Oh hell yeah
Here Joe is this any use? Would I get through it in a weekend to be ready to watch the new ones like?
I need something new, I’m nursing series 2 of Fargo so I don’t tear through it and then be jealous of the people who haven’t eaten all of their fargo yet.
If you haven’t watched Luther you need to watch it now. It is amazing.
Really? I haven’t heard as much raving about it and I have a tendency to dislike a lot of UK based shows.
I’m a huge fan of – Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Oz, Fargo etc.
Does this fit in?
Depends on what you like about them.
If its “they’re American” then you won’t like Luther
Yes that’s exactly what I like about them.
Strange comment.
The Last Panthers is off to a great start if you are looking for a good new show.
Hmm, I have tried to watch the Sopranos and Breaking Bad and do not get them.
But he was in the Wire and it is quite “gritty, rebel cop” show if you like that kinda thing.
Fargo S1 was good but I’m struggling with S2
I’m loving season 2 of Fargo, Culkin’s brother is great in it.
Completely Agree!
When the opening shot of a new show introduces you to a clearly enagmatic insomniac character wrestling a giant chicken, that they have clearly shared a bed with, for a grey overcoat, you know it’s a great winner. As for the end of episode reveal about his Mother being a bat and the bussel sprout farming – genius!
I would like to share a bed with Luther.
He’d be too busy watching box sets.
Bertie, that’s good but also just mean…
I’m sorry, I’m still hurting about Ruth not being in this one and lashed out.
Indeed. It’s a little bit “what’s the point”
Luther and her doing sexies was almost too much for me. Too much hotness.
Saw the first episode which was pants, full of TV detective cliches but did have her from the affair in it, never went back for more.
First episode doesn’t do the rest justice at all. Brilliant series, give it another chance.
No Ruth Wilson.
Gutted.
But….y’know, there’s always The Affair if you’re that way inclined?
She’s not mad enough in that.
Don’t judge me.
*whispers* she’s in the demil-nudd a lot more, though
demi-nudd, rather! The blood has rushed out of my brain.
I just prefer a fully clothed psycho.
Nobody’s perfect.
Can’t STAND this guy.
This is maybe the most offensive thing you have ever said on here.
Get.
Out.
Now.
loved the first season, a lot.
thought the second two were crap, fingers crossed for this one!
Ooh.
Luther.
Is that a Janet Jackson reference and if so what do I win?
What more could you want but the knowledge that your Janet Jackson reference game is on point :)
I can sleep easily now.
As well as the knowledge that the best things in life are free?
Still missing Luther V something fierce. All y’all do yourselves the favour of Googling Luther Vandross at the Dionne Warwick tribute show in about 1987. What a voice.
Loofah!!
