I liked Judge John Deed tbf but not sure it qualifies?
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 13 April 2018 15:50 (six years ago) link
I can bear anything with Martin Shaw in it, so disqualified.
― Buff Jeckley (Tom D.), Friday, 13 April 2018 15:54 (six years ago) link
Fair.
Morse hasn't aged well tbh
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 13 April 2018 15:54 (six years ago) link
Scott & Bailey doesn't really fit tho it's an ok show, i want to see toffs murdering each other
haven't watched Banks, nor hardly any of Broadchurch. French and Saunders have permanently rewired the other one as Witless Silence in my head

Well yeah, because he's dead... But y'know what I mean xp

Morse has definitely aged but mostly in quite a cute way imo

Don't know their names but these three (Banks) are all just really good actors. At least in this series.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 13 April 2018 15:56 (six years ago) link
Morse feels too nostalgic for me to take completely seriously these days? Idk maybe that is indeed cute. Simpler times etc
not sure of the one on the left, Stephen Tompkinson in the middle, Doc Marten's wife on the right

i.e. same revolving cast of actors that are in everything.

i don't watch this stuff to be challenged

Same. It's comfort food.

Can't stand that one with Brenda Blethyn in it, dressed all dowdy, though it has got Jon Morrison in it.
― Buff Jeckley (Tom D.), Friday, 13 April 2018 16:00 (six years ago) link
Vera isn't terrible but too seedy again, like most of Frost for that matter
and i kinda like Dalziel and Pascoe against my better instincts, it's basically a celebration of twattery
― you're my luger not my rifle (Noodle Vague), Friday, 13 April 2018 16:01 (six years ago) link
Vera gives lots of actors the chance to "Tak like that, man. I divven't kna what's happened to wor lass, like". And Alun Armstrong isn't even in it.

New Tricks! liked that before all the good actors left/died
― you're my luger not my rifle (Noodle Vague), Friday, 13 April 2018 16:04 (six years ago) link
I can't take Brenda Blethyn's crap Geordie accent
My mum loves it though, and every other show mentioned above. I was wondering whether to recommend Game of Thrones to her (too violent?) until we watched a Silent Witness where a lead character got his skull crushed and his body set on fire
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 13 April 2018 16:07 (six years ago) link
I like the Dalziel and Pascoe books, never saw the show.
I've read most of if not all of the Banks books. Still laughing that one book was about a Mojo writer getting murdered while writing an article about Not At All Syd Barrett.

Roger Allan's solid enough. I've watched very few of them tho, it's not a patch on its 2 companion serieses

endeavour sends me into instant anachronism hives every fucking episode: someone always uses a spoken phrase no one used before 1995

of all the "classic prog rock band gets back together then one of them is murdered" stories in all the brit-tec series, the lewis one is way worst

Endeavour gets better iirc. It’s preferable to Lewis.
― ShariVari, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 23:30 (five years ago) link
i am happily not in the position of being forced to choose
there are v many things that get better that are still better off left id say
