"I watched The Night Agent, back to back last weekend. The first episode is probably the best, and it goes slowly downhill after that, but it must have been ok otherwise I wouldn't have made it all the way through."

The Night Agent on Netflix worth a watch! Won’t go down as a classic but entertaining none the less!

"Justified is superb, fact i can't get the missus to watch it makes me want to throw her over the balcony considering all the utter shite she wastes hours watching. Stupid bitch won't watch Deadwood either which is also top drawer!!! Currently on the 4th season of Gomorrow, really is must watch TV."

The Test on Amazon prime is a great watch uf yiu're a fan of test cricket. It focuses on the re building of the Australian team undet Justin Langer after the cheating incident (sandpapergate) in South Africa. Real fly on the wall stuff.

"If we're all reminiscing and taking a trip down memory lane, bless, then Justified should be worth a shout. Not top tier, but very good IMO."

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."
