"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?"

"I just finished Shane Meadows' 'The Gallows Pole' on iPlayer. Fucking brilliant after the dross I've watched lately if you love that Derbyshire accent and his normal cast of players. Although it's a true story of a rebel northern village which is starving due to the start of the industrial revolution its in places as funny as fuck and it's only got 3 episodes. In fact it ends abruptly and looks to my eyes like they ran out of money. A great watch though, especially the conversations he has with the supernatural northern 'Stagman'"

"I'm finding less and less TV that I can watch. Almost all of it should have hired a proper writer. Having said that, I saw one of the best dramas I can remember, Shane Meadows' The Gallows Pole on iPlayer this week. It's as funny as fuck if you like that 'matey midlanders' that he does so well."

"I might give the Old Man a go as not much catch up, but see it gets mixed reviews. Always like Bridges."

"Swiss. 4:10 Yep, got that one lined up. What with Tulsa King, Slow Horses and The Old Man, looks like a decent Autumns viewing."

Leroy Stick with Gen V. It gets a lot better when work out what’s going on. Yeah Night Manager was excellent . Will be tough to beat that cast they had.

Been watching Gen V an offshoot of The Boys set a little time in the future. It’s pretty good. Sad about Chance Perdomo the British - American actor who died only aged 27 in motorcycle accident this year.

"Those About to Die. After watching the first ep, I'm very underwhelmed. I'm a great fan of Hopkins but he phones in his performance. Emmerich, the director, relies far too much on CGI, where time on character development would have been millions cheaper and far more effective. Not a patch on Gladiator, or Rome."

"I see Snide is leaking through his/her vagina again to ruin a thread.As I said get some help. Back on topic two episodes in this excellent series"": Those About To Die A great Rome romp a mix of Gladiator and Ben Hur. Anthony Hopkins as Caesar and Roland Emmerich as director and 140m budget. How can it go wrong?"

You've basically said the same things a few times when Slow Horses is mentioned.....so who is the bore? I think it's the one living in a Tenko hut......

I don't think Slow Horses is there to be sensible and factual tbh.......so the odd farfetched storyline will be in the mix I guess.....I mean does MI5 actually have a shabby shit hole building where all their fuck ups work? Just go with the flow of it and hope the characters remain entertaining.
