"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?"

Stranger Things Season 3 was a season too far. Eleven to the rescue again shock horror. Really dragged out and was far too boring. Still Netflix needs a success as it's subscribers are wilting.

"Ted, don’t take offence as it’s not a dig but I think it’s better received by those who had their puberty around the early 80’s and onwards and those prior will have a more sensible view of it. On another note I’m really enjoying Sherwood like others are….."

"I gave up with Trigger Point after a few episodes. Despite some decent actors, it was very poor writing. Personally, I wouldn’t bother."

"Sydders - Yea Four lives was a very good BBC drama, also binge watched it which I rarely do these days. If you like BBC/ITV dramas - two others I watched recently that I enjoyed are 'Our House' with the bloke from Line of Duty, Martin someone.. and 'No Return' with Sheridan Smith (also in Four Lives)"

"I can't say I'm totally convinced by Stranger Things. Season 1 was good but on 3 now and sort of watch it when there's nothing else that takes my fancy. Thought Sherwood was excellent and apparently there's a Happy Valley 3 on its way, if it's half as good as the first two it will be super!"

"Just binge watched 4 lives, I got COVID and we are still doing the isolation thing in Australia so im stuck at home!!! Anyway 4 lives is a highly recommended from me! Stephen Merchant gives a fantastic if frightening performance, just his look is suited to an oddball come psychopath character. Also finished the latest series of Peaky Blinders, its ok, a bit long winded at times, just as it gets going and interesting they seem to throw in a long scene that drags it back! Still reckon the first 2 series are on a different level, oh and the ending is disappointing if not a bit shit I thought?"

"Four Lives is good. True story, some familiar faces in it. Yellowstone is on my list, still not got around to it."
