"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?"

I noticed The Jackal is getting good reviews.

Giving Rivals a go, not really sure what to make of it all.

The Day if the Jackal is fucking excellent. The soundtrack is also very good. 

Milly/Cheval/Fromage/Leave etc the sad cսnt with 4 user names is a clueless cսnt.

Yep, still a good watch. I see Line of Duty is coming back.

Going to give The Responder a go with Martin Freeman, hear that it's good.
I think I might join you ..(the responder).
Line of duty ?...that is nails
Appreciate the offer, but will probably watch alone.

Get Shorty passed me by too - and after a bit of a Google I found this article on a few good shows that people seem to be totally unaware of their existence.

Justified - City Primeval

Not as good as the original, but perfectly OK and nice to see Raylan in the old stetson again.

IRL no way does the ugly, fat, black lawyer get to pull Timothy Olyphaunt, I suspect. Nursie will adjudicate, I'm sure.

Finished first series of Blue Lights  - I started to struggle with it a bit and the hour long episodes. I get they are trying to make it feel 'real' grizzly Belfast, and all that, but ultimately the viewer wants to be entertained, it's just a bit too 'serious' and in some a little depressing. Line of Duty is way better.

Thanks for that recommendation Council. The Get Shorty series flew under my radar. Watching Season1 now.

Tulsa King is back for a second season.  Hardly The Sopranos, but an entertaining watch.

Did read there is a 3rd series being made of Blue Lights.

Not sure I would have it as good as Line of duty but it would be close, thing I found with Blue Lights is that it gets better as each episode unravels, series 2 picks up where one left off but throws in another story line that unfolds as the episodes progress.
