"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?"

"like I said a few posts down, it's like a comedy to me. I don't think it's law deliberate but I think some of it is very funny"

"OccupyGreenStreet 3:24 Wed May 31 'Hope it picks up quickly because there was little tension and plenty of pantomime hamming' To be fair, that makes it a faithful copy of the UK original."

"Started House of Cards S5 last night. Hope it picks up quickly because there was little tension and plenty of pantomime hamming from Spacey and Wright. Shame, was excellent at its best."

"I'm on episode 11/12 on Homeland, series 5. The amount of effort that's gone into that show, fuck me. All very current too, which is sad. Loved it though. In other news POWER SEASON 4 starts MONDAY 26TH JUNE"

Funnily enough I just started the second series last night also. I wonder if the original actor who plays the Kenyan guy sacked it off after reading what he had to do in the first episode!

"Just starting the second series of Sense8. Enjoyed it so far, though definitely not one for the train anymore, as it's full of filth. They can fuck off with the gay shit though!!!"

I really enjoyed Miike's documentary about the Yakuza entitled Dead or Alive. The gritty realism sets it apart from such fanciful media like Fargo.

"You do realise that this is entertainment, not a documentary Miike? Yeah, you're right, the events on the first three series of Fargo literally happen to me every day of the week, how silly I was for thinking it might be a bit far fetched....."

"Trevor, you don't think the way Spacey manipulates his way up the ladder in ultra quick time isn't far fetched? it's comedic at best, but it is enjoyable. what's far fetched about Fargo?"

"I'm on the penultimate episode of Sneaky Pete, really enjoying it, Giovanni Ribisi is a great actor. Started Hand of God the other week, got very bored after three episodes. Big Little Lies seems good so far, 4 episodes in, Nicole Kidman still have a great rack."

"Goliath was extremely average, and no likeable characters. As much as I love Prison break, the new season is beyond bad."
