"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?"

CS, I couldn't give a fuck about who it was originally based on but there again I don't actively look for reasons to get the hump about that sort of thing. 

As for Steven Graham being 'Jamaican now' you do realise he's one of the best actors we've got, don't you? In fact if I come across a film or tv show I've not heard about and he's in it I'll give it a go because I at least know he'll be great at the very least. 

Still, stay angry and disappointed, it looks good on you.

I really liked Sugar on Apple TV with Colin Farrel,l LA detective series with a spin.  It’s a pity they never did another series.

 

Might give Sugar a go.

Dope Thief is pretty good.

Stars Sean Lock.

Yes, i loved it but you probably have to be a fan of Sean's dry/deadpan delivery . A channel on YT called ChorltonBrook have all twelve episodes uploaded

Cleared of all charges.

No smoke without fire, Alfs! Best to label him a bummer of boys to play it safe.

The BONDSMAN  is good fun ..

but I do love a bit  a bacon

Cheers Jim, I will look at the behind the scenes stuff on YouTube.

The other one I am enjoying is Undercover on Netlfix, a Dutch/Belgium show.  It may take a couple of episodes but I am hooked on it now. Not the run of the mill police/drugs prodecure, I would definately would recommend.
Luckily there are 3 seasons and I bet it gets remade in the US or here.

I like Riviera...I know. Not to be taken too seriously.

Another fan of Reacher here. Got through it really quickly. As said below though don't take it seriously.

... and 'Mobland' on the way, a Guy Ritchie turnout with Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Tom Hardy.

billy - agree re Spacey. Excellent actor. Rewatched American Beauty last weekend funnily enough.
Talking about being very late in watching stuff, I might be even later than you, as I’ve just finished Season 1 of 24!

 

Don't know if you've seen it, but he was also very good in Swimming With Sharks.
Highly recommended.

Will have a look at 'Mobland' and 'This city is ours' over the next week or so.

Very very late on this one but am loving House of Cards. Kevin Spacey is a superb actor and he and his (screen) Mrs really do play their parts fantastically well.

About the beginnings of football and professional football based on history, actual characters and Teams who were the pioneers
I never knew that professional football started up North, mainly Lancashire, and that the FA along with the rules were founded by the elite amateurs from London & the Home counties.

Not a documentary, well worth a watch!



 

Did they not push the recent emerging narrative it was invented in Scotland? That will piss them off. Good.

The first professional players were Scots bought down to Lancashire to play for Darwen FC.
Maybe that's what they meant.

Adolescence was excellent.
Was shot like a horror movie the way the camera followed the characters  tension all the way through from start to finish.

The final scene is harrowing, was still thinking about it the next morning. Not ashamed to say it brought tears to my eyes, moreso the next morning.
I have a young son so it resonated with me.

I also finished Reacher today....  worth watching, Severance, now that is a pile of shit.Watched 3 episodes and wish I hadn't.

Thanks chaps.
Think I'll persevere a little longer.

The scariest thing is im hearing that they've commissioned at least another 3 seasons which means we aint getting any answers anytime soon
