"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?"

Finished the first half of the last season of Ozark last night. Brilliant. They've managed to maintain the standard right from the first episode of series 1 (ala Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul).

"Years ago I used to play football with a load of actors and comedians on a Wednesday afternoon. Freeman was head and shoulders above anyone else. Nice guy too. He was filming The Office at the time and had no inkling that it would be as successful as it was. He was just delighted to be in work. Not seen him since, but pleased that he's done so well. Mark Warren also played, and was pretty tasty. Arthur Smith loved playing but was woeful. I think he was taking a lot of drugs at the time."

My only annoyance with The Responder was the annoying high pitched whistling sound that appeared every time there was tension. Not great when you wear headphones and have tinnitus!

"Mr Anon 3:27 Sat Jan 29 ""he was excellent in Fargo I thought"" Yeah and great in StartUp as a corrupt cop. In fact I'm surprised no one has mentioned this excellent series."

"chim chim cha boo 1:33 Sat Jan 29 'I've never been really struck on Martin Freeman (and I don't really know why)' Could it be because he's a big-mouthed leftie with a tax-avoiding missus that he seems to insist gets a part in everything he's in. Plus he's got a punchable face, was shit in Fargo and ruined Arthur Dent."

"Another vote for The Responder here. I've never been really struck on Martin Freeman (and I don't really know why) but in this he's barely recognisable and his acting is superb. At heart it's the usual ""good cop, bad cop' story but is an excellent watch none the less. On iPlayer now."

Just started watching The Newsroom. Halfway through series 1 Very engaging though a little preachy a la the West Wing - which isnt that surprising given Sorkin is behind both.

I know it’s been mentioned a few times but what a brilliant show Mr.Inbetween is. On Disney plus 26 episodes and every episode is 25 mins long. Bloody brilliant and I’m gutted I’ve only got three to watch. Some of the acting is award worthy. The highest rated episode in series 2 got Me choked up. Tv at its best

"Alfs 4:12 Tue Jan 25 Watched to the mid-season break of Ozark. Shockingly good as always. Just 7 episodes left (released ""later in the year""), and Season 4 is the last by design. Will really miss it when it's over."

"Rattled through The Falcon and The WInter Soldier. Enjoyable if the whole MCU is your thing. Also finished Macgruber in one hit. A guilty pleasure, you know it's shit but a fair few laughs (and throat-rippings) along the way. Just started Loki. Not too sure at the moment tbh."

"Rattled through a few on Netflix Two serial killer mysteries: The chestnut man was good (danish) The mantis was also decent (French) I started watching another Belgian one about a a football player who’d be found dead by suspected suicide, but then it got taken off Netflix before I’d finished the third episode which was bloody irritating Also two Harlen coben adaptations - the stranger and stay close are worth a watch (though I find james ‘one trick pony’ nesbitt a tough watch at times)"

Thought The Responder on BBC last night was excellent with Martin Freeman. Written by an x Liverpool copper really got it exactly right.Freemans scouse accent was spot on.

"Got around to ZeroZeroZero since it's only 8 episodes. Seem to recall some going gaga about it when it come out? I'm 5 episodes in and think it's decent, but won't live long in the memory. started Ted Lasso, of course it's garbage, but it's decent garbage with the odd laugh. Just watch one every couple of days or so, just 4 episodes left to watch."
