The NZA Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 BBC has the first episode here - gonna watch tonight, cause psych horror + anyone from the Wire + music by massive attack piques my interest. anyone checked this out/heard anything yet?

Jables Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The Wiki solicit doesn't entice me, Idunno if I'm sick of the genre or what but I grew up with Colombo and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but can't seem to enjoy these kind of things lately. Not even Castle could bring me back to the fold. Post your impressions once you've watched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 a year late, but because JZA demaned it finally got around to the first episode, after LL was on about recent episodes...it's a cool concept, but even then, Idris carries this. Dude's just an intersting actor, should've known as much since the Wire - anyone else finally check this one out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I watched the first series as it was on over here, but was never all that impressed with it beyond Idris' performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Still unwatched in my Netflix queue after a year. It's there solely based on the fact it stars Idris Elba. Doesn't sound like priority viewing form what I'm reading here though. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 halfway through season 2, and shit's good..ill get LL to post on this one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) just finished season 2, all caught up - looking back, this has a lot've the elements i look for in noir, so i (and Sen) rather enjoyed it. apparently Idris' twitter says they're looking at starting season 3 in a bit, which is awesome..i think since it's 4-6 episodes, this BBC format lets him keep any movie commitments he has, apparently you can shoot that in around a month or so. anyway, pretty enjoyable stuff, and it's not overly long either.

Mr. Hakujin Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Just came in to rave about the first two episodes of S1 and Nick had to put up a spoilery gif. For someone who bitches about written spoilers in the Breaking Bad thread five years after the fact, he sure is itchy on the ol' gif trigger finga there. Anyway, starting into S1E3 now. Y'all have severely undersold this show. The first two episodes alone were better than most detective-thriller films or TV shows I've seen in recent memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 SPOILER: Luther has poor temper, will break things & strike people throughout much of the show also, a thread where DoJ & i talk about a short show no one else is watching =/= a 5 season show half of america is on about on facebook/etc, come on glad you're digging it though, it goes places at the season's end and 2 is of course crazier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Between Nicholas and Netflix I don't even know why I bother-- I accidentally scrolled over the wrong box on Netflix and I read: As John continues to try and get over his ex-wife's death... Episode three was good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just finished S2E1. Um, WTF!?! RIPLEY!!!!!! And he's helping Alice escape the loony bin? This does not bode well. My goal is to finish S2 before Isaac takes out the Internet. Shouldn't be too hard w/ only 3 more episodes to go. Will probably watch S2E2 tonight...

Mr. Hakujin Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just finished S2... I liked the fact they were both two-parters and his personal life w/ Jenny was the thread throughout the season. I did not like how it ended w/ Jenny though; it was just kinda blah. Nice touch ending it w/ the same line as S1. Also didn't like there were only 4 episodes! I did like how the friendship w/ Alice progressed. I hope we find out more about her--had she killed before her parents? Why'd she kill them in the first place? Maybe take Luther out of London and he has to help Alice out of a bad spot in Morocco or something. Definitely looking forward to more episodes. I also may have to read Neil Cross' book. It's supposedly the prequel to S1. Sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I fucking always do this to myself! I start getting into a show. Start loving it. And so I need to read everything about it. IMDB. Wikipedia. Anything. Everything! Except, of course, spoilers on Hondos. You can put four hundred spoilers and I will never click one before I'm caught up. But fucking IMDB and Wikipedia! FUCK!! I spoiler myself... every time. Smh. Pisses me off. Makes me want to stop watching. And this show is so damn good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Dude. There's only 10 episodes. Why you gotta do research on it? Just watch the damn series! But don't read those damned Netflix episode summary info boxes either. They did me wrong on some S1 spoilers. I mean wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 didn't know about the prequel thing, haku - nice find. as for Alice...i personally dug her too but i was glad to see her go, she was too much of a walking deus ex for him you know? and i really don't expect to get much more on why she offed her parents than that "super narcissitic sociopath was pushed too hard all her life and snapped" that they basically gave. i think i liked the Leon-esque relationship with Jenny cause her life/family thing was so fucked, and Luther taking her in knowing it'd kind've doom him with the mob...that shit was so noir, it hink it was the angle that made me really go for the show, brought it all home for me. if that didn't click though i think she'dve just been kind've annoying, but she did good killing that punk anyway HAHAHAHA PANCH THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR ILL CLICKING DISCIPLINE MY FRIEND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 ep 1 (of 4) of the 3rd season is out! anyone else watching? shit was gooooood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yeah, I'm looking forward to next week. I'm glad someone else is watching I reckon that one Luther crashed into isn't all she seems to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks for the heads up, Nick. I'll likely wait to have them all DL'd and do a marathon since it's only 4 episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So, that episode kicked ass. Was really nice and almost heartwarming to see Ripley talk up Luther to the investigator and basically tell them to go fuck themselves, only for Luther to realise he kinda pissed all over that trust. Will be interesting to see where it goes in the next episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
