There is a series from a little while back called The Patriot (two seasons)...it is superb. Very very unique, a fair hint of the Wes Andersons in it, great writing and characters, a total hidden gem.

OK Steff. I salute you. I'm 4 episodes in and it's just hilarious but in the classy unintended way. So good.

Brilliant recommendation. I've got post Silo blues. This is helping
 
Mobland is in a different league to The Gentlemen. Would be interesting to know who/what makes the difference, as both are created and co-directed by Guy Richie. Judging by the cast, Mobland has a bigger budget.
 
Mobland is tosh but it gets away with it because of the high production values, i enjoyed the first season - i haven't watched The Gentleman series so can't compare.


Finally got round to watching the first episode of Furious - looks like it could live up to the hype

...it gets better and better IMO...the lead actress is excellent.

I'd classify The Gentleman as a classic Guy Richie gangster comedy/drama romp whereas Mobland is just a drama...darker and more sinister.

Both need taking with a healthy grain of salt but are enjoyable for what they are. Don't expect any Emmy's or BAFTA's though.

I'm just the one episode in as well, and I think it's going to be good!

4 episodes into the second season of the Pitt as well. I liked the first season but couldn't shake the similarities to the original ER series. BUT I think I'm over that now:)...it really is excellent, the range of characters and the subjects it expertly deals with.

Furious really was pretty special. My only issue was I assumed it was a mini series. As I read nothing on it till I'd finished.

So well written. Rossum is incredible. As are all the cast.

Tried to stsrt season 2 of gentleman and stopped at 15 minutes. It was just silly.

Agree with Billy that Mobland is tosh. It's mindless violence but it's watch while ya scroll stuff.
 
I could not stand the Gentleman, was just Richie Parody stuff, Mobland was better but mindless violence as said.

Delighted that Kin is coming back for series 3, that was very very good
 
PS If anyone can advise how better to make use of my old Firestick please DM me. 🥸

How old is it? Age is a virtue in that the most recent models don’t allow developer mode to be accessed, which essentially makes them useless, but anything over a few years might not have enough room for the stack one requires these days to access all the content one wants.

My current setup is Kodi, Umbrella, Magneto and Premiumize. The last is a paid torrenting service and fairly expensive at IIRC £80 per year, but nothing like the cost of a subscription to anything legitimate. The others all have plausible deniability as piracy enablers, because they don’t work as such unless integrated with other applications.

It is difficult when you're watching an excellent TV series (or just finished watching)...it raises your standards, and anything new you dive into has to live up to those standards...so easy to sack it off as meh.

Think the 'scrolling' thing is a good guage.....'if I'm scrolling, I shouldn't be watching ' !
