"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?"

Loved Nighty Nighty

The ending's a bit shit. The main character has a sex change and turns into the Silver Surfer.

Have began watching Northern Exposure all over again, for the first time since it was on.

It has dated, but I love it.

Just started "Mix Tape", looks good so far and as you'd expect, some cracking tunes.

 Binged watched Untamed from Netflix on Sunday.  Thought it was excellent. Great acting from Eric Bana and Sam Neill.

Halfway through "Last Kind Of The Cross"...not too bad, some of it is a bit naff, but there's violence and tits.

Loved Landman overall. But just finished the last episode of the season. And it was so fucking boring. 80 minutes of fuck all

Yeah I watched about 20mins and switched off. There is acually no good series out there since The Studio. 
Check out Smoke on Apple.
Thanks Alfs. Three episodes into Smoke and I like it. Bit slow but what can I say they are all slow burners these days....excuse the pun😊
I agree, but the review I read says it starts of slowly but the tension ratches up as it goes along.

As it's a TV thread just thought I would plonk this on here.  Found out recently from someone that if you have had your Sky dish for years and it's gertting on a bit Sky would replace it for nothing.  I don't have any insurance with them so didn't really believe it, but a quick live chat last week and today an engineer installed a brand new one and took the old one away for nothing.  Least they could do considering the price you pay!!  So if you need a new dish and are with Sky just give them a shout and you will get a new one.

Binge watching Shine on Harvey Moon at the moment, another classic from the 80,s, in the last few months the whole catalogue has been added to YouTube👍

TBH has not dated and still a very VERY good watch, loads of familiar faces, Elizibeth Spriggs though as Nan is superb🤣, Witzend productions also made Auf Wiedershen Pet, another 80,s classic, but Harvey Moon used to pull 18 million plus viewers when it aired, not too shabby by any measure!.

highly recommend both for anyone not old enough to remember
no idea if run by ITV but there's an ITV Retro channel on youtube and it's uploading episodes of The Prisoner. it's brilliant stuff if you haven't seen it
