Boardwalk Empire most fave prog of all time

Erm, good question. My first reaction would be no, but then again it does deal with issues that could be affecting her in the coming years. If you were to let her watch it, I would watch it with her or at least have seen it yourself so you could talk to her about it. Also, be warned, the suicide scene is very graphic.

I wouldn't advise it, it gets very heavy

Recently watched outlander, enjoyed that looking forward to series three. Turn is also good. Outlander is about time travel and Scots rebellion in 1745,lots of sex and sado sex. Turn is about a spy ring during American war of independence. Both on prime.

Fleabag is quite a laugh if you don't mind middle class people and are totally amoral

I think the opening scene is our heroine being caught by her boyfriend wanking to a video of Barak Obama.

I'm sure it's been mentioned on here before but me and the wife have finally started getting stuck in to True Detective on the old catch up thing.

Slow burning and utterly absorbing. We watched episode 4 last night which culminated in a stunning scene of urban chaos.

I recommend"The Survivors" spooky and riveting

May have been mentioned, not trawling through 36 pages to find out: Lillyhammer.

Or the invaders ��

That is the second scene, the first is her getting bum ****ed.

My favourite comedy of last year.

Anyone else watched The O.A.? What the ****, not sure if its very clever or some sort of faux spiritualist claptrap.

and since you asked my 93 yrs old mum still recommends emerdale farm (when seth was in it http://emmerdale.wikia.com/wiki/Seth_Armstrong)

Master of None on Netflix. Very funny and enjoyable show. Season 2 out tomorrow!

American Gods has made a good start. Only 2 episodes in so far

**** me The O.A. was crap

New Veep is brilliant

Wicked City is appalling and rightly cancelled

Blue Bloods remains the best bad show on TV.

"Bilge" on "stilts". I watched the first three and a bit episodes then realised that life is too short. The main character (who also co-wrote and co-produced it) is really irritating as well.

Do you mean the original 70's series or the crappy remake?

Kathy Bates was nice in that but Amos Brearly showed how a true landlord should be.

Nah, The Slaughtered Lamb's landlady in American Werewolf.

Imagine their children. :eek:

Magic City on sky box sets is decent . Story of a Hotel in Florida in the 60's . If you like gangsters , pretty women sex and murders this ones a must .

Was off work a while back and watched (for the second time) another box set , Strike Back (4 series) , the story's of a covert British military team doing the dirty work that needs doing , very good .

Doesn't that describe about 80% of US TV output?

I sat through all.of.it.....she doesnt become any less irritating.

The Sniffer :)

Ukrainian crime series finds Rodney Trotter solving cases using his extraordinary sense of smell. I didn't think much of it, but had to check it out. Can be found on Netflix.

Saw second series. Despite Ansari not being a professional actor I thought it had a great script, was witty, great insights into human nature esp in this series relationships, a beautiful Italian, New York - and lots of food.

Very good

I know it's an old series but I had never seen it before but Monkey Dust is like an animated Monty Python. It's making me chuckle.

Three Girls has been extremely well acted. Terrible, harrowing story though. Apparently the trial has been toned down, if so it's disgraceful​ what they were put through.

I'm really enjoying catching up on Inside No 9, written and starring Steve Pemberton & Reece Shearsmith of League Of Gentleman, sort of like Tales Of The Unexpected each is a standalone 30 min episode often with some fairly famous guest stars..........its black comedy mixed with elements of thriller /horror and is nicely macabre. Some episodes are better than others but on the whole much recommended.

Sheridan Smith in a nuns outfit and stockings was a good start to one of the episodes :love:

Startup on Amazon. All tucking along nicely then explodes in episode 5. Just popped in to report, got to get back to ep 6. Great stuff

Ha, just watching the second season, I enjoy it too, feels quite fresh.

Ansari has done quite a lot of acting though, he's one of the main characters in Parks and Recreation for 7 seasons!

also,the Djinni was certainly a large gentleman. But that scene was also rather beautiful.

Made my eyes water just watching it. I think they've done a wonderful job with it so far, not at all scared to push the boundaries, but also not to do it for the sake of it. Also that ultra HD looks incredible.

