"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?"

"RH 6:38 Thu Jun 2 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls 'Saw the first episode of Gomorrah last night, no idea why everyone is raving about it' Funny that. After I watched the first episode I thought the same and said so on here, had a few comments saying I must be insane to think that, plus some other not so nice comments, Since I was a lone voice I went back and watched it again and stuck with it. Trust me, it's a fucking incredible show. Stick with it."

"Some of the foreign translations are a bit off - ""musica do negre"" is clearly not ""crap music"". Is the idea that if I hear a lowlife character being racist, I'll automatically become racist myself?"

"I haven't got round to second season of Daredevil. Will do soon though. It was King Pin who annoyed me most if honest. Though, fight scenes were pretty immense and worth watching for alone, even if the story line isn't the strongest at times (IMO of course)."

"Daredevil has some absolutely incredible fight scenes, especially in the 2nd series, daredevil vs the biker gang and punisher in the prison are just amazing!"

"Love BCS too, some great acting throughout. I've just started Preacher. Looks decent from the first episode. I also enjoyed Lucifer, Tom Ellis is well suited to the role."

Jessica Jones is very enjoyable. Daredevil a bit overrated. Better Call Saul absolutely brilliant. Vikings very much worth a watch.

Currently crushing Game of Thrones. Much better than I was expecting given the whole knights and wizards genre not really my thing.

"New Walter Presents thing, Magnifica 70, set in Brazil 1970, apparently about a Government censor who falls in love with a porn star. (Actually, that sounds a bit shit, but I'll give it a chance, anyway.) On Ch4's online only thing, All 4."

"I've gone on about this a few times, but I will mention it one more time. Saturday night, I finally watched the last ever episode of Gary Shandling's ""The Larry Sanders Show."" Now I've seen it all, I have to say it is quite possibly the best ever TV comedy ever. I put it up with Fawlty Towers and all the other big boys of TV comedy. Class scipt in every episode, and class performances from top to bottom. I think they managed to stop at just the right time without repeating themselves. I'm am now gutted , as there are no more to watch, and after the tragically early death of Gary Shandling a few weeks back, there will be no more. I'm reading Terry Pratchett's last book right now, and am dreading the same thing with that. I'll wait a year and start from S1E1 again."

If you haven't seen Penny Dreadful I'd recommend it. Eva Green is pretty awesome in it.
