Tv Shows & Mini Series (Part 2)

@Big_Dan_Campbell scratch that - Iā€™m halfway through season 3 and itā€™s top. Iā€™m back in London in a month and itā€™ll be whiskey neat all the way

Not like Lee no?

20 years later, Iā€™m finally getting stuck into Deadwood. Brilliant television.

Iā€™ve just finished Peaky Blinders, only took me two years (I missed it when it was on originally). The whole Mosley thing was daft and didnā€™t work, but otherwise it was incredible. Murphy is brilliant and the soundtrack is wonderful.
Iā€™ve started watching Love/Hate now, again something I didnā€™t get to watch originally. Fucking hell, the jeans in those days.

I never knew that

All incredible shows on that list above and of course Deadwood too. That was some era for TV, we didnā€™t know how good we had it. Iā€™d say Lost was around then too. Nowadays you might only good a classic tv show every couple of years.

Your expectations are just too high now. You think everything should be sopranos quality from the off

Precisely. Everyone wants instant gratification now. No one wants to let something build and grow. Cheers wouldnā€™t have made it past a season in this day and age and The Wire would have struggled too.

Al is a very good character

Me or people generally? I love a slow burner personally but point taken that peopleā€™s attention spans arenā€™t the same as a decade or two ago.

Canā€™t get my head around Colin Farrell as The Penguin.

Industry had a mostly cracking season 3 but tailed off a bit in the last episode to line things up for season 4.
The Rishi episode was top notch - came across a few cunts like this back in the day
