It was all good right up until Joni's stupid fucking bitch mouth started running, I actually feel bad that she turned me off the show, I mean both her and quarry did shitty things, he went back to 'Nam when he didn't have to because civvie life was hard and she cheated on him, let's not even get into the domestic hitman angle but don't you fucking DARE try to make him feel bad for have a one night stand after you not only fucked some guy while he was away but also recorded it like some kind of sick pervert.

>>80920324
This show could have faired far better in the hands of Showtime or even HBO. I only watched it because Banshee was also a Cinemax production and had the same writers.

Showtime's Brotherhood

I didn't find this off /tv/ but I wanna mention it anyway. It's pretty much an Irish version of The Sopranos, with a bit of The Wire too. The two main actors, Jason Isaacs and Jason Clarke are great. It's a shame it was cancelled after 3 seasons, but I can't really say anything as I'm only just watching it now. Apparently it was one of the 4 Showtime signature shows, along with Dexter, Weeds, and Californication. I haven't seen the latter two, but it is definitely much better than Dexter. Enjoying it greatly so far.

>>80920637

i agree. it reminded me a lot of the film "shame" with fassbender. i just wish soderbergh would have directed a few episodes like he did with the knick. this guy has kino running through his veins.
what are your other top 5 shows?

>>80922104
first episode of season 2 was god-tier though. one of the best episodes of any tv-show ever probably...
the rest of season 2 was forgettable though.

quarry is the best drama ive watched in a long time. so many people on here think the leftovers is the best drama currently airing, but that show is just false, the foundation for all the drama in the show is lost-tier mysterious bullshit.

quarry felt genuine

Edge of Darkness
Berlin Alexanderplatz
The Prisoner
The Shield

if not counting mini-series, its

The Prisoner
The Shield

If you haven't already you should watch the films by Lodge Kerrigan, he is an amazing director. Clean, Shaven and Keane are personal favorites, and Claire Dolan is pretty much a precursor to The Girlfriend Experience.

>>80920637

This really did deliver. Episode 7 was some of the most unnerving television I've ever seen.

vice principals is a great pleb filter. it's crazy how all the critics didn't get it at all and gave it a bad score because the humour was "too mean".
i guess they couldn't stand two white males working together to take down a proud black woman.

>that episode when gamby gets the black principal blackout drunk and russell films her entire bender as she pisses on a police car
that episode was dark as fuck

also, pic related, who do you guys think did it?
i believe it was russell, that guy was playing gamby from the start and pretends to be his friend, he's sociopathic as fuck...

>>80923603
yeah i read it's some kind of calcium deposit

>>80923603
i'm sure it would be possible to remove that fucking thing, aesthetic medicine can do anything now...
it's really hard to watch him act with that mount everest in his face.
does it annoy you too or am i just too autistic?

two of my favorite shows right now are Billions and Kingdom

/tv/ doesn't watch either of those

Big props to her, I really liked her character as it explanded more, not to mention Gamby's complete look of "oh fuck why did I do this", he was actually beginning to relate to her problems with family and such and then on top of that she mentions how she's a recovering alcoholic, not to mention that even as tryhard as both of them were in their school duties they honestly had a love for teaching and their students, meanwhile Russell was a guy willing to sabotage his own team to get head.

the one thing the critics missed was how everybody in the show was damaged and capable of being an asshole but they all had their vulnerabilities, including her.

>>80923881
yeah, i felt sorry for her too as the show progressed and they fucked her life up completely.
russell truly is a cold and ruthless manipulator.
he was genuinely happy seeing her at her worst... i'm sure it was him who shot gamby in the stomach...

Critics didn't like Vice Principals? Other than the horrible idea for the field trip episode so early into the show which had almost zero Lee (best character) I think it was pretty damn perfect. Thank god they've already filmed both seasons so we know no amount of no-name "critics" writing "articles" can stop HBO from finishing it.

>Russell shot Gamby
First off, amazing fucking suckerpunch. The car on fire was already pretty crazy enough, but for a show with no life threatening violence to just blast a main character at the end was brilliant. That said no, I highly doubt it was Russell, way too obvious. Also not very much like his character, Russell is likely a sociopath, he wouldn't do something so loud and direct.

>>80924219
>Also not very much like his character, Russell is likely a sociopath, he wouldn't do something so loud and direct.
maybe he hired someone to do it? i really don't believe that the black principal was behind it...
who else could do that to gamby? maybe the blonde teachers ex boyfriend, the history teacher?

>>80923727
it's weird because I have NO IDEA who the shooter is. Usually fans can figure stuff out but I haven't seen any obvious clues or good fan theories.

