"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'm watching 'I, Claudius' at the moment. The BBC production from 1976. Fantastic viewing and is far superior to most modern dramas."

I got VERY close to binning off Cobra Kai at the end of series 2 because of the amount of teen angst that was in it. I felt old watching it. I might start the 3rd series this week and hope for the best.

If anyone likes crime / mafia shit then Fear City & Operation Odessa on netflix are quite good.

"jfk 8:44 Sun Jan 3 Yep, agree. A lot of these series are crap with rank acting. I wouldn't watch Cobra Kai if someone paid me to. However, there is some great stuff out there. Probably stating the obvious, but the well known ones are the best ones. I find when someone recommends something random that isn't well known, it's usually shite."

"DukeofDevo 8:07 Sun Jan 3 It's def not as good as some say on here, but it's just the one season so will finish it for sure. If Cranston wasn't in it it would be nothing. The mafia family is ridiculous, and blowing up the house and murdering kids wasn't needed, they had already killed one of the family for nothing."

"Most boxset tele stuff is for divs with a lack of common. Sopranos ,the wire the obvious exceptions. Watched a couple of cobra Kia jobs. Great watch for early teen boppers but a Load of shit. Nothing wrong with a bit of escapism but far too many watch fucking shit because they’ve paid watch absolute fucking shit. Swiss being a prime example who should really get out more even if it’s just a local high end square to dine on a Moroccan hipputabe homous fellatial squirat with flat leaf parsley. I’ve. Got sky full package,Netflix,prime and apple(only on the phone) please recommend something decent ."

"Manuel 7:33 Sun Jan 3 Up to the 4th episode and the protagonists are getting a bit tangled up, annoying to watch, found myself shouting at the telly! Got a touch of Dostoyevsky and Crime and Punishment at the moment!"
