"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?"

Slow Horses on Apple is worth the £4.50 per month alone. Gary Oldman is superb.

"Last series of Peaky Blinders now on Netflix (or at least here) will watch it to finish it off, but hear it's crap, so in no big hurry."

For anyone in to Star Trek... after the borefest/woke Discovery that I actually stopped watching (cos it was so shit) I'm really enjoying Strange New Worlds. Feels a bit more like the first Star Trek with Kirk etc. Let the slagging off commence...

Power: Force is a good watch. It's the follow on and is the Tommy Eagan story. He was the best character in Power for me so was always going to get a good review.

"Just watched ep1 of the new The Boys season 3. Well, I think I did. Or maybe someone spiked my cup of tea with a tab of acid. Which ever it was, I enjoyed it."

"Northern sold 2:32 Absolutely superb ain’t it. I started watching it a week ago as one of my mates said it was good. Have smashed through the first 3 seasons and just started 4th. Definitely a bit more adult. Agree about the attention to detail, very well made series. Murray the Russian talking conspiracy nut is a great character."

Finished The Last Kingdom. It's a good ride and an insight into life in the 800s. Very much worth a watch if you have 40 hours to spare.

Watched the 6 episodes of season 3 of Succession flying back and forward from Australia. Great writing & a great cast. Was thinking season 3 might be the end but left with story lines open and more to go. Read that the writing of season 4 is almost done and one of the exec producers said that there would be a maximum of 5 seasons but they might stop at 4.

"I know it's a bit late but I've just finished the first series of Succession tonight and I'm straight into series two. How the FUCK can you cast absolutely perfect actors and make a subject that SHOULD bore my arse off (Wall St billionaire kids with an absolute cսnt of a father) and make it so arch, funny and shocking at the same time? I haven't seen anything written so well since the first series of True Detective."

The Boys new season has started on Amazon and with Better Call Saul already into its final season. Ill wait until both have finished (Around late July.) Then put in a couple of binge sessions to make up for no World Cup footie in the summer. Fuck you. Sepp Blatter.!

"I think about 90% of the endless “box sets” that are churned out these days are fucking boring, contrived, over-thought shit, but Stranger Things has won me over this series. Bloody hell. It certainly won’t be everyone’s CUP OF TEA though."

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/may/27/stranger-things-4-review-bigger-better-and-more-gruesome-than-ever The attention to detail to the 80s is staggering... example the video shop... not just the video films... but also spot on with the boxes... walt disney vids you could not buy you could only rent from them and they came in big old white clunky boxes... spot on in the show rather than the latter ones you could actually buy...
