Chindie Posted June 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) True Detective is absolutely spectacular. It stumbles a little right at the end but until then it's a beautiful, grim, intriguing watch with brilliant performances. Even it's framework is brilliant - 2 story lines a decade apart involving 2 cops who, right at the start of their partnership, came across a bizarre murder, and then are interviewed years later. If you haven't seen it, put it right to the top of your list. It's a short series as Xela said, but I couldn't tear myself away from it. Edit - It's testament to how good that first series is that the show is just about to start a second series, completely unrelated to the first, and even before an episode has aired everyone knows it won't hold a candle to the first.

villa4europe Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I got a 8 hour flight so need a good program to watch back to back. It has to be on the level of the wire, sopranos, GoT, breaking bad etc in terms of quality. Any suggestions ? You want something like true detective, band of brothers, the pacific etc mini series that you'll do the whole thing in one sitting Top of the lake, john Adams, Mildred Pearce, angels in America might be worth a look, they're about 4 hours in total 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Fargo or Gomorrah would be good for a long flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Anybody seen Arne Dahl? Worth watching?

wazzap24 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Episode 3 in the new series of Banshee is absolutely brilliant! It's such a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 The Goldbergs - great for nostalgia. Even though I was born in 87, my brother was born in 80 so I grew up with a lot of the stuff in the programme. Very funny/heartwarming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Just started on Series 5 of Parks and Recreation. For an American sitcom, it's very good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if all of VT watched it, people would have it right up with some of best shows around. I've enjoyed it since the start, but it's getting better and better.

Please say it gets better as while its OK its just the same formula in every episode and not as brilliant as people have told me yet Yeah gets loads better. The characters grow a lot more and it gets hilarious around season 3, 4 and 5. Edited June 21, 2015 by PieFacE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 ON season 2 of Its always sunny in Philadelphia. Please say it gets better as while its OK its just the same formula in every episode and not as brilliant as people have told me yet If you don't find season three funny then I'd say that's the time to move onto something else because three is some of the funniest TV I've watched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Cool its not that I dont find it funny at the moment but I hear people say its some of best comedy of all time so maybe im just disappointed in what I was expecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Eh, everyone has a different sense of humour. For instance, I think Two and a Half Men is one of the worst, most obvious sitcoms, yet it was insanely popular. Then again, I quite enjoy The Big Bang Theory and it's written by the same guy. Humour is weird like that. I personally think Sunny is hilarious though. It's up there with Frasier and Friends for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
