"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?"

Ripley is excellent . Great acting and mise en scene . It’s true to Highsmith’s first book of the Ripliad. Although the story line follows closely as the great 90s film The Talented Mr Ripley it goes into more detail and is considerably darker.

"Swiss, yes, come to think of it. Burton with a bit of Tom Hardy. A good pick for the part. Every week that show gets better and better, particularly as Jarvis picks up more Japanese."

"I never really paid it much attention before but I’ve been watching ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ and it’s really good. Great characters, brilliant actors and really funny. An easy watch too as it’s around 25 minutes per episode."

"Finished The Old Man last night. Don't understand the problem with the flashbacks, as they go a long way to explaining why the story has got to where it is and don't really see how they could have done so without them without a ridiculous amount of exposition being involved. A solid 8/10 from me, and really looking forward to series 2."

"Manuel 5:34 Mon Mar 25 The ending definitely fizzled out in the last Ep you’re left wondering WTF! I think they did that because of Bridges illness! Most annoying thing for me are the fight scenes where an old timer overcomes younger fitter stronger personnel, he does have two dogs to help him though. I thought the two timelines were ok: yanks in Afghan helping to defeat the Russians If S2 wraps it all up that’ll be good"

"Duke - I'm reading season 2 of the old man is out later this year. Season 1 got mixed reviews, read it fizzled out and got stale after the first few eps and the flashbacks were annoying?"

Manuel 4:46 Thu Mar 21 I dont think they ever properly finished it! Jeff Bridges got Covid and was diagnosed with cancer! A good watch while it lasts.
