Gave up on succession.

Terrible people, unlikable characters storyline flip flops a few too many times.

Yeah it's starting to seem pretty shallow to me.

Yep. I am surprised with all the hype around it but each to their own.

I'm finally getting around to watching The Shield. Great so far.

Sensational TV. Wait until the Armenian moneytrain comes along, it's one of the best story arcs I've ever seen

An amazing story arc. I lost touch with the show in the final couple of seasons. I want to go back and watch the final couple of seasons but I am worried it lost its shine.

It really creates a lot of problems for the strike team.

Remember that "oh shit what have we done' look on their faces when they had all the money on the table.

Just started watching Altered Carbon. Has a Blade Runner feel about it not bad so far.

It is like the add with the kid and dad "We're going to need a bigger boat" except "we're going to need a bigger table"

The show was really well cast with the main actors but also extra's and re-occurring extras which lifted the overall quality. I remember reading or hearing that during the first few season's the creator struck gold as Hollywood writers, producers and actors had gone on strike with major networks and studios and to keep money coming in they went and worked on The Shield.

A while ago in was working a shift and the guy in was working with just wanted to watch TV. He was watching a really crappy second rate cop show with Lemonhead from the strike team in it. He looked about 70 and in one scene he had to chase a crim down the street. The scene had so many cutaways that were obviously so the actor could stop and catch his breath. It was a bit tragic actually.

I really liked the first half of it. Some of the dialogue is pretty tough going/ poor quality, but it's a bit of a trade off for story telling and tech I guess.

I've seen Lem in two other shows, Sons of Anarchy and SWAT. I think the show you are referring to might be SWAT.

I know it’s a BBC list but I stopped reading when I saw The Office (UK). It’s like everyone thinks they have this awesome sense of humour by saying the UK version is so much better. Seriously has anyone actually watched the US version?

I thought the UK one was a lot better than the USA one but then I always have had a strong leaning to English humour.

Yep he was in uniform so SWAT sounds about right. The other cop show he was in was a remake of Prime Suspect but he's a plainclothes detective in that.

SWAT is a remake of a '70s show made by Shawn Ryan who created The Shield.
