"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?"

Coming to the last few episodes of Band Of Brothers amazing effects and being produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks no wonder every episode has you gripped. When you watch these films and see the horrific injuries and conditions service men endured (albeit BOB is American troops) 75 millions men died for our freedom and I get called a racist on here for loving my country and it's history. People moaning that they can't have a holiday on the beach when thousands of men died on the beach to stop us speaking German !! Pacific next (Thanks Duke) Rant over.

"I thought Swiss had it about right with the Mare of Easttown. It was ok, good even but not that great. A lot of emotional filler and the last episode was way too long. It may seem better than it is because there is so much shit about nowadays. The dullness of everything around it makes it shine that much brighter."

"Just watched the final episode of Mare of Easttown,a right good watch. A fitting very unexpected end to a brilliant series. A measly 6/10 from Swiss how odd."

"Years too late, but only just got round to watching life on mars and now ashes to ashes. Preferring the latter, but both make me want to go back to that era."

The Kominsky Method 3 is fucking awful. They should have left it alone.

"ted fenton 1:27 Mon May 31 When you’ve finished that Ted, if you’re not ‘war fatigued’ try The Pacific same concept of following a group through the island hopping campaigns! Based on memoirs of those involved! A good but harsh watch"

We've started watching Band Of Brothers and have to agree it's brilliant.

Swiss - Noted. If Cranston wasn't in Your Honor no-one would have watched it.

Manuel The Undoing was much better. Although Winslett is good in MoET I'd say the range and class acting in the former is far better. When I'm watching MoET I can't help thinking I'm watching something like Riverdale (Sort of modern OC) with a murder thrown in. The actually investigation part of the murder/s is pretty lame and also pretty obvious.

"Swiss - Tbh I've only seen it spoken about on here, so I take your thought on board. How would you compare it to The Undoing?"

Mare of Easttown is a 6/10 at best. A lot of emotional filler mamby pamby around a really shit murder investigation. True Detective it aint.

"Am desperately trying to get through The Flight Attendant but fucking hell, it's hard work. Watched the first episode of Breeders last night. Thoroughly enjoyable, even though Martin Freeman seems to play pretty much the same character whatever he's in (sorry Debs)"

"Been staying at a pals this week and have indeed got into Mare of easttown...literally didnt have any clue about it, even that she was in it - absolute cracker and the last episode was a real escalation -in a good way I dont have Sky and having watched it this week, I have to say ""Im out"" ...if this is the future of television then i guess im going to be looking at boxed sets for the rest of my days.....the amount of curation of content and wokeness all around BLM and post-georgefloyd is so intrusive and patronising its frankly an insult to anyones intelligence- a good example being "" city on the hill "" which is a sky atlantic series with kevin bacon...every episode has a lecture about whitey is bad and re-writing history and every single blackperson that has ever been killed has either directly or indirectly been killed by whitey....just ridiculous... and as for the adverts---- waaaay to many and also only seem to have one theme ....can you guess what it is , yet?!"

"NS, the best Television has ever been. Loads of good stuff about these days but BoB is simply perfect in everyway. Amazing characters and story lines that are all fact and real events. Chill, i've also just finished season 4 of Snowfall and it is brilliant."
