"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?"

"I'm on season 2 of The Girlfriend Experience. It's about a nympho law student who becomes an escort. I'd give it a 7/10. Season 2 has different characters. Anna Friel plays a gay government bod, and unlike in Brookside, gets her kit off."

"watching the second series of stranger things, started well but gradually losing its way with a couple to go. another three or four series would be a bad idea"

struggled through tin star but did enjoy the last 3-4 episodes when everything came to fruition. Is there going to be a second season do we think? or are they just going to leave it on that cliff-hanger ending? not sure what else there is for them to do in a 2nd season

"Not really a box set as such, but someone told me to watch Taskmaster (Greg Davies hosted show) recently and I absolutely love it. Very funny indeed."

"Takashi Miike Glad you enjoyed it & agree about Bill Pullman, he was excellent in that role. A certain episode near the end really psyched me out, was thinking about it all night. Good to see it's finally on Netflix UK. https://goo.gl/Y6GDdM"

"Claypole I think the argument there is that the drunk chief remembered nothingnof his actions when he sobered up. But he would have remembered them when he was drunk because he was two people effectively. Very odd Whitey was a decent character in the end - butvthe weird dancing shit at the start was just so random, whilst the side story of the evil oil firm went off in an odd direction too Sortbof came together ok by then end but wasn't really worth the effort and a waste of a decent cast and good idea"

"I thought tin star was quite strange in the fact that nobody knew who each other were despite the fact that they must have met 10 years previous. Enjoying Vice principles, thought snowfall was good as well. The Vietnam doc was excellent and showed what a sneaky fuck Nixon really was."

"Tin star was really disappointing If the whole thing had been like the final two episodes it may have been much better, but tonally its all over the shop - stuck somewhere between gritty and dark comedy, but none of the actors are on the same page. Tim Roth is just tim Roth-y and the actual concept of the whole thing plays out very oddly. The lack of actual emotion shown by two parents after their son is shot in front of them is also absurd"

"I enjoyed Ozark, currently half way through Mindhunter, it's a slow burner but i'm liking it. The Sinner with the lovely Jessica Biel is my favourite of the year so far."

"Currently working my way through Ozark which is quite good,will start Mindhuntet next as i have heard good things about it. Narcos has set the bar quite high for me,outstanding tv. The vietnam series on BBC4 is as good as any war docu i've ever seen. Every episode raises more and more questions,total madness from the yanks."

"Takashi Miike 1:16 Fri Oct 20 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls finished the Suburra TV series, though it was very good and clearly there's more to come the way the final episode was left ______ just finished it - had a massive feast of it sunday to get me over the liverpool disaster Loved every bit of it- very Gomorrah like but a bit broader and setup for the next series- Watched the film it was based upon last night- that is fucking excellent too- a lot of the cast are in both... Highly highly recommened ** check diary for when Gomorrah 3 starts***"
