who cares? most of the weed in coffe shops is over priced sprayed shit. we get better in the uk! :)

Agree mate most shops gone to shit nowadays grow better weed my self

They have tried that before and epically failed.

I’m certain some parts of Amsterdam have this policy, I had pals working somewhere in Holland and needed Dutch ID to Evan enter a cafe! They had to hang outside and try get locals to buy for them! Then it was the low THC content were cafes are forbidden to sell weed over certain strength.

The city will be nothing without the tourists. This is crazy..I hope the plug remains open because that's the cali spot haha <3

Thanks to LB and the great quality of greenery for sale on here Amsterdam is now just another metropolitan city that I might revisit. However were they to rescind tourists ability to smoke the herb they will merely be “cutting off their nose to spite their face”!

As a grandad I grew up in in the 80s and 90s when the main staple of any toker was hash. If we were lucky once in a while we could score some what was known as “bush weed” similar to Thai. O and if we were REALLY lucky we could get some skunk but that was rare as hens teeth.

Oh how times have changed!

Stay safe Biggaz!

you'd think the legalised sex slavery would be of greater concern than coffee and weed but to each their own.

Would be a sad day but like you said they have threatened it enough times before.
They would 100% feel it with a reduction in Weed tourist's.

I'm roughly twice a year on average.
Still you can grow just as good green if you try hard

I feel the same I always wanted to visit purely for the smoke but now it seems pretty pointless when we have LB :)

You would think they would ban the prostitution first but “hey ho”. Pun intended.

I live in holland and there not a chance they will ban tourists from coffeeshops every so often they come up with this but it will never pass through government they make to much in taxes and most dutch dont even use coffeeshops they to expensive

It's not the nicest of places, most dealers are out to rip people off, Holland however is an amazing country, getting flower hash and shrooms in Rotterdam and ending up fishing on a carp lake in france with no recollection of how i got there was one of the best trips :)

Lol. That must of been fun

I drove to Dam once for 2 nights, done aload of shrooms the 1st night and couldn't leave my hotel. Drove home the next day with a block of hash the size of my fist

Ha Ha good to know you got away with a souvenir. I remember the girl in the shop saying what ever you do, don't eat the whole bag, so ofcourse i did which is why i didn't catch any fish, i was with a group of mates and to this day none of us can remember how we got to france and managed to borrow some fishing gear, been to Holland many times since, i love the people and the vibe but not the straight roads, no good for biking..

Well that would be a damn shame if it ever came to fruition...

The nostalgia I get from visting Amsterdam is half the magic!

In recent years the quality has fallen to keep up with demand, now its the complete opposite.

-SMONKEY

First time I went to the Dam I loved it and had a great time. Every time since then, whenever I go, I just think I should take the money I spent on a flight and somewhere to stay and spend it in the UK on a couple of Os. Then I could sit in the comfort of my own home, without the associated knobs that seem to be a permanent fixture in the Dam and enjoy myself.

Maybe I'm just old.

Everyone should do the Dam at least once though.

I ignore The Guardian. If a piece of news doesn't fit in with their rhetoric, they ignore it or use scare tactics. They've been completely wrong about everything that's happened over the last five years. It won't happen.

Yeah. Sadly it's quite likely this time around. When I was there in February last year, speaking with staff in a few coffeeshops, this was a huge concern. Now that covid has paved the way for a new world....I think it might happen. I will still go to amsterdam for my regular visits, though. The city is incredible ♡

Peep Show

might even see me make a cameo or two

The secret ingredient is crime!!!!

I’ve just run to Windsor

Just started watching 'Spaced' again.

I'm 40 now so it is my generation, but it's really good!

(yup showing my age)

It's on all4. Along with Peep Show (which yeah i like too!)

Don't judge me!

Haha

Cheers BB

I'm in the middle of re-watching Spaced and felt like I had to scroll for hours to find somebody who finally mentioned it! xD

Well I’ll judge you... if I could give 2 upvotes I would, agree with you totally, 2 of my fave ever shows, making me think of hitting Spaced up again...

Thank you - you just reminded me I need to re-watch spaced again!

I was too old for it even back then, but the clever references still tickle me all these years later..

Oh my god I've got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket. :-)

Hahaha, we've all been there!

