"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?"

Rather surprisingly I'm quite enjoying it.
It doesn't last.

All men are lying, cheating cunts and all women and gays are great. I lost interest.

I watched The Chair Company this week. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes annoying, often weird. Imagine The Office written and directed by David Lynch. Proper marmite stuff but worth checking out.

3 episodes into The Iris Affair. I like Tom Hollander. Top notch actor. If you like on the run in exotic locations from nasty hit men and a secret code to be unlocked stuff then it'll be you thing.

Nearly finished The Feud. Not sure how ive got this far with it, as its fucking terrible. Is it a parody? Plot holes, wooden acting, terrible dialogue and you can guess whats coming next a mile off. But we cant stop watching it.

Going to start All her fault, I’ve heard it’s VG. 
All her fault is very good.  Stick wiith it, as at times it does get a bit slow and you start to get a bit bored, but then a WTF moment hooks you in.  Think I saw the whole thing in three days and I'm not really a fan of series.

Swiss, is this Malice based at all on the old film Malice with Baldwin and Kidman?
No. This Malice is about Jack Whitehall as a tutor to David Duchovny's boy whilst his family holiday in Greece and then to London. He integrates in with nasty consequencies. That's all I'm saying.

Looking forward to Say Nothing, although as its on Channel 4 it will probably descend into an anti-Brit propaganda wankfest

The Iris Affair is a great yarn and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, Down Cemetery Road is well worth a watch. 
I thought Down Cemetery road was crap. Then again I hate Emma Thompson.

I binned s2 after one episode. It was dogshit.

S2 is hard to follow- go to s3

Season 3 Mr Mercedes is very good! Almost a stand alone story line! S2 is a bit WTF  but don’t bypass S3 is my recommendation FWIW

Anyone seen FBI series from 2018? I believe there are a couple of spin offs? Stumbled across it on Prime and can't believe I haven't heard of it before. A few episodes in and I'm hooked.
