BOF Posted July 25, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yeah my parents tried to watch The Wire and literally couldn't because they couldn't understand anything. They really wanted to, but it was like watching it in French to them.I watched it with subtitles on. I only needed them maybe 5% of the time but they did make the borderline stuff easier too.As for Breaking Bad. FTLOG man sort that out would ya !?!

Stevo985 Posted July 25, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2013 Haha, yeah it's on "the list". Sopranos is more or less done (3 episodes left) and so is FNL (finally!) So there will be a gaping hole left. Breaking Bad and The Killing will be filling it I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Jesusmas/New Year for Sherlock, I think. Not sure about Wallander. Good show. Better jumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Didn't realise there was an American remake of The Killing. Anybody have an inkling over which version is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 25, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2013 I haven't seen either but from what other people have said the US version, whilst still really good, isn't as good as the original (predictably) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 re-watched The Bridge over last 2 days and on 2nd viewing is still very good even if the reveal was a bit meh. Dont think I could watch the US/Mexican version even if it does have Diane Kruger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think I could watch the US/Mexican version even if it does have Diane Kruger The bridge is class, they also doing a UK/French version..... Also who ever asked watch the original version of the killing (forbrydelsen), Sarah Lund has something about her that makes me want to smash her.

saturdaygig Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I haven't seen either but from what other people have said the US version, whilst still really good, isn't as good as the original (predictably) I accidentally watched it not realising it was a remake. I really enjoyed series one, but two left me cold. A good reason for watching the original is that then you have more series to go at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturdaygig Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I've been watching The Good Wife. I know its been around a while, but I haven't noticed it mentioned much round here. Every episode is an enclosed story line (a legal case) with a slowly building back story. The classic structure for a series. Its started well, but the back story build is slow going, and part way through series one it got a bit samey - every episode = unwinable case which they heroically win. Series two has been great though, there so much back story the enclosed episode stories don't matter, an irritation almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yep, I really enjoyed the first season of The Killing. The second season wasn't great but it's getting better in the third season again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houlston Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Also Luther isnt as good as some make out, first series maybe but certainly not this one. And apart from Stringer Bell I don't feel the love for Idris Elba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apart from Stringer Bell I don't feel the love for Idris Elba. I like it but I think it's has been overrated by some on here. Many a time have I found it a tad bit silly. Idris has done a great job though, excellent work. Edited July 25, 2013 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Just seen this BBC sitcom "Family Tree" with Chris O'Dowd in it. It's not a laugh out loud show, but I really like it, something very dry and understated about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 26, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2013 Finished The Sopranos last night. ****. Me. It's good. Haven't stopped thinking about the ending since. Absolutely sensational television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
