@kruse I think you just like it or dont, I have tried a few times to get into The Wire (trigger alert @Nepia ) yet just wasnt my thing, yet so many rate it as one of the very things ever.
Alerted.
I guess my version of The Wire is Breaking Bad - although I do like it, I just don’t think it’s as awesome as others think it is.
Edit: Didn’t realise this was in a discussion about Bosch. I’m like @Kruse i watched the first season and I didn’t enjoy it enough to watch a second. Weird seeing Marlo (The Wire reference) as a good guy too.
Even better second time round in my opinion. I’m loving binging it again.

Don't watch TV on your exercise bike, Handmaid's ruined my work out but it's a price I'll pay, not an episode goes by that I don't cry. Oh my days I wish I could spoil it for you all!!
Are you watching Series 4 online?

@bovidae I only had one thing that I may have missed...
:::
When the boy was explaining what happened, he said he returned the gun the same night, but for this to happen the old fella doesnt even notice it missing?
Or did I mis hear and he took it back days later? Or did the old fella just know that it had been taken (given 2 rounds out of chamber) and said he noticed it missing?

@taniwharugby That has been mentioned as a plot hole.
-
@bovidae I guess there is the possibility of what I mentioned above happening in simply noticing the missing rounds, and the old boy embellishing his story slightly to say it was missing?

@taniwharugby A comment on IMDb:
:::
At first I thought there was a huge plot hole - Ryan said he returned the gun that night, but Mr. Carroll said it was missing for a few days. Upon reviewing the scene between Mare and Mr. Carroll, he says he heard a noise that night (apparently after Ryan took the gun) and checked - the gun was missing. But then he says it was a few days later that he discovered it was back. That's consistent with Ryan returning it that night, but Mr. Carroll didn't know about Ryan's second visit that night. Not a plot hole!

Upshot was that it was a bloody good piece of TV. Even more miraculous in that the writers/producers took a UK style of show (think Happy Valley) and made a great (possibly better) US version.
Any whodunnit has an aspect of stretching belief to make it interesting. The trickis how well it was done and this was done well. Very satisfying.
Hopefully it is also done and dusted with no manufactured sequel.

I've been watching 1971 on Apple+.
Supposedly about the 'year that music changed everything'.I do love me a good music doco so 8 episodes on a theme was rather attractive.
Well done and an interesting watch. You certainly won't know everything but too me it should have been subtitled 'The year that music changed with a changing world' as that is what they show.
Much of the impetus to music change is societal change rather than vice-versa.7 Alice Coopers out of 10 David Bowies
PS: Nixon is portrayed as a seriously nasty piece of shit. Makes Trump look tame.

yeah that is the kicker isnt it, when these shows are big hits, they try to capitalise on it by making a 2nd season.
I mean even with 1 ep to go, I wondered what they'd do for a whole hour, then last night, I was wondering how they'd use up an hour after finding out what we needed to know in 15 minutes of the extended ep...but again, they made it work.
Turns out Guy was just there to cash his cheque!

Guy was certainly a red herring storyline for viewers though.
Mr nice guy who appears and gets close to the investigator but has a questionable back story then flits off to another small town when the case is 'solved'.

I'm struggling to think of a series in the recent past that had so many credible prime suspects at different stages of the plot. Some of the scenes we saw earlier had a different meaning in light of how everything unfolded in the last episode. It was a well-made TV series.

Was flicking around looking for something to watch last night and started re-watching Banshee from the start.
Man that was a fun series. Almost forgot about the blatant nudity from chicks like this..
Banshee was brilliant. Living proof that small town America has hot chicks with impossible fighting skills and there was not a beating you couldn’t recover from overnight provided you went to Sugars for a few whiskies.

Dark side of the Ring.
Awesome viewing for anyone who was into wrestling in the 80’s and 90s. Real behind the scenes scoops on shit that went down backstage ( Owen Harts Death, Dino Bravos murder, the bizarre relationship between Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth etc etc )
Awesome viewing.

Well I finally finished Shameless USA, man, that was a marathon. Last season lost its way a bit, but still it's given me plenty of hours of enjoyment.
Now into S2 of Mr Inbetween, enjoying so far.
Just saw Mare of E loaded to Foxtel so I'll watch that next - always behind the 8-ball!