The Wire
The Ozark
Altered Carbon
Arrested Developement
People Just Do Nothing
Peep Show
Trailer Park Boys
Big Mouth
Fargo
Life On Mars
Dark Tourist
The Wolves Of Yellowstone
Utopia
It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia
Homeland
The Killing

The End Of The Fucking World

This is what I can think of right now; definitely more to add. If anyone wants a little review/opinon or rundown on any of these shows let me know, more than happy. Also let me know what you're in the mood for, or usually like to watch and I can fire back with recommendations

Ah fuck it, nothing better to do, haha

The Wire - best thing ever written. Slow burner due to complication of story, but it is relatable as the war on drugs does not have a start or end to it, and street dealing doesn't just start, therefore you are immediately immersed in the story without even realising. Only figured that out the second time watching it. Also some great visual metaphors throughout. Also note there is no cue music to instigate feelings. All music is from source, i.e. car radio, night club. Only cue music is when Avon enters the lowrisers for the first time

The Ozark - Although breaking bad is good, it's not worth the hype. This is the older cooler brother of breaking bad. Calculated and intense at times. Story is always moving forward with real character progression

Altered Carbon - Absolutely fantastic sci-fi with great visuals and a great story line. Really left me itching to read the book, and I'm not a sci-fi fan

Arrested Development - Intelligent comedy with so much layered jokes you can watch this five times and still find punch lines you never noticed before

People Just Do Nothing - Threw this on not expecting much which is perhaps why I found it to be so good. Off the wall characters made completely believable by the actors playing the parts. Excellent idea, excellent execution.

Peep Show - This is a classic, you need to watch this

Trailer Park Boys - Another classic everyone here should be able to relate to

Big Mouth - Great for a background watch, but really funny and does take you back to your teenage years at times, haha

Fargo - Beautiful cinematography, great story captured very close to the original film. Billy Bob absolutely shines in this role in season one

Life On Mars - Made in early naughties, but just as relevant as today

Dark Tourist - good short run of a different kind of travel show. The kind of travel I like too

The Wolves Of Yellowstone - Nature documentary that has a story line Walt Disney would be proud of. Really makes you realise the balance of nature

Utopia - Such an underrated British TV series

It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia - Great zany show about dysfunctional friends who live in their own world, and drink in their own pub causing all kinds of ridiculous antics

Homeland - Great series that will always have you wondering what, or who is next

The Killing - Only recommend the first seasons. It drags you along on the witch hunt convincing you you know the answer

Punisher - About time they stuck to the gritty comic. Refreshing that this i not aimed at kids and fattening wallets.

The End Of The Fucking World - Two out there teens who decide to adventure together with, maybe, disastrous consequences

Peep show one of my all time favs and can't to wrong with arrested development what a classic

Sad that they never manager to run the show normally... And probably we won't se another season ever :( love arrested development

If you enjoyed Breaking Bad, then give Better Call Saul a go. I always thought he stole every scene he was in during Breaking Bad.

Gomorrah if you dont mind subtitles, its an Italian crime show set in Naples. Simply brilliant.

Murphys law
Stargate universe, SG1, Atlantis
Firefly
The Expanse
Oz
Banshee
Person of interest
The shield
Hetty Wainthropp investigates

Gomorrah is the shit man, one of my all time favs
Oz is a downer but an awesome show

Ozark
Better call Saul
The wire
Boardwalk empire
Sopranos

Just watched Gangs of London which was banging
Chernobyl was a masterpiece

Yean Gomorrah is probably my number 1 show, the setting, actors, story... superb. Cant wait to watch the Ciro Di Marzio movie too.

Wow I didn’t even know that was a thing? When’s that out?

L'Immortale or the Immortal is the name, was out last year in Italy. Have tried to find out when its out in the UK but no joy yet

Nice one man, I’ll deffo keep my eyes open for that one.

Its on sky atlantic now mate, its certainly worth a watch an sets up the next season of Gomorrah nicely

Better call saul is must after braking baf.

100% but do you think you could watch them the other way round and it’s all still as good? As I really do, integrated them amazingly well.

Watched breaking bad, thought it was good, maybe a little over hyped, better call saul never really appealed to me, maybe I should try the 1st few episodes.

Cheers

I think it is better than braking bad

Yeah I agree, I liked BB a lot but I came to it a bit late and like UKgrower hearing the hype maybe expected too much. Better call Saul I didn’t expect much of at all, didn’t think it’d get past Series 1 but now I think it’s better than BB.

Defo watch Saul.
Really new is Gangs of London, not too bad. The fight scenes are brutal.

Dark on Netflix. German show about time travel set in a village where kids keep going missing every 33 years. Stunning production values, really intricately plotted, three series, all ties together. Loved it. Has an English dub but the German audio with subtitles is best.

