Watched the opener of 4 Blocks earlier...

Spoiler
This is a remake of the Philip Joanou film from 1990, State of Grace. All the characters are there. Might be wrong like, but....Vince is Terry Noonan, undercover cop back in his old neighbourhood and his "friends", Toni is Frankie Flannery, Abbas is Jackie Flannery...and maybe, just maybe Amara is Kathleen Flannery, Noonan's old love.

Anyone else tried big mouth on netflix.  I'd say watch the opening scene and you'll know where you stand on it the lot from there.  I found it funny as fuck anyway

First half of the series gripped me but felt like it petered out somewhat.

Had been meaning to come into The Dave's thread and post along similar lines... Thought the movie to which the series was a prequel is far better.

Spoiler
The three main characters never really convinced that they would work together or support each other; it all felt very contrived and plot-tastic. And the two female main characters seemed thrown in to appeal to a female viewer base. Daddy's little girl and a businessman's wife, very cardboard, no?

Ambling to nowhere is an apt description, sort of expected the Sicilian mafia to move in about halfway through and kill everyone to just get things moving along...

No.

I haven't watched the series yet, but I'm not surprised, gunslinger - I thought the movie was good, but it's not a patch on "Gomorrah" IMO.

I found Suburra a bit meh.

Gomorrah is far superior in every way.

The policeman's son i couldn't take serious enough and the guy with the peroxide blonde hair dude was a poor man's Ciro Di Marzio and the gypsy guy enough said he had a shit haircut,at least Gennaro could pull off a shit haircut and still look boss.

I don't know if you mean the one that starred the Damien ginger from "Homeland" who supports Liverpool, but that one was great.

EDIT: Damien Lewis? I think.

I do indeed. Everyone will mention stuff they've seen recently, we all know I'm not everyone... ;D

I thought Life was a good series that unfortunately garnered little love when it was on, from critics, viewers and especially those counting the figures and money at NBC.

I also considered mentioning My So Called Life...a little Homeland tie in. Seriously though, this was another great little series...iirc, one that Danes won an Emmy for her performance in, aged 16! Killed by suits before it could bloom properly.

Three good shouts there. All would probably be better appreciated now. I posted about Rubicon a bit back, it was ahead of the audience and execs that canned it. Terriers was great fun with a great lead and sidekick duo making for a good buddy comedy. Carnivale was weird, that simple, and people want simple not weird, but it doesn't fit my criteria, in my ask, it was what one season series.

I watched this trailer last week...first thought...shoulda given the money to HBO for more Deadwood. ;D

I knew someone would mention Deadwood.
Don't blame me I voted for Jeremy Corbyn!!

Miss you Tracy more and more every day xxx

There's the obvious choices that I've mentioned in the past, y'all know them. A couple that might have passed some by, I doubt it like, knowing the cognoscenti in here.

Action was a series from Fox that starred Jay Mohr as Peter Dragon a producer in the film industry. Fox didn't have a clue as to what they had, and it was one and gone. This was another example of a show too clever for the audiences and execs...stick this on one of the many channels available now and it would be loved. I recall complaints of it being too "insiderish," what can you expect from a show about being inside the film industry. A little classic I thought, then and now.

Another that was loved by critics and those with a smidgen of intelligence was Lucky Louie. Without this it's possible we wouldn't have been seeing the series that came after, Louie and Better Things. It's possibly it was "too raunchy" for the time...I thought not, but am norra prude. Looking back with the benefit of seeing both of those and we see what Adlon and CK were about back then. As with the above, so this.

Exercise is to the body what reading is to the mind.

You can't make a western television show and expect people to not make comparisons...it's just so.

Life.

Fucking class little show, that. I tend to like Lewis in most things, his partner was gorgeous, and it had Donal Logue in, and I love me some Donald Logue. Came to a half decent  stopping point when they cancelled it, but there was definitely more of the (SPOILER ALERT) conspiracy that could have been uncovered, if memory serves.

Agree with all the shouts here for other cancellations that should have got more time. For the one and dones Firefly re8gns supreme for me, with Terriers just a notch underneath. TV executives can be incredibly stupid at times.
