"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?"

"Gph If only. My mother- in-law loves the show but not sure if that is because it is filmed near where she lives. Partially filmed really, the parts where the mountains are right there are in Waterton near where my mom lives. (If any of you travel, pick Waterton over Banff, Jasper or even Kananaskis these days. The tourism is there but not as bad yet and you can still find some nature not dolled up. Unless you go for skiing, I guess.)"

Tin Star's not bad. Makes Canada seem like trench warfare - long periods of boredom punctuated by extreme violence (can't remember whose description of WW1 I'm ripping off here - sorry)

"Another vote for Haunting of Hill House. Just finished the Luke episode. If you fancy something warm and funny then The Kominsky Method is very much worth a watch. Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin on very good form. Written by Chuck Lorre, the chap behind Two and a half Men."

"Better Call Saul season 4. Ending with Jimmys closing line - "" It´s ( Saul ) all Good Man."" Excellent. Did not think the Spin off could last 4 seasons. Bob Odenkirk plays the character to perfection. Nice seeing the build up of the Gus empire and also Mike in it, another great character created by the writers. Was gutted he was written off in breaking bad. My memory is terrible was Mike an ex policeman or soldier, is there a series in Breaking Bad or Call Saul I have missed giving more detail of his past and how he ended up doing what he does in Albuquerque? Mr Mercedes or Billions? Which is the most entertaining or gripping? Trust WHO more so than Rotten tomatoes etc, seen some good films and docs etc from here. For light entertainment,comedy and good characters ,before I found Curb, I found the box-set the first 3 series of Arrested Development amusing. Mr Mercedes or Billions?"

"Completely agree regarding Mr Mercedes, I absolutely loved the first season with how dark and sinister the whole thing was, got 1 and a half episodes into season 2 and he starts mind controlling people from his coma. Should have just ended it after season 1"

"Another vote for 'Billions' I'd never heard of it, until a couple of weeks ago. I watched 7 or 8 episodes on route from Brisbane to LAX, and the same number on the way back. It certainly helped the time pass a bit quicker. Or, at least seem to, before some PEDANT feels the need to comment."

"Part way through Season 2 of Mr Mercedes and as much as I liked season 1 i'm thinking of ditching it. It's just got stupid. Incidentally, anyone who likes Dynasties with Attenborough, it's on iplayer in UHD for compatible TVs."

"Ray Donovan was shit last season too, they changed writers. Anyone that has attended a class at the BFI should have been able to immediately spot this and given it a huge swerve over a year ago...... ;-)"

"Dunno really mate, but imo this is the best it's been in a while. I've gave up on Narcos Mexico, absolutely appalling and with some shocking acting. A classic case of one too many."

Another Day yeah I felt that Ray Donovan had slipped a bit. Not sure I like the idea it being set in NY. It had a sleazy LA feeling about it I liked.

i've started Manifest. I like it. The main bloke is a bit of a wet blanket but there are plenty of twists to come i think

"The first 3 seasons of Narcos was the dogs...I'm 2 episodes into the new season and it's shit. On a positive, Ray Donovan is back on form this season, all based in NYC now."

"Let's just say Swiss that you only have to watch any of these Narcos series to wonder why so many people over here moan about everything and anything. Cunts don't know how lucky there are being born into such a fairly normal country, as those South American's are some mad fuckers. especially back then!!!"

Grumster Yeah its good how Narcos Mexico is running pretty much parallel from Narcos SE01. I assume it will link up with the end of SE03 which I actually thought was the best season even though it's not about Escobar but the Cali Cartel.