Dark is a masterpiece. Watching S2 whilst really baked was transcendent

End of the fucking world is really good. Strange and offbeat which I like. With some characters that don’t give a fuck. And it’s British and very relatable (even though it’s about a lad that thinks he’s a psychopath haha).

Literally just finished watching brassic 2 and Save me Too. Both class. Surely everyone on here has watched Brassic.....!!!?

I do, doesn't quite hit the levels that Shameless did back in the day but still a lot of fun. Plus it's good to hear actual accents on TV instead of just American lol

The Wire ...

Best show ever made.

Hum.....

this man knows.....

My favourite show of all time is Bojack Horseman, trust me, give it a chance

Rick & morty puts any animated series in a corner sorry :p

Yo UK Grower. I have just discovered Channel Zero on StarZplay, prime add on. It’s a really good horror series, twisted stuff, defo a bit freaky.

Mindhunter on Netflix.

Still Game

If you're into Sci-fi I'd highly recommend Altered Carbon on Netflix. Really cool story and visuals. I seen somebody recommended Ozark, excellent as well. If you like animation and feel like a laugh give Rick and Morty a watch, The Midnight Gospel is also new to Netflix but really trippy / funny in my opinion. Happy watching!

The Wire
Money Heist
Animal Kingdom
Community
Designated Survivor

Try Ozark starring Jason Bateman, a new family twist on Breaking Bad!

second that, 1st season had me couch locked. No pun.

I've just started this... it's not bad at all
Cheers

Have you ever watched Travellers? (if you was a fan of stargate back in the day this will interest you) or if your a sci fi fan, Very good story telling and actors (Canadian)

Another one for the list, cheers.

Just spotted the Ricky Garvacie ( sp ) afterlife season 2 is out, thought the 1st series was decent, so that's another to easy the lock down shit TV

*The Queen's Gambit- short series (one season only) but good storyline
*Lie To Me
*The Mentalist
*Sherlock

Ozark

Orphan black! one of my favourites.. the wire.. Russian doll..cynical,funny. end of the fucking world. Money heist.. prison break..cleverly written. Better call Saul if you enjoyed breaking bad.

Rick and Morty and weed is my favourite combination. Snoop dog’s talk show on YouTube is hilarious to watch as-well.
I find American horror story hilarious, but only when I’m high, otherwise it’s pretty terrifying lol.

Films : seven psychopaths is a must watch, requiem for a dream and pulp fiction, all time faves. and I did write a detailed review and much more but it was deleted :/

If you want a Change and a Tons of one line bombs to drop at work or with your mates there is only one place to go
"Letter Kenny" it will almost make you want to live there
10ply/Sally/Hard No and Bonny McMurryyyyyyyyyyyyyy

And if you want some of the best swearing on telly "The Thick of IT" / In The Loop
You will never watch a MP without Laughing again The Thick of it is almost a Documatary
Malcom Tucker is a
Best name calling every "Fuckbob Shitpants"

Sorry about the spelling
I am just dislexick @is there a strain that will help with this???

Top Boy. Absolute banger. Uk breaking bad/scarface perhaps.

Sex Education and The Last Kingdom both great series and well worth a look.

Loved Last Kingdom!

The haunting of hill house is really good and also bone chillingly scary!

To any one who likes comedies don't be put off What We Do in the Shadows, it's vampires but it's not really a "vampire" type show.... it's really funny when high and the second series has just come out on iplayer.

Midnight Gospel. It's like a dmt trip mixed with a podcast. Amazing stuff

Since it hasn’t been mentioned here , it only proves how massively underrated Wilfred is . Had great laughs :) U.S. version of an Australian cult sitcom about a meek young man and a pot-smoking talking dog named Wilfred (actually actor Jason Gann in a dog suit, whom everyone else sees as just a dog). Won’t spoilt it anymore

One of the best series of all time imo.

Never heard of this until i saw it here. +1.

money heist and elite on netflix

Money heist was dope

Get the amazon Prime free trial and watch Picard, star trek spin off - it's really good, not what you expect.

Ye, watched all of this eventhough I've never watched any of star trek series originals... thought it was very good

Ya watch the wire

Omar

“All in the game yo, all in the game.”

Leftovers is a fave of mine, also the outsider or undone, Enjoy!!

Leftovers was fucking epic, another one I forgot about, that shit was a headfuck

I'll take a look, willing to give anything a go

Cheers

Karaoke on 4OD. Mindblowing

I'll take a look, see if it takes my fancy

Cheers

the wire!!!!!

