"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?"

"May I recommend, Evil on Sky/NowTV I saw a review of it saying its the best series you'd never heard of. Its excellent, sort of a cross between X Files and the Exorcist. Very quirky, it straddles a line between being creepy and barking mad. There are times when it is serious and occasionally quite moving, and others when it is laugh out loud funny. The writers are very clever and are obviously having a whale of a time and the cast are excellent, especially the lead actress. I highly recommend it, its fun and clever. Youre welcome!"

"Finished Hijack - Enjoyable, no doubt, but as said a ridiculous motive and plot holes and loose ends galore, but good TV for sure. I really like Maskell, but don't think this role suited him, was from convincing as the chief hijacker, Elba was OK."

"O1BB If you enjoyed the very Canadian humour that is Schitz's Creek, I can recommend Corner Gas. Similar humour without the slightly annoying amounts of gay."

Just seen Masters of the Air is finally being released starting sept 20th on Apple+ Hoping it’s as good as Band of Brothers and not like The Pacific.

We recently finished Unforgotten season 2. Staring Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar. Excellent storytelling and thought it was much better than season 1. It's an ITV series....I downloaded it so didn't have to suffer the adverts.

The first series of Top Boy was directed by Londoner Yann Demange. He made the film ‘71 not long after and it looked like his career was about to explode but it didnt. Shame. Anyway he made a series called Lovecraft County in 2020. Anyone seen it? Any good?

"Recently finished the book 'Top boy' was based on, will watch the tv show as a result. Another thumbs up for Scitz Creek, I found it hilarious in parts. Nearly finished 'Dopesick' excellent series so far."

"I'm looking forward to Top Boy, Manuel. Hopefully they end it well."
Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
"Gem's on the old roof rack these days, bang on the brown. and Swiss, you're massively wrong. Top Boy is brilliant regardless of whether you like the way they speak etc its accurate to how the 'yoof' of today speak and act. I think its a brilliant bit of British tv. Russ, love Schitts Creak. Catherine O'Hara is magnificent in it, comedy genius."

We're half way through Shitts Creek at the moment. Light hearted and funny. Worth a watch.

"Manuel 6:01 Mon Sep 4 ''The final series of Top Boy is out this week"" Giacomo Manchini who plays Gem went to the same Primary School as my boys and they were mates."

"Not sure if it's been mentioned before but Black Bird is worth a watch, true story and fairly well acted."

"Swagger is well worth a watch. It follows a young kid's rise in basketball, whilst trying to overcome the racism in America. No need to like basketball to enjoy it."

Just started watching The Americans on catch up C4. Looking like top drawer.
