I forgot to mention Ozark, which started with a scene of unbelievable violence. The mix of violence and black comedy is brilliant.
Later episodes had moments of real humour, such as where the hillbillies bought two polecats of the same sex to breed.
As a David Bowie fan, the scene where one of the hillbillies plays "Man Who Sold the World " on his acoustic guitar with the ghost of his murdered father is heart breaking.
I also recently watched "The Undoing" with Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman, which was pretty good and a real Who Dunnit?
What they gonna do, scissor each other?
Ruth is brilliant.

How can you even attempt to diss The Wire?
Hang your head......

The Sopranos still the best of them all though.
Narcos and El Chapo want a word. :F

Narcos was good, Sopranos and The Wire were better.

I loved Black Sails, thought it was a very clever and often sexy take on being a prequel to Treasure Island.
Ozark, bored me to tears after the first season, it was just a painful slog.
El Chapo I just couldn't overlook the poor production values after how slick Narcos and Narcos: Mexico are. (both of them are excellent in all ways too)
Sopranos was alright, overhyped by many I thought and lost its way to meandering in the middle bit.
Vikings is awesome in all ways, the last couple of series are especially clever / interesting, some of the later set piece battles are really well done and you can see where they spent the increased budgets.
Just started American Gods series 3, it's a bit meh so far compared to the first 2 series.
Never bothered with any of the Breaking Bad stuff as too many people I know said the first series is a slog, but it gets better, I can't be doing that.
Loved The Spanish Princess, was sad to get to the end of it.
What these freds show is how we're all different, and that's great.

Just gotten a young lad (24) at work into that - he thought it excellent!!

I'm halfway through Boardwalk Empire. Never seen an episode until last week.
Loving it.

Re - Ozark, if you are wondering where you saw Wendy before , she was the frustrated yank in Love Actually (the worst film ever) who worked at the Ad Agency and couldn't get it together with a colleague because of her schizophrenic brother. Quite a character transformation.
It was a bit like seeing Frodo Baggins in Green Street.

The Wire, for me, is the best tv series ever. A nose ahead of Sopranos. I gave up on Breaking Bad. Currently on episode 6 of The Serpent, very good. I'm mainly watching music on iplayer or Sky Arts, there is some truly amazing stuff out there. During the last lockdown I connected up the dvd and watched the boxed set of the 2005 Ashes, leaping around the front room like an idiot.
RE: Wot I am watching now - Brentbaggie - 01-24-2021
Call My Agent - truly brilliant and often hilarious.
