"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?"

Damages with Glenn Close and Rose Byrne. All 5 seasons are brilliant. Absolute must if you love legal thrillers.

"Let's hope they get their arses in gear then. Surely all involved, not least Sky Italia, realise they're onto a winner? Not sure when an Italian drama last got this kind of critical reception."

"Not even confirmed to be made yet Mart, that's what worries me. Took 6 months last time for them to agree to the second series. We need to hope the yanks like it probably."

"2nd series of Gomorrah was, I agree, superb Grump. Especially the last couple of episodes, obviously no spoilers but must watch TV. Anyone know when S3 will air ? Hopefully won't take as long as S2."

Just finished the second series of Gomorrah. One of those programmes that is so cock out good that I'm gonna be devastated when they stop making it. Third series for starters please you Italian sluts.

Happily watching Gomorrah on the train and the female Don goes and pulls a golden 10 inch vibrator out of the cupboard. Embarrassing!!

Fair enough - guess I've been 'told' by the WHO cultural advisory group! Not many I know who've watched it that didn't like it though.

I'd say lack of character development is one of the biggest flaws with GOT. All these series in and most of the characters are still one dimensional androids.

Would say it takes 2 episodes to be interested in the characters enough to want to keep watching.
