"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?"

"That is true Alfs. But Gomorrah I could have just kept watching and watching and gutted it ended. I don't think I'll find a TV crime series as good as that. I've watched the Immortal. Really disappointed. Just shows Ciros upbringing flashbacks of hustling as a kid. From the boat as it was unveiled in series 5 , the wizard Don saved him. Sent him Latvia , as usual , gang rivalry with Russians with Ciro in between. Then ends with him meeting Genny. I even watched 2008 release film, where Ciro etc are kids. But it was a dreadful film. Now fascinated with history of that mafia, the Camorra, and in particular Naples. 86 to 87 when they won the title for the first time with Maradona, it must have been mental living Naples in that era , mafia controlled, the largest drug dealing spots in Europe in the blocks called the Sails, just as in Gomorrah, and a city full of football maniacs. If anyone comes across a good documentary about the Camorra mafia of Naples. Let us know. Thanks."

Game of Thrones ending was very poor and I really hope Line of Duty can go out on a high as the last series was really poor compared to the earlier series.

"The problem with so many successful TV shows is that the producers/writers don't have the balls to end it on a high. Instead, they'll milk another season or two out of it, yet don't really have the narrative to keep it going. Peaky Blinders is a great example, and I'm sure you can all think of many more. It's tough to say no though, as money is being thrown at you and you fear this may be your last job."

"Agree about Peaky Blinders, too much around 'Tommy' mumbling, smoking a fag etc and not enough development of the other characters, it is really shit. Just finished a BBC Wales drama The Hidden, first two series were very good but the third very disappointing."

"Latest series of Peaky Blinders has been a massive disappointment. Final series, 5 episodes in and not much has happened. Every scene is Cillian Murphy smoking a fag having an intesnse conversation with someone. I see what Joe cole meant (no not our one) when he said he left due to it being the Cillian Murphy show. Dont see how they will wrap the whole thing up in an hour, should of quit while it was ahead a few series back."

Saw the trailer for Boiling Point and it was just people shouting at each other. Not one for me.

"I sort of thought Ciro wasn't dead ,as when he went into the drink you could see some bubbles (not West Ham) coming from his mouthing as he helped direct/produce he was too big a character to be written out so early."

"Sold - Not quite the same thing as Bobby Ewing was confirmed dead, the immortal wasn't. Must admit I can't remember now how they explained him living."

"You know what the Italians in Gommorrah are like with their nicknames, he's not really immortal mate. I think they got through season 4 and thought we need to find a way to bring Ciro back so they then made the film to fill in the gap. Granted its a bit arse to front and farcical but dont let it put you off what is one of the best shows ever made for tv"

"NS, you need to watch the film L'Immortale which explains all about Ciro's journey and the survival of the shooting on the boat. L'Immortale have been mentioned on this thread a number of times and recommended to watch it after the end of season 3. Just finished the new season of Top Boy, brilliant again. Can't wait for the next one but what a twist at the end of this one."

Raised by wolves is quite good. First series so much better than the second. Severance on from appletv and directed by Ben stiller is really good and an easy watch. The new Picard series isnt too bad either

Yeah it's been very good... but the Bobby Ewing lets bring him back from the dead... behave... me and the Mrs just looked at each other and burst out laughing... unless it's properly explained in the latter episodes it's a farce
