Box Sets, Mini series, films, etc.
Finished White Lines recently, started well but tailed off IMO. Just watched and loved The Luminaries. Any recommendations?

Re: Box Sets, Mini series, films, etc.
I binge watched The IT Crowd a week or two back. I've seen them all before, but not for a long time.
Series one and two rank among the funniest things I have ever seen, three and four, not so much. The later 'Final' episode is brilliantly funny though.
I tied the same with Black Books, it's funny, but not as funny as I remembered.
Might try and find 'Man Down' and give it a binge, I remember it being ace.

I watched Green Book the other night. Pretty well done, even with Viggo Mortensen sounding like something out of the Sopranos. Its free on Prime Video.

Re: Box Sets, Mini series, films, etc.
The Office but the US version. I couldn’t stand the UK one, sorry Gervais just annoys me but I’m loving the US one. It’s free on Amazon Prime. Don’t know how it’s still allowed to be there, as it’s so politically incorrect!
Life’s for living, so let’s get on with it! 
Re: Box Sets, Mini series, films, etc.
Hello Davy, I have arrived after difficulties registering!
Anyway,
I was fan of the Wire back in the dya when it was on TV. Nowadays my must-see is any of the versions of NCIS. I started with the original and then got into the Los Angeles one but now love the New Orleans series. All of them have great characters, excellent scripts and a lot of wit, standing-jokes. My wife's best friend is a big fan cos' she loves Mark Harmon. Me , I reckon the plain NCIS- series did have the most beautiful female on TV until they killed the character off. Character name was ZIVA, played by Chilean actress Cote de Pablo. Ziva is funny as well, a stunning- looking lady but playing a MOSSAD- agent and with deadly ninja-skills. When some bad guys try it on, but never ends well for them. Ho-ho!!
Cheers Skub, see you around here...

Garnets Gold. Beautifully shot. Some simply stunning cinematography! The film, errr, well, if you can watch the straight story, you could probably watch this?