Dexter
Sopranos
Line of duty
Sons
Safe

And sneaky pete on prime

also i love disco/history/natgeo... skin walker ranch program on at the mo is interesting. history but avail on catchup bro

Stranger Things Season 1 - 80's themed sci-fi thriller with endearing characters that had me on the edge of my seat throughout.

True Detective Season 1 - Basically an 8 hour movie that oozes quality. Pacing/cinematography/acting/dialogue are all A++ for me.

Trailer Park Boys - Get baked, watch this, laugh your arse off.

Peep Show - Clever and hilarious.

Sopranos, the Wire and Band of Brothers.

Band of Brothers is a masterpiece, great shout! Any recommendations of war films/series that are similar mate?

Trailer Park Boys should be perfect for everyone on here, given the enormous amount of smoking and growing throughout!

line of duty . Luther

Emmerdale or Loose Women. The News at ten is good too.

the queens gambit!

Gomorrah

just call Saul was better than breaking bad in some ways (last series a bit disappointing tho). Always interested to see if people liked the Midnight Gospel (single series, animation, also Netflix).

Inside No 9 amazing too, on iPlayer

Ifyou seen BB, definitely watch Better Call Saul.
Comedy? The Office US and then Parks n Recreation. Or maybe Shameless US? Little Britain it's always great company.
If you seen Broadwalk E, you probably have seen the sopranos. If not its a MUST! Ive been watching House of Cards and it's quite nice too.
Maybe 6 feet under, Weeds, Dexter, Chuck, My name it's Earl??
Cience? COSMOS!!! A mind blowing and mind opening cience series. Everyone should watch it before they die. Either the original and first with Carl Sagan (it might not have the best visual representations but Carl its Carl) or the new Neil Tyson.
In to some stand ups? George Carlin is a must, the young Carlin to the old political Carlin.
I would also like to give a shout out to my Spanish Fellows on THE Money Heist.

Cobra kai is pretty good if you enjoyed the original film series

This. It’s fucking incredible! 30 years and above are in for a treat.

If you have Netflix Murder Mountain is good, it about growers in the emerald triangle

Undone is good and trippy with the animation style it uses and pretty unique story to boot.

You (season 1). Solid watch but latest series was a waste of time.

The new Unsolved Mysteries series on Netflix is a good watch so far.

Hey man some good series I watched recently was:
The Originals
Vikings
Battle star galactica (the remake series)
The man in the high castle
The Magicians
Got a load more but too stoned to list!!!
Hope that helps a little 8)

Blake's 7
On the buses
3rd rock from the sun
It ain't half hot mum
Curry and chips
And my favourite Till death us do part
Them last 3 May not be very PC but still good stuff.

Succession - perfect casting brilliant script
Messiah - it's not what you think

Black Monday , so off key guaranteed hard core laughing
Legit , so not pc. Jim Jeffries stars
Black Jesus , stonehead Jesus extremely funny

I can't believe nobody has said Broad City, it's had me in tears of laughter at times, couldn't recommend it more.

The strain 5 season. And fargo 3 stand alone saison

Mindhunter on Netflix.

True Detective season 1
The Last Dance
Gangs of London
The Punisher
Sopranos

Been reccomend "The last Dance" as a real good watch

Oh and Murder mountain about Humboldt's marijuana farms

Definitely check out Murder Mountain on Netflix. Also "Upload" on AMZ Prime.

Bobs burgers is a laugh when baked
El chapo if you can be bothered reading subs
SWAT
Gangs of London
Sons of anarchy
Mr Pickles - YouTube it

Silicon Valley 2014 is 10/10

So sad they cancelled it...

- Happy! - two seasons so far
- year of the rabbit
- avenue 5 - silly, but really reflects the reality (nobody knows what they are doing literally).
- american gods
- miracle workers
- self made: inspired by the life of madam cj walker
- when they us - man, this one is strong.
- for life

Lots of good suggestions & Sopranos is also great. If you have Netflix then Orange Is The New Black is available & also Weeds from the same writer; both a bit different... ;-)

Into the Night on Netflix

Braindead (2016)

A government employee learns that the cause for the disputes between two political parties is the insects which are eating their brains.

get ready to laugh

I almost pissed myself with laughter watching the first episode as I watched the trailer but wasn't really for how out there this really is. A must watch for any sci fi and gaming fan or if you have a sick sense of humour like me :)

hang in there - a new series of 'this time' with alan partridge is just round the corner!

have you watched american horror? some of the seasons of that are just epic!!

:)

If you havent seen it you'l love it! Check out a series called Startup on amz prime, brilliant show!

Flight attendant for sure!
