TV Show recommendations

A lot of cutting away in the last few episodes, trying to draw out anticipation.  The whole focus on Davidson last night, pushing for her to identify who she believed was her father along with the Kate/Ryan stand-off that was never shown.  I assume that we got the answer to who Davidsons father was in the subsequent scene, but why did they not show the shoot out?

I thought the same. It almost felt like they were filmed post Covid outbreak and they were fighting restrictions and maybe in a race against the clock.

It was an adequate finale, but you can understand the annoyance on Twitter.

I've been rewatching The Sopranos from the start, in S3 atm. Can't believe well it has stood up, it is still real top drawer stuff, plus its been that long since I watched it it's like a new show again.

Best show ever made. Rewatching GOT with the Mrs as she didn't bother first time round. Binge worthy second time round too. Breaking bad was actually better second time round. Sopranos number 1 though.

I'd go along with that. I really loved The Wire and Breaking Bad and would have put them in the same bracket as The Sopranos just after watching them. As time has passed I think it's The Sopranos on its own then, followed by The West Wing, Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Detectorists, then the rest.

Black Mirror is very under-rated.

I love The Wire, Sopranos and The Shield. But I think Gomorrah is out on it's own as the best show ever. The last season coming out this year too.

There's more gomorrah?? Good shout on it. I still haven't watched the Ciro film.

Only just started the shield.

[JimStynes]

Yeah they've filmed the final series.

See there's a Sopranos prequel due out in September- The many saints of Newark. Bonus

Aye T's son in real life is playing his character.

I couldn't have 24 at all.

I've very little time for cop shows where the protagonist(s) continually find themselves alone in dark, suspicious places with no phone coverage. I just can't suspend my disbelief for that.

Are you not from Ballyholland?

I've never watched Sopranos or gomorrah.
Think I've only ever seen series 1&2 of the wire...must pick it up again.

I thought LOD finale was grand....i didn't get all the overall hype in general about LOD. It was good, but not what everyone was raving about.

Just recently started Black Mirror, think i'm somewhere in the middle of series 2.
It is very good.

Good shout on The Wire. I also only watched the first two seasons (the missus wasn't pushed about it, so it doesn't leave me much opportunity!).

I read that season 2 (the Polish dockworkers season) was probably the most poorly rated, and I thought that was excellent. So definitely must try to find some time.

We are late comers to a lot of these series. But watched the wire from start to finish a few months ago. Thought it was excellent. Wife enjoyed it too.
Plodded through GoT's there on my own and thought it was fantastic up til the end. But I'd already received the heads up on that so expectations were low.
Just started LoD. Still on first series and seems to be good. But can't really avoid all the negative comments about the last episode. So now wondering if I should bother?
Sopranos next on the list.

Throw her in the bin.

Season 2 is outstanding and the importance of it and its place in the story only really comes out late in season 4 and then season 5. It was so radically different to season 1 that people thought it was poor in comparison.

LoD I think will go another season. IMO the lad pinned as "H" or the fourth man was taking the fall for the real head honcho in the hope of getting a deal but that was scuppered by AC-12, the bolloxes.
