Nah, totally agree with Easty, the last series was definitely better than the last couple.Quote:

On episode 4 of peaky blinders. Bit good this.
To be fair, I'm no so sure its that far fetched. I don't think we know the half of what really goes on.Quote:

Pretty sure it's been cancelled nowQuote:

That's a shame, it was just starting to show real potential. From what I've seen so far I would imagine it's a big budget show for Netflix.Quote:

That's good, at least the story will be finished that way. Season 2 has been really good so far.Quote:

Re-watching The Shield. Still great.
Tremendous show. I know Vic was the main man but, Dutch is a great character.Quote:

New series of Suits, Power and Shooter keep me going through the week.
Just binge wanted series 2 of Last Chance U yesterday on my day off as well. Not as good as series one and because it's real life I found it fascinating.
Johnson from Peep Show as the new messiah was all I needed to know.Quote:

Just watched the final ever ep of Ripper Street, another show the beeb can be proud of.
Glad its got a good ending, I'm only 2 episodes into last series and really struggling with it. Think it lost his way after the polisman left to live in Brighton i think.Quote:

Stewart Lee : Carpet Remnant World, very clever and funny and some of it went over my head, thats probably the idea though.
Just finished it tonight. I can't believe they're not extending it to another series. I think they spent too long in series 1 on introducing all 8 characters, and that maybe cost the show some viewers.Quote:

Has anyone been watching orphan black? I always prefer to wait until the series finishes so I can binge watch. It's weird, but good imo.
Aye, I flagged it up towards the start of the thread. Tatiana Maslany is very good.Quote:

Anybody else watched Outlander? Wasnae sure it would be my cup of tea but, halfway through the first series and thoroughly enjoying it so far. The scene where Cpt Randall describes giving the 100 lashes to Jamie is one of the most powerful bits of tv i've witnessed in a while, moving stuff.
If you think that was powerful...wait til you see what's coming.Quote:

As a side last night GOT episodes was up there with one of the best yet, and it didnt include a massive battle scene liek the other 'best episodes' have.
About 30% of my business is Outlander related now. As one US lass put it to me "never has red haired Scotsmen been so popular "Quote:

I finished Black Sails earlier this year and have never been so gutted about a programme ending. On the plus side of it not being dragged out, I don't think the quality ever dipped.Quote:

Best thing I've watched for a long time
That episode of GOT!!!!!
Just finished it and I was left absolutely speechless - incredible :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:Quote:

Do you know anywhere to find the first series? It looks good but I hate starting things part the way through, even if it's a new case.Quote:

With 6 episodes in the next series I'd expect each one to be well over an hour, hopefully like a 90 min film every weekQuote:

Wait until you get to the final series mate. The last two or three episodes are the best thing I've ever witnessed on tv. Stunning.Quote:

The new season of Twin Peaks is the best tv I have seen!! no hyperbole, it's just ticking all the boxes of what I like to see on tv, surreal, funny and dark, how they managed to get episode 8 on tv is incredible.
As I said I prefer things that are fully done, so the latest thing I watched was Lost which I finished the other night. Loved it, even just the way your opinions of certain characters can change drastically throughout the series was good. And how they were in no rush to answer all the mysteries, left you confused for ages but very well done.
Wouldn't put it as one of my favourite programmes but still very enjoyable none the less.
Next up is The Wire.
I just started it last night not sure what to make of it yet!Quote:

anyone on here watch Parks and Rec?
Its on amazon if anyone wants to have a look, its s a kind of subtle light hearted comedy. I'm on my second watch through and finding it even better the second time.
Ron Swanson is just brilliant. :aok:Quote:
