"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?"

He's not in it for long......great series though.

Gomorrah has started again from season 1 on Sky Atlantic if anyone hasn't seen it yet

Started This city is ours, yea seems OK but nothing you ain't seen before. Sean Bean is always good value.

The weathers turned shit and the footballs over. So back to telly.
Thought i'd start black mirror 7. Just a quick episode before bed - Common People -  excellent return to form after a couple of weak seasons, but now i feel like i want to stare into space for 3 days. WTF it was a tough one. Blackest of black comedy.

Anyone recomend Murderbot? 

One episode into A Murder at the End of the World. Very impressed. Has 4 of my favourite actors in it as Emma Corrin, Brit Marling, Clive Owen and Alice Braga. 

The Day of the Jackal, alongside The Penguin is the best show I've watched for some time. OK it wasn't perfect, but found it fast paced, stylish, and with some good characters. Bring on season 2.

Plodding on with Mobland each week, I really like it. Will give This city is ours a go at some point.

Looking forward to seeing the latest Mobland episode tonight. After the ending of last episode I'm expecting some real fireworks. 

The Stolen Girl was quite good. 

Absolutely Alfs.
Up til then, US cop shows were heavily sugar coated and sometimes cringe but HSB stripped all that away and changed police shows forever.
Still available now on Ch 4 catch up channel.

If you remember 'Hill Street Blues' ....

I would like add that Shogun was also very good albeit a bit slow at times. 

 

Zico.

NYPD Blue was excellent  quite gritty for it's time.
If you remember 'Hill Street Blues' then it's a similar vibe only set in New York rather than LA. Some great storylines and it wasn't afraid tobshow the sleazier side of some in the force. Cant speak for Blue Bloods as  never saw it but I would highly recommend NYPD Blue.

Stumbled across a couple of videos on You Tube that showed clips of the old show NYPD Blue and another one Blue Bloods.  Not sure why I never watched them first time around but are they worth watching now or would they be a bit dated?  I see there are seasons galore so would be a long watch!!

Filmed not long after the Ballygawley coach bombing of squaddies of 1 LI 
This  is part one of three..the Rupert's ..squaddies part is 2/3
As you were

I see you finished it.  Is it worth sticking with, I'm 3 eps in?  

I would say just about, yes. The story starts to expand out a bit, even gets slightly complicated (to me anyway) so it isn't just a crew of lunatics chasing the pair of them. Other characters come into it, including Ray's stepmother and old man.

I didn't clock until near the end that Manny is Pablo Escobar in Narcos.

Just finishing the second series of Black Snow. Its not too bad, but the lead character cop is badly modelled on Riggs from Lethal Weapon

Swiss. wrote: ↑25 Apr 2025, 11:07 Daredevil was a massive disapointment. Bascially nothing much happened over 9 episodes. I was actually waiting for episode 10 then realised it had finished. 

Lol, I did something similar to that once.

Dope Thief is a decent watch. Might start Day of the Jackal, seems to have mixed reviews but I loved the film so will give it a try, I see it's been renewed.

The Jackal is excellent. The first 2 episodes are probably the worse so stick with it as it builds up. Cracking soundtrack as well. 8/10 on IMDB. Should have won over Shogun as best TV series at Golden Globes.

However it's totally unrealist that a ginger can get a babe as hot as Ursula Corbero

Due to extreme pressure from my youngest Son, I started 'the last of us' last night. Got halfway through an episode and couldn't understand the storyline at all until I discovered that I was watching episode 1 of series 2. No need to call me a fucking idiot as my boy hasn't stopped since I told him.
Started again and I'll stick with it for now.
Will start mo land and will give dopethief a look over next couple of days.

Got around to watching Adolescents after initially giving it a swerve!

Thought it was very well made and acted, had read about people crying at the end or being moved so much it changed there lives but i think that's just the buzz word and reaction from the "in crowd", so was disappointed with the ending, if you could call it that? and NO it made fuck all difference.

4 episodes was just about enough, but i wouldn't say it's a classic, worth a watch but not on my favorites list
