Just finished Narcos season one, wow up there with the Wire , Breaking Bad, to think this happened, and was allowed to happen is bewildering . The characters as so well portrayed, you get to feel they are real at times, what an awful corrupt world the ordinary folk of Columbia had to endue, for the benefits of the corrupt, rich and end users . Those who stood strong and fought it, deserved high award and recognition .
The Killing was one the first extremely popular ones over here.Quote:

avoid all America versions, however Kenneth Branagh Wallender is not bad, in fact its good .
try this link

There are two Swedish versions of Wallander - the TV series with Krister Henriksson in the title role, and the earlier TV film versions with Rolf Holger Lassgård (who played Ernst in DAG):Quote:

Both very good - but I prefer the Lassgård versions. Both are better than Brannagh.
I preferred Henriksson although both were excellent (I thought Brannagh was very good too). The last few episodes were heart-breaking.Quote:

Beck (the latest series currently available on BBC iPlayer)

Blue Eyes
Follow The Money
The Bridge
Easy Money
Arne Dahl
I would also recommend:
Cordon (A Belgian Flemish language series)
The Night Shift (An Icelandic comedy a la Office. Based around three characters working the night shift in a petrol station)
Come As You Are (English language title. Original title: Hasta La Vista). A Flemish language film not unlike a lot of bitter-sweet comedies set in the north of England. A poignant film about three disable men looking to lose their virginity. It sounds exploitative but it really isn't).
The German Doctor (original title: Wakolda). An Argentinian film. language: Mostly Spanish but some German. A fictitious story about Dr Mengele when he was on the run in South America. Very thought-provoking. Shown on BBC4 recently.
A lot of classy stuff in there ,for me The Bridge stands out as the best followed by the Killing first series and then the political drama Borgen.Quote:

Just finished the whole of Californication in about three weeks.
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.
Apple Tree Yard looks like it may be developing into a decent drama

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.
My friend has been going on about this for years. Saying that he uses tactics in it on nights out.Quote:

I am sorry but I can't take it seriously. Either that or I am just bitter.

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.Quote:

Charlie Runkle is one the greatest characters to ever grace the small screen.Quote:

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.
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.
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.
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.Quote:

Has anyone else watched The OA on Netflix?
If so, can someone explain what the fekin hell I wasted near 8 hrs on..
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.
Recently I have been watching:
No Offence - Brilliant
Unforgotten - Brilliant
Apple Tree Yard (recorded last nights)
Next week sees the return of Walking Dead.
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.Quote:

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
