House of cards, to play the king and the final cut

I'm enjoying humans at the minute.

It is actually quite good isn't it. What I also like about it is I am not 100% sure what direction it is heading in. I have a bit of an idea but I ain't too sure.

The Shadow Line was one of my favourite series of recent times.

 

Superb cast.

[Anubis]

Loved The Shadow Line.

 

Will have to play catch-up on Humans. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell was decent.

[Bjornebye]

Eldorado

[razor]

No Offence.

 

Not quite at the end of it yet, but it's been brilliant.  A serial killer after Downs Syndrome girls.

 

Terry from Thick Of It plays a brilliant character.

 

If you've seen it, don't spoil the ending as I'm sure there's a few plot twists to come.  If you haven't seen it, it's worth it.

Really enjoyed it but it could use subtitles. Fucking mumbling Mancs.

[razor]

You have a point, sir.

 

We kept turning the telly up thinking it was a volume issue.  It was an enunciation issue.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Really enjoyed it but it could use subtitles. Fucking mumbling Mancs.

I have to put subtitles on for loads of shit now. I know it's not realistic to have everyone speak like a Shakespearean actor but how about a bit of pronunciation?

|It hasn't been on TV in Australia yet. Saw it because it sort fell onto my computer but unfortunately the subtitles didn't

I've been sticking with it, not the best series out there but worth a watch. Can't help feeling it's a rip off of Spielberg's AI.

Hinterland is supposed to be really good. My mate suggested I check it out a while ago and I've just noticed its on Netflix so gonna check it out and some point.

[Bjornebye]

My mum used to tape band of gold and playing the field in the 90's. Decent for midnight tugs. 

[The Golden Eel]

Cracker, as mentioned before. Some of it is unforgettable.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

The mini-series of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is still the pinnacle of British drama for me. I prefer a mini-series, where you know it's one story, told slowly, and you'll get a proper conclusion at the end of it. No fannying about for a second series.

 

The two-part drama Code of a Killer was decent recently too.

[redheart]

Life on Mars was superb. Especially series 1.

 

Our Friends in the North..Superb if only there was  decent quality torrent of this.

 

 

One Summer.....still the finest ever piece of British TV for me. Has it all.

[johnsusername]

Another recommendation for Red Riding. Weird and depressing. Great telly!

 

Also - another David Morrissey show Thorne. I THINK they only made two series's, but it was ace. A bit like Luther but slightly more realistic.

The Mark Billingham books are very good.

[Anubis]

Can't believe Red Riding was 6 years ago.

[stringvest]

Ill say it again. GBH.

[Frank Dacey]

Both series of Line of Duty were good. Jed Mercurio, the writer, also has a good track record in medical dramas; Cardiac Arrest and Bodies were engrossing and the more recent 'Critical' on Sky was excellent, though definitely not for the squeamish.

[VladimirIlyich]

That trilogy was brilliant television.

[Tj hooker]

Our Friends in the North was brilliant

If you know about Usenet, the entire series is available, posted 2 years ago.. Just get a decent provider like Astraweb or Giganews and away you go.

There are torrents as well but really crappy quality.

 

Perhaps that is just a product of the age of the show
