- HAL90015
Its good, i was not expecting this to be some sort of detective show, with a different case for every episode. But its still entertaining and well done.
I cant stand Natasha Lyonne's voice tho... geesus christ..!
- just watched some videos of her, her voice greatly degraded in the last year or so, thats crazy. It's unbearable in Poker Face.HAL9001
- Thought it was pretty decent, also just finished Russian Doll, but think I preferred Poker FacePhanLo
- Poker Face was nice but Russian Doll was fantastic. She was good in Orange Is the New Black but that show jumped the shark.CyBrainX
- Keep in mind that this show is a bit of a tribute to Columbo, and she's playing Peter Falk's character.noneck
- Have binge-watched Russian Doll twice. Poker Face is good too. Dig her voice.skinny_puppy
- Fun series, she is adorable.Wordsworth
- You cant dig her voice. Her voice diggs youHAL9001
- Columbo Incarnatemisterhow
- Russian Doll s1 was great, not so much s2. I like her voice but she tends to play the same character (herself) in everything.i_monk
- I can't stand that actor. Will not watch.HAYZ1LLLA
- Ianbolton4
Start this last night. Anyone else getting into it?
- Yep. Good stuff. I hope we find out what his endgame was.lemmy_k
- Only 2 episodes in...Ianbolton
- LOVE this showdopepope
- The static tv quantum Jesus lookback thingy was a bit shit. Didn’t get past that.mort_
- 1 Ep to go. Hope they can put together a solid ending. But really good so far.Ramanisky2
- my main gripe is that the female leads acting chops are a bit weak when compared to the rest of the cast.Ramanisky2
- Literally binge watched all episodes yesterday, waiting season finale next week, good stuffdrgs
- It's slow...cool premise though although like Ram said some of the acting sucks. The lead gal is meh... but Alison Pill is great (love her in whatever she's in)PonyBoy
- Yeah Offerman and Pill are outstandingRamanisky2
- yepPonyBoy
- loving thiscolin_s
- was on the fence for a while. But the sound design and score were more than enough to keep me in the game. Good rec.MrAbominable
- Started realy stong but seemed like it could have easily lost an hour of montages, felt like it wanted to be weird like Twin Peaks but wasn't brave enough.webazoot
- just finished. Last 3 episodes were good. And a salute to his movie Deus ex MachinaBeeswax

- it's only early days, this is going to get crazyBuddhaHat
- Really look forward to this.Ramanisky2
- Oof that looks fun. Chuckled hard when Gretha Thunberg came on the screen XDjagara
- This will need to have strong scripts to be funny though. Being ITV I can't see it cutting the mustard. In the hands of Ch4 it would be great!Hayzilla
- Harry Kane! Lolstoplying
- +1 hayzillafadein11
- Lol at itv hatred. I can't think of anything, ever, good that came from that channel. And yet, it still exists.Nairn
- Who wants to see a show based on celebrities? I suspect it will be too gimmicky and won't be funny.hotroddy
- I was looking forward to this, but wasn't able to stomach more than 5 minutes of this shite. so, so bad.scruffics
- It was really really boring. Did 10 mins of the first episode then skipped to the Harry Kane episode and managed 3mins of that. Shite.Hayzilla
- Classic ITV.Nairn
- pango0
mehh i give it 4/10
very generic.- Reviews I have read have shat all over this series, say Chris Pratt is just not good for this role.BuddhaHat
- 5/10 hereutopian
- damn, the drinker recommended but the QBN didn't... what's a girl to do?MrT
- RT: 98% audience vs 39% critic. Must be goodGnash
- E01 directed by Antoine Fuqua but not enough for QBN it seems lolgrafician
- I only watch A24 films ...hydro74
- I thought it was decent. MUCH better than that Gray man mess at Netflix.formed
- *decent when I was expecting an abomination, I should addformed
- I enjoyed Gray Man.utopian
- Good action scenes, but a bit long.zardoz
- I think the poor reviews are down to Pratt's politics.zardoz
- look like the very cheap ad...neverscared
- @zardoz I would agree because they are pretty shit. Not that he thinks differently, but he really, really lies about them.garbage
- But also this was incredibly boring, barely made it through an episode. Sorry Starlord.garbage
- This and gray man were both quite empty and boring... death list / lust nonsense although Chris Evans played a great twat in gray manPonyBoy
- I fast forwarded through every family scene and flash back and enjoyed it. Gray Man was high fructose corn syrup and I loved it. Kate on Netflix same juicejacobdean
- Oh nooose someone doesn't like what I like. It must be their political view.pango
- Yeah brother! I quite liked parts of it, went a bit off the rails towards the end. Dan Bilzerian's end was reasonably funny.PhanLo
- wait.. which one was Bilzerian?pango
- The tech bro that pretended to be all macho. I say he was like Dan only because he had a beard and was an annoying cuntPhanLo
- lol oh Jai Courtney's character.pango
- Just finished it. Was a good series, better than most in this genreGnash
- Now did you base your review on his political view?pango
- Ramanisky27
Barry ...
The last 3 episodes of season 3 have been insane.- that chase scene was pretty great.dopepope
- so so so good.Ramanisky2
- damnPonyBoy
- Man this was incredible. And the ep with fight scene with the karate guy and his kid was amazing.thumb_screws

