wellboy1991 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 One I haven't seen. Just wasn't feeling it but only watched the 1st episode tbf. Maybe should have went on one or two more. He comes in around S4 or 5. Recurring character called Venus Van Damme. Utterly brilliant. Sons is essentially a whose who of The Shield. Every main Shield Character makes an appearance. Due to the writer obviously. Once you get bye S3 of Sons and over the accents it really is awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cameos in Sons of Anarchy are a feast for the eyes. Poor Tig. One I haven't seen. Just wasn't feeling it but only watched the 1st episode tbf. Maybe should have went on one or two more. I had the same problem. The first episode did absolutely nothing for me - to the point I had no interest in watching any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I watched it from the start in 2008 all the way to the end and in fairness it probably hasn’t aged well. Defo first few seasons aren’t great but certainly finds it feet. I am a bit of a fan boy and anyone who got into it at the time love it. 8.6 rating in IMDB, so cant be that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I've had 2 stints at Sons, got up to S5 ep12 on the 2nd go, that was a couple of months back so i'll give it another stint shortly (got quite a few programs on the go just now with (Picard, BCS, & Altered Carbon just started recently). Got fed up with all the gawd damns and jesus christs every 10 seconds (or at least seemed as frequently as that). Actually enjoyed the bbc iplayer one better with the Mayans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The Marvelous Mrs Maisel is decent, only started watching it as my wife wanted to see it but I got into it eventually. The manger, Susie (who voices Lois on Family Guy) usually has some good one liners. My missus also insisted we watch Hunters, it's not a bad show but considering the subject matter, it's seems too cartoonish at times and the flashback incidents to Auschwitz are apparently too far fetched and would never have happened. The All or Nothing series can be quite good, though I almost found myself rooting for Man City at one point. Inside Borussia Dortmund was fairly good too. I also recently watched a few documentaries about East Germany and the Stasi, interesting but grim stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Halt & Catch Fire is great, Justified, Bosch, Sneaky Pete. There's loads of good stuff on Prime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I will add Lore to my recommendations, a series that covers real life "horror stories" of old. I'm almost done with the first season, the story of Dr Walter Freeman is fucked up. The first episode of season 2 is about Burke and Hare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldman, published in the New York Times on November 10, 1988, Buchenwald survivor Morris Hubert was quoted as follows: In the camp there was a cage with a bear and an eagle. Every day, they would throw a Jew in there. The bear would tear him apart and the eagle would pick at his bones.

wellboy1991 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Started watching The Boys. On Episode 5 and think it is absolutely brilliant. Karl Urban is fantastic and Elizabeth Shue looks great for her age. Really enjoying this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpar Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Finished Hunters last night, fairly good overall but I saw the twist coming well before it happened. The Sister character annoyed me a lot, I get the point that she was shipped off to England as a child but the overuse of British phrases got on my nerves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Justified is binge worthy. Definitely. So many amazing supporting characters, but the lead is definitely the absolute star of the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
