"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?"

Yes I did that Manuel on the first few series especially with the scenery being so grim like on our inner London estates and kids being used etc. I am still reflecting on it now it’s ended but just loved being immersed in it’s story.

Manuel. I usually steam through a series but I'm going to watch Gomorrah 5 one at a time. Want to drag it out seeing as they'll be no more.

Side - I find myself sitting and reflecting on what I just watched after each episode. I can't watch an episode immediately after the other even if I wanted to and had the time. The score is superb too.

"Finished Gomorrah 5 inside a week, the whole thing was the absolute bollocks and it will be sorely missed and unlikely to ever be matched in it’s subject matter."

"Stay Close was good up until the last few episodes, felt like they rushed it as too many stupid things were happening. Just started True Story with Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes, very good so far. Clickbait was also excellent."

Best freak. Gomorrah has been on sky box sets for years. Half way through the latest season now. And it’s honestly the best show I’ve ever watched. The trailer for the new season of ozark is out. I think it’s on Netflix on the 21st of this month.

as a FYI - have noticed Sky Atlantic now have all the Gomarrah series. Where as previously (for me) they were only rentable via Amazon Prime.

"Wife and I are into the second series of ""The Sinner"", a good watch if you like puzzling murder investigation type programs. Noticed Narcos Mexico has a third series which I binged watched over Xmas, did feel it ended a bit abruptly and could of had a couple more episodes as a lot of what happened in the last episode was a few years apart. Loved both the Columbian and Mexican Narcos series equally."

"ray winstone 3:48 Wed Jan 5 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls Started on Yellowstone the other day, superb stuff, even the music is great! Totally agree Ray we're on series 3 and can't get enough of it...This is good news... n its fourth season, Yellowstone was once again one of TV’s most-watched properties, with a premiere that drew 10.5 million viewers and a finale that took in almost the exact same amount. Paramount Network has not officially confirmed Yellowstone season 5 just yet but with numbers like that, another go-around in the Dutton family’s wild world is an inevitability. In fact, Deadline reported in December that production on the fifth season was planned to begin in May 2022."

"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>?"
