"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?"

War and Peace's problems extended well beyond any mumbling.

Gave up on Maniac after episode 1 - I felt it would demand too much dedication and attention and wasn’t really delivering anything that new or interesting. It was all very dull. Should I have continued?

"TBF Nursey I think mumbling has been complained about in quite a few TV series over the past couple of years, Poldark, War and Peace, Broadchurch etc etc etc"

"Granted, I am in my dotage, but this is the only English language series for which I've needed subtitles. It's Jonah Hill's appalling mumbling to blame, not my earsight. I'm eleventy three, you know."

"You're going deaf in your dotage Nursey, just turn up the TV so that all of your neighbours can also hear it, and you'll be fine."

I've started on Maniac. Mainly because Julia Garner is in it. Love the little stuff like the dog-do robots (they're actually a splendid idea). But I've had to turn the subtitles on due to all the mumbling. Didn't drama schools used to train actors to ENUNCIATE?

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 :.)"
