"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?"

One episode in and as hooked as hell. Believe the hype it is looking excellent and Mathew Rhys is an excellent actor.  Danes is playing Carrie like character again.all manic and emotional which is a bit irritating. Same writer as Homeland init. 

 

I agree with that ...she was basically carrie ....same goes  for Jonathan Banks as MIKE Ermantroot
This series was average ...at best.
Gilligan will always be up against it after breaking bad a ànd better call saul.
This is way off both of those

Her character was the reason I gave up on Homeland.

Watched latest Slow Horses.

Utter crud, as usual

haven't watched many series for a while but thought I'd try Kin, Blue Lights & The Responder. all surprisingly good, but the bbc twats still can't help box ticking

I thought Malice was pretty good. Jack Whitehall out of character as a nasty SOB. worked well.

As said before not one for box sets usually and dumped Lazarus after a couple of episodes but I must say I'm hooked on Sky's "All Her Fault" to the extent I want to skip right through to the last episode. Pretty well done. 

Just an update. Wow, finished it in three days and had no idea where that was going. Slow in places but stick with it, quite a series.

Fraser.

2nd series of Landman starts on Sunday.

 

Finished first season of Landman last night, very good series. 

Under the Banner of Heaven is good - just need to stick past the first episode - it's on ITVX and based on a true crime story in the 80s involving Mormonism.

Alpha Males on Netflix is in Spanish but the first couple of series are a good laugh - currently on season 3.

Im halfway through Trespasses. 
if youre into the 70s, the troubles and sex - its right up your street. Probably won't be a happy ending but its an easy watch, 4 x 50 min episodes, and Gillian Anderson does a great turn.

Mrs V is watching Blue Lights, I must admit I only caught a bit of it, but are all the ones in charge women? I did ask her and if it was a BBC production, she told me to fuck off.

First couple episodes of Pluribus were very good.

Currently watching The Last Frontier on Apple TV.
It's alright is probably the best I can say about it, although I'm only 2 episodes in.

Pluribus, created by Vince Gilligan, is out today.

Good reviews, so far.

There just doesn't seem to be any talent like there was back then.  It's like the interviews with the Hollywood Stars, Cagney, Jimmy Stewart, Kirk Douglas, even now watching those interviews there was an air of mystique.  Maybe it's all this socal media etc, where you get to know about everyone and everything, and half of it is bullshit.  I suspect a lot of them were lost when the BBC used to over write tapes for space.
