Decent TV series binge watch?

Re: Decent TV series binge watch?

I gave up after series two. Had zero interest in any of the characters. BB and The Sopranos are way better imo.

Season 2 of Ozark was dreary. Season 3 was intense. I'd highly recommend you have a rethink about it.

And of course BB and The Sopranos are better than Ozark...pointless comparison to make imo. It's like comparing Cardiff and Reading.

Walking dead?
I've watched it from series seven for some reason?
I know it's utter shit but something makes me watch the new ones when they come out?
It has some hateable characters, which I want to see get battered I think?

I watched up until the first few of series 8 then haven't bothered since.

Ok. I may give it another go but when you want the entire Byrd family to die it doesn’t bode well for ongoing interest.
It goes without saying and I’m sure you will agree. Better Call Saul. I suspect the o/p has seen it though.

Succession https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7660850/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2I Best thing I've seen on TV for a while. Recently won a lot of Emmys too.


I also watched this over the last couple of nights https://www.itv.com/hub/quiz/2a7854

Thought it was well written, well acted and well directed (by Stephen Frears of High Fidelity, Dirty Pretty Things and Philomena fame).

Michael Sheen as Chris Tarrant and Matthew Macfadyen as Major Charles Ingram.

I suppose you are right, I quite like Ozark though, there are no much that can compare to the other two, this comes closer than most.

I felt the same way. I can't really explain just how much better season 3 is, but you'll just have to trust me.

The cartel are more involved in the latest series so it ups the stakes dramatically and it just makes for a much more interesting storyline and potential consequences. They also introduce a new character that changes the Byrd family dynamic and it works really well.

I guarantee you'll like at least 2 people in season 3 and want them to live

As for Better Call Saul... It actually gets better with each season, somehow. I'd say it's as good as BB.

Not heard of fleabag but done the rest

2 series of it on BBC iplayer. Very funny and a bit dark.

BCS is fabulous and as good as BB. Really looking forward to the finale next year.

Has anyone watched End of the f***ing World? Thought it was great. Two young Brit actors. Both funny and a terrific soundtrack. Dark humour. Well worth a watch.

Best British for me was Line Of Duty by a country mile.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is a very special series think its all being re - run now on Sky Comedy.

Count Arthur Strong both TV and Radio versions.

Detectorists was simply brilliant .

Agree

Got a bit bored in that last series, seemed to be a forever issue with his brother, was waiting for it to get better but it didn’t seem to and gave up about 6/7 in....loved BB, probably 2 or 3 on my top ten all time...
