"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?"

Finished season 3 of Get Shorty, had no idea it existed until recently, started off ok and got good, shame they never did a season 4, looked set up for one, assume Covid stopped it and never got going again.

Tulsa King is back for a second season. Hardly The Sopranos, but an entertaining watch.

Yes I've seen Dragged Across Concrete and really enjoyed it, cheers.
Yep a good film that shows Vaughn's versatility bit like True Detective 2.
Manuel is a no nothing mong.
You still stalking me you ginger perv? And you really shouldn't call others mongs when you can't even figure out how to use the quotation segment correctly, lol.

Did read there is a 3rd series being made of Blue Lights.
Not sure I would have it as good as Line of duty but it would be close, thing I found with Blue Lights is that it gets better as each episode unravels, series 2 picks up where one left off but throws in another story line that unfolds as the episodes progress.

Started Blue Lights and yes it's good. Very raw. Would prefer shorter episodes though rather than a full hour and despite it being good I don't think it will match Line of Duty, fwiw.

Just finished Faceoff - Inside the NHL.
Really good viewing, and I know not much about Ice Hockey. Those guys are completely mental.
Give 'Slapshot' a watch....comedy gold.

If you don't like Vince Vaughn I suggest a film with a name so shit that I very nearly avoided it - Brawl In Cell Block 99.
It's one of those films where you sit and think 'I'm going to give this shit ten minutes' and then get really surprised at how good it is.
If you HAVE already seen it and thought it was for 'manchildren' I guess I'm guilty as charged.
Another one for you Chim, if you haven't already seen it.
Dragged Across Concrete, with both Vaughan and the director of BICB99, Craig Zahler. Also Mel Gibson.

Yes, that's the one. It reminded of the job players like Billy & Julian did for us, sorting out the opposition bullies

Cheers Miike - pretty sure I’ve seen that one, another good one! The enforcers are the biggest nutters, perhaps in all mainstream sports.

Lowlife, a good documentary worth watching is called 'Ice Guardians' from 2016. It used to be on Netflix (might still be there)

I just finished 'The English' (Emily Blunt). Pretty enjoyable on the whole, nicely filmed...it felt a bit like watching an old 60's Panavision western.
