"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?"

Line of duty was top class until the finale. Massive let down. We’re half way through season 3 of happy valley and I think it’s superb. Will finish this then crack on with season 2 of yellowjackets

"No, seen 5 episodes.....it's much like KaDeWe or vice versa, whatever came first.......trying far too hard to be edgy.....Germans are shit at it judging by this......except for Deutschland 83/86/89......"

"It's not really rock'n'roll though is it, it's charleston crossed with line dancing......the story is all the same poor people struggling to get food on the table so the women sell their bodies.....add in the Nazi element and we all know already what cunts they were whatever era of them it was......."

"I cant think of many other rise of the nazi sex drugs and rick n roll tv shows. They do subtitles. However, I guess you’re referring to the aesthetics which probably are German. Theres plenty of artistic licence and its definitely driven by the original book’s vision and story. Very interesting time and place though. The end of one era and the start of the next."

"Branded, other stuff I've watched have been much better at including all those things......I find the Germans don't do it as well, maybe it's their language......I'll stick with it....."

"Ham. BB is multilayered slightly slow burn noirish look at the rise of the Nazis through the Berlin vice dept. Its got sex and drugs and rock n roll and violence and intrigue, politics, gangsters and money. Whats not to like?"

"The Wire is a tricky one. I personally loved it but I know it's quite marmite It's very jarring between season 1 and 2, where you expect things to pick up where they left off, but they don't- it just goes straight into the stevedore story but then you get more used to the focus on future seasons being about an aspect of Baltimore intertwined with, rather than strictly police/gangs/drugs. It can be hard to understand some of the dialogue in season 1 as well. As an aside, if anyone enjoyed The Wire and hasn't seen the recent 'We Own This City', then I really recommend it. Fantastic stuff, only 6 eps, and makes sense if you haven't watched The Wire anyway."
