Some recommendations please TLB chums

That's had really good reviews hasn't it? I can't be doing with subtitles though as Jan refuses to wear her glasses and then expects me to read the subtitles out loud for her.

 

Coronation Street - might take you a while......


True Detective get's a lot of fans at my work...

 

Gets called Game of Groans round here, what with all the sex.

 

Coronation Farm and Emmerdale Street are what drives me out of the living room after the news in the evening to do something (anything) more interesting. At the moment, amongst other things, I'm making 1/72 scale models of all the aircraft I've worked on whilst I was in the RAF.

 

The Royal Family "my arse"

Gavin and Stacy "I'll not lie to you"

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet but only series 1 and 2

 

Shameless. PARTY!

 

Grimm
Gotham - if you like batman, this is pre batman and quite dark, only just started.
American Horror Story
Walking Dead
Supernatural
Burn Notice

 

Homeland series 1 to 3
The Bridge series 1 & 2

That should keep you occupied...

 

Please tell me you have seen The Wire...best thing I ever watched.
Our dvd broke in the middle of series 2 and I had to go to Tesco that night to get a new one to finish the episode.

 

Nope, never even heard of it. Just googled it though. It sounds promising if you liked it that much.

 

I've decided that I'll have to sell the van and retire to give me a chance to watch all this telly.

 

if you do get the wire stay with it, the heavy american slang takes a bit of getting used too...but you will be rewarded!

 

I second that emotion! Got that one, and can recommend House too.

 

Very haunting without any massive gore or horror
With the recent ebola outbreak id imagine watching it would really pull you into a burt gummer mindset
Maybe with less guns

Watching the original series really makes you realise how fragile the human race is

 

I can't quite believe no one's suggested Breaking Bad. Best thing I've ever seen.
Apart from Morecambe and Wise of COURSE.

 

That's because:

Try these:

Elementary (US modern version of Sherlock Holmes - think Sherlock but in NYC and with Johnny Lee Miller instead of Benedict Cumberbatch)
The Blacklist - worth watching just for James Spader alone

 

We have daughter and dad nights..

After Dr who we are watching new Sherlock Holmes series one...[i have seen a few but be nice to watch them continuously]

Cracker yes the old one...

When I was on my own in France I used to watch box sets on a evening [in the caravan]..

Through my life I had seen quite a few "Morse`s" episodes ,but not all in sequence 33 episodes ,I really enjoyed it and bits out of previous episodes cropped up ..

Me and the misses tend to watch more serious stuff like the shield,the wire ,Luther ,murder/ death/ kill ,she hates the big bang theory ,friends or any happy stuff...

 

x hamster......I will leave it to your discretion.....beats everything hands down ,

 

Just had to google that one as well and it sounds good.
