Can someone please do another book recommendation thread so I can again plug my acclaimed crime debut Two O'Clock Boy? It's been likened to Luther - and the paperback is only £2 on Amazon at the moment.Thanks.

"Finished season 1 of Jesssica Jones last night, and I agree that it's pretty good TV for a Marvel thingy. She must be the most rock n roll superhero going. However, Tennant was the most fun. What an excellent bad guy.... ""See how long it takes you to put your head through that post."""

"Finished The Mist (based on the Stephen King novella) last night. I thought it was superb, just as good as the film. The missus stopped watching after 3 episodes but she's an idiot. One of the best endings to a season in a long time."

"JAYJONES sorry no idea, I'm watching it on the firestick, it's only just going out in the states once a week so maybe after its aired fully over there. Some of its a bit near the mark with the current trend for terrorists running people down!"

"When I first heard about the plan to have four origin series leading into The Defenders I thought it was a great idea. But Daredevil became turgid after the first series, Jessica Jones was very good but 99% of that was David Tennant. Luke Cage was too cool for school and I couldn't get into it all, while Iron Fist was bewilderingly bad and I didn;t get past episode two. Real shame, as now feel there's little point in watchign Defenders without half the back story. Oh well. Ozark then - not touched it yet, is it good?"

"Just started watching Snowfall. About the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles in the 80's. Very good, music is superb as well. The Israeli drug dealer in it is a fucking lunatic. Well worth a watch."

"SurfaceAgentX2Zero 3:26 Fri Aug 18 . 'The best thing about the last two were the two chick side-kicks/allies Misty Knight and Colleen Wing who should definitely be partnered-up spun off into their own show as they have been in the comics.' Having just watched the last episode of The Defenders, it would appear Netflix/Marvel are doing just that."

"I can't recommend. The Americans enough. One of the best series I've ever seen. It's about a seemingly ordinary couple living in the USA, apart from the fact that they are actually Russians working for the KGB. It's based on a real program the Russians set up and is written by an ex CIA officer. It's so complex in that it doesn't stereotype them, they have been living in the US for years and have two kids and it's about how they reconcile their feelings about what they do whilst effectively living a lie. They do it because they believe they are making the world a better place for everyone and that even though they sometimes have to do terrible things that it's for the greater good. The acting is brilliant, the writing is top notch and it's consistently gripping. You will thank me."

"The quality of these Netflix Marvel shows has, in my opinion, gone down in chronological order. DD was excellent, the first season better than the second, Jessica Jones was good, Luke Cage was OK and Iron Fist I endured. The best thing about the last two were the two chick side-kicks/allies Misty Knight and Colleen Wing who should definitely be partnered-up spun off into there own show as they have been in the comics."

"Exactly, Miike. Shame, but that's business I suppose. Like you say though, The Punisher could be good."
