Sons of Anarchy just didn't spark for me. Found it pretty mundane viewing. Stopped watching after 2 or 3 episodes.
Is house of cards like designated survivor?
Not really. I mean they're both set in the whitehouse. But Designated Survivor is more action movie/24 whereas HoC is more political drama/backstabbing.
It is excellent though.
Just watched Beyond. Gets a bit cheesy in places, but if you like conspiracy theories, the supernatural and attractive young americans it's very watchable.
Gonna start the OA later I think.
Did you get round to watching still game?House of Cards has got to be one of the best things I have ever watched on TV. Kevin Spacey steals just about every scene he is in. Could not stop watching it.
Started watchin Sons of Anarchy but the plot lines got sillier and sillier as it went along to the point that it lost credability. Also have never seen so many 'bikers' with beutiful teeth. They all had a "Hollywood Smile" which made it less believeable for me.
Narcos is well worth a watch. Once you get used to the sub titiles it really is a good series.
Still Game is the next thing for me!!
I switched off after one episode. Couldn't make head nor tail of it!Ended up watching The OA.
Really strange series. Some good and interesting bits, some ridiculously stupid bits.
Can't make my mind up if I like it!

If you like documentaries I would recommend Under the Sun, about North Korea.
It's one of these documentaries where there is no commentary and the director just lets the film run.
The film crew (Russian I think) were allowed to go into North Korea to film, a rarity in itself, but the whole filmatic experience is controlled by officials of the state. Telling people when to smile, how to stand, what to say and what to do.
Very much a propaganda film for the North Korean regime. The director though cleverly just lets the film run and run, so you see all the manipulation and retakes of the scenes, trying to be played out as natural, but clearly controlled. Every single nuance.
The other thing that seems abundantly clear is that in general the people only smile if they are told to by officials.
I thought 1984 was just a book, but this is quite haunting to see how close to that book reality this truly is.
The kids are indoctrinated at school to hate all enemies, especially Japan and America and the constant praised of 'the respected leader' is quite nauseating. Over and over again in everything they say and do. Bowing to the leader's image etched on to the wall and constantly praising him and worshipping him.
Must be such a sad and hopeless place to live in.
Very good.North Korea may be 1984, I'm more worried that modern western civilisation is Aldous Huxleys Brave New World to be honest.
Stick with house of cards, it's more than it appears to be.Yeah got a bit bored of house of cards about 5 in I think.
Really got into Backstrom on Netflix recently. Sort of comedy detective show. Cancelled after 13 episodes though.
In French with English subtitles but don't let that put you off - No Second Chance written by American crime author Harlan Coben, it is superb
Not inviting you round then.I can't deal with subtitled programmes either
I've been watching a series of unfortunate events on Netflix
Brilliant cast I've watched the first 4 episodes with my daughter she loves it
YesMEaning to watch that! IS it the same story as the film?
It's way better then the filmOh, might not bother if its just the same storyThought it might be something a bit different.
There's 12 books, the film was the first three, the netflix series is the first four. The plan is for 3 series to cover all 12.Oh, might not bother if its just the same storyThought it might be something a bit different.
Been watching them with my eldest, its been very good, and yeah Neil Patrick Harris has been brilliant in it.Yes
