Great show that seems to be progressively grittier. Thanks for brining this on my radar screen @DooDiligence @DooDiligence thank you for recommending Snowfall too. Great show.

I've been enjoying Dopesick as well. It is very entertaining even though I know it is just drug-war propaganda; complete with cartoonish villains, helpless unwitting victims, and government agent super heroes to the rescue.

mjm Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 not sure recommended, but if like westerns I would recommend Old Henry. Best one I have seen in quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spekulatius Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) I enjoyed “Don’t look up !“ much more than the middling reviews indicate. “The power of the Dog” is more a drama than a western, but the cast, storytelling and setting are outstanding. Not enough bullets were spent in the “Matrix Resurrection” imo. Ok, but not great. TV series “Vienna Blood” (on Amazon Video until the end of the year), “The Expanse” (new season), “The Witcher” (ditto) and “Cowboy Bebop” are great. Edit, I am also enjoying the lighthearted “All creatures big and small” (Amazon video available until EOY), Brit TV at its finest.

Same, I may actually read the books now. Sometimes I need a good movie to help me develop character attachment to jump start enjoyment of the books. I never would have read the Shadow and Bone series had it not been for the Netflix show. Currently reading Way of Kings by Brian Sanderson. Once I finish that I may attempt Wheel of Time again.

I think "The Witcher" S2 is great and maybe a legit successor to GOT in spirit. I also enjoy "Wheel of Time". I wouldn't mind a bit more action but the characters are pretty good. lot's of fantasy stuff to watch nowadays.

TorontoRaptorsFan Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I love the new Book of Boba Fett series on Disney+. Backstory and current timeline are really intriguing.

I think some of these European shows are best reached through Amazon Prime's pipeline by getting a 30-day free. For Shetland, i watched the first few seaons on Netflix, but the last two seasons were not on Netflix yet but got it through Prime's distribution.

wristband Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Shetland and Vera are, agreed, terrific. Same author (Ann Cleeves) wrote both and her books are as interesting as the tv series are. Vienna Blood Season 2 just began on PBS - previously highly rec'd by Spek. For those interested in foreign crime, I enjoyed Henrik Menkill's "Wallender" series that starred Kenneth Branagh as the morose and disaffected Swedish detective. The original Swedish version was a mess. Branagh is far better in the title role and Menkill's books and tv story lines are captivating. "Young Wallender" as a prequel on Netflix is a must miss. I am watching and really like Netflix' Dutch crime series "Undercover" starring Frank Laemers as Ferry, a gangster living in a trailer park along with an undercover police team (Tom Waes) ingratiating themselves - both characters are intense, eyes on the prize, thinking about the game all the time. Season 3 began this week. One man is from the bad, the other from the good - both are skilled at what they are doing & trying to achieve. French "Spiral" is also one of the best foriegn tv crime series - superb acting, gritty plotting - alongside UK's "Line of Duty." If you subscribe to MHZ channel or Amazon Prime, "A French Village" is worth seeking out. Its set on certain days in the same, well duh, French village during WWII and features many actors who appear in "Spiral". Lest we forget...new season of "Ozark" starts this Friday!

Spekulatius Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) I don't think Shetland is available on Netflix any more - looks like they dropped it a while ago. it looks like you need the Britbox to see it. I agree on Endeavour - it's a great show. Edited January 17, 2022 by Spekulatius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 the first few season of Shetland is there, as i just finished watching them, before going to Britbox (through Prime) for the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
