TV Series

For me to enjoy those kind of shows it has to keep within the realms of realism and all too often they go over the top. See Homeland, Prison Break etc etc. End up losing interest
After last night's season finale, I think Ray Donovan can surely be added to that list.
Too many implausible threads in this latest series for it to be remotely considered "real life".
Good acting from all the Donovans but the scenes in the garage and the garden a bit too much.
 
What was your final opinion?

I watched the first two episodes and thought it was fine, but didn't keep up with it
tbh, it was all a bit meh, tried too hard, too 'right on'...and not just in the casting of the Lead...a gender/ethnic united nations of three - count them, 3 companions.
Now if the New Years Day episode was at the start and they moved onwards and in a generally upwards direction...
Odd times I catch various episodes with Tennant or the other bloke and say ooh yeah I remember that one...and watch it as a 1 off
Not this series, I'd switch over...potentially decent Dr. Spoiled by too much bang average right on scripts

Yeah most of the complaints online seem to be based around it being too preachy
 
Finished watching Escape From.......
Nicely filmed and good acting from the main characters, particularly from Tilly's husband.
Pivotal episode for me was the one where any sympathies for the two escapees, if only for fighting back against the system, evaporated when showing why they were banged up in the first place.

Watched Episode 5 last night so they have just escaped.Love the show!
 
That will have to wait until tomorrow night.

Any recommendations for the next TV Series to watch after? We should really watch Breaking Bad but think that boat has sailed as there are just so many episodes to watch. Need something to get us to mid April ;)

100% recommend Godless.

It`s a mini series - 7 episodes, each being about an hour and ten minutes long.

It`s sheer quality.

The first 10 mins of episode 1 are jaw dropping and sets the tone for the rest of the series.

Jack O`Connell who is one of the leads, cements himself as the next young British A lister.
