Breaking Bad

[steveo]

The Taff Noir thing on BBC4 had me gripped for about fifteen seconds.

All he does is gaze into space looking tortured.

If I want to see that sort of thing I'll look in the mirror

[Otta]

I found making a murderer fascinating, but it was incredibly biased. I mean the first conviction, okay, he was totally stitched up. But not sure after that. Really sad story though, and his parents are heart breaking.

Had totally forgotten there's season 2 of Saul. Right, that's next on my list.

Came to house of cards late, so only just in to season 2. Am enjoying it still, but can see myself getting bored if it's just more of the same throughout.

Bosch on Amazon aint bad! Line of Duty was good !

[Otta]

I have just really enjoyed Marcella on ITV (and have gogglebox to thank for that, otherwise I don't think I'd ever stumble across something on ITV).

First Dates there - (I assume). Though I am enjoying the idea of you watching Blind Date repeats.

It sounds like we're living parallel lives. May the god of quality serialised drama bless us both soon and make everything better.

[the-e-dealer]

Agree about Marcella but Anna Friel is a bit week on personality

[*Bob*]

House of Cards is a bit smug.

"Hey, check out our super-clever script.."

[Otta]

Agreed.

[the-e-dealer]

If you Like Sopranos you may like Lillyhamer.

[Otta]

I loved the first season of Lillyhammer. Struggled with the increased amount of subtitles in season 2 (because I have shit eyes).

[Jeremy]

Wasn't into Lillyhammer... the hammy acting just really annoyed me.

Daredevil is good, if you're not bothered by the fact that it's completely ridiculous.

Peaky Blinders is excellent if you haven't seen that.

The accents are a disgrace. Unwatchable.

Maybe, but IMO a genuine brum accent is no less ridiculous. So may as well just go with it.

"We're tha poiky bloindaz!!"

[*Bob*]

I can't be doing with bad accents. Ruins it every time.

I make a special exception for Don Cheadle - naturally - who has a special place in my heart.

[Seabag]

What, they're not real Brummies then ?

[Jah Lush]

I know I'd hate Peaky Blinders so haven't even bothered looking. Not my bag. A friend of mine sent me the first series of Vinyl on a stick, which I enjoyed, though it certainly wasn't without fault. Second series of Better Call Saul was alright. I went though all seven series of Sons Of Anarchy and wish I hadn't as it was irritating me somewhat by series 3 or 4 as did Californication (the louche writer, Quids) but stuck with it. I may give Narcos a whirl. Is it worth a butcher's?

[Jeremy]

Narcos is proper good.

Apparently the Colombian accents are awful though, so surprised Bob liked it!

[*Bob*]

Narcos is really good. The American guy is a bit of a wet lettuce and somewhat superfluous to the drama but you can largely ignore him - the Colombian characters are great.

Apparently their accents are shit though - and annoy Colombians!

[*Bob*]

Ignorance is bliss, Jez.

I don't think you can claim that on Peaky Blinders. Everyone knows their shit!

[Ellem86]

Is the West Wing any good?

[the-e-dealer]

If you liked House of Cards! Also ISTR a drama about a family with a dodgy past that runs a hotel seemed quite good but I got diverted!

[Jeremy]

Started watching something called "I-Zombie". About a girl who becomes a zombie, but still tries to live a normal life. She takes a job in a morgue to get a fresh supply of brains to eat. But eating the brains gives her flashbacks from the dead person's memory, and she uses this to solve crimes.

I think one episode was enough.

[the-e-dealer]

Yes found it Bloodline on Netflix.

[Ellem86]

Looks like The West Wing isn't on Netflix. How rubbish is that?!

[the-e-dealer]

Billions is good! but I dont have sky!
