Thanks for the recommendations, I'll take a look.

Just finished S1 of Braquo....cracking finale to the series! Onto S2 next biggrin
I'm a couple of episodes into S2 and it's just as good as S1 so far - Was there another series after S2 or did it just finish there?

EDIT: Just looked it up on IMDB - seems there were 4 series, wonder if Netflix will ever add Series 3/4? Hope so

S3 is on Sky Boxed sets under the Fox channel, but I think you have to be quick. From my research is disappears at the end of October. I'm 4 episodes in to S3.

Onto S4 now, though it hasn't all been released yet. I'll watch S2E2 tonight if I can stay away, long day at work today (left home at 0615 and won't be getting back until around 1945 frown

Brilliant, I'll download them tonight (and just seen the post a few posts above regarding S4 so will record those too)

S4 is premiering on Fox UK on the 9th of November I believe. But I think it's been out a while so probably available via the usual torrent sites if that's your bag.

El Marginal is on US Netflix and has been good for the first 7 chapters. Set in an Argentinian prison it is quite gripping.

How did you find S2 and S3? Only seen E1 of S2 but enjoying it thus far. I preferred Gomorrah I think, but still very much enjoying Braquo!

The pace is relentless mate. More of the same in a good way smile

I'll have to check out Gomorrah in that case, never heard of it. Also Netflix?

I'd agree that Gomorrah is the better of the two. As much as I'm enjoying Braquo, some of it does seem a bit far-fetched at times. The realism of Gomorrah, whilst making it all the more depressing at times, is also what makes it so good.

Just started Big Bang Theory.

It's really quite good. Once of those that you can happily visit as and when and doesn't need a lot of time to get one in as they're about 20mins.

Wife's just 'made' me start to watch Pretty Little Liars. I know they're only supposed to be 16, but it's enough to get me by.

10 series too or something ridiculous!


Patiently waiting for ep5 of Designated Survivor.....beep, beep, beep, beep.

Sky Atlantic I think. Better than Braquo, which says a lot!!

Watched Sicario tonight. Worth a watch. Thought it would be a high action film but more about the story with a bit of violence thrown in.

Glitch

Aussie production, a bit lower budget than American stuff, but nice scenery and a relaxed film with an edge, but comes off quite original as well.

I've been watching and enjoying Braquo, but has there ever been a show with so much smoking in it??? Also, does anyone else think Walter Morlighem looks a lot like Ross Kemp?

smoking is tellyland short-hand for all sorts of pragmatic gritty dudes who get the job done, come what may. Goodies or baddies - if they're smoking, they might punch you.

He also reminds me of Vic Mackay from The Shield!

Watched S2E2 of Braquo last night, it was great.
