"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?"

Not really a box set but the Life of Crime 1984-2020 documentary on sky/HBO is probably the most disturbing yet brilliant yet sad but thought provoking thing I've seen in a while. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it or its just messed me up. Powerful shit.

On Prime there’s an Argentinian show called Yosi The Regretful Spy If you’re happy with subtitles I highly recommend it. Very atmospheric based in the late 80s and the mid nauties. 👍👍👍

4 episodes into The Offer. It's excellent. Mathew Goode is masterful as Rob Evans. Emmy material. Man Rob Evans produced some classics. Didn't realise Sinatra was such a knob.

"Nurse Ratched 6:44 Thu Oct 6 Sounds good. I need to get Netflix back at some point to see the second series of Mindhunter, the last season of Fargo, and the end of Better Call Saul (though that might be AMC+ here)"

"Northern Sold 11:55 Thu Oct 6 Yeah, brilliant series. Evan Peters deserves a lot of credit. Always been great in American Horror Story but this was superb."

IoC I absolutely loved The Good Place. Have a feeling you would too. It's silly but also clever and heartwarming. Plus you'll have a good few series before that absolute repellent C##T Maya Rudolph pitches up and slimes up her scenes with her physical disgusting...ness and profound lack of talent. Luckily her influence is limited.

Nurse I mentioned that Blake Bortles officiallly retired but it was probably wasted on the NFL thread. We got busy and ended Netlflix and I never finished The Good Place (not sure if its on there here). Worth it? Have started the Yellowjackets with mixed but somewhat compelling results (will report back) .

Anyway... that Evan peters... one hell of an actor...

"Yeah, The Offer is very good. Much better than the critic reviews. Probably lucky it got made at all seeing as Armie Hammer was set to play the lead role. Just as well he got cancelled and dropped out before they started filming and not during or after."

I can't believe this LotR series cost so much. Very underwhelming. Battle scenes are shit. Just generally it's garbage.

"Ted,my Mrs has just finished 'Dahmer' and she said its compelling viewing whilst being totally fucked up. I'm halfway through 'The Offer' on Paramount + and i think its excellent. It helps if you're a fan of 'The Godfather' as being familiar with the charaters makes it easier to follow. Really good watch and would recomend it highly."
