's a quality bit of television. I recommend to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
