TV Series

Queuing up the final season from More4 HD.

D-83 (1st) season was fantastic, D-86 (2nd) season couldn't live up to the East vs West German tension of the premiere season. I'm hoping that D-89 (3rd) season goes out with a bang.

I loved season 1 but yeah season 2 wasn't quite as good, although I enjoyed it more second time round. I've got one episode left of 89 and to be honest I don't have a proper clue what's going on.

Of course. I've committed myself to watching 2 series whatever I think because I know some people have said that S1 didn't really go anywhere and it only clicked in S2. I don't dislike what I've seen (a couple of bits were pointlessly gory IMO) but I realise it's early days yet.

I literally thought the same. That pointless gore disappears from it. I think the gain the confidence that they don't need it to be edgy.

"Slow paced"? Maybe you should stick to Beverly Hills Cop.

Slow paced and a bit boring tbh. Beverley hills cop is wank.

Half way through that now. Its engrossing but im finding it uncomfortable viewing, a bit like it aggravates you, always in edge.

Yep

My wife and I loved it, best way to describe it was 'tense'. Very very good, apparently there is a series 2 set in a Japanese WW2 prison camp....

Bit of a generalisation.

I watched it well after it was relevant. The whole lot was out already, and the hype had died down. I also went into it with a mindset that it was probably going to be overrated.

And I thought it was great. I don't consider it the best or my favourite, and I have oftennsaid the groundbreaking claims, that ground had been broken before. But it is still great tv, and while there may be more hype than it deserves, 'the most overrated' is probably a bit of a stretch.

Rob, you won't know 3 episodes in. It is like judging a book 30 pages in. You may still geel that way half way in, fair enough, won't be alone. But if you end up enjoying it as it starts to click, then enjoy it and go with it.

I loved breaking bad. Like you i watched it all a couple of years after it had finished. Yes, it had lulls and some episodes were crap. But some episodes were genuine draw dropping moments and, in my opinion, there hasnt been a finer finale to a long running series.

to the guy watching it, give it time.

BB is the most overhyped series ever,i think people just went along with the praise so as to be seen as cool and relevant.

Ozark knocks spots off it for watchability and involvement.

Don't agree. I binged on BB a few years after it had finished and can honestly say I have never enjoyed anything on the TV more than that in my 59 years. Absolutely gripping, enthralling, marvellous in every way. The characters, the plot, the acting, tension, humour, drama, creativity. Simply brilliant.

Only Better Call Saul comes close IMO.

Oh, and Chernobyl as well.

Another shout out for Chernobyl.
In-cred-i-ble

Formula 1 Drive to Survive. On Netflix.

Brilliant imo. Vroom Vroom.

A few months ago heard 2 youngsters discussing this. Said if this had been real it would have been awful
