JimmyPage Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If subtitles don't put you off, then "The Returned" was excellent. Also "Inspector Montalbano" and (the rare spin off which is the equal of the original) "The Young Montalbano". Also (from the BBCs golden years) "I, Claudius", "Elizabeth R" (steer well clear of the 1980s "The Borgias" though). The great thing about the emerging US cable-led shows (The Wire, Sopranos, House of Cards) is that they treat the audience as intelligent and discerning, so aren't afraid of long story arcs, which allow characters to become fully dimensional, rather than caricatures. They also allow quite intricate plots to develop, which makes it more "real". For some light relief, "Spaced" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Oh yeah Jimmy I love Montalbano, showed them all on the BBC within the last year I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdog Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What about Homeland? I thought it was ok. far too much like propaganda for my liking Oz is pretty good. As is the first few series of Spooks. Orange Is The New Black is a good N'flix series. Utopia is OK Luther is awesome. Weeds up to series 3 is good. Bored to Death and Eastbound And Down are good comedies. It's Alway Sunny In Philadelphia is all kinds of funny. just d/l`d Luther the other day to have a look Always sunny in.... is a bloody hilarious comedy with awesomely bonkers characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Not seen Luther yet, but I will take look. Idris Elba is Luther. He was also Stringer Bell in The Wire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a documentary about "Harvey Weinstein" - the Hollywood mogul who founded "Miramax" and "Sling Blade" is referenced a few times. It was the movie that got "Miramax" noticed in Hollywood and eventually led to Disney financing them. Is it really good? i'm sure it has won an "Academy Award" too.

Academy awards are bollocks - load of cocksuckers blowing smoke up each others arses. I think it's a superb film. Very dark, Billy Bob Thornton is fucking superb and should have won an Oscar, but didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