- weird but i enjoyed it.milfhunter
- Noho Hank and his boyfriend are so beautiful. It's been consistently one of my favourite showsIanbolton
- Just seen the latest episode and it's another great one.Ianbolton
- just finished the season, it's fantastic watch it asapBuddhaHat
- Thanks for sharing this scene, Ram... because of this clip I watched episode 1 out of curiosity... and just like that I'm all caught up - love it. <3PonyBoy
- Cheers PonyBoyRamanisky2

I can kinda of see why people are comparing this one to The Wire but one is fiction and the other is based on true events. We Own this City was excellent on its own IMO. Seeing many of the same actors from the Wire playing different roles was also very satisfying. Great Show.
- Forgot about this. Next on my list now, thx!mort_
- It can be a little challenging at times in the earlier episodes to follow because of the non linear time jumps. But stick with it.Ramanisky2
- This show was great, Josh Charles plays such a perfect bastard here. And it took me a few mins to realize that was Poot from The Wire hahahaelahon
- Excellent. Also on my list, just about to wrap Severance which I also thank QBN for xMrT
- It’s very good.inteliboy
- Oh dear. Jon Bernthal is a terrible actor.mort_
- Final episode is amazing. Can’t believe this is all true. Fucked!nb

Loved the book.mugwart - good series, loved it toohelloeatbreathedrive

- Easily the best series of the year so fare-wo
- Best new show of 2018, along with Castle Rock.DRIFTMONKEY
- the book is simply divine. So well written and such incredible characters. Worried Scott worked on this thoughmugwart
- Looks good. How the fuck do you watch it in the UK?Hayzilla
- FFS how do I see this? Is there an actual useable site/app that tells people how they can watch tv shows? I have every Sky channel, Netflix & Amazon! Can't findHayzilla

I know I’m probably late to this one but I enjoyed every pretentious second of this 13 hour Epic ... Def gave me the Lynchian vibes throughout.
- I think I rec this before and got downvoted...grafician
- It’s not for everyone... the stilted dialogue, the long pans but I truly admire the world building Refn committed to. Also the soundtrack is dope.Ramanisky2
- Upvoted cuz you're a man of great taste it seemsgrafician
- Pic not working. What dis?fyoucher1
- Trailer looks good. Will check it out, thanks!mort_
- oh, lol, I didn't realise this was from the TV series thread and assumed it was a 13-hour long movie, haha.Nairn

I watched this true story 7 episode mini-series when it came out 3 years ago and really liked it.
Watching again, same if not greater pleasure, everything is top notch without being flashy, from seamless acting to impeccable cinematography, Ben Stiller directed this and he did an amazing job.
Highly recommended.
- it's a prison break story btwspl33nidoru

- Although I had to laugh at *that* Popclaw scene in S01. Made me instantly think of drgs and his 'I want her to crush my head with her tighs like a watermelon.'Continuity

- Season 2 is even better, if you can imagine.CyBrainX
- Yup watched both seasons and yes S2 is fantastic. Ep 5-7 in S2 are soooo good.Ramanisky2
- Jamie Lee Curtis gives the performance of her life.CyBrainX

- Enjoying this one. Pete from the office is the worstmisterhow
- couldn't get past the 1st ep... annoying characters. maybe will keep going.inteliboy
- It's a tarted-up version of Duty Free.
Shout-out to the 80's UK sitcom massive.face_melter - lol Duty Free. That was just a sunnier sexed up version of Howards Way.MrT
- def gets better as it goes onGardener
- Anything "HBO Original" is top. It's like a mark of excellence.grafician

