jlhoots Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 1 hour ago, Dave James said: I rewatched "Mad Men" a couple of months ago. Few things in life are as good as they were the first time, but this comes awfully close. Brilliant writing and a pitch perfect cast. Choosing from amongst "Mad Men", "The Sopranos" and "Breaking Bad" as the B.O.A.T. would be a tall order indeed. I'm also a big fan of "Dexter" although, admittedly, it's not everyone's cup of Joe, but my sleeper in the serialized television wars is "Six Feet Under". The Wire Quote
kinuta Posted September 2, 2019 Report Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Peaky Blinders latest episode. Earlier in the year I rewatched all of The Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men, Breaking Bad & Six Feet Under. Dexter had it's moments but I don't think it was in the same league as the others. The Wire is arguably the best US tv series ever, in my book at least. I've watched it twice, the second time with the assistance of subtitles. I found the dialogue pretty hard to follow the first time round. Edited September 2, 2019 by kinuta Quote
ghost of miles Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 Finished season 3 of The Man In The High Castle the other night—mesmerizing. Rufus Sewell in particular is outstanding. The fourth and final season arrives on November 15. I really do need to undertake another viewing of Mad Men, which was appointment TV for me while it was airing. Same with The Wire and The Sopranos, though I came to those shows after they’d finished their respective runs. Another show that I’ve never gotten around to but have in the queue is Boardwalk Empire.

IMO this is better than the jazz doc. Burns did. Seems more inclusive, although I've got 10 hours to go. More banjo than I need (so far - 3 episodes), but still pretty good. Quote
kinuta Posted September 20, 2019 Report Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Netflix Criminal : United Kingdom Very good indeed. A trilogy of police interviews with slippery, unsavoury miscreants. The level of acting and writing are impressive. Recommended. Edited September 20, 2019 by kinuta Quote

duaneiac Posted October 7, 2019 Report Posted October 7, 2019 I've been watching old episode of Match Game on YouTube and this segment from one episode has got to be one of the funniest game show moments of all time. Quote

Did they decide whether demons are real or not, or is that the series premise? The premise is just that. I think it's well done by the team behind The Good Fight. It's off the wall , but quite well written and performed with conviction and humour. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 I'm enjoying it too. Nicely done so far. I enjoyed the second season of Lodge 49 and hope it comes back. I'm looking forward to Watchmen. Quote

duaneiac Posted October 20, 2019 Report Posted October 20, 2019 I hate to sound like one of those old geezers who say "they sure don't make 'em like that anymore", but it certainly has been years since I laughed this hard at any sketch comedy show I've seen on TV This is a brilliant combination of very clever writing and very talented performers. Harvey Korman doing a wonderful pseudo-Rex Harrison singing a faux Cole Porter tune is hilariously satisfying. And check out the trumpet "mutes" in the "The Boy In Black Is Blue" number. It's a very funny, very clever little bit that didn't even need to be there, but thank goodness some one thought it up. Ladies & gentlemen, I give you, Hold Me, Hamlet -- Quote

jazzbo Posted October 21, 2019 Report Posted October 21, 2019 Oh gosh I can hardly read comments anywhere any longer. Not unless I want to be misanthropic and lose a lot of sleep. Quote