Oh and Gillian Anderson as Lucllie Ball, that was really good.

The number of posts on this thread are making me look like a proper telly addict :o.
Hap and Leonard on Amazon.

Nearly didn't bother, but saw that James Purfoy and Omar from The Wire were in it, so gave it a go. After a slow start, it builds into quite an edgy action packed (violent) series. The second season (there's only six episodes both) is even better, changing the format slightly, but never losing the wit, charm or character developement of the first season. Excellent performances and a storyline taken from the novels of Joe. R. Lansdale, who I'd never heard of, but will definitely check out now. Highly recommend this, only 7.4 on IMDB, but I think it was based only upon the first few episodes (as somebody on there pointed out).

White gold isnt bad.

I know everyone has different taste,but i thought this was absolutely awful,wanted to rip my eyes out and cut my ears off after about 10 mins.

No it's not.
It's worse than bad.

Haven't checked it out yet but just read the Thicket by Joe Lansdale and loved it. Made me want to watch it

The first couple of episodes are ok, but keep going, it gets much better. A third series has been given the nod, but I'm thinking about reading book 3 in the H & L series first.

Well you and i have for a start:D

Handmaid's Tale - absorbing already

White gold

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...ose-encounters

Very well made and thought provoking.

Absolutely brilliant stuff. Hoping a second series is on the cards.

Yes definitely hope so as well

Caught this on iPlayer by chance before the first episode was scheduled and pretty much watched it through in one session. The cast fit this perfectly and what could have been awful if they had got the delivery wrong turns out to be very funny. Nostalgic (music etc), cringeworthy but very funny. Think the 'bass player' (Joe Thomas, one of the inbetweeners) wrote one of the episodes. Not seen the lead guy before but he was spot on. James Buckley is very good, mixing swagger with vulnerability, but they all are.

Big Little Lies was superb

Riviera just start on sky, 3 episodes in and seems quite promising. Julia Stiles is excellent in it as is Adrian Lester

I've been enjoying task master. It's ended now. Don't know what the next series is going to be like not heard of most of the comedian contestants.

Vikings

Good stuff. Just coming to the end of season 4.

Good shout for Hap and Leonard. Thanks.

Leonard is brilliant, so deadpan.

Just started watching bluestone 42 again brilliant

agreed.

I work on a 4 4 off basis and started watching Orange is the new Black, does that make me a wrong un?

I'm being forced by the grandkids to watch Henry danger over and over again. It's good stuff though.

Just watched the plastic whale on Sky Atlantic, very thought provoking. I've been trying to avoid all plastics as much as possible for years, this has re-energised me to try even further.

Loving Count Arthur Strong. 'Archimedes in the bath having his urethra moment' :lux:

Very 'brave new worldy'. Last episode really got going...

Enjoyed 2nd series of Versailles,and a 3rd is currently being filmed.

GLOW is just out on Netflix and it's really worth a watch.

Most of the attention it got beforehand was Alison Brie gets her boobs out. The bad news on that front is there's a couple of scenes in the first episode then no more.

It's based on the real TV show/Event Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling in from the early 90's, a really trashy women's equivalent of the WWF. And it's from the creator of Weeds & Orange is the new Black

A big selling point to me is 30 min episodes. I'm not a fan of long shows unless they are particularly good and I was happy to fly through the 10 episodes of this in less than a day.

GLOW (Netflix) - a bit cheesy, funny and entertaining. Also, Alison Brie gets her bristols out. What more do you want?

American Anarchist on Netflix.

An interview with William Powell, author of the infamous 'The Anarchist Cookbook'. Although I knew what it was (never read it) I was interested to find out what it's creator was all about. Worth a watch if you like that sort of thing.

Recommend a TV programme
 

Fargo series 3 is fully up to speed now, took about three episodes to build up steam. Thewlis is excellent.
Surprisingly, mensturation themed in places.


OK then.

