"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?"

"collyrob 9:35 Sun Jun 13 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I thought MOE was excellent. The usual try hards pretending they didn’t like it. Colly, I normal use Swiss & Manual recommendations as a barometer for what to avoid. As current tv goes MOE was excellent."

jfk 2:38 Sat Jun 12 You don't need to wet your knockers over it. It's just people's opinion. Yes I think the Undoing was better than MOE. MOE had too much irrelevant soft sentimental filler.

"Finished ""The Undoing"" last and thoroughly enjoyed it so thanks for the heads up Manuel. Previous to that we watched ""Band Of Brothers"" & ""Pacific"" produced by Hanks & Spielberg who are now filming ""Masters Of The Air"" so keep them coming lads."

"I watched the first episode of MOE. Yes early days, but I'm in no hurry to watch the second one. Seems to be a lot of characters in it."

You gave mare a measly 6/10 Swiss now saying not as good as undoing or your honour ???? I’m no expert and don’t for a minute pretend to be unlike you.I simply don’t have the time. Let’s have this right then The Undoing(which I had the misfortune to endure with herself)was better than MOE ??? Do fuck off.

MOE is OK but not as good as The Undoing or Your Honour.

"ted - Have you watched The Undoing? Think you and the other half would like it. I've started Borderline, a Nordic murder type thing, only one series so will see it through. Looks like it will be one of them it was alright but won't stay long in the memory shows."

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."

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.
