"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?"

"I'll give that a go Swiss, thank you. I have a bit of an obsession with trainers and currently have a couple of hundred pairs, pretty stupid for a man in his mid 40's but I suppose there are worst things to spend your hard earned on!!!"

"Jim79 If you liked Air then catch a BBC sounds podcast called Sneakernomics. Fascinating history of trainers. The stuff on the Adiddas/ Puma war and the rise of Nike, Reebook etc"

"I liked the whale. I thought Brendan Fraser was fantastic. Agree though that people getting outraged a real morbidly obese actor not being cast is just silly. As if there are any who could carry the role off.... The Nike Air film is on my list. Really looks good. There's a great doc on BT sport about it as well. Called Sole Man, about Sonny Vacaro (Matt Damon's character)"

The Amazon film Air about how Nike secured Michael Jordan as their star athlete for their basketball division and the deal their struck which still to this day generates around $400m pa for Jordan personally making him still the annually highest paid sports star in the world 20 yrs after he retired is very good.

Anyone seen Inside Man with Stanley Tucci? Wondering if it's worth a watch.

Now first season of Westworld that was fucking slow. Strange as season 2 was turbo charged.

"Manuel I agree there certainly isn't the quality of the series' of 2000-2015 say with SOA, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Lost, Prison Break, Homeland, Banshee, The Killing, The Bridge to name but a few."

"I agree with Mr Anon. There was one episode that sticks with me, regarding the cold ruthlessness of Logan: Kendal did something to undermine Logan. Logan broods on this. He tells Kendal he's going to visit the family of 'the boy waiter who died' and insists Kendal comes along with him. Just pure venom towards his own son. Instantly takes the uppity and cocksure Kendal down several pegs."
