What puts me off watching it again is Vic's wife and family, they were so annoying.
Though I could be tempted if the HD or 4K version ever comes out.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Damn, taking their time over it. Wonder if it's a technical thing or what?
Yes, I really like Dutch too. Can't wait to watch his character develop and grow in the series.
I said I was hooked already so being my impulsive self today I just ordered the whole box set. Not going to wait till the Blu-ray release.
I think you made a wise move. I can't see the handicam style benefitting much from being blu-ray.
Any recommends about a decent war tv series?
It could be similar with Band of Brothers or The Pacific, but with Iraq, Afghanistan, or maybe Libya as the background.

I'm up to episode 5. It's picked up a lot (the first episode was great but 2 and 3 were middling). It's been remarkably humourless.
I've also polished off GLOW and The Handmaid's Tale. You should definitely get on the latter, it's superb.
Agreed.
Generation Kill is an excellent 7 part mini series following a group of marines in the early stages of the war with Iraq. The TV show is based on a book written by a Rolling Stone journalist. HBO produced, David Simon (The Wire, Homide: Life on the Streets) is one of the writers for the show too.
Perfect, I'll put it on the watch list then Nilssy
Was gonna say Generation Kill. Awesome stuff.
Really enjoying Ripper Street. First season was kind of average but it gets better.
Anyone who watched the Italian political drama series 1992? It caught my eye after watching Gomorrah.
Glow is fecking brilliant, started watching it yesterday and before I knew it I was 7 episodes in.
Such loveable and charming characters, good and uncomplicated fun.

Hmmmm, tempting as I need a new show to watch.
One of the best TV shows I've watched, just sit back and let it take you on a weird and wacky ride.
Anyone gonna check out Ozark on Netflix? I think it comes out July the 21st. Also, I'm anticipating Netflix' Mindhunter and HBO's The Deuce.
Just finished Designated Survivor season one. It's basically 24 but Jack Bauer is the President rather than a field agent. Its pretty fun to watch.
I watched it ages ago. Not watched Gomorrah so can't compare. 1992 is certainly one of the better foreign dramas of recent years, similar standard to Borgen, The Killing, Bridge, Romanzo Criminale, Spiral, Deutschland 83 + Magnifica 70 (on Walter Presents). In terms of plot, there's a lot going on, not just politics as in politicians (say like Borgen), it covers the whole Tangentopoli - Mani Pulite scandal from a variety of angles

Cheers! Sounds interesting. Think I'll watch it when I'm done with The Shield.
This had my full attention.
Watched the first two episodes of The Mist last night. What a bore fest!
I absolutely loved the movie so I should give this a chance but it wasn't great.

Black Mirror on Netflix is quite good.
Special shout out to Sense 8!

It truly is shit, gave it a full four episodes but I'll give up now.
The acting of that young teen girl who is the daughter of the main couple focused on in the series is some of the worst I've ever seen.
You seem to have a very similar taste in programmes/movies to me, so the fact that you have given up on this has convinced me to give the rest of the season a swerve.
You are right about the acting too. Abysmal!
The first episode felt more like some shitty teen angst drama than a horror show.
It's a shame as I was really looking forward to it.
Gutted I was hoping it would be a decent show, not liking the fact it feels like a teen drama
Just binged Lizzie Borden, loved it.
A girl I'm seeing is raving about it as well, so I think I'll get round watching it.
That's my biggest gripe too.
The Defiant Ones looks interesting http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6958022/
4 part doco exploring relationship between Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre.
Anyone seen it yet?

Not yet, but it definitely looks interesting. Added it to my list earlier today.
Someone told me about this at a party the other night, and apparently the book it's adapted from is brilliant as well.
Oh and it's got Elisabeth Moss in it as well. That's it, I'm sold.
Is the Veep any good?
Just started watching, on Eppy1 - I confess I had high expectations, there are interesting aspects to it but does feel less documentary & more self promotional advert. Hope it improves because so far Lovine comes off as a money whore
