"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'd quite like to visit the area where VtbL was filmed, as it's very easy on the eye - can't look at the Wiki to find out where it is yet, for fear of spoilers."

"I’m about 3 or 4 episodes in on The Deuce. Very good so far, gotta lot of people out of the wire in it. James Franco is superb as well. Well worth a watch."

"Box sets should be banned. I can feel I'm about to get hooked on Vanished by the Lake, Channel Four's Walter Presents' latest offering. Mr Avila isn't as good, but I'll probably go back to that after VbtL"

Need to get back to Gomorrah. I watche the first few and as getting into it. Will give it another try. Banshee gets better. I think season 1 is arguably the worst.

"There's a Storyville on the iplayer called 'last men in Aleppo' about the White Helmets who dig people out of bombed houses. I never thought I'd see anything that would make me half want to go and fight in Syria against the bastard Assad and the Russians. It's like the director said 'let's show people all the stuff you never see on the news. The dead, crushed babies, the torn apart bodies, the people that if you knew them from work they'd be good pals. All doomed to die. I'm torn between being glad I saw it and wishing I could un-see it. ____ Exactly- I had to stop watching it to be honest. Walking around with a bag pickking up nits of children blown apart is too much for me. I really enjoyed Norskov and am enjoying Aquitted- both on walter presents on C4"

"I love this thread as without it I would have missed out on some of the best, cleverest TV I've seen in ages. Subarra, Mindhunter, Ozarks and Godless. I thought I was fucked for good telly after the the fantastic The Vietnam War- all 17 hours of it. Couldn't have been more wrong. Add to that 18 episodes of The Jim Jefferies Show and one of my all-time great British programs, the third series of Detectorists showing now on BBC4 and it feels like a golden age. And I've still to wade into Gommera. There's a Storyville on the iplayer called 'last men in Aleppo' about the White Helmets who dig people out of bombed houses. I never thought I'd see anything that would make me half want to go and fight in Syria against the bastard Assad and the Russians.

"Mallard, that sounds good as I was starting to feel it was a bit slow but moving enough to keep the interest going. He's just been told he's gone into remission so I did wonder if it would start to pick up. I loved the exploding head. I watched Banshee a while ago and got to the 4th season and decided it had gotten a bit samey and farfetched as in too much happening in a small backwater town without the 'Fed's' getting involved earlier"

"The Duece is excellent, ain't anybody better at making TV shows like David Simon (The Wire) Currently half way through Dark, German show on Netflix. Excellent so far."

"Watched a few episodes of Banshee, quite enjoyed them but wasn't hooked. Mind you, I didn't take to Breaking Bad either. I've now watched the first 6 episodes of season 3 of Gomorrah and all I can say is F O M B. Absolutely brilliant TV, as good if not better than the other seasons. The only slight negative are the subtitles, which have come out a lot quicker than normal and there seem to be various versions done by different firms, which is unusual to say the least. They're not the best ever so you might want to wait until something more official appears."
