"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?"

Can't speak highly enough of Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War on Netflix.  Terrific.

Swiss, what channel is Paris Has Fallen on?

I liked Colin From Accounts too on the Beeb.  I thought the second series was ok too, unlike Manners.
I downloaded it but I believe its on Netflix.

Industry is a little bit closer to a truth and a story that relates to me than Braking Bad. It's about my city. It's about class. It's about sex. It's about money. It's about London. It's about changes in culture. Its fucking great.

Fuck me. It's probably one of the best TV series I've ever seen.

On iPlayer. HBO show.
Wacthed 2 episodes and thought this is shit. So you think it's up there with Breaking Bad. Fuck me I had you for having better taste.

Second episode of Penguin is as good as ever. I wonder if Batrman will make an appearence. Doubt it.

Also Paris Has Fallen continues to be excellent.

Just finished the latest series of Brassic. Daft, but very funny

Actually got it wrong. Paris Has Fallen is 8 episodes. So far excellent and I'd recommend to watch.

I think it's quite recent, Zico, as I read a (very good) review of it in The Guardian yesterday.

It is actually very recent, my mistake, thought I had seen it before but definitely not, it is new.  I'm up to episode 3 of 4 and it's very good although obviously quite sad in parts.

2 part mini series Paris Has Fallen is very good. You can’t get a better villain than Bethnal Green boy Sean Harris. I’ve never seen him in anything bad . Great actor .

Joker 2 sounds like a dark remake of a A Star Is Born. Will be shit.

Colin from accounts season two is fucking dreadful, had to turn it off.

After watching Reggie Perrin with Martin Clunes, I'm giving 'Warren' a look, it's not great but a nice little sitcom and only six episodes.

New series of Gone Fishing started. Very funny.

I’ve also started catching up with Colin from Accounts. Pretty good.

Recently/Currently watching:

For All Mankind (alternate space history...what if USSR won the race to land on the moon). Worth a watch.

All American (black lad from the hood gets taken to Beverly Hills to become a high school football star). Good if you like coming of age American Football dramas...a bit like Friday Night Lights. Only on season 1 though .

Parenthood (One to watch with the missus
 Light hearted family-based drama..Pretty good, all be it a bit asinine).

I really liked the Joker, so I'm dreading to see what they've done to the sequel.

I normally struggle with spin offs because the majority of them are just cash cows for the original project, but I'm quite keen to see the Penguin from what's been said on here.

Yep, The Penguin looks great and not as dark as I thought it might be. I love the Batman films and the spin off stuff, although The Joker sequel is meant to be shit.

Agreed that The Penguin 1st episode is good.

I have done the caley sleeper about 30 times being an anorak and I couldn't handle it myself.

Regarding the sleeper they upgraded the rolling stock about 5 years ago and the seated section is 10 times worse.

Agree . Thought it was excellent.  I'm not going to look at options to binge, happy to savour weekly. 
Colin Farrell was brilliant
