"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?"

"I find Gervais unlikely. The best stuff he did was written with Stephen merchant, who was obviously the talented one."

I watched The Sinner 3. Not great. Unlike the first 2 there wasn't any twists towards the end when it kind of all made sense and everything fell into place. Also some ridiculous holes in it. Still a decent watch though.

"I doubt i'll bother with After Life 2 - daft idea given the premise. I love Gervais and as good as the first After Life was, when he goes into sentimental overdrive like the final episode, it's all a tad vomit inducing. Loving Ozark at the moment."

I’ve just watched series 1 of Fortitude. Don’t know why I didn’t watch it before. It’s pretty good stuff. Hermit - thought series 1 was excellent. 2 and 3 no where near as good.

"I really like Ricky Gervais and thought Afterlife was decent enough so watched Afterlife 2 last night. I thought it was pretty poor. Anyone other than Gervais and it would be getting hammered. It may still do? It was just going for the easy laughs with the word ‘cunt’ used all the time and just pointless crude shit that wasn’t funny. The psychiatrist character played by Paul Kaye has turned into an unrealistic prick and they just threw in the odd sad moment with tears to try to pull on the heart strings. Obviously there were some funny moments but as a whole it was bang average at best. Everything about it seemed weak and forced,"

Done 3 episodes of Manhunt series 2. This time about bombing of Atlanta Olympics 1996. First series about Unibomber. Both decent.

Been watching ' stig of the dump' re-runs on UK TV Stoner. Worth a watch if youve not seen. Way before its time - the tale of a common / normal bloke - who lives in and around a civil dump. And fucking stinks. The first episode see's stig in the dump - the second see's him traversing around the fringes of the dump - and the thurd and final episode see's him immersing himself once again within the dump. As a piece of televisual art - it is unparalleled. It was the first time a working class dump had been seen on the big screen. It was the first time a smelly fucking cսnt like stig had been taken seriously as not just an actor but as a smelly fucking ruminant. It was the first BBC series to contain a lesbian scouser owl and to depict lesbianism amongst the scouse animal / owl community.

I have seen there is a Talking sopranos podcast on youtube. Looks like 2 of the cast members ( moltisanti and bacala) are going to go through every episode.

"Up to date with Call Saul, excellent , Curb season 10 as ever brilliant every episode is genius. Finally got round to an old one someone mentioned here. Jesus, the The Evil genius and the most diabolical bank heist, hillbillies again, unbelievable, makes Don´t fuck with cats a stroll in the park. Currently giving Killer Inside The Mind of Aaron Hernandez, a multi millionaire NFL player accused of murder, it is no OJ Simpson , but still worth a watch if you like a true crime doc."

"Cor Blimey - I watched the first one to see if it was any cop. Next thing you know, it's 5am and I'm meant to be starting 'working from home' in 3 hours! I'd done the lot in one sitting. Great bit of telly."
