Line of duty was top class until the finale. Massive let down. We’re half way through season 3 of happy valley and I think it’s superb. Will finish this then crack on with season 2 of yellowjackets

"It's not really rock'n'roll though is it, it's charleston crossed with line dancing......the story is all the same poor people struggling to get food on the table so the women sell their bodies.....add in the Nazi element and we all know already what cunts they were whatever era of them it was......."

"I cant think of many other rise of the nazi sex drugs and rick n roll tv shows. They do subtitles. However, I guess you’re referring to the aesthetics which probably are German. Theres plenty of artistic licence and its definitely driven by the original book’s vision and story. Very interesting time and place though. The end of one era and the start of the next."

"The Wire is a tricky one. I personally loved it but I know it's quite marmite It's very jarring between season 1 and 2, where you expect things to pick up where they left off, but they don't- it just goes straight into the stevedore story but then you get more used to the focus on future seasons being about an aspect of Baltimore intertwined with, rather than strictly police/gangs/drugs. It can be hard to understand some of the dialogue in season 1 as well. As an aside, if anyone enjoyed The Wire and hasn't seen the recent 'We Own This City', then I really recommend it. Fantastic stuff, only 6 eps, and makes sense if you haven't watched The Wire anyway."
