Vikings an all-time authentic tv series Great. Can’t wait for Vikings Valhalla. Fine Tip. ????

Fans of Vikings will probably also be enjoying The Last Kingdom. Production of the fifth (and probably final season) is complete but it is reported that Netflix are delaying release until after Vikings: Valhalla has aired.

"The year is 866, and the Great Heathen Army's arrival in Britain is about to redefine the relationship between Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. Following establishment of Danish rule in Jórvík and East Anglia, the show largely focuses on the resistance of the Kingdom of Wessex to ongoing Viking incursions to Southern England. The story covers about 40–45 years by the end of season 4."

The rest of the seasons are equally as good.

 

Suburra is another good Italian TV series.

 

El Infierno on Netflix, quite a good movie.

Two excellent shows, I agree. Not seen the movie but I'll check it out.

My personal favourite of the Italian gangster genre is Romanzo Criminale (8.5 on IMDb, available on Amazon Prime).

"A criminal known as Lebanese has a dream: to conquer the underworld of Rome. To carry out this feat without precedent he puts together a ruthless and highly organized gang. Their progress and changes in leadership (Lebanese is followed by his cohorts Freddo and Dandi) take place over twenty-five years, from the 1970's into the '90's, and are inseparably intertwined with the dark history of modern Italy: terrorism, kidnappings and corruption at the highest levels of government. Throughout these years Police Lieutenant Scialoia sticks to the gang's trail, trying both to bring them to justice and to win the heart of Dandi's girlfriend Patrizia."

You are losing sleep about comments in a discussion group? Is it negative or positive  comments that cause you insomnia?

Thanks for your concern but my comment about the comment monitor was in jest. I don't recall them commenting on one of my comments yet. Nothing to worry about, they'll never make prefect as they can't keep us delinquent types in order.

I'm really losing a lot of sleep about posting now as we seem to have a acquired self-appointed comment monitor, nevertheless....

I know I'm not alone in having greatly enjoyed the critically acclaimed Vikings historical drama series that finished last year (8.5 on IMDb). The good news is that a sequel series entitled Vikings: Valhalla is coming our way in February.

Follow-up series to 'Vikings' set 100 years afterward and centering on the adventures of Leif Erikson, Freydis, Harald Hardrada and the Norman King William the Conqueror.

Season 3 of The Bay has been released. It's on TVC now and I expect it to hit other usual places in the next few days.

"A crime drama set in Morecambe, following Detective Sergeant Lisa Armstrong who works for the West Lancashire Police Service. A fresh take on crime, whereby tension arises not only from the investigations, but from Lisa’s lies and internal conflicts."

I was giving as an example if the 'permission of stay hadn't expired'. Has/ had the 'permission' expired?

That is unknown to all except for the agent, hence us both using "if". 

I'm inclined to agree with those who suspect that this is a fabricated story though.

Now there's a word I haven't heard for a long time.

...and the return of a few other decent series (IMHO) this month:

The final season of "Lost in Space" came out a few weeks ago. It really is a children's story, but if you have been following the series, this final season brings a good conclusion to the whole series.

 

 

I watched the original series as a small kid - and the remake as a big kid.

Thanks for posting as we liked this and I thought it had been cancelled after season 2.