I do not think it was Russell.

>Critics didn't like Vice Principals?

the usual media outlets got fanny flustered about two white males engineering a plot to ruin a strong black woman, they must think the actress had a gun to her head to take the role, and they just completely overlooked some of the scummy things she did as well as what her true life was like at home, which weren't even really out of malice but trying to make a decent first impression.

they just saw statistics and not actors playing their roles.

Also best character coming though, fukken Ray!

>>80924219
>Other than the horrible idea for the field trip episode so early into the show which had almost zero Lee (best character)
i actually liked the field trip episode, it was great seeing how the other teachers react to gamby and how much of a loner he is amongst his colleaues... although i agree that i missed goggins' presence in that episode

shea whigham is so fucking underrated. what a great actor. He should be in every good show, his bit part in True Detective was fantastic too. seeing how a badass guy like ray still tries to get along with gamby after all the verbal abuse out of genuine love for the daughter is heart wrenching, and him admitting that he'll never have a true connection to the daughter because he's not the real father almost made me cry...
i fucking hate terence winter for finishing boardwalk empire the right way, i would have loved to see another season of Eli's shenanigans in Chicago with Van Alden...

>>80920324
I watch it on 1.3x speed and haven't picked it up after the gun buy shootout, even though it was decent. I dunno why, maybe I'm afraid it'll turn to shit and disappoint me.

>>80924576

>and him admitting that he'll never have a true connection to the daughter because he's not the real father almost made me cry...

Really good scene, he was also broken up about her riding accident too, and at the same time Gamby realized he's a bit too overprotective and overcompensates in his family life and job. Gamby ultimately isn't a bad or spiteful person, but he wants to fit in really bad.

There's some stuff in the episodeswhen they burn down the house where he's like "I don't want to do this because I will lose control here" and you hear like a battlefield noises which makes me think he has PTSD from some past experience that fucked him up in his younger years.

>>80926740
what can i say, there's not much good minis 2016-2017. i only exclusively watch minis now for quality, even Quarry if renewed would drop quality beyond a third season. im still having withdrawal syndrome from Wolf Hall and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, those will never get talked about enough and it's a drama drought out there.

>>80926618
only seen taboo and the night of.
"the night of" is crimekino. sadly it was barely talked about last summer.
how did they get away with making the murderer a jew though? also that fucking line made me lose my sides: "wanna do jew time? do a jew crime!"
maybe HBO should just focus on miniseries instead of long running drama shows. show me a hero and the young pope especially were glorious.
i could give a shit about westworld and GoT. the leftovers ist the only good show they got left and they are already finishing it after only three seasons...

D83 is very colorful, has lighthearted moments and genuine tension, very rich backdrop.

LP is dark, man, and it has constant crime and interpol patter that I love for the immersion, its criminal beat is transeurope, shots in Yugo are bleak, a tour of a collapse. Watched it for a Tinker, Tailor fix.

dropped this around 3 or 4 episodes in

not on purpose or anything just forgot about it. should I pick it back up? I remember liking the little dude that hes working with

>>80926917
last panthers was pretty good but very slow paced. I kind of stopped watching after ep. 3 because I couldn't get anyone else to watch something "subtitled" with me. :/

>>80927213
The Alfredson film. Caveat bro, nothing in its genre will top TTSS so don't go into LP expecting that same quality again, but yeah think of the series as Jim Prideaux workname Ellis' extended tour of Soviet Hungary except it's in Yugo and bit more faster paced. Oh yeah, use subs.

Try the Honorable Woman as well. If you liked The Wire give Romeo Section a go, it's about the Canadian Intel Service's attempts to penetrate the Vancouver triad heroin trade..

It's about the creation of the CIA and the cold war. a very nuanced film that you need to watch closely. i guess that's the movie you were looking for if you looked for something like Tinker...

Now i'm excited too. I really hope this will be crimekino.
Hossein Amini's scripts are usually very good. i believe he's the reason Drive is the only great Refn film. Refn's visuals and Amini's laconic dialogue combined amounted in a cult classic.
Refn is a full-on-autist, that's why his films look perfect but the dialogue and storytelling is mostly atrocious since he can't hold a proper conversation with anyone. The bad dialogue always prevents his other films from being great.
Even Mads mikkelsen said he can't talk to him outside of a filmset.

not at all. it hasn't any SJW-propaganda and the main character isn't portrayed as a stronk womyn who don't need no man. she's actually really autistic and has to live with the consequences of her degenerate lifestyle
watch it bro. great visuals, riley keoughs tight body (the redhead chick from mad max fury road) and efficient writing. it's unlike any tv-show i've seen in a long time.
