Cut the cord on altered carbon. 7th episode. Couldn’t do it. Started the wire. Yeah I know… “what took you so long”

The Wire is slow at first, especially if you're not used to David Simon's stuff. Stick with it, you'll be rewarded.

The only wife is going away with the smalls next week so I have a few days to binge on Sci-fi. Altered Carbon is top of the list. I’m a big fan of Richard Morgan who wrote the book.

Binge on sci-fi when the wife is away? Yeah right, that's what you'll be binging on. You keep telling yourself that 

It should be mentioned I'll be on holiday so there's a lot of hours in the day mate 

To be fair on this missus she's tolerant enough of all my viewing habits ( ??? ) and has watched Westworld and GoT with me (and enjoyed them) but AC looks a little too hard-boiled Sci-fi for her.

Seeing as you're a Brit, have you watched Britannia, and did you like it? I have and was pleasantly surprised, although I did feel it ran out of steam towards the end…

Hey Bud. No, not seen Britannia yet, it's on a subscription channel I don't have. Can't wait for Vikings to come back though, on a historical theme.

Anyone watched Loudermilk on Amazon? Just watched the first 3 episodes. I like it. Comedy show about a recovering alcoholic counsellor in Seattle with a backdrop of a love of 80s and 90s music. I recommend it

In the meantime I can recommend Godless on Netflix. Sublime, cinematic TV.

@neph93:

Seriously, Godless.

I listened to you and I'm glad I did. Three episodes in and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Thanks @neph93

6 eps in and loving it too…..Thanks

Ep.6, ey? How's that sense of impending doom? 

Glad you're enjoying it.

[Giles]

There's been a sense of impending doom since Ep 1 minute 1…..

We loved Godless. Jeff Daniels is pure gold.

If you like a sense of 'impending doom' in your shows, I also recommend Ozark.

@Dstauffer:

Ozark.

I have heard this is great, must check it out this week

[Matty123]

I liked Ozark a lot. Really looking forward to season 2. It’s dark funny and yeah… you feel something bad will happen and then... well you’ll see.

[AlanJ]

For impending doom check out Gommorah, series 3. The body count trend line is off the chart.

[Seul]

Thanks for reminding me to look for it… Finally found what looks like a good rip with English subs...

[manufc10]

Ozark is good but I just can't help to be constantly reminded of the blatantly obvious similarities to Breaking Bad as I watch it.  Not necessarily a bad thing in general I guess, but it can turn me off a bit and give the impression it's a bit of a "rip off".  The fact that the show is good helps me get past that though and I will be watching season 2 when it drops.

Have never heard of Godless…just did some Googling and I'm intrigued.  I'm a sucker for good Western themed movies/shows.

Godless was great

Godless was/is great !

[Seul]

Started watching THE PATRIOT… Solid stuff... Anti-typical spy series, with lots of humour... Definitely has its own vibe...

[AlanJ]

^Think i'll take a look at that tonight @Seul …also it looks like the Belgians are coming...
