"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?"

"Coffee I'm not sure about TV spy dramas of the same quality. I can only reccommend reading anything by Le Carré. ""A Perfect Spy"" is a good one, almost autobiographical, and a good lesson in how a spy/author is made. His old man was as dodgy as they come. I myself have only just started Hannibal on Netflix. I'm about 8 episodes into teh first season and can't help wondering how everyone (I mean his dinner guests) will react once the truth inevitably outs. No amount of Chianti will be able to wash the taste from their mouths. Great grusome viewing."

"Currently ploughing through Black Sails...a Robinson Crusoe prequel series. Very watchable, good level of action, and a lot of tits in display from the pirate wenches."

"Just finished Daredevil and see that series 3 won't be until 2018 as they were considering not renewing. Blatantly going to be a Punisher spin off though, which will be good."

"Smashed 6 episodes of Stranger Things over the weekend, it's absolutely superb, Netflix are really producing some quality programming. That includes the 2nd best current TV show Bojack Horseman (2nd to Mr Robot)."

"Slightly off topic. But the film version of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold with Richard Burton is very good, too."

Lily Hammer 4:17 Tue Aug 2 Watched them when originally shown and watched them again recently. Top class. Big fan of Le Carre's books. Little Drummer Girl a favourite.

"Miike. Depends. I think there's a blu-ray version now? The dvd version (28 discs) was US only, but used to turn up here pretty regularly. If you import it from the States be prepared to get stung for a considerable amount in import tax. This is what it looks like.. https://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Zone-Complete-Definitive-Collection/dp/B000H5U5EE/154-2983010-7843967?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000H5U5EE&linkCode=as2&redirect=true&tag=geeksofdoom-20 Oh, and be wary of some of the dvd boxes you see selling cheap on UK ebay, I have a feeling they're identical bootlegs."

"Nagel - stick with it, it really gets going round about episode 5 The series only has 10 episodes and finishes how the comic book starts (basically the series has been a prequel)"

"Ditcher 2:40 Tue Aug 2 Regarding spy series..... If you've not seen them, get hold of the BBC's adaptation of John Le Carré's ""Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy"" and then ""Smiley's People"" from the late 70s. Absolute masterclass from Alec Guiness acting in the master spy writer's stories."
