"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?"

"Not a box set, unless it's a very small box set, but watching the Spanish series 'The Plague'...like it a lot, one of the better things I've seen in a while."

"Cheers Miike - 4 to go, should be done by tomorrow. Agreed on slim Jonah, kind of puts me on edge and reminds me of a guy I work with who lost loads of weight. Didn’t look right and for some unknown psychological reason, I felt a bit awkward around him."

im not sure whether its the lack of a plot that's the problem or that the slim jonah hill isn't that likeable?

"Miike - I’m on the 4th episode of Maniac. Complete shite so far and am only sticking with it as Emma Stone is in it. How far have you got, and does it get any better (assuming you’re beyond episode 4)?"

"Just finished Killing Eve. Starts off well. But gets very silly, very fast. It is entertaining. Just don’t believe hype that’s being thrown it’s way."

"And re McGovern, without doubt one of the best tv writers of his generation. Unfortunately, he's not particularly liked by the senior execs at a particular British Broadcasting Channel. In an interview he once said that he'd taken to sending post cards to his scripts, asking them if anyone had read them yet."

"Watched the first episode of Truth tonight, about the kidnap of John Paul Getty. Donald Sutherland is superb as the billionaire, miserly, sex addicted patriarch."

The Street was superb..had many great actors. Timothy Spall as the cabbie hoskins as the pub landlord was brilliant. Mcgovern has the gift for storytelling..the gift of making bods THINK

"It's obviously a lot different picking up a show straight away with the same showrunners and continuing storyline, rather than trying to revive a failing comedy from 5 years ago. Wouldn't you say surfy?"
