Never heard of it. 7 seasons??

It’s quality. Beginning to end.

the production was granted permission (a first) to film inside the actual L.A.P.D. Hollywood Station (1358 Wilcox Avenue) where the shooting was done late in the day after most of the detectives had left. Various off-duty police volunteered their time to play extras.

That’s a show I’d recommend if you’re in to silly humour.

It's outstanding. Totally leftfield sense of humour that I love. It gets better and better.

Yep, one of the best of this kind.

Sadly it's been cancelled. It was absolutely brilliant, and the bloke who played Jarl Varg is a comedy genius. The battle scene in the fourth season is fucking hilarious, with the two leaders making their grand declarations to one another and not being able to hear anything because they're too far away, then the berserkers killing and mutilating their own troops because nobody can tell who anyone else is. Probably closer to what happened in battle than how its described in the epics.

On the subject of Archer, is it the eleventh season ever going to make it onto UK Netflix?

Quite a few of the season 11 episodes were on YouTube in their entirety for a while.

I’ve just finished watching Godless on Netflix. Western, one season, seven episodes. I thought it was very good.

Are there any other decent westerns on Netflix/Amazon?

Ymx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 2:28 pm Was Westworld any good? Watched a fair bit of season 1. Ed Harris portrayed a very disturbing psychotic character. And recall something about some robots retaining some memories between days. But was all very weird. Last episode when Ed Harris getting some pattern from a skull of someone he just killed.

Bosch is saving my life in quarantine. I even play slow jazz in the evenings like him now.

tabascoboy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 5:15 pm I quite enjoy Bosch, it's pseudo-noir and the books even more so. As usual full of cliches ( maverick cop at odds with bosses, prefers working alone rather than with a partner, broken marriage, signs of corruption in city government etc ) as are most detective series. Mostly procedural but of course with bursts of action and shoot-outs to stop anyone getting bored, quite immersive all the same.

As for the jazz, Art Pepper comes up quite a lot IIRC

Note: The Quick and the Dead with Sharon Stone and Russell Crowe isn’t. Still watched it but it was 90 or so minutes I won’t get back.

My god it’s awful. Truly, mind bendingly appalling. I can’t put into words just how terrible this is. It’s utterly stinking. Really fucking shite is the opinion I’m trying to get over here.

Read that they are going to continue but as a new series (with same actors) with Bosch as a PI

It was a while ago I read the books, but I believe that was part of the progression. It was just how Amazon was billing this as Final Season, rather than New Season that made me think it was over. If it's just getting a new name, then that's cool, seems weird though.

I've decided not to even try it, I don't need the paroxysm of rage it's likely to induce.

Likewise. What TP’s daughter was saying about it on Twitter was enough to put me off, and the first promo shot of the characters pushed me the rest of the way. Who the F is that? SYBIL? Are you SERIOUS?

Has anyone mentioned Lupin on Netflix? If you don’t mind subtitles (it’s in French) then it is excellent.

I’ve watched all three seasons. It’s ok. I thought SOA was just ok, too.

Another big yes for Lupin - we managed to find a dubbed version rather than the subtitles which made it all the more enjoyable as I loathe subtitles
