adios 717 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 DS has its moments but overall it's pretty terrible. I'd say I lasted about thirteen episodes before ditching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30354 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 All the Michael Palin travel series, but especially Around the World in 80 Days, Pole to Pole and Full Circle should be what you're after, Wolfy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a golden age for telly right now. Thought a box set had to be a series that was finished. Still wouldn't include GoT or HoC in my list of tip of the top European places dramas either way like, but they would be in the top half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19788 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I didn't realise those were the rules. I was talking about the us reboot of hoc btw, with Kevin spacey, not the uk original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck off I know we're talking about wolfy here but if he meant any ongoing series then surely he would have asked about TV shows and not Box Sets.

David Kelly 1117 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Been re watching the Wire recently. Game of Thrones is my favourite series ever but the Wire is the best that fit's bot HF and Wolfy's criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14030 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 The Handmaid's Tale has been decent viewing so far, although it's already deviating wildly from the book, which makes me worry about the (gulp) second series they're getting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been enjoying it too. Finished in the US this week so might move from Ch4 pace to kodi to blitz the rest. Never read the book so can't be annoyed at deviation. Soundtrack has been lush.

Dr Gloom 19788 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 hope not, i was looking forward to the seeing the early days of him as saul, rather than just his backstory as jimmy. i'm a fan, but the wife has given up. she didn't love breaking bad as much as me and finds it too much of a slow burner.

People wrote it off too quickly really, it's turned into a great show on it's own. People wanted Saul from the get go but forget he started off as Jimmy Mcgill in a doughnut shop. The process of devolving into the biggest sleaze bag solicitor you could imagine has been a gradual one. Each character has enough depth about them for viewers to immerse themselves in, I like how they've slowly fizzled out Mike's story this season as the rest of the Breaking Bad crew slowly appear. I think the final season will be tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12757 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Binging through GLOW (Netflix) atm and enjoying it. It definitely has the same feel as Orange is the New Black when it comes to the strong character writing, just with a bit less of a dramatic slant. Half hour episodes so it's easy to fly through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
