I quite enjoyed it. It was probably the first box set I watched so I may be seeing it through rose tinted glasses.

1 ep left to watch thankfully! 🤨

I'm loving Julia's hair, struggling apart from that!

Well maybe Christine has a couple of things going for her! 🤔

Is it her eyes and inquisitive personality?

Dallas

Brilliant choice! A lot of folk wouldn't admit it of course. I'm still pondering mine as it's tricky selecting from so many genres but Dallas would be in there.

I think it is tricky. I am surprised no one has mentioned Doctor Who, as for some of us it will have been something we had throughout childhood and then returned in adulthood. I guess it is such an institution that it doesn't feel like a series as such, more so something that is just there. Nevertheless I can think of several episodes that count for best TV I have seen, albeit they are written in a manner that is child-friendlyish.

[The_Exile]

1. Firefly
2. Red Dwarf
3. The Big Bang Theory
4. Breaking Bad
5. The Walking Dead
6. Only Fools and Horses
7. Goodnight Sweetheart
8. Stargate Universe
9. Star Trek: Voyager
10. X files

I had Dr Who on my list for that very reason, I also had Grange Hill and the Tomorrow People but decided against them because they're not really "Zeitgemäß".

Is that like 'zeitgeist'? I take your point about what might not feel so relevant now. When I think about series that stick in the mind from younger years then "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" and the original "Battlestar Galactica" resonate.

I've never got round to watching band of brothers, read about it being great many times and the amount of folk putting it in their too 10 made me start tonight. 3 episodes in and in hooked!

"Zeitgemäß" translates as contemporary in the dictionary but that doesn't feel right. It's more like "right for it's time" if you get what I mean.

Loved Buck Rogers. Pre viewing duties included a trip to the chippy in the Calders for sausage suppers and a mixture of Globe red and dark Cola, a tradition carried on from the days of "The six million dollar man" and "Monty Python's Flying Circus" before that. Happy days. "Happy Days", there's another one.

When you say the Calders do you mean the scheme? I grew up there until about nine

Thanks for the explanation of the word, German seems to take a whole different approach to Latin and Slavic based languages and has some very descriptive and literative terms.

Buck Rogers was great and Wilma Deering was maybe my first crush

You have got some great episodes still to go. Damian Lewis is a very good actor. For me, his best moment was hosting Have I Got News For You. Ian Hislop and Paul Merton were ribbing him for being Etonian and a posh actor-luvvie and challenged him to convey a look or phrase or whatever. He took a second and then did it in a way that you knew only a really good actor could.

Enjoy the rest of the series.

[Craig_HFC]

No particular order.

Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
The Sopranos
The Wire
The West Wing
The Thick of It
The Simpsons (up to series 10)
Line of Duty

[Mr Grieves]

**** knows if I can list 10, never mind in any particular order -
Succession

Ozark

[Since90+2]

Not sure about a top 10 but The Sopranos is undoubtedly numbrr 1 for me.

Top Boy , Line of Duty and Ozark also tremendous.

Never got the hype with Breaking Bad and never seen The Wire.

I know mate, sure I've seen you say about it before.
A couple of times I went to start to it but never got past 'ross' as the CO before losing interest (I'll admit I had a few drinks and was late when id tried to watch before). Eventually powered through the first episode and that was that. Think I still have 3 or 4 to fonwhixh will be finished tonight. It's very good.

Agreed. Damian Lewis is fantastic in it, I'm not a huge war movie fan (at least from the mericans point if view) but this really is different class.

I would suggest you watch it with subtitles on, the accents can be difficult to catch. Fantastic series though.
