As far as super hero shows on TV go, I can't really think of any darker than Daredevil. I suppose Gotham has the potential to be, but it certainly wasn't in season 1.

By dark, I mean more of a neo-noir tone and less kitchy characters, relationships. That said, I love the filming, and that fight scene at the end of episode 2 (one long camera shot a la Old Boy/Tarantino), is absolutely fantastic.

Some cable channel needs to rerun NewsRadio. That is literally one of the best sitcoms evaa. With all the cable channels around, it's a crime that you can't find great old sitcoms like Mary Tyler Moore or Bob Newhart around, for example. And yet you can watch crappy Family Feud and 25K Pyramid reruns forever.

7 days in hell on hbo is ridic hilarious.

Yeh I really enjoyed 7 Days in Hell. Fantastic cast and it had a very Eastbound and Down feel to it imo.

Indubitably

Well, I still am happy with True Detective season 2, even if it still remains somewhat of a letdown... Episodes 1 and 7 were simply fantastic, while the rest felt contrived within a sluggish, geological span of time...

Darn, will go through this thread again and see if I can find some new shows to watch, cause my tv bucketlist feels quite empty at the moment...

Mr Robot is awesome.

I have been going through my housemate's collection of Star Trek, the original series : I love it when some stuff 50+ years old holds up pretty good Sure, some of it did not age well, but because lots of themes are conceptual/metaphysical, it does travel well through time...

Wow, just watched the Hammer/corridor in Old Boy followed by the corridor scene at the end of episode 2 of Daredevil : really ****ing epic The latter being an homage to the former, obviously. I highly suggest the experience.

Then you might enjoy this thread for a while.

4 Episodes into Bosch: I am ambivalent about the show.
Anyone else watching it?

Generation War http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1883092/reviews

German mini-series telling the stories of five young friends from Berlin, who each
had a different experience of the war against Russia during WWII.

Well made and scripted series. Quite gritty and a bit brutal in parts.
Worth looking out for. Solid 8/10.

how would one go about watching it?
is it available to stream on demand?

If this is in response to my post, I found Generation War on Netflix.

Can also be found on Amazon as well.

sweet ty, show looks right up my alley.

Had 2 cousins come over from England for a visit and gave me the rec for Peaky Blinders. Would def rec for any GoT, BrBa, fans. Simply an awesome show with the best soundtrack/music of any TV show hands down. Whoever is doing the music for that show is a genius. A perfect marriage of modern music to 1920's scenes cannot be easy. Only problem with it is only 6 episodes per season.

ya the music on peaky blinders is A+++

I agree, 6 eps is way too short.
Good news tho', season 2 is out, with a fantastic performance from Tom Hardy.
So there's another 6 episodes.

And season 3 is on it's way. http://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news...to-netflix-us/

Silver linings

Disappointed with true detective season 2. Mr Robot is ok, seems kinda like a Dexter knockoff though.

Someone recommended the killing. Has anyone watched it?

I'm almost done with season 2, worth watching imo

watching darknet. Reminds me a lot of Black Mirror.

Been enjoying Narcos quite a bit. The story speaks for itself, the narrative is engaging, despite empty characters (even if they are ironically bigger than life...).

6.5/10

I saw this was by Netflix so I was kind of expecting some modern narration (like on house of cards) regarding the topics that were going to be addressed in Narcos. So I was obv disappointed.

On the American narration side we get a cliche 80s "muricas the best, drugs are bad, we kill Pablo we end the war on the drugs" viewpoints which was tilting and a waste imo irt character development / story telling.

I wouldn't have minded at all if the character developed throughout the season but he doesn't. He's just as one sided and cliche at the finale as he was at the pilot albeit a little more violent and negative.

It would have been awesome if he went from being totally green at ep 1 to being fluent in Spanish (definitely doable considering years have passed) and beginning to understand the problems from around ep 7 on.

I thought it was still entertaining and I mean we could still see this transformation considering this is only season 1 of the series. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Spoiler:

One other thing that really bugged me was at the finale when his wife says she wants to go home and he says 'this is home'.

Not believable at all. He doesn't speak any Spanish. He doesn't have any friends. The entire vibe I got from the season was 1. He doesn't want to integrate into society at all and 2. Nobody wants him to be in Colombia.

It would have been much more believable / cool if there was some sort of character transformation throughout the season and if he'd back to his wife in Spanish 'this is home'

Any thoughts on Longmire? Need a new show that lasts a while and I've watched all the mainstream shows.
