"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?"

"Bit old but finished the latest season of Startup on Prime. Not amazing but good enough to keep going. Martin Freeman in earlier series and Ron Perlman in later ones.. Edi Gathegi, an actor I didn't know much from is good throughout."

I’ve just watched the first two episodes of Hanna on Prime. Looks pretty good so far.

"Not very original, or new, but Justified for me all day long. Even after Elmore Leonard's death when he was acting in a production/directorial role, the series maintained the whip-sharp dialogue that was Leonard's hallmark. Excellent core cast, along with regular cameo/short-term appearances from such as Eric Roberts, Sam Phillips, Mary Steenburgen etc. My favourites were Neil McDonagh as Robert Quarrels (season 3) , Walt Goggins as Boyd Crowder, Jeremy Davies as Dicky Bennett and Margo Martindale as his mother - the scary Mags. Sorry to go on at length, but if I say I've watched all six seasons 30 times I'm probably underestimating. Sure it has some unevenness and flat spots, but that was mainly early on before it hit it's stride. Usual disclaimers, see what you think."

"Kidders - the beginning of season 3 is notoriously slow, stick with it and things will hot up at the end of the series. Btw - thanks all for The Sopranos, excellent viewing"

Enjoyed love death & robots. Short animated series. Bit of a black mirror feel to them.

"Just finished True Detective 3. The acting is great with Stephen Dorff and Mahershala Ali as the cops and a lot of good minor characters. The plot was set up well with several nods to TD1, but ran out of steam a bit maybe in the last episode."

Any recommendations for a bit of Sci-Fi on Netflix? I have it for my son and don't watch a great deal of telly but could do with some escapism.

"So far my favourites are Shut Up and Dance and Fifteen Million Credits, but then I would watch Daniel Kaluuya in anything. I also loved Nosedive. The ending was really uplifting and choked me up a bit. The only episode I haven't enjoyed is the one with the robot dog gone rogue, but that's because I find Maxine Peake utterly repellent."
