TV Series

Stumbled across a series called Mr in between.

Set in Australia which is nice for a change. Follows a hit man who gets himself into all sorts of shit. Really good so far, reminds me of lock stock and snatch that type of criminal.

Funny aswell. Only started but can see this becoming a fav.

The series is a serialisation of the 2005 feature film The Magician which was created, written by and starred Scott Ryan, as does the series.

This is a good call below mate, I’ve not watched the latest series though as ‘Justified’ has just really gripped me/us, a bit like ‘Banshee’ (which is well worth a watch in its own right) with a bit of a Hillbilly ’Sons of Anarchy’ gang vibe thrown into the mix, it’s sooo fuckin good ;-).

After seeing a few positive comments on here and elsewhere, I started watching “The Americans” this week. Watched 5 episodes so far, and it’s very good. Love the 80s period feel and the storylines seem believable.

Painkiller as good as it was the final outcome in the real world made me angry that those scumbags in effect got away with being drug dealers and making billions! All those involved should of all been locked up for 20+ years!

It also proves if your mega rich you can buy anyone to get you out he shit!

Cos they're part of the "too big to fail" bollocks as well that govs tell us their reasoning is, to keep saving them.

Bastards, all.

I loved it too mate, probably hard to believe if you’re under a certain age, but if you grew up in that era, it’s exactly what you expected.

Won’t spoil it, but I loved the ending, thought it was brilliantly done (in an understated kind of way).
 
Got around to watching Hijack my god the writers need sacking so many moments you think what the fcuk! If your writing a tv show make it as sensible and true to what would happen! It was so frustrating and couldn't wait to finish it, just to see how utterly shit they could write the ending! Didn't disappoint a pile of shit!

1/10

Just finished the three series of Mr Mercedes. Loved it from start to finish. Casting spot on and acting very good by all. Brendan Gleason is the standout, what an actor he is. Series three the black humour is very good. It sets its own pace but one of the best series I have seen for a while.

I didn't even know they'd televised this Stephen King trilogy but it's just popped up on Disney+ for anyone interested.
 
Missus is watching American Horror Story, watched about 10 minutes of it. What a load of shit.
 
I just finished Love/Hate season 5.
I tried it a year ago but wasn't impressed with some of the acting. I mean the main guys like John Boy, Nidge and Darren are good (John Boy being the best) I thought the support actors were pretty shit.
But others said how good it was so I tried again and yes it's a good series. I got pretty addicted to the characters. And now wish there was a season 6. But there isn't going to be :(

I personally thought the Dublin based "Kin" was better but both are a very good watch.

People who like these would probably like Animal Kingdom also, both the Aussie original and the American re-make.
