"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?"

Good 6 parter called The Veil well worth a watch Modern spy/terrorism shenanigans with a side of Shemama Begum thrown in! Also The Sympathizer if you like a bit of ‘Nam action/storyline!

Really enjoyed The 8 Show on Netflix. Few parallels with Squid Game. Absolutely brutal in places and a tough watch but really good.

"I’m surprised no one had mentioned Sugar. I think it’s really good. If you like LA Confidential and Muholland Drive , Raymond Chandler. Dashell Hammett etc you’ll like it."

Jeff Daniels is good in Man in Fall on Netflix and Sarah Jones is very easy on the eye

Dark Matter is worth a watch. Sci fi drama about parallel universes starring Joel Edgerton & Jennifer Connelly.

"Wentworth is good, but I never made it to the end. I watched Baby Reindeer, kind of enjoyable, all very bizarre though."

3 épisodes into Yellowjacket and basically it’s Lord of The Flies with skirts. I won’t persevere. 2 episodes into White Lotus and can someone tell me what the big deal is with this series ? I might skip to Season 2 as it has Audrey Plaza in it as I fucking love her.

"Watched the first two eps of Baby Reindeer and won't be watching a third. It's two unlikable characters who have mental health problems. Though the actress who plays Martha is excellent, despite the material given to her."

I've watched first ep of Fall Out. It was okay and I'll give ep 2 a go. I didn't get on with Yellow Jackets. Found it quite slow.
