"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?"

"Cant be bothered to look back and see if it has already been mentioned, but I have just finished watching ""Giri Haji"", an 8 part police / ganster thriller jointly set in London and Tokyo. Fantastic stuff on so many levels from the much maligned (on the other thred) BBC and the best thing I have watched on TV for many a long year. Might still be on i-player so catch it if you havent already."

I thought episode 1 of the new season of BCS was excellent and really set this new season up well. It's up there with Bb for me.

Wisting was good but I like my Scandi Noir. New season of Altered Carbon starts thurs. Loved season 1. Very Blade Runneresque.

"mallard 9:33 Mon Feb 24 BCS is a much much slower start, stick with it and you learn how Saul gets dragged into the criminal world. The slow start helps build it up eventually"

Always thought breaking bad was better with the Mexican cartels as opposed to the hillbilly bikers that came later on. So i am enjoying Better call Saul.

"After loving BB, I tried Better call Saul, a few years back, and couldn't get pass the first season! Judging by the comments, I really need to give it another go"

"Just finished The Deuce, good programme and fairly mental how New York has changed so dramatically in the years since it was set."

Already have. Rewriting history is never a good thing in drama.

Branded. Eek! Not good. They might catch some flak for that.

"Better Call Saul Season 5 starts tonight. Previous 4 seasons were excellent. Superbly produced,directed and acted on par with Breaking Bad."

"Homeland one of the very few shows i actually gave up on and stopped watching. First season is one of the best things thats been on tele but it went steeply downhill after that. i made it until about midway through season 3 before i called it a day, cant believe it's still going!"

Had to give up on that when.... *SPOILER ALERT!* He was texting one of the biggest terrorists in the world from one of the most secure buildings in the world and stopped him getting shot.

It’s bizarre. It challenges every idea of a historically based drama but particularly one as sensitive as the Holocaust. They make up atrocities!

Branded I read about that. I thought it sounded like it was in very poor taste.

"Watched all of The Detectorists for a second time recently. One of my favourite TV series. Gentle, beautiful, genuinely funny and crafted with every character bringing something to the table (not just buttons). And the characters occasionally swear, just like real people do. You have to admit though that by the end Andy and Lance are properly punching. Oh and Varda is lovely. Probably wait another two years before doing it all over again."

Watched two episodes of the new Amazon show “Hunters” last night. Absolutely fucking bonkers. It’s about some Hews hunting Nazis in 1977 USA. It’s a bit like a Tarantino style of serious and entertaining structure with everything turned up to 11. Absolute shit
