Re: rest of twinps.

The whole thing should be watched really.

Yeah.

But possibly this one

I think all of Twin Peaks is worth doing. We don't half shove some trash in our eyes and dress it up. At least with Twin Peaks season 2 you can largely watch it and understand it with perspective, as a series of mistakes ushered in by a network that had very little idea what they had on their hands. 

It starts strong, and ends strong too, and whilst it frequently bottoms out in the middle (James and Evelyn?!) it's full of some real killer nonsense (Jerry's Civil War). You might as well go all the way with it, and enjoy it for what it is.

Yup. Agree with all that.

BERLIN BABYLON.

BCS is back!

It's just 3 series of a TV show, with a 25 year gap between season 2 and 3.

In as much as anything is ‘direct’ in Twin Peaks.

Massively up for this.

It’ll be a very different show without him, but I think it can still work. I’d have preferred the final season to be his victory and vengeance, but I’ll take this.

HoC was basically The Kevin Spacey Show when it began, but it evolved into a proper ensemble piece over time. As character creations go, Frank Underwood is one of the finest I’ve ever seen … but that’s separating the art from the artist, which I don’t really think is something we can do any more.

What I am happy to do is appreciate how bloody good his work was whilst acknowledging that he was a lecherous shit. And I’m happy to use the past tense because he’ll probably never work again.

Yay

I don't see the point of continuing House of Cards. It was already completely daft anyway, and the only satisfying ending would've been finally seeing Frank get his comeuppance.

I liked Killing Eve. Daft, but really slick well made daft.

Been recuperating in bed for a couple of days and needed something to binge on.
Amazon Prime suggested Hap and Leonard.


Never heard of it, but a quick look at reviews online and it's wiki page, suggested I might be on to something here.
I'll cut to the chase. This is brilliant television, and well worth anyone's time.

It's a swamp noir. Darkly comic and deeply dramatic as the seasons progress, brilliantly cast, and just all round bloody well made.
There are three seasons. They are all great. 
Each season is only 6, hour long episodes, so about 45 mins sans commercials.
If you liked stuff like Fargo (the tv series), Quarry, S1 of True Detective, then this is for you.


It's set in the late 1980's in small-town East Texas.
It's a mismatched buddy tale. 
James Purefoy plays Hap (channeling Garner's Jim Rockford like boss), and Michael Kenneth Williams (Omar from The Wire) is his buddy Leonard. This is some Gold standard casting.

Season 1 is a Cohen-esque caper tale.
Season 2 is a racial serial killer tale.
Season 3 is about the Klan and digs deep on weapons grade racism.

It's just brilliantly watchable stuff this. As I say the leads are magnetic, and they're consistently surrounded by a brilliant supporting cast full of familiar faces from days gone by. The writing is also consistently great (it's based on a series of novels). Full of twists and turns and curve-balls.

The kicker here though is that in this country it's exclusive to Amazon Prime, which probably most of you don't have. If you do have it, then check it out. If you don't, then this is well worth yarring on the high seas.

I don't recommend much on here, but as I suspect this one flew under the radar, I'm going to stick my neck out and give this two thumbs up and a hearty hell yeah!

quality stuff
