Yes, have been pleasantly surprised with how I am enjoying the West Wing now too that Mandy has gone. Only on Season 2 but getting close to the end of it. Most of the characters are very likeable, its actually difficult to choose a favourite they are all quite different. I thought I recognised Leo from something else and when I had a look on google he was in LA Law, one of my favourite TV programmes when I was in my 20âs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Tim Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'm going to recommend 2 series again to see if there's any takers this time. Home for Christmas. Norwegian series on Netflix. Better watched with subtitles than dubbed but only 30 minutes per episode. @TDYER63 I think you'll like this one. Ray Donovan. This is on Sky Atlantic On Demand. It's not about the mob but there's lots of similarities to The Sopranos. I'm on the last series of seven and apart from one series have really enjoyed it. As with a lot of series you maybe need to watch a couple before making up your mind. Would be interested in other people's views on either of these.

It is a bit cheesy at times but I dont mind , I am a wee bit soft that way , just so long as its not cringy all the time. I like Donna, she makes me laugh. CJ doing The Jackal was entertaining.  21 minutes ago, Jim Beem said: I agree with tidy, the 'Dutch' guy was pretty bad and sounded a bit like Shteeeve McLaren or Goldmember from Austin Powers ( schmoke and a pehncake) perfectly summed up đ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit cheesy at times but the way they weave the storyline together is so clever it more than makes up for the cheese.  I am not sure what it is about S5 that I am not enjoying quite as much. Covid has affected the filming and because of that they probably cant mix the actors too much and therefore each individual episode is  built more round one of the triplets rather than jumping between the 3 of them which is what I like best. Its ok and I will still watch it, itâs just not as interesting at the moment IMO . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My David is quite good too. Watched the episode last night where Johnny and Moira were buying a car. I can honestly say I havent laughed so much since before I was married đ The tears were actually rolling  down my cheeks . I thought that only happened in movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went from that incredible first season to utter gash bollocks in the second so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 West Wing completed! I felt sad it was over but I get it had reached a natural end. One of the best things I've ever watched without being in my top 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
