"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?"

Rogue Hero's is great, enjoyed that, they are making a 3rd series as well which is hopefully as good.
Finally finished The Blacklist! all 10 seasons over the last 6 months or so! Stars James Spader who is excellent in it, so now on the look out for something else as a go to when i have an hour or so to kill.
Not sure im going to bother right now with Adolescence, from what ive seen and read, plenty of the liberal and lefty woke types are going on about sitting down with their kids to watch it and it should be shown or even made compulsory viewing in School etc, all that says to me along with comments about its white toxic masculinity BS is that it's a bit of a subtle bashing exorcise of male honkys! And although i do like Stephen Graham, may give this miss unless atm.
Nah ..fuck that ...watch it (adolescence) and make make of it what you will sydney..
Have you watched FARGO ?
Series 1 &2 are as good as it gets.

Cherval, it's a bit of a leap thinking Adolescence is white working class male bashing, Steven Graham is a great working class dad who thinks his 13 year old kid is in his room playing video games. It could happen to any dad, working class or not.
Cheers Jim, I will look at the behind the scenes stuff on YouTube.
I reckon you're one of those middle class cunts who finks it's perfectly normal to leave their own kids alone in a room .. somewhere like Portugal whilst you play the middle class surgeon braggart at the bar and regard the working class as beneath you..?

CS, I couldn't give a fuck about who it was originally based on but there again I don't actively look for reasons to get the hump about that sort of thing.
As for Steven Graham being 'Jamaican now' you do realise he's one of the best actors we've got, don't you? In fact if I come across a film or tv show I've not heard about and he's in it I'll give it a go because I at least know he'll be great at the very least.
Still, stay angry and disappointed, it looks good on you.

Been watching SAS Rogue Hero’s which has been fantastic. Just bought series 2 on Amazon Prime. I’m about to watch This City is Ours. Every Scouser says it’s brilliant though some of the accents are shit, so the Mrs is going to give it the once over, and Rivals, which after one episode wasn’t for me. She likes it though.

I have been catching up on earlier shows that I had missed recently.
I really liked Sugar on Apple TV with Colin Farrel,l LA detective series with a spin. It’s a pity they never did another series.
They have, series 2 confirmed.

I don't think you're allowed to like Spacey any more, didn't he bum some boys or something?
Cleared of all charges.
No smoke without fire, Alfs! Best to label him a bummer of boys to play it safe.
Indeed.
that's the standard form of Hollywood .
The devils playground.
Always has been.

The other one I am enjoying is Undercover on Netlfix, a Dutch/Belgium show. It may take a couple of episodes but I am hooked on it now. Not the run of the mill police/drugs prodecure, I would definately would recommend.
Luckily there are 3 seasons and I bet it gets remade in the US or here.

It was based on a black muslim lad (now denied after all the media coverage by the writer) but yeah, its all cool, as Stephen Graham is Jamaican now and suffered racial abuse as a kid.

Another fan of Reacher here. Got through it really quickly. As said below though don't take it seriously.

... and 'Mobland' on the way, a Guy Ritchie turnout with Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Tom Hardy.
Watched the first episode of Mobland last night, great actors though a bit underwhelming imo, could be miles better, work in progress.

billy - agree re Spacey. Excellent actor. Rewatched American Beauty last weekend funnily enough.
Talking about being very late in watching stuff, I might be even later than you, as I’ve just finished Season 1 of 24!
Don't know if you've seen it, but he was also very good in Swimming With Sharks.
Highly recommended.
Not seen that film MMG but will look it up. Cheers

Reacher is a decent watch as long as you don't take it to seriously.
Will have a look at 'Mobland' and 'This city is ours' over the next week or so.
Very very late on this one but am loving House of Cards. Kevin Spacey is a superb actor and he and his (screen) Mrs really do play their parts fantastically well.

That is late. I found the first 3, maybe 4, seasons were superb, then it lost it's way imo. Agree that Spacey is a great actor.
