"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?"

You've basically said the same things a few times when Slow Horses is mentioned.....so who is the bore? I think it's the one living in a Tenko hut......

I don't think Slow Horses is there to be sensible and factual tbh.......so the odd farfetched storyline will be in the mix I guess.....I mean does MI5 actually have a shabby shit hole building where all their fuck ups work? Just go with the flow of it and hope the characters remain entertaining.

"Really liked Slow Horses too, but for me it all got rather silly and far fetched in the third series when MI5 were sent into that building to try to murder the dogs."

Yeah same here Swiss. I downloaded 3 or 4 episodes for a flight to Tenerife. I’ve ended up doing all three seasons sitting up late at night once the Mrs and son have gone to sleep.

"Really enjoyed the first 7 eps of Presumed Innocent but the denouement seems to be plucked from nowhere. A great crime thriller should allow someone in the house to exclaim 'I told you so', not all going 'ehh?'"

Duke of Devo Yeah The Veil was OK but her English accent was a bit unconvincing for me.

Presumed Innocent is very good but similar to The Undoing in the plot.
