Foreign language: Tehran. Couldn’t be more current - it is an Israeli series about an agent undercover in Iran. I didn’t find it very bias and was just very eye opening and liked characters from both ‘sides’. First two series on Apple TV but series 3 isn’t and was halted due to October 7th etc. Series 3 has aired in Israel though and you can find it elsewhere online. If you like modern day espionage - this is one for you.

Would love to know any other recommendations people have for these types of series? I’m thinking Homeland, Fauda, Day of the Jakal, Deutschland 83, Le Burreau etc.

Homeland is great, with English actors who you wouldn't guess were Brits. Ditto The Wire. Sopranos a classic, the two thugs tempted into a snowy forest in inadequate clothing is a favourite but also the sub-titled Spiral, the Bridge, and the Killing. Under the radar We Hunt Together, Hermione Corfield is gorgeous.

The Spy with Sasha Baron-Cohen excellent in a straight role as an Israeli agent undercover in Syria. Really good.

The second series of Mobland has been given the nod.

The Assembly on ITV. Just watch it.

The Danny Dyer episode is incredible. The song at the end that they all join in on brought a tear to the eye. Not an easy thing to do when I am dead inside.

ValleyGary · June 27

Thank you for suggesting the Assembly, would have gone under my radar.

Danny Dyer is sometimes labelled marmite, but he’s a fucking decent human being.

Can’t decide if the world has changed or he has, every time I see him he comes across so well and seems a genuinely good guy.

Used to think he was a complete dickhead but the more I see of him I have to say he does seem a decent and funny guy.

I've really been enjoying The Gold, although it does feel slightly weird having my childhood era featuring in a period drama. While series 2 is a lot more fictional than series 1, the Charlie Miller character appears to be partly based on Charlie Wilson, who was one of the Great Train Robbers - my Dad used to work with one of his cousins, so recognised some of the elements of his story.
Although while he did lose a couple of million quid of the money, I have my doubts that it was by getting scammed by a pretty woman in an airport lounge bar

I'm close to giving up on s2. I really enjoyed s1 but I'm struggling with some of the new characters and story lines

Another shout of thanks for all the Assembly recommendations.

Looks like Department Q on Netflix is going to be a good watch. Basically a Stuart MacBride novel in visual form. Properly dark Tartan Noir

Up to episode 6 and enjoying it

Quite enjoyed it some of it filmed in Hastings (Isle of Man) and seeing the Millwall fan getting conned and chased was good.

Better sister on Prime is decent & Jessica Biel looks absolutely stunning throughout

Untamed on Netflix - 3 episodes in and really liking it. Eric Bana is good and the scenery etc is stunning. Hopefully keeps it up till the end.

I'm on the second episode and enjoying it. What has tainted it for me is i caught a headline/click bait article comparing it to true detective. Its nothing like True Detective, its beautifully shot, made me shit myself in the opening scene and Eric Bana is awesome but it is not comparable to True Detective

Clem_Snide · July 21

Enjoying the new Dexter on Paramount+. Could have been a disaster but its working pretty well so far.

ValleyGary · July 22

Also watching ‘Smoke’ on Apple TV, with Taron Eggerton. It’s one episode a week, so not sure if it’s that making it feel drawn out or that it’s just slow. There has been some good twists and advise not to research into it until you’ve watched at least the first two episodes (it’s based on a real person).

Been all over this, haven't seen any of the twists coming. Taron Egerton and the station chief who is a sweary Ned Flanders are brilliant. Im glad you have said its based on a real person so I can avoid spoilers

ForeverAddickted · July 22

I'll give this a watch thanks, always been a fan of Egerton... I thought the early reviews weren't impressed

bolloxbolder · July 22

Really enjoying Landman on Paramount. Also thought that the first episode of Untamed was promising

AFKABartram · July 22

Anyone watching Gangs of Milan?

Worth a watch? Like Gomorrah or not?

cheers

Seems like we enjoy watching the same shit, so any suggestions most welcome.

There is a series called Kingdom, set around a family-run MMA gym. Brilliant, anything with Paul Walter Hauser in I'll watch. He's in a series with Taron Edgerton called black bird that I enjoyed. Other notable series I recommend are

Lioness
Mayans MC
The Agency
Slow Horses
Tulsa King
Mayor of Kingstown

Paul Walter Hauser is brilliant... Likewise I'll watch anything he's in, and think he'll be good as Mole Man in Fantastic Four

Watched a film with him staring in called "the Luckiest Man in America" the other week which was really good

I’ve seen BlackBird, Slow Horses and Tulsa King but will check out the others. Half my problem is picking something the missus keeps interest in.
