"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?"

Bloody hell Zico you think this is slow? You should watch some other Netflix stuff where they really drag it out. Three  episodes in and I think it's pretty good. 

Not totally convinced of De Niro as an ex President. Problem is when I see him now I always think of Meet The Fockers.

Do the early episodes still stand up to the test of time?

Or would you suggest I pile in on the latest series and just pick things up as they go along?

It's always sunny in Philadelphia, if you've not watched it, give it a go, starts off great and gets funnier and funnier  
I've thought about watching this as I think I would like it, but it's 170 episodes ffs, so puts me off.

Would you say it's better than Everybody Loves Raymond?
Imagine Family Guy as a sitcom, but even more gross/non PC and funnier.

I'd watch the first 4 seasons and then bin it off if I were you.
Finished Season 4 last night. I’ll carry on for now. Still enjoying it but will see where it goes from here.

We've been watching The Decameron on Netflix.

A few episodes in. Not side-splittingly funny but decent and will probably appeal to fans of The Great.
