"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?"

Started season 3 of Blue Lights, thought seasons 1 and 2 where good but this is next level so far!

Say what you want about the BBC, yes, the news coverage is lefty and woke bollocks at times but fuck me they can still make an excellent and griping Police drama! 

Superb stuff this....

Two excellent series,gutted there won't be a third.

New Tulsa King is out and the 2nd series of Landman is out next month

Also, terminal list is very good as well.
 
I live in ireland and couldnt get into 'Kin' at all when it was on tv here, and it wasnt overly popular. love/hate is another irish gang drama if you are interested and much better imo. Aiden Gillen is in both.

Finished the series yesterday. Very, very good.

If you've seen neither series, I would still suggest watching Dark Wolf first despite being the 'newer' series.
Indeed sound advice. I'm hoping what happened and suspect what happend at the end of season 1 didn't happen. Cryptic I know but no spoilers. Hence we have a season 3.

All gays, blacks, women and lesbians are amazing. 

Fuck off. 
I was going to start that as well but seems you have put me off. 

Alien Earth - after starting so well as become an absolute bore fest. I won't pursue it. 

The Terminal List DW- Probably the best thing on at the moment. 

Disclaimer - Well a great cast and great acting. Leila George...grrrrr.and a nice twist ending. There's a lot of faults in the story but Kevin Kline  and Cate Blanchette's acting is suberb. Also created by Alfonso Cuarón. I recommend you watch.

Only Murders - Light hearted fun as usual.

I did, too, Colly.  Season 2 has had such bad reviews though that I gave it a miss to not sully the experience.  One of the sisters is Bono's daughter, I discovered recently.

You need to seek professional help as you seem to troll me around on this site. Probably because I mugged you off so often. You definitely on my list to slap when I find you. 
So me catching you out with a big fat lie with your race baiting, is me mugging myself off?

Have I got that right?
