Hmmm… must admit you've got me intrigued, now.
Q: when is a zombie not a zombie?
Don't give any more away. I'm watching — starting tonight!
Not sure what you've watched and I guess it depends on what you look for in a TV show to spike your intrigue but, by far, the best written show (in the last maybe 10 years) has been 'Andor'.
It's a very British structure in the way the story is written and developed, in my mind.
Well, no mafia zombies, or otherwise undead members of the mob, please. As I've indicated.
If you look at what I've liked over the past few years — I can't really see any common denominator. The Leftovers, Man in the High Castle, Breaking Bad, The Expanse, His Dark Materials, Better Call Saul. Peaky Blinders further back. Likewise Westworld (first two seasons — that one fell off a cliff). Oh and Band of Brothers (which my son has in a boxed set) which was really quite impressive.
What's it on? If it's Netflix I don't have a subscription (and don't know the weird and wonderful ways of getting onto it). Don't have access to BBC iPlayer (even with VPN, which they've sussed out now — they know when you're not really where you say you are). It's a pity cos I sometimes see things I quite fancy.
Okay, we seem similar that our interest is well written TV shows, in the main.
'The Last of Us' is HBO in the States and Sky in the UK.
I would say the tier just below 'Andor' for writing would be 'Mindhunter' which was on Netflix (and if you can find it anywhere now, anyway) and 'Blackbird' on Apple+, (which is, shockingly, not getting a second series).
Well worth checking out if you haven't seen them.
Cheers mate, I was about to sign up with Nord to get BBC iPlayer, no point now.Don't have access to BBC iPlayer (even with VPN, which they've sussed out now — they know when you're not really where you say you are). It's a pity cos I sometimes see things I quite fancy.
Just go back to the wireAny recommendations? Just finished Mobland, defo overhyped but was ok. I find myself rewatching Sopranos etc when I am stuck so hoping for something new
First season was good but I struggled with second season .There’s been loads at various points over the last few months of the thread.
To sum up. Everyone thinks it’s shit except for me, who loved it.
Outrageously I have never done it, I cannot even tell you why and my family who got me on the sopranos all them years ago always said the wire as well. I will get it watchedJust go back to the wire
Shit in what way? I watched two episodes, like the feel of it and want to continue watching it, everybody so unlikable apart from the Syrian bloke.Dpt Q.
Started off really good,went a bit shit last 2 episodes.
Got really bored and just wanted them to get to the "fairly predictable' outcome.Shit in what way? I watched two episodes, like the feel of it and want to continue watching it, everybody so unlikable apart from the Syrian bloke.
Mate it’s the best by a mileOutrageously I have never done it, I cannot even tell you why and my family who got me on the sopranos all them years ago always said the wire as well. I will get it watched
The Wire was very good. But for it to be a classic, it needs to be watched again. I never had that urge with it...unlike The Sopranos, Band of Brothers, Rome etc.Mate it’s the best by a mile
