"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?"

"Nurse Ratched 8:18 Fri Dec 11 Of course you're right Nurse - God it's a bastard getting old. Having said that - I love KH and think Parker was a bit unkind - hey 4, Oscars and 8 further nominations ain't bad. I thinks someone later plagiarised it to describe Gregory Peck, which I think is more appropriate. As for box sets, at the risk of repeating myself ""Justified"". iIf I've watched the complete set 50 times I'm probably low. If anybody hasn't yet seen it, it's your loss. Peace"

Martin - it was Parker. Was it Joan Crawford she was talking about?

"Nurse Ratched 3:06 Fri Dec 11 Totally agree Nurse - her performances always remind me of the old line ( Think it was Dorothy Parker, about some thespian - can't remember who ) that "" They ran the gamut of the emotions from A to B """

"I realise Gillian Anderson is a pin-up to you chaps, but she really is a terrible actress. No range. Just stares at other actors and speaks very slowly. Every character she plays the same way."

"The Crown is decent - not because of the oddball family that are the Windsors, but because of the way it portrays historical events that I'd forgotten about. The bint who plays Mad Maggie is quality too and her visit to Balmoral was funny as fuck, fiction or not. Talk about a festival of freaks."

"Block I've just started on Fear the Walking Dead. It's a lot better than The Walking Dead, half way through season 2 at the minute. Have also started The Purge, it's not bad when nothing else is on."

"Takashi Miike 4:14 Wed Dec 9 ""Ted, give the prison drama OZ a go. you should be able to find it, it can be pretty raw at times but it's very good"" Second this. Get ready to see Christopher Meloni (thought I have heard Happy takes him places as well) and J.K. Simmons in a new light. Even Luke Perry from 90210 is an interesting Christ character. Tom Fontana goes a bit surreal as his shows near their end. Fontana and Simon together in Homicide: Life on the Street is another recommendation. Network precursor to The Wire."

Mike 3 or 4 for me. but that's not to say the other 3 are excellent. First episode was a slow burner - Mrs Sarge didn't want to watch any more - I was hooked from the second episode. Really high quality stuff
