"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?"

"Agree with both of you, too long and dragged out Of all the adaptations The Stranger was probably the best of a bad bunch Also has Hannah John Kamen in it, she's fit ! BTW, Richard Armitage is in a few of these"

"LeroysBoots 6:58 Wed Jan 5 Are the others any good?! I just get bored too easily these days. That's why I like these dramas that are over and done with after three episodes. Silent Witness used to be great because it did 10 episodes but two per storyline and that was it, although it's too samey now. I couldn't stick with a Walking Dead or Lost etc, far too tedious."

"Anyone seen Netflix drama ""Stay Close"" all the way to the end? First episode was intriguing but I turned it off mid way through the second. Does it turn out decent or a snooze fest>?"

"ITV are doing a five part Ipcress File adaption this year. I love the film, much more than Bond. Sexy, gripping and mysterious. Lets hope they do it well."

"If anyone has enjoyed ""Yellowstone"", I can recommend ""1883"". John Dutton's ancestors on a wagon train type thing. Good cast, good acting - so far (I'm two episodes in, and had to watch the second straight after the first). The latest series of Gomorrah is excellent as well. Can't remember who recommended it on here a few years ago, but whoever it was - cheers!"

"If you've got hookey telly then I recommend finding Station Eleven (actually on HBO Max). Flu-based apocalypse drama that bounces around three different times. Watched the first two and I think it's got legs if you're into that sort of thing. Mackenzie Davis and Himesh Patel star at the moment, but I assume the cast is going to be added to. Something to watch while waiting for The Last of Us anyway."

Wheel of Time is shit and has 1/10th of the budget of GoT and like one good recongnisable actor. Not sure how Amazon what to rival HBO and Netflix as a streaming service if they don't want to spend. 2nd season of The Witcher is excellent.

"Joe C 10:22 Tue Dec 28 There's bits of his Robot books that continued after Foundation that are in this first series. You can watch it as a stand alone series, but if you've read all the books (were there 7?), it helps!"

"You absolutely do not have to have read Asimov’s books to watch Foundation. I’ve read them and the series (so far) is only very loosely based on parts of the first book. But, it’s still very good. Got better as it went along, and the last couple of episodes were superb - looking forward to the second series. Lee Pace particularly was excellent"

"BillC79 8:53 Tue Dec 28 Foundation is based on the Asimov series of books, so it helps if you've read them. It's ok - got Jarred Harris in it, so can't be bad really. Invasion was ok as well. Nothing that hasn't been done before though."

"Has anyone watched either of the sci fi series on Apple? One called Foundation, the other called Invasion. Just wondering if they’re any good. Agreed with those that likes White Lotus, Ted Lasso and Succession. Watched Wheel of Time on Amazon - alright if you liked GoT style stuff"

"If you want to be up to date, you have to either pay for it, or nick it off the internet at the mo. The Paramount Channel has shown the first two series, but still no sign of the third and fourth. Paramount+ is launching in the UK early next year and will be included with Sky Q - so should be available then"
