"I love this thread as without it I would have missed out on some of the best, cleverest TV I've seen in ages. Subarra, Mindhunter, Ozarks and Godless. I thought I was fucked for good telly after the the fantastic The Vietnam War- all 17 hours of it. Couldn't have been more wrong. Add to that 18 episodes of The Jim Jefferies Show and one of my all-time great British programs, the third series of Detectorists showing now on BBC4 and it feels like a golden age. And I've still to wade into Gommera. There's a Storyville on the iplayer called 'last men in Aleppo' about the White Helmets who dig people out of bombed houses. I never thought I'd see anything that would make me half want to go and fight in Syria against the bastard Assad and the Russians. It's like the director said 'let's show people all the stuff you never see on the news. The dead, crushed babies, the torn apart bodies, the people that if you knew them from work they'd be good pals. All doomed to die. I'm torn between being glad I saw it and wishing I could un-see it."

"Mallard, that sounds good as I was starting to feel it was a bit slow but moving enough to keep the interest going. He's just been told he's gone into remission so I did wonder if it would start to pick up. I loved the exploding head. I watched Banshee a while ago and got to the 4th season and decided it had gotten a bit samey and farfetched as in too much happening in a small backwater town without the 'Fed's' getting involved earlier"

"The Duece is excellent, ain't anybody better at making TV shows like David Simon (The Wire) Currently half way through Dark, German show on Netflix. Excellent so far."

"Watched a few episodes of Banshee, quite enjoyed them but wasn't hooked. Mind you, I didn't take to Breaking Bad either. I've now watched the first 6 episodes of season 3 of Gomorrah and all I can say is F O M B. Absolutely brilliant TV, as good if not better than the other seasons. The only slight negative are the subtitles, which have come out a lot quicker than normal and there seem to be various versions done by different firms, which is unusual to say the least. They're not the best ever so you might want to wait until something more official appears."

that fly episode was because they had overspent the budget and needed a cheap episode.

Mart O You obviously have never seen Banshee. Definately the most violent fight scenes I've seen and some of the hottest women i've seen. Box set 4 seasons an absolute must.

horrible 5:36 Thu Dec 7 It gets better mate. In my opinion. The fact that you have already watched most of two seasons without it getting crap tells you something. Lots of things happen that will surprise you.

"Here's a question for you lot.... I'm pretty sure most of you on this thread have watched most if not all episodes of Breaking Bad. I've read most posts on this thread and would like your opinions on this series. I've only just started it and am up to season 2 episode 10. Now what I would like to know is, does this series lose its way , or get boring , as it goes on for 5 seasons, I'm really enjoying it at the moment, more than I thought I would, although I didn't know what to expect. Does it drag or does it stay as engrossing as it is at the current state ? Ta"

"cjp180 12:31 Mon Dec 4 I've only been able to find episode 1 of season 3 of Gomorrah with subtitles. Anyone else had any luck with this ? Watched Babylon Berlin over the weekend, crime series set during the Weimar Republic, in German with subs. Started out brilliantly I thought but lost it's way big time by about episode 5 or 6. Still, worth a look for me."
