Gazred Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 The Boys on Amazon Prime. Done 3eps so far. Read the first volume of the comics some years back so thought I would check it out. Pretty faithful to the comic so far, it's good. Far from the usual superhero stuff so don't be put off if you are all Marvel'd out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a short series ( 4 episodes ) just watched the first and if the other 3 are as gripping and emotional, then I would highly recommend. Had me in pieces this make sure you watch the Oprah interview after the 4th episode, really hits home then what they went through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t really comprehend what they’ve been through. On the series, the first 3 episodes just made me angry, like WTF how has this happened! The last episode had me in bits, haven’t got that emotional over a TV programme in a long time. The acting from Jharrel Jerome is sensational.

Last episode is something else, interesting to hear after the other guys didn’t really know what he went through as you say certainly makes you angry... I’m not a crier as my missus will tell you but as I said previously, this series completely broke me.. guess in the main because it happened in my lifetime (I’m 31) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Island Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Luther is good for crime drama like a modern day Bergerac. Also if you like Breaking Bad try Malcolm in the Middle for a similar vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 A few off the top of my head, some may have already been mentioned. Dexter - By day, mild-mannered Dexter is a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police. But at night, he is a serial killer who only targets other murderers. Breaking Bad - A high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine in order to secure his family's future. Game of Thrones - Nine noble families fight for control over the mythical lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for thousands of years. The Wire - Set in Baltimore, this show centres around the city's inner-city drug scene seen through the eyes of drug dealers and law enforcement. Sopranos - The story revolves around Tony Soprano, a New Jersey-based Italian-American mobster, portraying the difficulties that he faces as he tries to balance his family life with his role as the leader of a criminal organisation. The Last Kingdom - As Alfred the Great defends his kingdom from Norse invaders, Uhtred - born a Saxon but raised by Vikings - seeks to claim his ancestral birthright. Vikings - Vikings transports us to the brutal and mysterious world of Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking warrior and farmer who yearns to explore - and raid - the distant shores across the ocean. Fargo - Various chronicles of deception, intrigue and murder in and around frozen Minnesota. Yet all of these tales mysteriously lead back one way or another to Fargo, North Dakota. Peaky Blinders -A gangster family epic set in 1919 Birmingham, England; centred on a gang who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps, and their fierce boss Tommy Shelby. Shooter - A conspiracy thriller that follows the journey of Bob Lee Swagger, a highly-decorated veteran who is coaxed back into action to prevent a plot to kill the President. Sons of Anarchy - A biker struggles to balance being a father and being involved in an outlaw motorcycle club//When Jackson "Jax" Teller discovers that his father had a different view in mind for SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original) he goes on a personal quest to cleanse the name and make the club a better place, but at what cost? Luther - DCI John Luther is a near-genius murder detective whose brilliant mind can't always save him from the dangerous violence of his passions Suits - On the run from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant college dropout, finds himself a job working with Harvey Specter, one of New York City's best lawyers. Person of Interest - An ex-assassin and a wealthy programmer save lives via a surveillance AI that sends them the identities of civilians involved in impending crimes. However, the details of the crimes--including the civilians' roles--are left a mystery. Lie to Me - About Cal Lightman, the world's leading deception expert who studies facial expressions and involuntary body language to expose the truth behind the lies. Black Mirror - An anthology series exploring a twisted, high-tech world where humanity's greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide. Guess the last few aren't really series where each episode follows on from the other but they're definitely worth watching, 'Shut Up and Dance' is a ******* great Black Mirror episode if you haven't seen it!

The Batman Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Without reading through all of the posts above, I love elementary. Cleverly written, funny and just an entertaining show which links back to previous episodes and series too. Last series is being shown at the moment. Sad to see it end. One thing that did p155 me off was when they started this series they tried to pretend sherlock and Watson were on London when they were obviously in America. No effort whatsoever but that's been my only criticism over the entire series of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Loved Brasic , just rewatched Kath and Kim and still find that very funny. Is it just me, or with so many series available Netflix/catch up etc you tend to start one and forget next time you go on there, and start another.

If you like The Wire, then you must watch Power on Netflix. I’d say Power is better. It’s like a gangsta Game of Thrones/The Wire type of show Also have to add Inside Number 9 as a great anthology. On iPlayer & Netflix. And Nightflyers. Not of critical claim as such, though I’d say it’s great. A deep, dark, space futuristic horror/thriller. The best show that many probably haven’t watched is The Leftovers. Possibly one of the best ever shows made and slowly now coming from under the radar. 3 seasons, maybe 30 episodes or so and with an actual ending.

Power is ok but it is nothing like The Wire. The Wire is gritty and realistic. Power is a love triangle with basically fantasy level criminality, it becomes unbelievable pretty quickly. It's fun but it's not in the same league as The Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can understand that people will prefer the Wire, though for me, it just simply wasn’t as good to watch. Power is more entertaining in my opinion and easier to watch in a sense. Me and the other half prefer the easier watch and generally flip between a couple shows at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 I’ve finished Brassic now. While over the top, it was very funny and bits of it reminded me of some of the people I grew up with and the ridiculous stuff they used to get up to. Great stuff.