- Eldorado !_me_
- Howard's Way was a gentrified version of Triangle.face_melter
- Triangle was just The Love Boat with ferries in the rain.MrT
- Bloke across the road from us wrote a book in the '80s called "Ro-Ro to Finland" about roll-on roll-off ferries. Fun times.MrT
- Really struggling to find a reason to watch episode 2 of this.mort_
- _niko1
can't get enough of this show, so good. If you're missing the wire, her's your fix.
James franco is great. Plus Method man.
I've always been a fan of 70's gritty films especially in NY. sprinkle in some porn and you've got something great here.
- I know it was posted 4 up but maybe we need it's own thread lol_niko
- I'll try it, since you compare it to The Wire ... I just can't stand Maggie Gyllenhaal.monospaced
- same guy wrote the wire. Maggie g. is actually really great in this show.lvl_13
- she's always greatFax_Benson
- yep she is, what is there to hate about her?fadein11
- so uh, what's it called?imbecile
- I don't hate her, just don't really like her as an actress that much.monospaced
- @imbecile .... 'the Deuce'Ramanisky2
- Franco looks good in a wigsince1979
- Gyllenhaal was good in this movie: https://en.wikipedia…)zarkonite
- she's just not that good looking of an actress, she's got a quirky / cute thing that some casting agent must like, I just don't see ittimeless
- so hotpango
- Shes a great actresssince1979
- The Secretary was a great movie with Maggie Gyllenhaal and James SpaderCyBrainX
- idk, I can't get into this one.section_014
- greyandred7
The Terror. Nice and grim.
- The first one was pretty goodlemmy_k
- have been enjoying this. Nice mix of grim reality and slightly daft horror.Fax_Benson
- second one was also decent, still the first one is amazingloool
- my brother recently told me about this show. Looks goodfuturefood
- agreed, season 2 was shitmilfhunter
- Yeah, enjoyed season one, couldn't get into the second. (each season is a stand alone story for anyone wondering.)webazoot
- loool4
- Looks good, thanks!spl33nidoru
- Black Mirror lost me with the pig fucking.CyBrainX
- This was good. I forgot about blackmirrors after the second episode.
@loool how did you coped with the end? :)sted - @CyBrainX Later we found out our Prime Minister engaged in bestial necrophilia as a teenager with severed pig's head. Art imitating life.PhanLo
- @sted i was ok with it really...well rounded and quite goodloool
- Black Mirror won me with the pig fucking thing.StoicLevels
- @PhanLo I'd still take a severed pig head fucker over Trump or most of the next American presidents these similarly minded assholes will elect in the US.CyBrainX
- ****misterhow
- cheers for the heads up, been watching a few russel t davis things lately and hadnt heard of thiswoowahesque
- Just my opinion, but this one was up there with some of the worst shows I’ve ever seenscruffics
- autoflavour8
most of the way through rewatching the Wire.. forgot how fucking good it was..
so dated tho.. burner phones and pagers..
if it was remade today it would be all Wickr and Telegram accounts with the cops having no idea.
- I just did a full rewatch too. Loved every minute if it.DRIFTMONKEY
- He made another series called The Corner that was a kind of precursor to The Wire. Pretty dark and bleak but worth a look.mort_
- My hometown. Greatest City in America.
https://i.imgur.com/…palimpsest - I experienced my first murder when I was 9 on the parking lot behind my apartment. We heard a gunshot around 8pm, a while after a scream: You killed my brotherpalimpsest
- Ten minutes later sirens. Thirty minutes later a Dr. Seuss story before going to bed.
Good times!palimpsest - Every time I meet someone that mentions Bmore I have to tell them that they shouldn't visit. You have to live there to love it.palimpsest
- @palimpsest Are you familiar with Baltimore based photographer Patrick Joust? Love his work.
https://patrickjoust…mort_ - How are burner phones dated?Nairn
- Because of the Covid 5G vaccine.palimpsest
- @_mort
Yes, love Joust's nightshots. Haven't been to Bmore in about 5 years but you should head down if you ever have a chance.palimpsest - Watched it for the first time over holidays. Awesome show. So dated yes, but so many good characters.Longcopylover
- The way the story arcs were constructed is what makes it so special for me. Each series from a different perspective but with the same characters.mort_
- @palimpsest Would love to visit with a camera but I'm based in Ireland so won't be any time soon.mort_
- The world building and the depth of the character stories is amazing in The Wire. I always remember this scene with very minor characters...palimpsest
- ... saying a line that sums up the whole episode towards the end. It's in one of the first two seasons. It's a mother and child looking out the window.palimpsest
