Netflix.
Good entertainment but it is an extreme struggle to avoid the Pro Americanism of it grinding.
As always the usual characters are made to look the bad guys within minutes and america the saviours. I knew Iran would be brought up within minutes of watching.
I haven't watched them all yet mind.

Really enjoyed it. Not the greatest thing I've ever watched but some real laugh out loud moments, great characters and sharp writing make it well worth a look.
Oh, and if you like fine looking young women with their titties on show then it's got that as well.
My friend has been going on about this for years. Saying that he uses tactics in it on nights out.
I watched a few of them. The main guy was sitting in bar and he got turned down by a girl. In his pit of despair, he looks up and browses the room, to see a 10/10 girl licking her lips at him. Naturally.
I am sorry but I can't take it seriously. Either that or I am just bitter.

I don't think it's factual.
My first impressions weren't great - I thought it would be just another cheesy American show where everyone has perfect teeth. However once you get into it, you realise it's basically mocking that 'American dream' bullshit and doesn't take itself seriously in any way.
P.s that stuff happens to me all the time. Maybe you're just an ugly git?

Love his agent and agents wife in this, brilliant double act.

That might have something to do with it :sherlock:
I'll probably give it another go. Each episode is short and I didn't give it much of a chance.

Charlie Runkle is one the greatest characters to ever grace the small screen.
Him and Marcy are the real stars of the show.

Re: TV series recommendations
Just binged on season one and two of Narcos. Brilliant. It's crazy how you're still rooting for Escobar right up to the end even after all the horrific shit he's done and when you already know the outcome.

Re: TV series recommendations
Wagner Moura was the dogs bollocks in Narcos and will be a big miss when Narcos 3 arrives on our screens later this year. Best thing I have watched in ages.

Re: TV series recommendations
Currently watching "Taboo" with Tom Hardy.
Episode 5 is tomorrow night on BBC1 but the first 4 episodes are available on iplayer.
Well worth a watch.

Re: TV series recommendations
Watched 7 episodes of Narcos today. Me and Mrs watched 4 episodes of Stranger Things last night and will watch a shed full tonight. Brilliant recommendations fellas.

It's not going to be the same watching the Cali Cartel. I already want them to fail.

Re: TV series recommendations
A lot of good recommendations but the best thing I've seen in a while is Vikings

Re: TV series recommendations
Has anyone else watched The OA on Netflix?

Got bored after the first 3 episodes but as it was only 8 I was determined to finish it and get some answers to what it was about.
Nope , nothing.

Re: TV series recommendations

I also wasted my time on this, apparently these days in movies and TV it's too much to ask for a fvcking ending or any form of explanation or closure. I blame 'Lost' for this new brand of show where the writers just splurge out a load of nonsense with no ending in mind just to see if the show will get a 2nd or 3rd season.

Re: TV series recommendations
Has anyone seen Sneaky Pete? great series, we have one left to watch tonight, it's been renewed for a 2nd season.

Re: TV series recommendations
Frequency. Really good series similar to the film trying to catch the nightingale killer.
Her dad is a copper and gets killed and many years later she is a copper and brings out her dad's old radio ham set and starts talking to her dad from the past before he is killed.
History changes and instead of her dad dying her mum is murdered. Brilliant series. Series 2 out next year

Glad to see it wasn't just me then.

:hehe: Well we liked it, you also missed the point that Steve has made it through a series, you don't understand what an achievement that is.

So are you taking it or leaving it Mrs SR? This messageboard demands an answer
