"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?"

The Haunting of Hill House I am 3 episodes in. It is very good. Perhaps the best scary / horror TV show I’ve seen since ghost watch

"Slightly random and off the usual list and great stuff recommended. After completing Call Saul , Superb. Having took a break from netflix and have started, only now to watch Curb your Enthusiasm. Loving the situations and arguments Larry David creates. Each episode has a great comedy plot. Also been re-watching on You tube George Carlin stand up shows. Finding him a comdey genius. Thanks for the Staircase recommendations and also the nuttiest and shortest of all the Motorway women. COYIs"

"Mike, I really enjoyed S1. It had a real film noir style to it. I watched about 8 episodes of S2 and gave up - it had turned into a pile of poo. Shame."

"norm, it's the casting in BB & BCS that's so good. no one could play mike better than johnathan banks. that character is good enough for its own series, and then introduced lalo salamanca at the end of series four of BCS, who's another lunatic :.)"

If you like your Sci-Fi I thoroughly recommend The Expanse. The first two series were on Netflix but have now come off. I guess as Amazon are now making season 4 rather than SciFi channel. Oh and just watched the latest Season of Better Call Saul. Better than Breaking Bad IMO

"I've had a go at some Russian literature, but the three-name curse puts me off. Name, father's name with a bit tacked on and family name. All used, on their own, to refer to the same person. And there are diminutives as well. I assume Russians are used to this from real life, but most of the people I know, I use just one name for."

"I love the book. I was surprised people went gaga for that awful War and Peace adaptation on the BBC. I'd never read the book and gave up on the series after a couple of episodes because it was SO BORING. If you want a tale of posh people, social climbing, a kittenish femme fatale who's no better than she ought to be, enduring, devoted love and redemtion, with a bit of Napoleon chucked in, then Vanity Fair will sort you out. And unlike that Russian, po-faced garbage, it's a story told with great wit and panache."
