"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?"

"is that good? I'll have a look watched a few of the yank version of Shameless. its pretty enjoyable and funny, Macy's great as Frank but in just wondering if its worth sticking with for more than the first series :.)"

"Anyway, amidst all this misery have just finished the first season of Godless. It's a Netflix Western, beautifully shot, great acting, best thing I've seen in a while."

Old school but currently ploughing through Kavanagh QC on SKY box sets. Decent viewing

"I'm pretty sure nearly all of you did this years ago, but I've only just started watching ""The Shield"" Just finished season 2. So far, so 'kin excellent, for me. Anyone who hasn't seen it, and was wondering whether to give it a go, I heartily recommend it."

"could post this on the documentary thread but watched THE KEEPERS on netflix. a seven part series about the murder of a Nun who had worked in a Baltimore Catholic High School in the late 60s and may or may not have been about to expose a priest who worked at the same school who was abusing many of the young girl students. Its a very good series but leaves you angry at how the authorities covered up the crimes of these sick bastards, no doubt they still do and the murder case still remains unsolved"

"So finally finished The Punisher. Yet another series that tears the arse out of dragging the whole thing out over 13 episodes, although TBF there was a bit of logic to some of that. When it wasn't meandering along at 2 MPH it was interspersed with some ridiculous violence. Not sure how many times the cսnt gets shot, stabbed, battered to fuck, but all a bit too silly, really, even for me. Anyway, more importantly (MUCH more importantly), I just realised last night that season 3 of Gomorrah has kicked off, which I've not noticed mentioned on here. Watched the first episode last night - fucking superb."

"Marvel fucking it up with their Netflix stuff is becoming the norm for me unfortunately. They're dragging the fucker out so far, anyway. Thing is, if you watch back over the Punisher fight scenes from Daredevil, they are so fucking violent, I can't see anyone making a TV series like that."

"as long it avoids that stupid plot from The Defenders I'll enjoy it, they really fucked that up"

"Trapped was excellent. Really enjoyed Stranger Things. It's daft but I think it's really well done. Agreed, Miike, it was always going to be hard for Punisher to meet those expectations. Be warned, it drags on. Anyway, hopefully, it'll pick up 2nd half of the season."

"Been mentioned before but 'Trapped' is worth watching, about a mysterious murder in a town in Iceland, only 1 series in."

"not started it yet, always thought it would be hard to match that prison fight scene from The Daredevil series finished stranger things, last two episodes were good but fuck knows what they were thinking with episode seven"

"Anyone else started on The Punisher Almost half way through, bit disappointing so far but I'm hoping it picks up."

"I'm on season 2 of The Girlfriend Experience. It's about a nympho law student who becomes an escort. I'd give it a 7/10. Season 2 has different characters. Anna Friel plays a gay government bod, and unlike in Brookside, gets her kit off."

"watching the second series of stranger things, started well but gradually losing its way with a couple to go. another three or four series would be a bad idea"

struggled through tin star but did enjoy the last 3-4 episodes when everything came to fruition. Is there going to be a second season do we think? or are they just going to leave it on that cliff-hanger ending? not sure what else there is for them to do in a 2nd season

"Not really a box set as such, but someone told me to watch Taskmaster (Greg Davies hosted show) recently and I absolutely love it. Very funny indeed."

"Takashi Miike Glad you enjoyed it & agree about Bill Pullman, he was excellent in that role. A certain episode near the end really psyched me out, was thinking about it all night. Good to see it's finally on Netflix UK. https://goo.gl/Y6GDdM"
