"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?"

It's not possible to like every actor/actress. As far as the revolting Ygritte is concerned, it is the character I can't stand, not the actress.

Your hatred of actresses cracks me up Nursey - Gillian Anderson, Sandra Oh …… is there any more names to add to your dartboard?

I've just finished re watching Game of Thrones and yes, it's magnificent. I got into it very late (2018) after being relentlessly nagged by my kids to give it a go. I sat through 2 episodes with my boy and i was hooked, i was on Amazon the next day buying the box set. So many great characters,storylines and locations, I really can't speak of it highly enough.

Early Doors on BBC iPlayer...criminally under-rated comedy rarely repeated on the BBC. Basically, it's The Royle Family set in a pub; the two lazy coppers are superb.

I'm watching Game of Thrones again. I love this series. Getting close to the blessed episode where Ygritte gets killed. Can't wait. I frigging hate Ygritte. She's the only character I genuinely despise. She's just a chippy vulgarian, stomping around the snowdrifts sneering about 'soft southerners' and their privilege, like Angela Rayner in fur knickers.
That reminds me of Lethal Weapon 2 which featured Patsy Kensit as a (supposedly) South African love interest for Mel Gibson. When she got killed (sorry, spoiler alert), I think we were supposed to feel Riggs' pain and anger.
I was just relieved that I wouldn't have to hear her 'South African' accent again for the rest of the film.
Too many lead characters make it much too far into films and TV programmes. Much better to mix it up and lose a few early on.

White Lotus season 3.
enjoyed previous and enough in esp 1 to keep me interested
I've tried to get into this and watched some episodes fron SE01, SE02 and the first of SE03. I really can't see what all the fuss is about. It's just average.

Binge watched the whole series (3) of Happy Valley. If you have never seen this it is very very good and well worth a watch.

Anyone seen Zero Day with Robert De Niro on Netflix? I am two episodes in. The first half hour was intriguing but I am slowly wondering whether to just Google the plot and ending on Wiki as I am losing interest now. Worth sticking with?
Bloody hell Zico you think this is slow? You should watch some other Netflix stuff where they really drag it out. Three episodes in and I think it's pretty good.
Not totally convinced of De Niro as an ex President. Problem is when I see him now I always think of Meet The Fockers.

Do the early episodes still stand up to the test of time?
Or would you suggest I pile in on the latest series and just pick things up as they go along?

Trailer park boys is my favourite series of all time their early stuff is incredible
It's always sunny in Philadelphia, if you've not watched it, give it a go, starts off great and gets funnier and funnier
I've thought about watching this as I think I would like it, but it's 170 episodes ffs, so puts me off.
Would you say it's better than Everybody Loves Raymond?
Imagine Family Guy as a sitcom, but even more gross/non PC and funnier.

Yes, both of those series are brilliant. Devitto is hilarious