Banshee is worth a look if you like soft porn inter mixed with blood gore and violence and a bit more soft porn. Somewhat similar to game of thrones but not walking dead as walking dead sent have soft porn

I thought was turgid and laboured myself. Drearily paced and unconvincing with some really clunky acting.

2 episodes into The Leftovers and I can tell this will be great already. Love the lack of exposition that lesser shows would have used to explain the GR, give clues as to what happened to the 2% etc

Half way through Glow and it's great. Treats the art form with respect too. Plus i'm a sucker for the wrestler cameos.

The sinner

Episode 1 of an 8 part series just aired in the states

Jessica Biel stars as a seemingly everyday housewife who commits a vicious random murder while at the beach with her husband and son and the fallout afterwards. Bill Pullman plays the detective who tries to work out why she did it.

So impressed with it so far

Been away, so catching up on stuff. Top of the Lake is very good.

The Ozarks - Netflix

Funny enough just watched the first episode. Good. A bit Breaking Bad, all in one episode. Jason Bateman no Bryan Cranston. But I guess supposed to be a fairly dull everyman financial advisor. Who happens to be a cartel laundry man for their millions. Think with them now arrived in banjo land it should get better. But hopefully not Beverly Hill Billies meets Sopranos.

Patriot is excellent. Second series has been commissioned and, if you like a dark comedy, I highly recommend it.

The official trailer -
https://youtu.be/nx-lLeKkqEQ

Billions

Billions is great, Ozarks is very promising, and love Last Chance U

I know it's been mentioned already, but I blitzed through "13 Reasons Why" across about 5 evenings last week - a very moving and emotional ride that deals with a lot of difficult issues amongst young people.

Rick and Morty is absolutely hysterical for lighter watching. That's on Netflix.

Too of the lake is good and then series two both on I player

Fearless on ITV. I usually give anything on 3 a wide berth these days, either through snobbery or simply because most of their content is sh!t, but gave this a go upon recommendation. It's far fetched for sure, but if you can ignore that, you'll enjoy a gripping show held together by Helen McCrory (who's a fine actress imo).

Midnight Sun is a good scandi crime drama abailable on Sky.

Love Line of Duty, but only discovered it on Netflix revently, so annoying that series 3 is not on the UK site yet after watching the first couple of episodes on Netflix Italy at the end of our holiday.

Ill behaviour on bbc iplayer. Quite decent

Is it comedy or thriller/drama ? Cheers in advance:p

Sounds like a comedy.

Snowfall (FX) is decent. A drama on the rise of crack in LA back in the day following a few main characters - a 19 year old who gets into dealing coke, a CIA agent who believes he's fighting communism by helping pro US rebels in South America get weapons and bringing coke into the US and a wrestler who starts working with the son of some cartel boss or something and his cousin. The problem is the kid's (Franklin) scenes are so good that it's hard to care about the other two

worth a watch

Its a dark comedy. :supergrin:Enjoy,

Stadium on the I player a football play if you love football then you will get the play :p

What's it on?

Not sure for our telly, I watch it on Kodi

El Marginal - Netflix

Argentinian prison drama. Three episodes in, very good so far.

The OA - Netflix
After-life stuff which I really liked but can imagine some won't stay the 8 one hour episodes.

Animal Kingdom on Amazon Prime. Sopranos with surfboards set in California. well worth a watch.

Atypical on netflix, about a young lad in high school with autism. Abit overplayed with the he takes everything literally bit , however still good.

4 episodes in, finding it decent but not blown away as of yet. Everyone that has seen it tells me how good it is.

Agreed

Muffin the Mule (now outlawed I suspect)

New Series of Montalbano (BBC 4)

[QUOTE=BERT'S HEAD;13797886]El Marginal - Netflix

Argentinian prison drama. Three episodes in, very good so far.

Tried to watch it but abit cheesey IMHO

I also enjoy Montalbano but a bit miffed to see that they have a different actress playing Livia a backward step.:sob:

Not that new,but really enjoyed War And Peace & Crimson Petal And White

Le Bureau

I've just read that a third series of "The Tunnel" is currently in production, great news as the first two series were outstanding.

Saw an advert on sky fir the tunnel looks good
