"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've now finished series 3 of True Detective. I thought it was the best one so far.

"I really enjoyed the marriage, every drama doesn't have to be about murders in Oxford/Cambridge/Shetland Islands/ kidnappings, rapes etc, etc. I think if you're married with grown up kids you could relate to it, more than say, someone in their 20's. Maybe it was saying that there are absolute cunts in the world like the boss and the boyfriend but a strong marriage has seen them weather real tragedy and pull through. I also liked the way they portrayed that younger people and older people sometimes have problems communicating, the staff at the leisure club thought Sean Bean was weird but he maybe thought he was being friendly. Overall a thought provoking drama, back to 'reality' tonight with DCI Perez solving yet another murder in Shetland."

"The Resort is quite good. Vacation series like The White Lotus, but with a weird mystery."

"Watched ‘House of the Dragon’ despite a bit too much CGI, I was very impressed. Always loved Paddy Considine as an actor and thought he played his part well. Hopefully it will overshadow the piss poor writing of Game of Thrones Season 8!"

"Finished it last night. I did quite like the 'Nothing happens' vibe. It's literally just snapshots of life and there's not really a payoff or a storyline/resolution for anything. Interesting way of doing television. On another note, anyone see House of the Dragon last night? Hopeful it can restore my faith in the Game of Thrones franchise after the debacle of how that went in the last two seasons."

"Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls ted fenton 11:37 We watched 30 mins of episode 1 and gave up. From the same writers as Mum (which was brilliant) and it's much the same, but without the funny bits. Shame really, as Nicola Walker and Sean Bean are both very good actors - the thing where he was in prison with Stephen Graham was probably one of the best things he's done (Time)"

"ted fenton 11:37 I keep expecting some sort of massive revelation to happen, like he's beating the shit out of her secretly or something. Thought it was leading up to that but I don't think so now. I think it's just going to be sort of mundane like a fly on the wall doc with nothing really happening in terms of an overall narrative. Sort of weirdly compelling though. They've really nailed down the cringe and banal small talk. I'm curious as to whether they are ad libbing most of it, because it feels like it."

"We watched 3 episodes of ""Marriage"" last night at times it was like watching paint dry ! ..Having said that the acting was very good so will persevere with it. WTF is all that chanting at the end of an episode ? Every time I look at Sean Bean I see him heading for paliament in protest against us !!! Cnut."

She's one sexy woman. Dirty as well especially when she came out of the horse trough.

"It's all opinion, Nurse. Just passing on own experience of the women. She was incredible as Miss Julie, though she was pretty much born to play that role."
