Oh no. Didn't know they were all available. Might binge watch then, unless it gets a bit more ridiculous and worse.Only seen episode 1 so far... even though I know all are on iPlayer. Have you watched further on?
Yeah, I liked it enough. Did find the 'football mob' MI5 scene rather ridiculous. The MI5 lot could have just approached them and then taken them all in to custody and took the flash drive.'A few bits seemed a bit out of kilter (like the opening scene) but the subject matter had me prepared to stay with it.
Think the next episode or 2 will make/break it. It needs a strong follow up to keep the ideas of the intertwining stories credible IMO.
Yeah, twas. It was rather laughable.Couldn't get in to it. I know its SciFi but it was too unrealistic for me. The way people were reacting to viewing something for a few seconds on a phone was ridiculous.
Disagree. You taking in general?British TV - truly awful.
But we can't compete with the budgets of the American big players, so obviously we can't produce as much great TV, but we do produce some great TV.Sorry Otis apart from an odd one here and there most British TV is rank awful. Shows are made with less money and it often shows.
I will watch this new show as it sounds like one of those odd good ones.
Most general TV is awful tbh where ever you are. With Amazon, Starz, Netflix etc the shows are of exceptional quality on the whole by comparison.
Yep.In fairness
Line of Duty was british on BBC and was excellent.

Think you are misunderstanding what I am saying about Breaking Bad. The style and feel of the show just wouldn't have worked over here.Got to remind you Otis 'Breaking Bad' was a worldwide hit including the UK.
being American has nothing to do with it. It was quite brilliant.
As for the ones you mention there I am going to have a look at McMafia tonight as it's peeked my interest.
I will let you know tomorrow!
I thought the last series of Luther was a disappointment, but the first two series I thought were pure brilliance.ha ha OK if you say so Otis.
I'm talking about top shows, fully engrossing and entertaining.
Luther was rubbish. If I see more head and shoulder shots in your face, over acted British drama with over the top aggressive script where everyone shouts at each other I'll have to go hide under a rock till it's gone.
Now I'm gone...don't get over here too often

And you forgot about our very own James Bond. At Pinewood there is a permanent James Bond sound stage where they make all the 007 movies.You can add Taboo to that list; many of which were global hits.
We make some great TV here, so much talent. Even Game of Thrones is essentially British 'made' even if the money is American. It's the same with movies - many of the big-budget Hollywood productions have their roots in the UK, such is the level of talent we have here - it isn;t just period drama and the quirky stuff. All of the Star Wars movies have been made here, so too the recent Batman trilogy, movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, Inception and loads more. Yes, the finance behind these productions comes from the big Amercian studios, but we actually make them.
Is Dark Sun anything like Hard Sun can I ask?Very much enjoyed Dark Sun. Any recommendations for me, for a similar kinda of series?

I quite liked Invisible Sun back in the day.Is Dark Sun anything like Hard Sun can I ask?
Not as popular as God the Son though.I quite liked Invisible Sun back in the day.
Topical you should mention Ghost.Not as popular as God the Son though.
Biggest supergroup ever! God the Father, God the Son and God the holy ghost.
Can't quite remember which one was on bass and which one on drums. God the Father was quite clearly the leader and mouthpiece of the band with his billowing vocals.
Never understand the concept of an invisible sun. If it's invisible how do we know it's there? All that warmth might just come from a shed load of Calor gas heaters.Topical you should mention Ghost.
Ghost in the Machine was the album it was from I think.:-?
