Band of Brothers and Breaking bad

Started watching Band of Brothers yesterday and flew through 3 episodes of it. Unreal tv

 

Rewatching The Sopranos for the second time just now and honestly it's hard to argue against it. The writing and acting is just phenomenal. It's got to be that or The Wire. But The Sopranos probably nicks it because of the humour.

..Followed by Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul and Succession.

 

Band of Brothers for me.

 

Controversial but i could not really get into The Wire. I have seen season 1 and half way into season two but i can't seem to enjoy it

Season 1 was decent, but when it felt like you start to like the characters, the season was over and a completely new storyline begin for the next one.

 

It all ties in eventually. Worth sticking with.

I hated S2 at the time. I look back now and realised it tied the whole thing together.

Need to play the long game with The Wire. Pay off is worth it though.

 

Aaah i see! I might give it a go again then.

It will probably be near the end of season 3 or start of season 4 before you realise season 2 was essential but the epiphany is profound

One thing about The Wire, it doesn’t spoon feed you the story.

 

Deserves a like for originality

 

Some of the humour in The Sopranos is brilliant but it’s amazing how much the world has changed in the 20 odd years since it was made. Some of the stuff just wouldn’t be allowed these days- especially some of the cracks about Vito after he’s caught out
Sky even have a warning now at the start of some episodes now about it containing “outdated views that some viewers may find offensive”.

 

Eh?

 

All TV series and all class in their own way

 

That's the sad thing. The Sopranos, while it can be offensive at times, is a brilliant portrayal of that subculture in New Jersey and their outdated views. It's meant to be hard to watch. David Chase is a liberal apparently and he's highlighting how backwards and hypocritical all of the characters are. He's not glorifying it.

Without the dark humour it wouldn't be the classic television show it is.

 

BoJack Horseman

 

Yep. Anyone who thinks a show like The Sopranos is glorifying the mob is a * wet wipe.

 

1) Breaking Bad
2) GOT (Excluding Season 8)
3) Sopranos

 

Just re-watched Detectorists. Not necessarily the 'best' series I've seen but in terms of being able to relax me and help me switch off it's second to none. Beautifully written and acted and gorgeously shot. I think a lot of times a persons favourite song, book or whatever isn't the best they've come across but for various reasons it's still the one they hold dearest to their heart.

 

1. The Mentalist
2. Game of Thrones
3. 24
4. Arrow
5. Breaking Bad
