"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?"

"Read back a few pages of this thread and I am surprised nobody has mentioned Culprits (and I apologise if you have). Only watched one so far but thought the storytelling and cinematography was great. The black actor playing the lead is fucking great and as the plot is set in America and (perhaps maybe strangely) Stratford his accent(s) are impeccable. For some reason it reminds me of one of those superhero films. Maybe because the production and colouring is stupidly expensive looking but I can't wait to watch episode two after freezing my bollocks off today watching our shower of shit at the London Stadium. Get a VPN, uTorrent and type 'pirate proxy' into your browser and cancel your Apple TV, Disney plus, Amazon prime, Paramount plus and all the other subscription bollocks pickpocketing you and your children just before Christmas. The missus who has worked in TV for 25 years has just been let go AGAIN as the smaller streaming companies get bought out by bigger companies hoovering up content. I'm not a betting man but if you are you can put your dough into a smaller company (anyone not Disney plus, Amazon prime, Netflix, Apple TV, Paramount plus, iPlayer, Britbox (debatable) you'll be laughing. Who the fuck in the UK wants to pay for five subscriptions to watch Star Wars spinoffs and Friends reunions?"

"I use to binge watch but I can't do it these days, for various reasons, so now prefer the old way of one show a week, that way I watch it instead of having hours of tv on my pc that I'd probably never get around too, if that makes sense."

"aryMillingtonsGhost 2:06 Sun Dec 3 Also clocked “The Old Cow” As said already a good part of town.Even now.!! Agree,shame this series is a weekly release (cant remember waiting about for the previous two ,could be wrong) looking forward to Wednesday."

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

"fk 4:32 Great series, just a shame it’s only shown weekly as it’s a series easily viewed in one sitting. Was lovely seeing a brief shot of the Old Red Cow. Spent a fair few boozy afternoons and evenings in there when I worked in Bartholomew Close."

[jfk]

"Watched the first two episodes of series three Slow horses tonight,glad to report it’s as good as ever. Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) back to his obnoxious best."

[New Jersey]

"Another shout for Scrublands, thought it was very good! Also liked another Aussie drama, The Newsreader, enjoyed both series."

[paul6565]

Just finished Scrublands on BBC 4 - Very good Australian drama. Enjoy.

[Manuel]

"jfk - Yep, always adds to the interest. I think Slow Horses is the only real series I have watched all year."

[jfk]

"Incidentally ,loads of Slow Horses was filmed around the Barbican/Goswell Road,Clerkenwell …… A part of Town I’m familiar with(office close to Barbican Station) which on a personal note makes the programme even more interesting. Third new series Apple TV starts Wednesday."

[CanningTownWA]

"Criminal Code on Netflix Brazilian cop, armed bank gang series Best thing I’ve seen lately Plenty of action but well written, filmed and good story"

[jfk]

Oops ffs

Scrublands available on iplayer is worth a watch. Four part drama set in the wilds of Australia.recommend

"Boat Story Was excellent, great characters, happy ever after, sort off."

[Alfs]

"Boat Story jumps the shark, IMO. Slow Horses returns next week. Now that's a show!"

[LeroysBoots]

The Boat on BBC1 is insane! Highly recommend the Tarantinoesque drama Some brutal scenes in it

"Percy Dalton 7:42 Sun Nov 5 In Season 3 episode 2 of Justified - Raylan's boss, Art Mullen and Bill Nicolls ( another former Marshall and friend who was subsequently murdered ) were wallowing in nostalgia and pondering how they would have stacked up against the oldbreed. The name of Bass Reeves came up and Art said something like - "" Wait till Denzel finds out about him "" - can't remember exactly, but perhaps that sowed the seed for ""Lawmen"""

[Iron Duke]

"I’m five episodes out of eight into Bodies and have decided to give up. What a steaming pile of shit. Terrible writing, crap acting, full of cliched bollocks. I can’t believe I’ve wasted 5 hours of my life with this shit."

[zico]

"On Netflix I binged watched The Ripper, the 2020 docuseries about The Yorkshire Ripper. Seen a lot of the info etc before but it's well worth a watch if nothing else to see what a pigs ear the police made of it."
