What's it from ?

That's the name of the series :)

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

It’s one of my watch after Tokyo vice Halo and Moon knight

You will enjoy it mate

 

[Dirty Harry]

Interesting.

For me, 'Ray Donovan' doesn't just "get on with things" like normal, though. He barely suppresses anything internally and can't connect to anyone!

He's, basically, a ticking time bomb.

The narcissistic element from his dad’s character is alive and well, personally, I think it’s been very well done how they’ve not completely removed that element from Ray’s character.

What I really enjoy (amongst many) is the dynamic between 'Ray' and 'Mickey Donovan'.

I've been trying to decipher how to describe it, but it's really difficult! However, I find 'Ray' being the 'Alpha' shrinks, mentally, in the presence of 'Mickey' who shrinks, physically, in the presence of 'Ray'!

Both are 'Alpha' in their own way, but fear each other. It's totally fascinating writing!

I think that’s a pretty good description tbh mate, there will have been a time when Mickey intimidated Ray both physically and mentally, and then had to really focus on the mental element once Ray caught up with him physically ( which he absolutely knew would happen eventually), which in itself is very manipulative (and typical) of those types of relationships, it’s an intriguing play off each other and brilliantly done at times .

The Brokenwood Mysteries - a fun, non-serious show.

But for me, the fun seems to have drained out of the most recent season. The series seems to have devolved into weak storylines full of previous season cliches. There are so many fantastic alternatives airing that I'll probably stop watching this series.

 

[Feed the Elk]

Is it as good as the original series?

Yeah it’s incredible - it pushes the boundaries at points but it comes across as being very real and ruthless with some brilliant acting and great characters. Me and the missus loved it

 

[Bill Walker]

Started watching Billy the Kid.

Ep 1

 

[Don Karleone]

Looking forward to this.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Looking forward to this.

As am i.

A brilliant series that went largely under the radar.

Started watching Billy the Kid.

Ep 1

Let us know what you think?

If its a thumbs up,i wont bother.

I'm surprised nobody's talking about 'We Own This City' seen as the "spiritual sequel" to 'The Wire'.

It's a bit too 'informational' which is both good and bad as, for me, it made me feel like it was holding my hand as it walked me through the episodes.

Reminds me of 'The Wire' in that way.

 

[Bill Walker]

Finished season 1 of Outer Range last night. Thought it was ok, nothing great but enjoyable, if a bit weird. Kind of Sci-Fi modern day Western.
Strange to see Imogen Poots in that role like that but she is quite good..

 

[HolisticJim]

Just Finished Watching Time.
Was a really good prison drama.

Yeah I saw that mate. I really liked it.

Yeah I saw that mate. I really liked it.

I was gutted because the IMDB listing said 6 episodes. It ended on 3 and when I looked properly it said series 2 had been announced for next year which was the other 3.

It was like reaching into a bag for your last chicken nugget only to find you'd already eaten it!

I brought this up a while ago as one that I was looking forward to. I'm waiting for all the episodes to air before I watch it. Anything by David Simon is on my "to watch list".
His next piece of work will be "A dry Run" and I'm looking forward to that.
If you haven't watched, "Show me a hero", I suggest you get on it ; )

Nice! I will look for that.

Thanks!

Working my way through Mr Robot on Amazon Prime.

It’s quite a challenging show but anyone with an interest in technology and socio economics will enjoy it.

Christian Slater and Remi Malek are brilliant in it.

Watched a couple of episodes of Moon knight it ok but that Steven is an annoying shit and ruining the show.
