"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?"

Yes. I was really drawn in by it's a realism. A tiny 10st 20 year old girl taking out 11 trained 16 stone experienced bodyguards, at least six of them with her bare hands without breaking sweat.

No woke girl-boss shit involved at all.

Shame it's shit. Keeley is still looking mighty fine for her age.

The return of Mrs Brown's Boys.

The ending's a bit shit. The main character has a sex change and turns into the Silver Surfer.

Have began watching Northern Exposure all over again, for the first time since it was on.

It has dated, but I love it.

Just started "Mix Tape", looks good so far and as you'd expect, some cracking tunes.

 Binged watched Untamed from Netflix on Sunday.  Thought it was excellent. Great acting from Eric Bana and Sam Neill.

Halfway through "Last Kind Of The Cross"...not too bad, some of it is a bit naff, but there's violence and tits.

Check out Smoke on Apple.
Thanks Alfs. Three episodes into Smoke and I like it. Bit slow but what can I say they are all slow burners these days....excuse the pun😊
I agree, but the review I read says it starts of slowly but the tension ratches up as it goes along.
