malba2366 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Breaking Bad, Homeland, The Sopranos, House of Cards, The Wire, Dexter, 24 are my all time favorites. The Tyrant which is a new show on FX is decent as well...if you like 24 and Homeland you will probably like it as it is the same writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topdiesel Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Two period shows have really grabbed my attention. They are both on Netflix and one is a Netflix original. Some of the Netflix originals are produced by the Weinstein company which is a pretty big deal. Copper & Peaky Blinders I was not expecting much from these shows, but they delivered. The really cool part is that people are constantly smoking cigars int them (more so in Copper). Peaky Blinders has a great production value and the Weinstein company also just put out Marco Polo on Netflix. I am a couple episodes in and it is pretty cool too.

Bill Hayes Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Just started True Detective and starting to get hooked. I also like Black Sails - mainly because of Jessica Parker Kennedy and love the opening credits. Hopefully the second season comes out here in Oz soon. Other favourites have been mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hayes Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Forgot to mention 'Peaky Blinders'. A grittier kind of Boardwalk Empire set in Britain after the end of the first world war. They were called the Peaky Blinders because they attached razor blades to the peaks of their caps to use in gang fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattW Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I recently started watching Bosch, one of the Amazon original series. Have to say it's very good and really sucks you in!

MIKA27 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 PEAKY BLINDERS: THE BEST SHOW YOU’RE NOT WATCHING There’s a scene in the first season of Peaky Blinders where Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) whips his razor blade-laced newsboy cap across the face of a gypsy who just proudly insulted his family. In that moment, all the coldness in his Shelby’s bleeds out on the screen. It’s the kind of moment that makes you shout, “Oh, ****!” and lean back in your seat like Zach LaVine just threw down something vicious. It’s also the kind of scene that showcases the intriguingly raw brutality that lurks quietly around every corner in the early 1900s gangster series you need to be watching. The show focuses on the Peaky Blinders—a British gang based on a real-life group from back in the day. Thomas Shelby, the leader of the dapper clan, is a war hero who operates the family’s bookie business while downing Irish whiskey and outsmarting every hapless soul he crosses. It’s in Inspector Chester Campbell (Sam Neill), a detective set on bringing down the Shelby crew, however, that Tommy may have met his match. That’s the plot, but it’s not the reason you should watch. The reason you should watch Peaky Blinders is the perfection in every tiny detail. Each is unique and superb. There’s the feel, like you’re a child watching grownups play some sort of violent game. The smallest cut delivers the cringe of chipped teeth on glass. Everything is taken to 11. There’s the scenery and cinematography which give Birmingham a dreary and dangerous vibe (think Gangs of New York but hazier). Every shot looks like it was pulled from your favorite Instagram account. There’s the music from the likes of The White Stripes and other modern rock acts that’s so wrong for the time but so right for the vibe. There are the outfits. The fookin’ sharp outfits. Each of which is topped off by a hat worthy of hiding a memorable haircut. Finally, there’s Murphy himself, who most only know from smaller parts in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. He steals the show through hypnotizingly poetic talk. Even the performance from (*SPOILER ALERT*) Tom Hardy in Season 2 can’t draw your attention away from the main Shelby. The story, while good, is an afterthought. The first season of the BBC Two series flew under the radar for most American audiences, and is only now picking up steam thanks to Netflix. It has a near-perfect rating, and, while Netflix ratings are notoriously suspect, it’s worthy of those filled-in stars. Season 3 is coming, but if you haven’t started watching yet, you should do so fookin’ pronto. Watch on Netflix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfall Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 FYI - I initially was a big pusher here for Black Sails last year when it premiered. Season 2 is already kicking season 1's ass! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
