"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?"

This City is ours, loved it but thought the last episode was disappointing and kind of went off script. Second series confirmed.

Couple of years old but Midnight Mass well worth a watch if anyone let it pass them by, and House on Haunted Hill for that matter. Made by the same people I believe
I think you mean The Haunting of Hill House which I thought was excellent . Couldn’t get into Midnight Mass.

The weathers turned shit and the footballs over. So back to telly.
Thought i'd start black mirror 7. Just a quick episode before bed - Common People - excellent return to form after a couple of weak seasons, but now i feel like i want to stare into space for 3 days. WTF it was a tough one. Blackest of black comedy.

One episode into A Murder at the End of the World. Very impressed. Has 4 of my favourite actors in it as Emma Corrin, Brit Marling, Clive Owen and Alice Braga.
Man I highly recommend this.

The Day of the Jackal, alongside The Penguin is the best show I've watched for some time. OK it wasn't perfect, but found it fast paced, stylish, and with some good characters. Bring on season 2.
Plodding on with Mobland each week, I really like it. Will give This city is ours a go at some point.

Looking forward to seeing the latest Mobland episode tonight. After the ending of last episode I'm expecting some real fireworks.

Absolutely Alfs.
Up til then, US cop shows were heavily sugar coated and sometimes cringe but HSB stripped all that away and changed police shows forever.
Still available now on Ch 4 catch up channel.
I would like add that Shogun was also very good albeit a bit slow at times.
New series in 2026 fella.

NYPD Blue was excellent quite gritty for it's time.
If you remember 'Hill Street Blues' then it's a similar vibe only set in New York rather than LA. Some great storylines and it wasn't afraid tobshow the sleazier side of some in the force. Cant speak for Blue Bloods as never saw it but I would highly recommend NYPD Blue.

Stumbled across a couple of videos on You Tube that showed clips of the old show NYPD Blue and another one Blue Bloods. Not sure why I never watched them first time around but are they worth watching now or would they be a bit dated? I see there are seasons galore so would be a long watch!!

Collyrob - Did you stick with Dope Thief? I'm up to ep 7 now, after a good start I thought it fizzled out a bit.
I see you finished it. Is it worth sticking with, I'm 3 eps in?
I would say just about, yes. The story starts to expand out a bit, even gets slightly complicated (to me anyway) so it isn't just a crew of lunatics chasing the pair of them. Other characters come into it, including Ray's stepmother and old man.
I didn't clock until near the end that Manny is Pablo Escobar in Narcos.
I’ve really enjoyed Dope Thief. It’s pretty well written and well acted. It’s probably the best new show this year.
The Studio is good as well, despite not being a big fan of Seth Rogan, and it being a bit of a copy of Entourage.
The second season of the Last Of Us is proving to be garbage , but it’s source material was always going to make it that way.
The Righteous Gemstones final season is one of the only other notable things to watch.

Just finishing the second series of Black Snow. Its not too bad, but the lead character cop is badly modelled on Riggs from Lethal Weapon
