"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?"

Just finished the finale of The Studio. Fucking hilarious. Not laughed so much in ages. I just love Bryan Cranston.

For comedy the best thing on TV right now is The Studio. I see Seth Rogan has managed to get loads of A list celebrities to do cameos like Scorsese, Tom Howard, Steve Buscemi, Zac Efron and many more. 

He’s character reminds me of Ari Gold in the brilliant Entourage.

This City is ours, loved it but thought the last episode was disappointing and kind of went off script. Second series confirmed.

I think you mean The Haunting of Hill House which I thought was excellent . Couldn’t get into Midnight Mass.

The weathers turned shit and the footballs over. So back to telly.
Thought i'd start black mirror 7. Just a quick episode before bed - Common People -  excellent return to form after a couple of weak seasons, but now i feel like i want to stare into space for 3 days. WTF it was a tough one. Blackest of black comedy.

The Day of the Jackal, alongside The Penguin is the best show I've watched for some time. OK it wasn't perfect, but found it fast paced, stylish, and with some good characters. Bring on season 2.

Plodding on with Mobland each week, I really like it. Will give This city is ours a go at some point.

Looking forward to seeing the latest Mobland episode tonight. After the ending of last episode I'm expecting some real fireworks.

Absolutely Alfs.
Up til then, US cop shows were heavily sugar coated and sometimes cringe but HSB stripped all that away and changed police shows forever.
Still available now on Ch 4 catch up channel.

NYPD Blue was excellent  quite gritty for it's time.
If you remember 'Hill Street Blues' then it's a similar vibe only set in New York rather than LA. Some great storylines and it wasn't afraid tobshow the sleazier side of some in the force. Cant speak for Blue Bloods as  never saw it but I would highly recommend NYPD Blue.

Stumbled across a couple of videos on You Tube that showed clips of the old show NYPD Blue and another one Blue Bloods.  Not sure why I never watched them first time around but are they worth watching now or would they be a bit dated?  I see there are seasons galore so would be a long watch!!
