I suppose man-on-man combat between the 2 principles during a shield wall battle was... inevitable

Going to re-watch easily the best single military/army show ever created, Generation Kill.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Would you rate GK above Das boot? Band of Brothers?
And i'm leaving out stuff like Rome (too ancient?) or Generation War (more war than military related).
D,P. the korean one, is military (not war) related and it's pretty dam good, too.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I really enjoyed GK when I watched it, but wouldn't put it on a level with Band of Brothers
Need to rewatch it, been about a decade since I've seen it - same goes for Rome, actually, loved that

 

[Ddanno]

I only watched Band of Brothers recently. It's very good but I couldn't watch more than one and maybe another half episode in a row. There's only so much shouting and gunfire I can tolerate.

Definitely going to give it a rewatch now that I have a vague handle on who some of the characters are

If you want to watch a new show, as opposed to rewatching BoB, we could put my superpower to the test: 5 questions (to help me guide the answer accordingly) and i guarantee i can recommend a show you havent watched AND that you will like. Two caveats tho: doesn't work if you cant tolerate subtitles (English speaking ones limit my answers) and i cant help you finding where to watch the show. I mean netflix, hbo, etc. I cant/don't recall that.
0% failure rate so far.

I want to watch a police based drama starring AWJ and Tipuric as a crime fighting duo.

Ugly and the Pipsqueak
Soft on crime, softer on the rugby pitch

Coming to ITV4 this fall

Watched the entirety of Video Nasty on a plane today. It’s a BBC/RTE joint production and actually very decent. Have to assume we have the Beeb to thank for it actually being decent. Nice concise horror comedy story, not too heavy. Some half assed attempts at covering racism, anti-Irish sentiment, homosexuality, but it’s mostly about satanic panic.

Also started watching Small Town, Big Story’s, another largely Irish show I think by Sky, which Chris O’Dowd is heavily involved in. Very interesting concept, quite funny and well acted, but not sure where it’s going or if they can stick the landing.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Chris Robshaw appearing on Strictly.

For his partner’s sake I hope he doesn’t get to the stage where they allow lifting….he’ll just call it wrong.

Isn't there already a film starring Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels already depicting them ?

Just finished Reacher S3

Really enjoyed it. You know what you're getting with it and it delivered
S1 still the best, for me, but another solid addition

 

[BrokenWing]

S2 was the weakest so far. The whole “you don’t mess with the special investigators” made me want to curl up in a ball.

 

[McTallshort]

Watching confessions of a steroid gang on BBC 3 really interesting

 

[AlRums]

S2 was the weakest so far. The whole "you don't mess with the special investigators" made me want to curl up in a ball.

If I remember rightly, that phrase was their unit motto when they were in the army. I don't think it's particularly well explained in the TV series.

The constant motto quoting seems to be a peculiarity of the Americans.

 

[BrokenWing]

Yeah, I’ve read the books and know where it comes from. It just sounds incredibly cringeworthy said out loud.

Good reviews for the King of the Hill revival have me wondering what could've been if The Simpsons ended 500 seasons ago and came back now with the characters aged up.
