Finally got around to finishing Fariña, which I found out is called Cocaine Coast in English and should be available on Netflix...? Anyway, pretty damn good overall. A damn sight better than (the admittedly very entertaining) Who Killed Sara? anyway 

[Emphyrio]

Must investigate that. The missus got in Netflix and the amount of shit pilot/opening episodes I've seen.....

The Mrs is from where that's set, although there is precious little Galician language it. Fierce proud of their seafaring bollock acting she is

Just watched first ep of a 6 part mini-series called The Little Drummer Girl. Based on a novel by John Le Carré and directed by Park Chan-Wook. I don't recall ever hearing about it, I found it looking up the director's filmography (if name doesn't ring a bell, The Handmaiden, Stoker, Thirst, Oldboy, Sympathy For Lady Vengeance, that director), but first ep was excellent anyway, with unsurprisingly gorgeous cinematography. Michael Shannon plays one of the leads.

I struggled through S5 of Bosch, only managed 2 EPs of S6. Didn't miss anything going into S7 and twas worth a watch.

I enjoyed "Bosch" overall - Titus Welliver and Jame Hector are very good in it. But as the series progressed, it definitely began to get flabby. The actor playing Bosch's daughter is fucking atrocious in it. Passable in the earlier seasons but Christ she is brutal but the time season five rolls around.

Also *possible spoiler* -

Spoiler

the tacked on ending is a real cop-out (no pun intended). They created a new show and brought him back for one scene after filming had wrapped.

Currently watching "The Serpent" - pretty decent. The location budget must've been massive.

Ya, gonna give the spinoff a miss I think.

[spiritcrusher]

I would normally agree that an ending like what happened in Bosch is a bit of a cop out, but I'm pretty sure that it's similar to how the books have gone.
Thought the last series was enjoyable enough, Bosch doing Bosch. His daughter is painful alright though.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Two eps into The Serpent, seems good. Also seems to me like Napoleon Dynamite's Uncle Rico, aka Alain Chartier, aka Charles Sobhraj got his wish!

Watching The North Water with Colin Farrell. Harsh sea faring show and grim as hell. Very good.

Also 're watching Deadwood. Fucking glorious. Ian McShane steals every scene he's in.

Need to get around to finally watching season three. Great show though. My old man is a huge fan. He loves all that Western stuff.

Two of us took a 3-week road trip across the US - stopped in Deadwood, Sturgis, Little Bighorn, the Badlands, Sundance etc. etc. 15 years ago this very month. Two lads with no responsibilities or  ties (apart from him being my father and I his son). Some mad craic on that trip. Few great tales. My da was like a kid at Disneyland in Deadwood though.

In his best Al Swearengen impression said to a lad in a local bar there after he drained his whiskey - "You see me empty, sir. Do not pause and inquire. Simply assume and refill."

"What, buddy?"

"Another bourbon there please. That's a quote from Deadwood."

"I don't got HBO so I ain't fuckin' seen it!"

Rightly pissed on the old man's bonfire. 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I ain't fuckin' seen it either. Every time I see it mentioned I say to myself, Oh yeah, must get round to that. But then, when it comes time to think of a new series to watch, there's always so much being recommended that I never think of it when it counts!

[ochoill]

Watching Schitt's Creek, which is much funnier than I gave it credit for from what bare bits I had seen before.  About finished S3, it's very easy to watch.

Also rewatching Neon Genesis Evangelion for the thrid time in about a year.  It just gets better every fuckin time, genuinely can't get enough of it, it's so well put together that there's stuff I'm only picking out this time around either foreshadowing events or playing into the overall theme of the show.  Just at episode 14/15ish now so it's coming off the rails altogether now - though this is something I said on the rewatch last time too, but in reality this show is slightly off kilter right from the outset.

It's in my top 5 shows of all time. Ian McShanes performance is my favourite, bar none tv or film, of all time. He is a tour de force. Aided by the best script you're going to hear.

[Eoin McLove]

I've never seen it either.

Just finished Top of the Lake Season 1 on Netflix with the missus. I have no idea where I would start attempting to critique it. Utter shite!
