"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?"

Severance Season 1 is probably the best thing I have ever watched and Season 2 which would be so easy to mess up just like 'Lost' and so many others went totally astray and off the rails, is shaping up really really well. Optimum viewing!
Have never got round to watching season 2 even though I loved season 1.Will give it a go.

We've been watching The Decameron on Netflix.
A few episodes in. Not side-splittingly funny but decent and will probably appeal to fans of The Great.
Stumbled across Boston Legal recently. Probably about 15ish years old? Not sure how I missed it before but incredibly funny and slips in great commentary through the trials of many of the idiocies of the US.
It's a legal comedy starring William Shatner and James Spader as two unlikely lawyer friends plus many familiar other actors too (including Candice Bergen!).
It's on All 4 but the adverts every couple of minutes (US style) mean we actually bought an old DVD boxset (cheap as chips now) to make watching it bearable.
Highly recommended if you don't know it.

Just watched the first few episodes of Rivals.
Not back actually, thought I'd hate it but quite amusing.
Yea it's good in it's own way even if some parts make you want to jack in it, but worth sticking with. They've confirmed a second series.

Season 4 of Only Murders in The Building is great. Good cameos from Eugene Levy, Zach Galifiankis, Paul Rudd and Eva Longoria.

Anyone interested in seeing ten minutes or so of West Ham related content should watch Episode 2 of Public Disorder on Netflix where the Italian riot squad are sent in to police the build up to a Roma versus West Ham game. Plenty of claret and blue flag waving plus several choruses of "West Ham are massive"

The Traitors
So after seeing is splashed on every media website I see..BBC , MSN, etc , etc. I decide to watch a few episodes from the beginning. So a group of really boring people sort gang up on each other in two groups and bitch about each other. What a plie of shit and yet it seems to be highly rated. and hyped to hell.
Am I missing something here?

I've given American Primeval a go and after one and a half eps have given up. Loads of violence, no characters that you care about, and no one gets their tits out.
I didn’t even get to the end of the first episode which is strange for me. Just looks dull and just not worth the effort when there’s so much better stuff to watch.
Just started the 2nd season of The Rig. I like it but maybe not everyone’s cup of tea.

I thought the Jackal was awful gave up after episode 1. I watched two recently that had gone completely under the radar these last few years, Rubicon 7.5/10 and The Sinner 8/10 but that's just series 1. Bad Sisters series 2 is totally unwatchable.
I really think you need to give it more than one episode. As it happens I think the first episode is the worst with the exception of the last maybe. It gets better and better.
The Jackal?
If you have read the book and seen the original film then that ends all debate...
Tried times and failed three times
No. They have completely different story lines but with a common theme. All 3 are good. The Fox one from the origina book, The Bruce Willis one and the latest Redmayne one. They are not remakes you twat.
