Quote from: Emphyrio on March 25, 2025, 03:06:31 PMYa, last season was poor but at least they tied it all up. I got very sick of the score played over those gazing off scenes.

I'd recommend Suburra if you were looking for something in a similar vein. Romanzo Criminale was very good too, set in 70s/80s.

Saw Romanzo Criminale years ago. Excellent show. I've seen the Suburra movie, and watched the first season of the show. Started the second season, but couldn't get into it for some reason. It's so long ago I can't remember why. Might give it another go.

A new season of Alone Australia has just started up. Such a simple idea yet utterly compelling viewing.

Watched the first episode of Zero Day yesterday. Obviously setting up the plot but it was OK. Visually it's as dull as dishwater, everything clouded in shades of grey but DeNiro's decent enough - even if his visual transformation into the old man from Up is finally complete. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Severance S2 finale not quite the cliffhanger of S1 but I very much enjoyed the whole thing.

Also thought ep.6 of The White Lotus was going to be the finale, but turns out there's 8 episodes. Ticking along nicely. Walton Goggins is really at the top of his game here imo.

It's grand. The acting is very good, story is only so so.

Loved the first season of Severance but wasnt as taken with the 2nd.

Few episodes through White Lotus S2. Great show.

I watched a 2 part miniseries from 2000 there, called Nuremberg. Covers the war crimes trials and starred Alec Baldwin and Brian Cox, who was particularly good as Goering. Worth a look (it's on Youtube) but far from essential, especially if you've seen the Spencer Tracy film or one of the many documentaries.

Watched it donkeys years ago. Decent, but as you say not essential.

I'd never heard of it until it was mentioned in Cox' autobiography. Great cast though.

I finished Mr Inbetween the other night. What can I say, I loved it now. It has the right amount of humour and violence with top notch acting. The story isn't overly original, but the characters are great. Anyone else watch it?

Yeah I absolutely blitzed through it after seeing it mentioned here, class show and doesn't outstay it's welcome.

exactly! If it was American there would be 10 seasons of it. Quality over quantity

Aussie crime stuff is always worth a watch.

FX funnily enough did consider a US remake with Ryan overseeing it, but felt that the original was too good to recreate, so thank fuck it landed there as HBO/Paramount would have and ruined it with shit needle drops.
