"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?"

"claypole 12:30 Fri Apr 1 I'm in the same boat, Mrs V has got me watching Friday Night Lights, from back in the mid 00's and i'm hooked"

''and I really hope Line of Duty can go out on a high as the last series was really poor compared to the earlier series'' No it wasn't.

[claypole]

I know I should not have done but actually quite enjoyed Bel-Air

"Peckham 3:12 Thu Mar 31 That's my point. You're always going to remember it as a brilliant series. But if they milked it, you'd end up disappointed. It takes real guts as a writer to say ""nope, that's all you're getting"", when another half a million is on the table, x that by ten if in America."

"Roberto Savino wrote the book 'Gomorrah' which the (exellent) tv show is based on. For his trouble,he had a contract put out on him by the mob in Naples. The 'hit was ordered in 2006 and as far as i know,Saviano was still in hiding last year."

"NS, pretty sure that Camorra is available on Amazon Prime Video"

Peckham Watched this a few months back on the IPTV I pay for… probably out there in Kodi world I’d imagine https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8968758/ Was Ok … seemed the vast majority of it was about Cigarette smuggling??

[Peckham]

"That is true Alfs. But Gomorrah I could have just kept watching and watching and gutted it ended. I don't think I'll find a TV crime series as good as that. I've watched the Immortal. Really disappointed. Just shows Ciros upbringing flashbacks of hustling as a kid. From the boat as it was unveiled in series 5 , the wizard Don saved him. Sent him Latvia , as usual , gang rivalry with Russians with Ciro in between. Then ends with him meeting Genny. I even watched 2008 release film, where Ciro etc are kids. But it was a dreadful film. Now fascinated with history of that mafia, the Camorra, and in particular Naples. 86 to 87 when they won the title for the first time with Maradona, it must have been mental living Naples in that era , mafia controlled, the largest drug dealing spots in Europe in the blocks called the Sails, just as in Gomorrah, and a city full of football maniacs. If anyone comes across a good documentary about the Camorra mafia of Naples. Let us know. Thanks."

Game of Thrones ending was very poor and I really hope Line of Duty can go out on a high as the last series was really poor compared to the earlier series.

"The problem with so many successful TV shows is that the producers/writers don't have the balls to end it on a high. Instead, they'll milk another season or two out of it, yet don't really have the narrative to keep it going. Peaky Blinders is a great example, and I'm sure you can all think of many more. It's tough to say no though, as money is being thrown at you and you fear this may be your last job."

[New Jersey]

"Agree about Peaky Blinders, too much around 'Tommy' mumbling, smoking a fag etc and not enough development of the other characters, it is really shit. Just finished a BBC Wales drama The Hidden, first two series were very good but the third very disappointing."

[Side of Ham]

I think it misses Polly........

[mallard]

"Totally agree Rossal, they should have ended it when he became an MP."

[Rossal]

"Latest series of Peaky Blinders has been a massive disappointment. Final series, 5 episodes in and not much has happened. Every scene is Cillian Murphy smoking a fag having an intesnse conversation with someone. I see what Joe cole meant (no not our one) when he said he left due to it being the Cillian Murphy show. Dont see how they will wrap the whole thing up in an hour, should of quit while it was ahead a few series back."

Saw the trailer for Boiling Point and it was just people shouting at each other. Not one for me.

[Iron Duke]

"Impressive performances in Boiling Point, but to be honest the storyline went nowhere. I’ve seen better"

[lowlife]

"Watched Boiling Point last night, great stuff. One shot? Impressive work. I‚Äôd have called that guy on table 7 a cսnt though."

[collyrob]

I thought boiling point was brilliant. Stephen Graham is an absolutely great actor

[Kidders]

Boiling Point was a good watch.

"I sort of thought Ciro wasn't dead ,as when he went into the drink you could see some bubbles (not West Ham) coming from his mouthing as he helped direct/produce he was too big a character to be written out so early."

[Manuel]

"Sold - Not quite the same thing as Bobby Ewing was confirmed dead, the immortal wasn't. Must admit I can't remember now how they explained him living."

[Northern Sold]

Cheers Gents.... yeah have enjoyed it... deffo up there and hopefully watching the film will explain what the fuck went on !!

[Jim79]

"You know what the Italians in Gommorrah are like with their nicknames, he's not really immortal mate. I think they got through season 4 and thought we need to find a way to bring Ciro back so they then made the film to fill in the gap. Granted its a bit arse to front and farcical but dont let it put you off what is one of the best shows ever made for tv"
