"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?"

"The Capture started out well, but this week's episode went beyond that all-too-common tipping point of complete incredulity. Without giving too much away (spoiler alert!) the plot by the world's most unlikely underground movement (full of highly paid radical lawyers who seem to have an inordinate amount of spare time on their hands and poverty-stricken relatives of victims of crime), plotted from their bunker inside a post-apocalyptic nightclub from Mad Max (which is definitely where you would find highly-paid barristers), seemed, shall we say, a little ""needless"" given what they were trying to achieve. If you can readily prove that video can be doctored, which they could, then who the fuck would put their entire lives at risk by taking on the CIA/MI6/MI5 and others by plotting an elaborate disappearing act - not to mention a potential perversion of the course of justice - just to make the point? Nope. It went from decent conspiracy thriller to over-the-top fagash from the Marvel Comic generation. I'm out."

"I'd recommend 'The Capture' on BBC, last episode next week, if you can hang on, then watch them all on I-player. Same sort of thing for 'The Confession' on ITV, last one next week, Martin Freeman and Imelda Staunton are excellent in that."

They're not related at all. All 4 versions are just 3 episodes set in a police interrogation room with completely different stories. I imagine it was only done like that for marketing purposes. Netflix try to make original content for most of their markets anyway and doing it this way might encourage viewers to watch more of the foreign stuff.

Watched the first 2 myself. What’s the story with the different version of it being released. When I first seen it I thought they might have been tied in or something

"I recommend Criminal on Netflix. Basically one or two act plays set in a police interrogation room, with a semblance of story outside regarding the detectives' personal lives. Watched the first two so far. David Tennant and Hayley Attwell respectively playing the suspects. Both very good (though Agent Carter can't quite hold a chav accent). Interestingly (or not depending on what you find interesting) other countries' versions have been released at the same time on the platform."

"“Comedians in cars getting coffee” If you don’t like Seinfeld’s style of observation comedy it probably not your thing. They’re only 15-20 long except the one with Eddie Murphy but very funny. Some great classic cars, close ups of coffee machines and coffee being made and some of the biggest names in (mostly American) stand up comedy."

"Couple of one off dramas i watched a year or 2 a go that are well worth a watch. The night manager with Tom Hiddlestone - pretty sure it was a BBC thing https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1399664/ The night of, about a young lad accused of murder and how being in the prison system in America completely corrupts https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2401256/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1"

"If you haven’t watched it The Deuce is brilliant. One of my favourite programs ever. Snowfall is another, all about the start of crack cocaine in south central LA."

"Looking forward to Top Boy. Just in the middle of When They See Us on Netflix, true story of 5 teenagers stitched up for a rape in a New York park in 1989, pretty powerful stuff."
