Shooter on Netflix. Not bad, not bad.

 

[GB72]

Titans on Netflix. DC attempt to emulate daredevil etc. Actually pretty good.

Looking forward to season 2 of The Punisher on Friday

 

[jammydodger]

True Detective back on for 3rd series tonight and it has some great reviews so looking forward to that

 

[Tongo]

Manhunt. A really excellent 3 parter on ITV about the investigation that led to the arrest of Levi bellfield. Not sensationalist, a nuts and bolts approach. Martin Clunes was very good, as were all of the cast to be fair.

I'd like to have known what happened to many of the characters after the case as this was clearly career defining in both ways. Surrey police came out badly, they were in charge of the Milly Dowler case, and I'd be surprised if he was still married to his then wife. Force politics getting in the way of actually solving the cases were pretty disturbing. Recommended.

Agree. Thought it was excellent and gripping. Martin Clunes was superb.

Man, I am so far behind of these. Got bored of Luke Cage two thirds through series 2 and stopped watching it. Apparently since then Iron Fist has come out (didn't like the first series so might skip that), DareDevil s3 (loved the first two so need to watch that) and now Punisher s2 as well! First series of Punisher was great.

I left Luke Cage after about 7 episodes. The Punisher I'm dipping in and out of in Series 1. Haven't tried Iron Fist, but interestingly this and Luke Cage are now canned.

Wife made me watch Luther last week started out OK with the serial killer, but was all downhill from there

Season 1-3 were good.
4 terrible.

In fact iron fist, luke cage and daredevil are all canned and I suspect The Punisher and Jessica Jones will follow. Big spat between Disney and Netflix over Disneys new streaming service.
Season 3 of daredevil is superb, luke cage and iron fist were no big loss and jessica jones nosedived after series 1

If I had to rank them I'd say DareDevil is the best, followed by Punisher. Then JJ which was decent, Luke Cage was ok but a bit dull, and Iron Fist bottom of the pile because I basically hate the Iron Fist character. He's like a whiney overgrown child at times, I just found him irritating.

Thanks for the heads up, just finished watching it, excellent stuff.

Watched the first two episodes of Vinyl last night, not bad TBH, not many dramas where you get to see recreations of The Velvet Underground playing the factory or the New York Dolls bringing the house down.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I saw the first episode of the new series of Magnum PI. Generic tosh, easy on the brain. Suspect I will barely bother but watching it reminded me what a brilliant theme tune it had.

 

[need_my_wedge]

The Crimson Rivers from the Walter Presents series on Channel 4. Watched the first two episodes on catchup. French detective drama with subtitles, not too taxing, but quite enjoyable. Will stick with for now.

The clue would be the original was terrible in the first place, a remake didn't fill me with confidence TBH

 

[Midnight]

Really enjoying True Detective , seems back on form.

Finished Line of Duty, all four seasons. Really good.

 

[shortgame]

Finished Ozark (s1 and s2) - thought it was great!

I started on this in December when i was off work post surgery, got through most of season 1 and it sort of had me engaged but have drifted off it, should I keep going?

Started on Prison Break recently, watched a few, realised the actual escape wan't until episode 20 so skipped to there and a couple episodes after that but upon seeing there is 80+ shows to get through (more than game of thrones) I have psychologically given up already.

Sex Education on Netflix is a good watch (but not with your parents or kids), there's only 8 episodes too!
