Thanks for the heads up on this. Seen the trailers & quite fancy it (I can now blame somebody if the missus doesn't like it!??)

[gumboots]

Review I read said it wasnt very good. Well probably give it a go anyway. In the end it's all down to what you enjoy, not what reviewers enjoy.

I've just watched Tiger King on Netflix and I have to say its absolutely bonkers, only in America, had me captivated all the way through.

For more unbelievable but true stories 'The Jinx' is on most platforms (sky for free) and is fantastic, I binged watched that a few years ago and its just coming to a head now with I'm sure more HBO episodes in the pipeline:

But the undisputed TV series, and still unsurpassed in my book, The Sopranos - tremendous, watched it all the way through 3 times and still picking up on new bits.

Tiger king was great, first episode didnt grip me straight away mind. What baffled me about the whole thing is how much money simple rednecks seem to have.

Just watched it very convoluted and violent but enjoyable. On again weds (1st episode) if you missed it.

They're all available through Sky Catch up (at least they are on mine anyway) & I believe you can get them on Now TV.

Watched the first one last night. Yes, it's extremely violent, so I'd advise anyone to avoid if that's not your thing.

Yep watched them on Now Tv on catchup

Twin was mentioned recently as a good watch. Eight episode series set on Lofoten in Norway. Crime thriller with a difference as they actually get away with it. In Norwegian with English subtitles. Couldn’t stop watching it. It was left fairly open at the end and it would be great if there was to be a follow up. I have Googled for information on a second series but can’t come up with anything, unfortunately.

Got away with it for now Clayton!

InKristofer Hivoj’s interview in Saturday’s Times magazine he was asked whether there might be a second series and he effectively said maya be so I guess it’s still up in the air.

Mrs Shoelaces thought " Twins " was really good. I haven't seen it yet.

For Sopranos fans who are looking for new content:

Michael Imperioli (Christopher) and Steve Schirripa (Bobby) talk all things Sopranos, 5 episodes in.

We loved the tiger king as well, such an exceptional collection of characters. Couldn’t get into the jinx at all and gave up on it. Subsequently a friend told me about the twist and I wish I’d stayed with it! Loved the sopranos as well but I think the wire is the greatest tv ever made, it’s just wonderful and it’s well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it yet.

Finished Gangs of London last night.

I thought it was really good. It was one where I had to stop myself from staying up til stupid o'clock with the old "just one more".

As I've said previously, it's extremely violent & very graphic, but if you don't mind this then I'd recommend giving it a go.

Loving 'Save Me' on Sky atmo. Up to episode 5.

[windymiller7]

Bit of a crossover on threads, but I'm also enjoying 'The English Game' on Netflix. I'd say it's a must watch for any football fan, especially any Rovers fan. IMHO of course.

For anyone who's not aware of this or hasn't read the opinions of others on here, check out this thread in the Football forum:

Watched AfterLife on Netflix. I'm not remotely a fan of Gervais' comedy, but AfterLife is a brilliant and brutally honest portrait of grieving imo.

Loved the first series, but wasn’t sure whether I’d want to watch it in lockdown, may send me under, haha.

I didn’t think I had to quantify something as being my opinion ? That’s a given isn’t it ?.  I could easily have said a lot of things .

After much debate we've gone back to a couple of old favourites:

The Royal Family and The Wire - you couldn't get much more of a contrast. 

[Inglorious basturk]

The wire is bloody sublime ....

 

oh sorry i mean , I like the wire 

[Inglorious basturk]

Can’t watch Ricky Tomlinson in it though . Chills me to the bone
