Designer1 Posted November 17, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2016 Great episode of Westworld this week. Spoiler I called Bernard being a host a few weeks ago but it was still done very well. I also think William is The Man in Black. There's a lot of evidence that points that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 First episode of the new Top Gear series that is called "The Grand Tour" for legal reasons is out today on Amazon. I've no interest in cars or motorsports what so ever, but I still kinda like the old Top Gear. It's scripted, corny, somewhat casually sexist and racist, but pretty funny thanks to the chemistry between between Clarkson, May and Hammond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Alpha Papa best moments; "You **** idiot" in slow motion. "He's still got a gun" "Move Lynn, I was watching the bird fly away" The film was great I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Have got through three quarters of Luke Cage, not expecting to really get into it but it 's pretty decent. I quite like the fact it's not a typical Marvel 'superhero' series and there's a lot of social and historical emphasis on the Harlem location.

I'd be interested to see if you still felt like that at the end. I found it catastrophically dull. Well made and with a few nice ideas and themes and good cast... But dull dull dull.

Whilst there isn't explosions and fights every five minutes the characters have been developed well (especially Mariah Dillard) i'll update when I finish the first season (who knows I may change my opinion!)

hogso Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 New series of The Affair starts tomorrow. I do wish they had finished it at the end of the second series, but I enjoyed it enough to want to know what happens next regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2016 Mr Robot season 2 has just got stupid Spoiler The amazing hacker has never seen a marketplace on the Darkweb before?

It's the best season and the final episode is some of the best TV I've ever seen, but from season five onwards the show takes a nosedive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Finished season 4 (the final season) of Banshee last night. Excellent series and bowed out at the right time. Not keen on shows that keep going and going, purely for money reasons. 5 seasons really should be the optimum length for a show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Following on from above, what are your top 5 box-sets / series of all time? I'm only going to include shows that have finished: 1. The Wire - enough has been said about this that I don't really need to comment 2. The Shield - vastly underrated cop show in LA. More action packed than The Wire. Even the 'good' guys are shits! 3. Californication - the first 3 series are exceptional. Hank is one of the best TV characters ever created 4. Banshee - a rollercoaster from start to finish and some of the most violet fight scenes I have ever seen! 5. Lost - this could have been so much better but when it was good, nothing could touch it. Honourable mentions to 24 and Entourage, which just missed the cut I will caveat my list by saying I haven't seen Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Sopranos or Boardwalk Empire. In terms of the current stuff i've seen, nothing is looking like it could break into the top 5, although yet to start Game of Thrones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The West Wing and Breaking Bad for me, then there's daylight until everything else. I'm hoping the current political climate will inspire Sorkin to bring back the West Wing 10 years on from where they left it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Band of Brothers has to be my favourite ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 If I was made to choose between The Sopranos , The Wire , Breaking Bad , Game of Thrones and Narcos . I would probably pick It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
