"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 like Succession, but can be a hard watch at times, a bit laborious with the full 1 hour episodes, sometimes seems like nothing is happening. The old man is by far the best character and steals every scene he's in. Quite fancy the daughter, Chiv."

The Succession episode in S3 that dropped yesterday/Sunday - Kendall’s 40th birthday party - was outstanding.

I watched the first episode of succession and wasn't that fussed. I'm guessing it gets interesting at some point then?

"Scorch, that's spot on. If they were just caricatures of evil rich bastards it'd still be funny but would lose its dramatic edge. Not started s3 yet but for me the first two are up there with the best series ever made. The writer/creator Jesse Armstrong has a great track record - Peep Show, The Thick of it, 4 Lions, In the Loop, etc."

It's absolute class. I love how they keep messing with your sympathy or otherwise toward each character- particularly the siblings. All despicable in most ways but each occasionally inviting quite a lot of empathy despite always motivated by greed or pursuit of recognition. The interplay and ever changing dynamic between them is very well done. Logan is the only constant.

Sydney the link worked for me using a VPN. I started episode 1 but there was no recap and it just followed on from season 4 so I'll rewatch the last episode from season 4 first before I continue. Cheers

"Watched the first 2 episodes of season 5 of Gomorrah, just really picks up from where season 4 finishes and introduces a few new characters plus bumping off a few others! Was enjoying it until the last few mins in the first episode, and that ending is then confirmed by the opening scenes of episode 2, without giving it away its a bad move from those who made it IMO and is detrimental to the series, let sleeping dogs lie and all that..... Time will tell"

"Didn't realise season 5 was out, not made it's way onto Pirate Bay yet, and yes it is the last series. Anyone seen Fargo 4? It's not had good reviews."

"Not sure if its mentioned (not trawling through the thread) but season 5 of Gomorrah is out, haven't seen it yet but if its even half as good as the first 4 seasons it will be well worth watching, this will be the last in the series from what i read. Also if you have not seen it the spin off movie ""The Immortal"" its well worth a view."
