Re Hell on Wheels S04E11 - FFS Bohannon, tourniquet his leg back up, chuck him out the window and claim the death to be from the fall when trying to escape. Fuck's sake man, for an apparently intelligent guy that was thick as pigshit. :facepalm:
 
watched the first series of Bosch this week.

Enjoyed it, it's not gonna set the world alight but it's a solid cop show.

Some of the interplay between characters reminded me of homicide, life on the streets
 
Isn't it just; great casting, cool dialogue and S & A are superb psychos. Hope they make more.

Sorry, in reference to Hap & Leonard.
 
Just finished S04 of Hell on Wheels. Can't recommend it strongly enough - watch it; s'great. :cool:

almost forgot, Hap and Leonard, based on the Joe R Lansdale books, really enjoyed this, Omar from the Wire plays Leonard. Watch it now.

Got half way through the 1st episode and I was bored to death tbh - does it get better?

Black Sails, Vikings and Bosch are my highest rated atm.

Black Sails and Vikings are both excellent, but I was watching them via bittorrent and I can't remember where I was up to. :mad: :(

Best series on Amazon Prime is TURN: Washington's Spies.

America's first spy ring set up by George Washington to infiltrate the British army and government prior to the revolution.

Series 1 and 2 are on there and Series 3 is part way through.

Just started this and first impressions are really good. Even the title music gets a gold star.
 
Hap and Leonard? I enjoyed it from the get-go, but then I'm a fan of Joe R's dialogue from his novels, but do try and hang on in there for the appearance of Soldier and Angel.
 
Just seen that Preacher's coming to Prime tomorrow. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

'Turn' gets better and better, imo, good recommendation from the aptly named Spymaster.

I'm half way through episode 2, and not being very familiar with the American Civil War I have to admit that I'm a tad confused as to what the fuck's occurin'... :confused: :oops:

Same here. Next up is Ep 3 for me and I don't really know what's going on but I still kind of like it.
 
My recommendation is don't watch Extant. It's fucking shit. The first few episodes are okay but half way through series 2 you'll lose the will to live.

I quite enjoyed that! Admittedly it was low maintenance viewing and I tended to watch it hungover of a Saturday morning, half asleep.

If you're into American cop stuff (like my better half), try Bosch. Or Chicago PD.

GOD, almost forgot, Hap and Leonard, based on the Joe R Lansdale books, really enjoyed this, Omar from the Wire plays Leonard. Watch it now.

Attention everyone. Stop what you're doing and go and binge watch Mad Dogs. NOW.

It's the American copy on Amazon though.

The original (and better) European version is available on Sky on demand.
 
Hap and Leonard and Mr. Robot are really quite good. So is Tumble Leaf for the little one. Some very good stop-motion stuff for pre-schoolers that doesn't talk down at them.

Red Oaks and Lucifer are crap, but endearing and enjoyable crap.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is somewhat incomprehensible, even by anime standards. But gorsh it looks good.

Constantine supposed to be an abomination if you've ever read the graphic novels. I haven't. It's perfectly enjoyable fluff.

I think Wishenpoof is aggravating as all hell, but the boy likes it. Peppa Pig balances it out.

I see they've got Sons of Anarchy on there. That's pretty good.

Say what now???!!! How did I not notice this?

I only got up to half way through season two and have been meaning to watch the rest since; you may have just made my day. :cool:

keanu reeves did a better job. Travesty compared to hellblazer comics but tolerable even though I gave up 4 eps in. Lucifer though, I refuse to watch. Having the Devil run a swish bar isn't enough, you have to add that vital american tv ingredient- the cop show angle! The devil working for anyone. This is lucifer, he told the Almighty Throne to stick his job ffs.
 
Have now finished black sails and really really enjoyed it.

So much to like about it, character development, action, sets, dialogue

Thanks for the heads up urban.
