"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,Claudius isn't on Britbox. I just took out a free month's trial for it and it's a very poor showing for classic dramas. It's got Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Boys from the Blackstuff, but I was hoping for Singing Detective, Monocled Mutineer, Pennies from Heaven, Edge of Darkness, etc. Don't know what Britbox are playing at really. Maybe they want to rotate stuff in and out so there's always something ""new"", but instead of being a curated outlet for the best of British TV it's a pretty shallow affair really."

"The first two episodes of the Queen's Gambit were good, but I started getting bored with it in episode 3 and I thought episode 4 was really boring! Three more episodes to go, and I'm not sure if I can be bothered to watch them. As someone else pointed out on this thread, the programme suffers from the usual Netflix wokeness (strong female character against the world, unlikeable male characters etc.)"

"Oh, and what a cast of thespians I,Claudius has might I add. Derek Jacobi, Sian Phillips, Brian Blessed, George Baker, Margarat Tyzack and the wonderful John Hurt and Patrick Stewart in supporting roles. Even Christopher Biggins turns up to do a turn as a camp Nero. Brilliant cast, haha."

"Hermit Road 6:04 Mon Jan 4 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I'm watching it through the now 'old fashioned' way, through a DVD boxset. It is strange that it's not on any on the streaming sites. I haven't bothered with Britbox, perhaps it's on there? I know it's repeated occasionally on BBC4."

Swiss. 6:47 Mon Jan 4 Yeah far to many people knowing too much already although finding out via the mobile call that he stopped for fuel was to me a bit of a sherlock Holmes !!! Will the Judge turn into a Walter White as in Breaking Bad I suppose he already has !! I can't wait :-)

"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.
