    I tried 4 or 5 eps of The Wire, wasn't for me

    Had a look at Black Monday with Don Cheadle, only watched 1 so far but seems like it might be kinda Wolf of Wall Street without Margot.

    Probably best to ask this here as more likely if others have noticed.

    Has anyone else had an issue with VPN speeds in the last day or so?
    Doesn’t matter what VPN I use but things have slowed to a crawl. I suspect ISP activity/throttling. They can’t see what you are doing on a VPN but can work out that you are using one.
    It would make a bit of sense if they were trying to save bandwidth for work from home use but surely many workers are being asked to connect to work via VPN anyway.

    Do not listen to this @mariner4life

    The Wire might be the best show on tv, ever.

    I’m struggling to think of a series I’ll happily re-watch multiple times, apart from the Wire or Band of Brothers.

    Duckman is 26 years old this year, and I have started watching the complete series again. It is amazing that back in the mid 90's something like this was commissioned and broadcast (on pay tv), and that it lasted 4 seasons.

    This is the role that Jason Alexander was meant for, starting this mid Seinfeld run. So angry and deviant.

    *edit, shit, posted to the wrong thread. Could a mod please move this to the TV Series thread

    Done now - just doing some catch up on old threads and saw this.

    @antipodean I've got one sitting on the sky box, a four parter (I think) called Mind Games, "A compelling exploration of the mental side of cricket".

    Broadcast here by sky sports cricket so not sure where else it would be available.

    @Bovidae @Bones I finished The Outsider, thought they finished it about as well as they could.

    Overall good series, quality of eps was a bit up and down though with a couple of the ones about 3-5 IIRC slow and IMO needlessly drawn out, last 3 were pretty well up there though.

    Ep 2 of Westworld last night. Maeve is my favourite host so I liked the episode. Plenty to think about regarding what is real and what is a simulation in the current version of Westworld. One question from the last episode of S2 was answered, but we still don't know who the other 4 hosts are.

    :::

    I'm guessing Abernathy is one of them, possibly in Charlotte.

    :::

    Plus we had a reference to another HBO show.

    @Bovidae pretty good ep, gave a bit more insight into the worlds.

    Yeah the crossover was pretty obvious, they also had the writers form that involved too.

    @taniwharugby I was referring to the whole scene, "actors" and others.

    The Walking Dead thread got me thinking of all the series i never finished.

    House of Cards, maybe halfway through season 2? just got sick of the same shit every episode, and getting more and more unbelievable
    Billions, again maybe halfway though the 2nd season, realised i didn't actually like any of the characters
    Jack Ryan S2. Didn't have the same feel as the first one
    American Gods. Halfway through first season, not as good as the book, found myself doing other things rather than watching

    i have an attention span problem

    I think this thread started with Lost.

    I watched first season on normal tv back in the day ... then binged The lot in 2014.

    @mariner4life You need to watch those 1 season and cancelled shows. 🙂

    For example, Forever.

    Forever (TV Series 2014–2015) ⭐ 8.2 | Crime, Drama, Fantasy

    Forever (TV Series 2014–2015) ⭐ 8.2 | Crime, Drama, Fantasy

    43m | TV-PG

    @mariner4life Do you have an aversion to great TV (and The Walking Dead).
