"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?"

"I guess if you'd spent most of your life flicking buttons on a playstation and wanking off about how good the games are then I guess you might be disappointed in the Last of us. Thankfully, never been remotely interested kiddie games on these machines, so the series actually worked very well for me and the strength of the characters was developed and acted equally well. A bit slow in places but I like that as it give the series room to breathe. Also, each episode didn't feel like I'd just reached another level of the game and it being all about the flower power zombies all the time. All in all I reckon it was very good and worthy of another season. (just don't let it go on beyond its sell by date like the Walking Dead)"

"Well the finale of The Last Of Us didn‚Äôt disappoint. It was just as fucking shit as all the rest of it, barring episode 3 and most of episode 1. Joel‚Äôs character assassination ran so deep they couldn‚Äôt even bear to make him not look and act like a weird, stunted cսnt and frankly quite the villain in the hospital bit. None of the superb ambiguity of the game. I guess that‚Äôs all missing anyway from the emotion of the viewer seen as they didn‚Äôt bother trying to tell the story between them faithfully at all. They even subtlely altered the giraffe bit to make him look like a goon. Would it really have hurt to have just had THAT bit play out authentically? What an absolute disappointment all round and subversion of a fabulous game and story. And Feed Me Chicken- spot on. She‚Äôs shit. Not sure if it was the actress or the writing or a combo that made Ellie so unlikeable."

"Watched it more out of intrigue than anything else, want a massive fan, pacing well off, Bella is a bad Ellie, barely any infected and too much virtue signalling"

"zico I just burned through it all this evening. God, it's hard witnessing the grief of the relatives, still red raw after all these years. There were some right numpties - that daft Jeff and his ""Russian operatives dun it to draw media attention away from their invasion of Crimea"" - what a dope. And that sad, grieving Frenchman who believes it was all caused and covered up by the Anglophone nations. The most interesting things that French journalist Florence said were actually minor details in her overall theory - the fact that the US was conducting large-scale military operations in the South China Sea area (I hadn't known that before) and that the bit of wing flap that was found by dodgy Johnny-on-the-spot Blain, had its serial number plate missing, much in the manner of planes that have been decommissioned and scrapped. I reckon I could concoct a more believable conspiracy theory than that lot, given the info in the documentary."

"Gaffer, I've watched the first two and will continue with it. I'd say it's a 7/10. Finished the first 8 episodes of 1923 and it get's better as it goes along. Westerns seem the be the new rock 'n roll."

It's just incredible really how a flight can just disappear and not be found in what is it 8 years? The flight downed when it flew over Ukraine was Malaysian Airlines as well. Pretty spotless record for years and then two in 4 months.

"Romanzo Criminale is a good series as well, if you can find it. Set in 70's Rome."

Gomorrah is ridiculously good. Probably the best series ever.

No idea where the Documentary thread is so will plonk this on here. Watched all three episodes of MH370: The Plane That Disappeared on Newtflix last night. An intriguing watch to say the least.

Well. If you wasn’t entertained by the latest episode of The Last of Us. Then you should be really looking elsewhere. Because as Survival/Horror goes. It was pretty good.
