Couldn't get into Witcher or Supernatural, I did try. And Power...thought it was absolute bollocks. Quit after4 episodes. Tbf the Witcher is a bit confusing with the timelines, it’s really good though. How could you not get into power? It’s one of the best series on that list. The last kingdom has been probably my favourite that I have watched recently. It’s similar to vikings but it’s actually good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and @rjw63 need to watch Warrior - it’s Banshee 2.0 with martial arts Has a familiar face in it too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikings was brilliant and then there was the massive turning point (I’m sure you know what I’m on about) it went really down hill.

Goes into the same bucket as sons of anarchy, walking dead and the shield for me. Doesn’t matter if they’re supposedly good shows, i just can’t get past the cheesy acting and awful dialogue enough to enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 29, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2020 Looks like there's going to be more Pratchett adaptations coming. But, thankfully, ones that are actually authentic and beholden to the books and world that he created. As opposed to the horror show that the BBC has cobbled together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really explain why, I just never believed in it. Similar to (say) 'The Tudors' which just didn't work, whereas 'Wolf Hall' did. Might be the sets, the lighting, the script or the acting, but something was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think there is more to TLK than vikings imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Wasn't it @GarethRDR that used to continually lust after Eliza Dushku? If so he should watch season 4 of Banshee, I mean, she almost gets starkers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Someone on here recommended Banshee to me a few years back. Still grateful. Amazing show! Also have to agree with @rjw63 Californication and The Shield are both superb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
