"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?"

"Yeah , strange someone decided to make Painkiller so shortly after Dopesick. Dopesick is excellent. Apparently Painkiller is the exact same story but with hammy actors."

having watched both Dopesick and PainKiller I think Dopesick is head and shoulders the better series. Both very good and a really hard hitting subject that I have a bit of personal experience in having struggled with prescription pain killer dependency at points. Both are excellent programmes but the documentary about the same subject and Purdue Pharma called Crime of the Century on Sky Documentaries is even better if you ask me.

"Will give that a whirl, Alfs. Might have been done before, but I've just starting watching Barry, really enjoying it. Nothing to blow you away, but an easy watch and only half an hour per episode."

If you liked people just do nothing they have done a 3 episode taster called Peacock. I think it might have been picked up for a full series.

"Northern… People just do nothing has some very funny moments and not usually my kind of thing but gave it a go and glad I did, the lead actor was also great in The Curse but totally different character but worth a watch. Hijack ended up being awful and poor acting shame as build up was good. Same actor was in Bull recently and that was excellent. Ted Lasso was superb and enjoyed every episode, has laughs, sads, emotions and some very memorable moments and West Ham all over it.. Roy Fucking Kent makes it for me."

"The Boys is definitely worth watching. an ultra violent cynical superhero thing where the heroes are essentially treated like sporting franchises and are traded among cities etc. Most of the heroes are sadistic arseholes, Homelander is the main reason to watch, a very well written psycho"

"you'll love it. it's not the greatest thing ever, but it is a good spin on the super hero genre and at times very funny. I only watched the first series but it's worth a look"

Anyone seen the series The Boys?? My kid keeps going on and on and on about it.... greatest thing on TV ever ever ever ... supposedly... she did pull it out the bag with People Just do Nothing (which was fucking brilliant) but know nothing about this one she keeps going on about... Regarding Hijack.... first 5 episodes thought were pretty entertaining rivetting stuff.... the last episode I was waiting for Ted Striker to make a appearance along with a 90 year old Gran talking jive...

"Whoever recommended Slow Horses, thank you. Five episodes in and it's supurb. Olivia Cooke is an absolute rocket as well, so that helps. Really enjoying Ted Lasso as well."

"collyrob 3:11 Sat Aug 5 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls happygilmore 6:35 Fri Aug 4 Like I said. S1 was brilliant, capturing the stress of running a restaurant and the associated problems in a run down area. S2 felt very manufactured tension wise."

"happygilmore 6:35 Fri Aug 4 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation What!!! Are you mad, that was one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen of anything. The chaos the tension, the mental health issues. It was absolutely perfect."

"Alfs 4:54 Thu Aug 3 Same. I really enjoyed it until the last episode. Unless there is a second series, It was not just ruined by a poor and far fetched motive but it fizzled out without any real closure."
