"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?"

"So far my favourites are Shut Up and Dance and Fifteen Million Credits, but then I would watch Daniel Kaluuya in anything. I also loved Nosedive. The ending was really uplifting and choked me up a bit. The only episode I haven't enjoyed is the one with the robot dog gone rogue, but that's because I find Maxine Peake utterly repellent."

Breaking Bad and the Sopranos are almost flawless TV. Just started watching Black Mirror which is excellent the Episodes White Christmas and Shut up and Dance especially

"My personal favourite TV show of all time is Breaking Bad, but I can understand how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. If I had to pick something that I think 99% of people would love if they watched it, it would be Sopranos."

I don’t know if I’m prepared to commit to something as long as sopranos when I know the ending.

Sopranos is one of the finest TV shows ever made. I got 20 minutes into Sons of Anarchy and turned it off.

I’m ready to start a popular box set I’ve still yet to see. I’ve cut it down to either The Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy. Any advice ?

"I've just started watching the BBC drama 'Collateral' on Netflix. Watched the first episode last night. It's one of the best laugh out loud things I've seen, but I don't think it was intended that way. I'm going to leave the other episodes to the weekend, so I can play a drinking game. Nice big slurp of Malbec for every politically correct or virtue signalling trope. Female vicar with an illegal immigrant lesbian lover. Do-gooding, saintly local MP - Labour, naturally. Asylum seekers (genuine, of course) hiding in a lock-up garage and the female (natch) lead detective giving a stirring speech about how badly this country treats illegal immigrants. I have high hopes for more of the same in future episodes. You need a heart of stone not to laugh."

Just watched the first series of Fleabag again and would recommend to anyone. Think it's a brilliant comedy and didn't realise she also wrote Killing Eve.

"Yeah I didn't mind UA at all, though then again I will pretty much watch anything to get me through my train journeys. Quite liked the bounty hunter type characters, worked well together and had no idea it was Mary J Blige until the missus told me."

"Tried Russian Doll, but I hated the main character so much I gave up . Just started watching random episodes of Black Mirror which is very good"

"Finished the Versace series of American crime story last night. Liked the OJ one better though the basic story of this one is very interesting - killed by a spree killer. Since the guy killed himself and there was no trial, there was just a lot of filler and artistic license."
