"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?"

Stranger Things new season is pretty good. Action packed from the start.

Enjoyed The Beast in me.
Going to start All her fault, I’ve heard it’s VG.
All her fault is very good. Stick wiith it, as at times it does get a bit slow and you start to get a bit bored, but then a WTF moment hooks you in. Think I saw the whole thing in three days and I'm not really a fan of series.
Swiss, is this Malice based at all on the old film Malice with Baldwin and Kidman?
No. This Malice is about Jack Whitehall as a tutor to David Duchovny's boy whilst his family holiday in Greece and then to London. He integrates in with nasty consequencies. That's all I'm saying.

Looking forward to Say Nothing, although as its on Channel 4 it will probably descend into an anti-Brit propaganda wankfest

A little late to the party, but am a couple of episodes into Black Doves.
Rather surprisingly I'm quite enjoying it.

The Death of Bunny Munroe is a must. Not a fan of Matt Smith but he's excellent.
The Iris Affair is a great yarn and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, Down Cemetery Road is well worth a watch.
I thought Down Cemetery road was crap. Then again I hate Emma Thompson.

Mr Mercedes season 1, very good, started season 2 and without giving the spoiler away, if it doesn't change quickly, I'm done with it, as it's gone stupid.
I binned s2 after one episode. It was dogshit.
S2 is hard to follow- go to s3

Season 3 Mr Mercedes is very good! Almost a stand alone story line! S2 is a bit WTF but don’t bypass S3 is my recommendation FWIW

Anyone seen FBI series from 2018? I believe there are a couple of spin offs? Stumbled across it on Prime and can't believe I haven't heard of it before. A few episodes in and I'm hooked.

CS.
Same here,5 episodes in and am enjoying it so far.
On 2, hope it continue as it is. The old Mum, and son relationship is a bit unsettling though.

Caine's autobiography is good value ..his description of the dog closing the door behind him on the set of ZULU is priceless.
Thanks for the heads up, can't believe I haven't read that one. Have read "Blowing the Bloody Doors Off", "The Elephant to Hollywood" and "Don't Look Back, You Will Trip Over" but not "What's It All About?". Found it on Amazon so thanks. Reading Parky's autobiography at the moment, very good. If you like your autobiographies Roger Moore's books are a great read, very funny.
