"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?"

3 Episodes in to "Before" with Billy Crystal, if you liked The Servant, you'll like this.

Managed to finish Rivals, yes it's shit and hugely cringe and pretentious, but if you don't take it too seriously then it's not a bad yarn overall. Looks like their will be another season too.

Cracking final episode of The Penguin.
Yes, sometimes a series loses its way with a poor unsatisfactory finale. The last two episodes were fantastic. No happy ever after. Awards on the way.
Delving into characters over a series will result in dips.
Breaking bad/Better call Saul/sopranos all had the same dips.
that's whey its all worthwhile in the end.
The Mother in the Penguin for example.
It's all about telling the life story of Oswald Cobb and why he is what he is.
Yea all true, the mother was a bit irritating but understand the importance of the character and that she was his weak spot i.e he had someone he cared about and wanted to protect.

Really enjoying 'Paris has fallen' halfway through the series and it doesn't disappoint.
Landman begins on Paramount+ next weekend. Stars Billy Bob Thornton and is written and directed by the same bloke who did Yellowstone and it's various spin offs, will give it a go.

I have a feeling that the Victor kid survives
HBO has not yet confirmed whether
The Penguin will return for season 2, and the network likely will not share an official answer to the series' fate any time soon. For one, a new season of
The Penguin would have to wait until after
The Batman Part II arrives in 2026 since the sequel is already confirmed to continue Oz's story. In a post-finale interview with
Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Lauren LeFranc confirmed that the final shot of
The Penguin, which shows the Bat Signal shining above Gotham, is meant "to launch into [
The Batman director Matthew Reeve's] second film."

So for those who have a problem with English this is what I said :
"'The Rivals. Absolute trashy Jilly Cooper rubbish.....loving it " I hardly think that's recommedation. It's called an observation.
Really, I know in real life Moanwell is a deppresive, miserable, no sense of humour spaz but some of you ass licking him is embarrassing,

Just watched the Beckham thing on Netflix. Pretty entertaining in a slick kind of way but nothing much we don't already know. Did fall about laughing though when the President of Real Madrid was offering Pope John Paul II, free match tickets when the guy (sorry, his holiness) was pretty much on his death bed. Much more meme worthy than Beckham calling out Victoria, from behind the door, for her dad taking her to school in a Rolls.

Decided to wait until The Penguin had finished and binge watch it. Watched episodes 1-4 last night and it’s excellent.

'That would suggest that the lead male character is a middle aged man who lusts after young girls who find him seedy and vile?'
You're overlooking Swiss's complete lack of self-awareness, mate.

The Day if the Jackal is fucking excellent. The soundtrack is also very good.
Milly/Cheval/Fromage/Leave etc the sad cսnt with 4 user names is a clueless cսnt.
It's an opinion
I grew up with the original film and the book.
This pretentious shite is all style over substance..is poorly cast with bland shit actors.
IS that alright with you Christophe Kunz ? you ski bum fanny

I enjoyed the Responder with Martin Freeman but it’s a bit manic! Though a totally different thing, the intensity of the main character is not dissimilar to Adam Sandler in the movie Uncut Gems ( great movie btw) in that it’s exhausting to watch at times!!!
