"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?"

"Found The Mandalorian on a free streaming site, first episode was brilliant and has the original trilogy feel to it. The second episode was also good although very little storyline in it, feels like the series could just be a nostalgic trip through those original film back drops with some familiar looking characters and ships. I don’t actually mind that really!"

"ancient history by current standards - but the Cracker box set is well worth a watch - Coltrane of course, but Eccleston ,Tomlinson and all the guest stars add to a great TV series."

"Watched the first episode of the Mandalorian last night too, not really huge into Star wars, maybe im a bit young but it was pretty decent, think its the flagship show for the new Disney plus service which im not sure how many people will actually pay for. Must be about 5 or 6 different services now all wanting decent subscription fees each month, this is why i download everything and have never paid for any of these services in my life."

"Gone back and watching a show called ""the night of"" which was a bbc original i think a few years ago, about a young timid guy who gets accused of murder and just how much the prison system changes him. Brilliant one off series well worth a watch for anyone."

"Just started watching Halt and Catch Fire on Amazon Prime, set in the early 80’s around a computer company building PCs to take on IBM, quite good so far. I think it’s available as a complete series, there’s 4 seasons between 2014-2017."

"Watching 'Wayne' on YouTube premium. Funny as fuck, reminds me a bit of Kickass. Very strange and well written. First episode is free. Then the rest of them are free too- if you know where to look."

"Johnny - Yep, it's only 20 episodes catch up so I'm gonna stick with it. I am very fussy on what I start on, if I'm literally going to invest many hours watching a show it can't just be okay, like many of them are."

"Started on Netflix's The Kominskey method, comedy with Michael Douglas, after a chum reco'd it. Not hilariously funny by any means, but a nice very watchable sitcom type, a little like Afterlife that Gervais did. This is written by the same geezer that did Two an a half men. Anyone else seen it?"

"Finished season 2 of Jack Ryan last night, very good again if not a little far fetched at times, John Krainski is turning into a real star but it's still almost impossible not to just think of him as Jim Halpert"

"The trailer for the fourth series of The Expanse, due in December, is now out. If you like a bit of hard sci-fi, it's good fun. Fourth series of Fargo has also now been filmed, out next year."
