Not seen the last one yet but It's based on a book, so if it wraps everything up probably no need for another one. I know there is a sequel to the book which seemed to be seen as a poor follow upLove shantaram but just been cancelled
We're into the 3rd season of Yellowstone really enjoying it.
TULSA KING is the best thing on TV for a while.
The Americans was an austere show that ended each episode with heartbreak. Being about spies, it could have been cartoon-y. Indeed, the first few eps were a tad cartoon-y. But it became a thrilling and moving series about family and human intimacy. Some great shows, like The Wire and The Sopranos, were about power, about what it means to be in control. The Americans was about loss of control, about what happens when the one thing you should never do as a spy (permit intimacy), becomes unavoidable and tragic. The Americans' bleakness was what made it simultaneously a must-watch and a hard sell. I still think about it often.Although I enjoyed the Americans, it falls way short of the two you mentioned; the wire is a masterpiece of reporting the social ills that exist (even to this day) and the sopranos is a melting pot of dark humour, coupled with supreme portrayals of sociopaths; each to their own though pal!

Gangs Of London,s1.
Tried first 3 episodes,utter bonk.
It's like they've tried to put Gomorrah,The Krays and Power all in one.
Defo……glorified violence…..piss poor plot..Thought season one was good but season 2 is piss poor and I usually like piss poor but this is pis poor
Exactly the same position as you. Got to end of ep 3 and was still waiting to see something, anything, that I'd not seen before.Gangs Of London,s1.

The acid bath scene nearly put me off. I started to watch only last year after it did so well in the TV shows poll, and after the first couple of episodes I thought the makers were going for obvious shock/horror/loud-mouth character cliche. However, it settled down after this and I now rate BB and BCS as two of the finest TV shows I've ever seen.
Did you enjoy BCS? I've only just completed it, the cartel parts were great along with nacho and lalos storyline however I found the majority of the series was boring courtroom nonsense and don't get me started on chuck
I think tv series is a personal thing, like music.
I didn't like The Wire at all. I didn't like Gommorah, or The Sopranos.
I did like The Shield, Mad Men, Ozark, Breaking Bad & Saul.
I havent seen The Americans.
weird innit.It is interesting, because most if they like any of them, usually tend to love all of the above. I hated most of Ozark. Just couldn't get into Sopranos at all. liked the rest apart from mad men/Americans which I haven't seen.
Afterlife is such a good series. Gervais has his critics but he keeps writing great scripts regardless. Who else can hold up to his body of work since the office?Alternating between After Life and Wednesday on Netflix.
Gervais never disappoints and it’s good to see a return to form from Tim Burton.
I wasn’t sure about Wednesday after the pilot but I’ve become more invested after episodes two and three.Afterlife is such a good series. Gervais has his critics but he keeps writing great scripts regardless. Who else can hold up to his body of work since the office?
Not sure about Wednesday, I watched the first two, I get it's Tim Burton, and it's beautifully shot, but I don't get the character. Is she supposed to be a murderer? If so kill someone. She keeps saying she'll do this, that, but does nowt other than bully.
I must admit I'm guilty of dismissal if a series doesn't grab me from minute one.I wasn’t sure about Wednesday after the pilot but I’ve become more invested after episodes two and three.
I don't think you've missed out on the Sopranos at all.I must admit I'm guilty of dismissal if a series doesn't grab me from minute one.
I'm the same with films.
Missed out on a lot, especially it seems, with the sopranos.
I will make an effort.
I do like the idea of Wednesday, and I will follow it up. But I have a problem with the character, is she just a sadistic goth, or a proper murderer in the making? I wish she'd just kill someone, instead of all the posturing. Maybe I'm missing the point. It wouldn't be the first time..
Gary oldman and Daniel day Lewis are the best actors of a generation by far.Slow Horses Series 2 Episode 4 up……
if you’ve never seen start with Series 1…….Gary Oldman absolutely superb…….
can’t recommend enough if you like spy thrillers…
