"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

"horror house & asylum are very good, lost its way with coven and has gradually got worse since. the gimmick of using the same actors in most series also doesn't help"

"Tashaki The first season of American Horror Story I thought was excellent and yes it's turned shit into something self indulgent and basically shit. I've also been recommended Glow. Besides what I've already mentioned (Power, Banshee etc) and I know I'm going to get destroyed for saying it (nothing new with my thick skin) I loved Revenge. Sort of Dynasty with Ninjas."

"If you want something funny, watch Brockmire. It’s about a baseball announcer that loses the plot live on air after going home early and finding his wife in the middle of an orgy. Absolutey hilarious"

"I've lost all patience with it. Besides, that bit of eurotrash in the lead role - his face annoys me. It's weirdly feminine. And Gillian Anderson annoys me. Plays the same character in every role. Staring, chilly, and speaking slowly. Boring and limited."

"'Hannibal' on Netflix I have tried really hard to like this, but it hasn't been easy. A few episodes into the third series and I'm going to give up now. Is it just me, or is it a massive pile of pretentious arse?"

"Didn't want to start a whole new thread, but was chatting about old TV things the other day and onto public information ads from the 70s and 80s... This is a vague memory but was there one from the 70s when 5 or 6 kids all visit some abandoned farm and end up dead...drowned etc?...I kind of remember seeing it back then?"

"yes, it ended well but a lot of it looked like it was made up as it went along. nice to see agnes depesto from moonlighting in something again, and gabriel byrne's episode as the drill loving mob boss was funny. not sure how they can make another series though"

"If like me you're old enough to have watched TV in the 70s (yes it did exist back then), can recommend box set of all 3 series of Secret Army. This is absolute TV gold, one of the best British drama series ever made. Superb writing and acting, which brings home just how evil Nazi Germany was and the bravery of the ordinary people of occupied Europe who did their best to fight them. Su-bloody-perb."
