"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?"

"First 3 seasons of BCS are painfully slow, but well worth sticking with for the Nacho story and the episode in the desert. That Kim Wexler would get it as well !"

"I'm the same. Loved Breaking Bad, and never got into BCS. I think I had my fill though when Breaking Bad finished. I just got up to date with Peaky Blinders. Thought I'd hate it before I had even watched a minute of it, but was sucked in pretty quickly. Looking forward to season/series 6 of it."

"Manuel 12:02 Tue May 5 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I'm 3 seasons in to BCS after finally watching BB last year. As expected it's not a patch on BB. I find Goodman very irritating most of the time, and the tv film crew thing is just fucking terrible. Still, it's worth watching just for a splattering off BB characters, especially Mr happy, Mike. I agree with this. I am a huge fan of Breaking Bad, but I just couldn't get into Better Call Saul at all. I watched about 5 episodes from S1 and just found it too slow and tedious and you're right, Goodman is rather annoying in larger doses."

"Caliphate About ISIS and the radicalisation of young girls in Sweden who want to go to Raqqa. Seen from both angles, out there and how it's not so rosy and in Sweden where they are told lies to go out there. Netflix Bloody superb"

"“The Middle” all seasons on Amazon Prime, brilliant comedy, family friendly but doesn’t over do the Schmaltz like a lot of American sitcoms do."

Just finished The Sopranos for the second time (lockdown treat). Only problem is the length of time I'll need to leave it before I can really enjoy watching it all again.

"Not a box set..yet Good new series on Apple TV ""Defending Jacob"" . Highly recommend and at 8.5/10 on imdb I'm not the only one who thinks it's good. If you don't have ATV like me then there's loads of torrent sites out there."

"I’m sticking with it but was maybe expecting to much with the way it’s raved about. The bloke who plays Genny gets on my tits as well. I preferred Narcos, thought the bloke who played Escobar was superb."

"Gomorrah is a great series and the fact you have to read the subtitles means you give it 100% attention, unlike some series when there is loads of dialogue it's easy to get distracted."

"The Sopranos , Breaking Bad and the Wire take some beating....all masterpieces but very different. And GOT for a full on binge watch if you like that sort of thing. More recently ... Gomorrah, Narcos , Better Call Saul , Ozark are all brilliant series. Not quite up to that standard but very good nevertheless imo Justified , Banshee, Bosch, Deadwood. For comedy series Entourage Curb your Enthusiasm , Fleabag well worth a watch. The Ricky Gervais series After Life very good too. I liked White Gold , the comedy about 1980s Essex double glazing salesman, very funny. And if you’ve not seen Tiger Joe watch it. Redneck America at its best and worst , insane real life characters."

"Stowie.40 2:51 Mon Apr 27 Gomorrah not a patch on Narcos??? dont get me wrong i enjoyed Narcos, but Gomorrah is in a different league IMO. Suburra Blood on Rome is in a similar vein and i enjoyed that as well, maybe on par with Narcos, but still well behind Genny, Ciro and Don Peitro."
