Sacred Games S1 - I never knew just 3 Indian cusses could be used for a plethora of swearwords. Burned through this in a couple of days and even I had to keep the subtitles on. It starts off as a seemingly standard Indian gangster theme but departs from it soon enough. Looking forward to the next season which started filming this month. 8/10

I enjoyed this a while back. It's culturally different and interesting too.

If you enjoyed it then there's a new one just added to Amazon Prime, Mirzapur. Got good user reviews on IMDb so will be the next one I start.

4 episodes into Dark and I'm loving it.

 

Need to make a start on Narcos season 4 as well, Netflix have some great content.

2 episodes into Narcos season 4 and it's brilliant, I was concerned it would go downhill switching stories and actors but it's been brilliant so far.

Really enjoying it too but it's undeniably a step lower than the first 3 series.

 I don't think season 1 and 2 can be beat but I'm enjoying this more than 3, although it's early days.

Just finished all three series of Penny Dreadful. 9.5/10.

 

That was some brilliant television. Hats off to John Logan and the cast he assembled. After initial reservations even Rory Kinnear’s creature grew on me. Looking forward to seeing what they do with the new story set in 1938 Los Angeles that’s due to start filming next year.

Is that based on the book?

Yeah I believe so, although I've not read it.

Yeah,I agree with this. I thought Michael Pena was weak as the main DEA agent but Diego Luna grows into his role as Felix Gallardo very well. Pena's wife (who played Bunchy's wife in Ray Donovan) wasn't very good either,in my view.

It’s a good book, but I’m not sure how you could have a second series after the book. Maybe I should just watch it.

It's planned as a 4 season show. The director has said that the first season is only a third of the way through the book.

Anyone watched Startup?  Only two episodes in, but enjoying it thoroughly.

What is it? Comedy? Drama,etc? Netflix? Uk or US?

Its a drama on Amazon prime.  Third season aired in early November but I hadn't even seen it advertised prior to yesterday.  

 

Martin Freeman is in it playing a pyscho FBI agent and also has Ron Perlman (although he has not been introduced into it yet). 

 

Seems it's not been watched by many/anyone on here so I will come back and post a score when I have finished season 1. 

 

IMDB scores is 8.1, which is really good.

[SasaS]

Never heard of it, but it seems it's one of those scoring much better with viewers than reviewers.

Martin Freeman as an FBI agent? Interesting premise.

[SasaS]

He was later cast as CIA so it must have worked.

Alan Shearer said that they've come in and they've ghosted right in behind the defence and their manager will be absolutely delighted with them.

Danny Murphy said that he would barely have noticed they were there, such was their lack of presence especially when the team was trying to make the crowd scream.

In what exactly? The same programme? And 'worked' is subjective depending on an audience view. I thought he was ok in Fargo even with a ropey mid-western US accent but just can't really see him as a psychotic FBI agent based on other roles I've seen him in. Amazon Prime stuff is improving greatly but to me it still lags quite a bit behind Netflix et al.

 

I finally finished Deutschland 86 and while it wasn't too bad(Amazon made,I think?) I found the documentary that marked its final episode far more interesting than the series itself.

Oh right. I haven't seen that one so can't really comment. Is that the black superhero film that doesn't seem to have been well received, or a different film altogether?
