"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?"

Peckham 1:05 Wed Oct 24 You might say that... Ian Richardson is fantastically reptilian evil.

An oldie but much enjoyed series for fine acting and a nice political plot the original UK House of Cards with Ian Richardson. Plays a manipulative schemer perfectly. Only 4 episodes but from 1990. Still a decent watch.

Just finished Making a Murderer part 2 and thought it was excellent with plenty of twists and turns. America is one fucked up and corrupt place that is all I’ll say!!

"Watched all of the Good Place last week, or at least up until episode 3 of the latest series. Wasn't sure after a couple of episodes, but then thought it was very good. The Asian chap is superb."

"Yeah I barely managed to soldier through season 2 of JJ, feel like that may have been cancelled too if not for an inevitable backlash about cancelling the only show about a female super... blah blah you know the rest"

"yes, JJ1 was superb. for me DD1 is still the stand out, especially when The Punisher appeared. it's just a shame The Punisher series was a bit crap"

crystal Jessica Jones SE02 was shit as well. SE01 was good because KIllgrave is such good villian and brilliantly acted by Tennant.

"Seems like they may be doing a ""heroes for hire"" series which combines both Iron Fist and Cage, but both series ended on pretty big set ups for the future so not sure, I'm sure Disney will pick them up on their new streaming service if Netflix don't want them."

A discovery Of Witched. Started OK but in the end pretty shit. I gave up on it; I mean doesn't compare with the US series like The Originals which was excellent.

last Iron Fist series was total pants. Not sure Daredevil will get renewed. Isn't Charlie Cox shagging the producer? Oh maybe it will.

they're not renewing Iron Fist or Luke Cage. i can understand with the first character but Cage had potential to get better

"I'm about 9 episodes into daredevil and I'm enjoying it, agree it is a bit slow in places, all of these Netflix marvel shows have the same issue of having a few episodes too many where the series would be a lot better if they just condensed them slightly. Not sure on the whole Bull's-eye origin story they've created for this series as he never really and one from what I've read about it. Also the FBI agent having the surname ""Poindexter"" is really annoying me, especially as nobody has even made a joke about it."

The Haunting Of Hill House is OK. I'm up to Ep6. It's slow paced and fucking depressing. Not a shock a minute by any means. But interesting and well acted. Been very disappointed with the new Daredevil so far but half way through it's starting to kick off. Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin is a piece of art in itself.

"I didn't realise how many hidden ghosts there were in each episode, there's a list of them on their twitter feed and various websites, makes it even spookier when you realise all the background bits you missed."

Finished it too - it was really good. Unlike typical horror movies you are able to understand the characters and it was quite lovely in a way.

"Finished the haunting of Hill House, really enjoyed it. Love Carla Gugino, she's superb in it. Little bit of useless information, she was in the video for Bon Jovi's Always."
