"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?"

"Billions is definitely worth watching, very interesting show and the acting is tremendous Damian Lewis is very good and Paul Giamatti is incredible in everything he does."

Sat through the first two episodes of Killing Eve. On the iPlayer. Really enjoying it. But anything with Fiona Shaw is worth watching.

Started watching Queen of the South on netflix this week Another cartel style series but with female lead. Main Character's bf gets killed by the cartel then she is sucked into working for the cartel before working her way up to leader of that cartel not quite narcos level but still a good watch

What’s Billions like? Need a new one to start. Fancied the Mentalist but can’t download the first series on Sky at the moment

Agree re the sweet talking Langmore kid. And yes the cartel lawyer is a very unsettling character.

"nurse, no she looks like her but the actress is some bird called lisa emery watched a decent first episode of a doc/drama called real detective. each episode is based on a real life case using actors to dramatise the crime/investigation and the actual detective that worked on the specific case narrating in between scenes. its surprisingly good"

"Re Janet McTeer: there is a very little known film called Hawks that she is in. If you get the chance to see it (it seems to have disappeared and it was never released on DVD, unless I'm mistaken) I recommend it."

"Yeah, the ACTRESS playing Ruth ran rings round the rest of 'em. Thought the whole thing was a little silly TBF."

"I love 'Ruth Langmore' in Ozark. Great character, terrific actress. Are we still allowed to say 'actress'?"

"Revisiting Morse via ITV player at the minute. All series available and a damned good watch. Castle Rock is good, if you like Stephen King. Can be downloaded via the US. Abandoned a couple of new US series, Succession and Sharp Objects. Interminably dull and no characters I could in any way link to. Enjoying Bodyguard at the moment but annoyingly having to wait for each episode."

"The last season of power I thought was probably the most shocking story wise, never saw a lot that happened coming. His wife is fine, proper down and loyal, not whiny at all."

Last season Power was a bit disappointing. But as I pointed out years ago it’s a great series. Yeah Ghost’s wife is a whinny bitch. Jack Ryan was ok.

"really enjoyed Ozark2. the actress who plays Ruth was the standout performance, the fella who played her Dad was also very good. respect too, to the producers for including Wichita Lineman in episode nine, no doubt an intended tribute"
