"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?"

She's the only character I genuinely despise. She's just a chippy vulgarian, stomping around the snowdrifts sneering about 'soft southerners' and their privilege, like Angela Rayner in fur knickers.
That reminds me of Lethal Weapon 2 which featured Patsy Kensit as a (supposedly) South African love interest for Mel Gibson. When she got killed (sorry, spoiler alert), I think we were supposed to feel Riggs' pain and anger.
I was just relieved that I wouldn't have to hear her 'South African' accent again for the rest of the film.
Too many lead characters make it much too far into films and TV programmes. Much better to mix it up and lose a few early on.

I've tried to get into this and watched some episodes fron SE01, SE02 and the first of SE03. I really can't see what all the fuss is about. It's just average.

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.

Anyone seen Zero Day with Robert De Niro on Netflix? I am two episodes in. The first half hour was intriguing but I am slowly wondering whether to just Google the plot and ending on Wiki as I am losing interest now. Worth sticking with?

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?

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

Finished Season 4 last night. I’ll carry on for now. Still enjoying it but will see where it goes from here.
