"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?"

"Bit late to the party with The Killing, enjoying it but 20 episodes is far to long. After that think l will switch back to Season 4 of Dpiral and see how Laure is getting on!"

"Got around to watching Top Boy. Didn't think it was that great, but it did get better as it went along and the story lines developed. Didn't bother with the original summerhouse ones which I think was the right decision innit."

Ozark is a bit of harmless fun. It also dispelled the myth that all Hillbillies are brainless morons who eat and fuck each other.

I thought Ozarks was ridiculous. Some good acting but ludicrous storylines. It just seems to be a vehicle for Hollywood types to point at Middle America and laugh about how stupid they are.

Can't wait for season 4 of Ozark. Arguably the best series around. Btw it took me 2 attempts to get into this. I don't think it starts too well but boy give it 3-4 episodes and you're hooked.

"I think The Shield is pretty much a one off for long running series, especially those with a continuous main storyline. Normally they run out of steam within 3 or 4 seasons but The Shield actually builds up momentum in 5, 6 and 7 and ends perfectly."

"only 4 so far, I've seen random episodes before and thought ""I should watch this"" but then never did. Like it so far and can see how it's one that develops as you get into the characters...think you can tell a lot by that, if you're interested in the characters only a couple episodes in then you know it's going to be good. Can see the opposite in a lot of Scandinavian series after The Killing and The Bridge...you'd watch other ones and then a few episodes in think ""I don't care what happens to ANY of these characters""...just not worth the watch. reckon you should give Spiral another go!"

Am I the only one who's watched Yellowstone (I've been the only one to mention it on here it seems)? I've just finished it and thought it was brilliant.
