Seems you can stream on HBO Go but I have no idea if that's available in the UK. It's not on any devices I own, anyway. Other than that it's dvd or blu ray, or...those other places. Might see if I can pick up the DVD boxsets I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be in the right mood for them, but I watched Deutschland 87 with them well enough. As for the wire, it's not really the patience, although I found it very slow.

Which scene, out of interest? (assuming you mean The Wire) I think my favourite is either Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OLUGEr1KwI or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfidBh_hAOE Those guys who haven't seen the wire, DO NOT watch those scenes.

Currently enjoying: The Flash, Daredevil, GOT, Fear the Walking Dead and a few other series. I have way too many to watch. I was watching The Wire recently on Sky Atlantic as they were doing back to back episodes on a Friday night, running through the entire five series. Annoyingly my Sky Box messed up and failed to record two episodes about midway through Season 3, and it wasn't on the catch up/box set service so I had to abort watching it. I have since looked around and the only option is buying the box set which was about £50 for DVD, £60 for Blu ray on amazon last time I checked. I was enjoying it a lot up until the failure, lots of great characters in it which require your full attention. I will most likely buy the box set when funds allow it.

The good news for you is that even having watched half of it, it's still worth buying the box set, as Season 4 is the peak of the show (and, coincidentally, the peak of all television ever) Edited April 28, 2016 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted April 28, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Oh and while we're on the subject of The Wire - i'm on the last episode of s1 of The Affair and I think it's been rather marvelous. Slow burner but never dull and I particularly like the framing of the episodes with the two perspectives, plus the story/acting has been top drawer.

hogso Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Line of Duty...my goodness. Takes some writing and acting to have 70 minutes of a 90 minute programme literally in an interview room, then, wham. Wow. Absolutely stunning. Captivating and utterly essential viewing. Bravo BBC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 On 4/25/2016 at 06:08, Withnail said: New seasons of Silicon Valley and also Veep. Well worth the effort. Always had a bit of a soft spot for Julie Louis-Dreyfus. She also married into a billion dollars. New owner? I actually believe it was her husband that married into the billionaire club as, in addition to the $100m generated from doing Seinfeld alone, it's her great-great grandfather that started the Louis Dreyfus Group and her dad is apparently a billionaire.

It wasn't one of those 'crush the stuff into the last 15 minutes' things. I wonder where the next series will go - will there be the start of a new conspiracy to cover a few series? But - good stuff: well acted, well shot, well written. Top quality, BBC. Edited April 28, 2016 by snowychap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very good series. Hoping the next one is the last though. You should try The Leftovers if you haven't seen it already. Season 1 is definitely a slow burner, season 2 is the complete opposite. But they're both awesome. I think season 2 is my favourite season of any TV programme ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted April 29, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2016 Punisher gets his own show. Quote It’s official: The Punisher is getting his own TV series. EW has learned that Marvel has ordered a spin-off starring vigilante character introduced in Daredevil season 2. Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as vengeful military veteran Frank Castle, who brings his own lethal form of justice to Hell’s Kitchen. Writer and executive producer Steve Lightfoot (Hanniba, Casualty) will serve as showrunner. Marvel’s The Punisher marks the sixth series ordered (so far) as part of the collaboration between Netflix and Marvel Television, including the upcoming Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and the ensemble miniseries The Defenders – along with Jessica Jones and the aforementioned Daredevil. (And in case you’re wondering, as we are, whether Bernthal’s character will also be added to The Defenders lineup, that’s not yet clear – though it seems likely he’ll at least pop in for an appearance.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 29, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2016 Literally the only downside I can see for that is the question of whether the character can sustain a 13 part series. He's a great character, and Bernthal smashes the role, but the Punisher is a fairly one note character overall and tends to benefit from bouncing off others his approach is opposed to. But I'll happily watch Bernthal in that role again. Excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
