"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?"

Manuel 4:46 Thu Mar 21 I dont think they ever properly finished it! Jeff Bridges got Covid and was diagnosed with cancer! A good watch while it lasts.

"NS, agreed. Was disappointed they stopped short at only 9 episodes but it was very good and will sit between BoB and the Pacific in terms of quality, closer to BoB but not close enough to worry it for best ever TV created which for me BoB does comfortably."

Watched last part of Masters of the Air last night... quite magnificent... look OK it's no Band of Brothers... but then again... what can be comparable to that? However as a eternal testament to some of the bravest men to ever get in a flying tin can then it will stand the test of time... easy 9/10 for me

The Rick and Michoine Walking Dead spin off has been decent.

Quite old now and I saw it when it first came out but for anyone who didn't Whitechapel has appeared on Netflix. Binged the first series last night and it is as good as I remember.

"Very, very late to the party but nearing the end of series three of the USA version of The Killing. Really enjoying it but maybe a few episodes too long but the main characters of Linden and Holder are excellent. I'm sure the Seattle tourist board loved the fact they made the place to be an absolute shit hole!"

"Only watched the first episode, but The Old Man on Disney+, starring Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow, is promising to be very decent."

Yes agree. There is gossip about a second series and it was left open that way in the last scene.

"Boots - Yea I'd go with that too, about Jimmy. The main guy in it the duke was really good, I recognised him but couldn't think where, but he was in the white lotus second season."

"Manuel, concur re The Gentlemen, loved it My one gripe aside from professional cockney Winstone, was the Jimmy character, he just fucking annoyed me. !!! They would have wasted him,good analogy, for his ridiculous fuck ups"

"Started Fargo 5, not a bad start, but can't say I'm going to rush through it by any means. I'd be very pleasantly surprised if it's anywhere near the first two seasons, which were simply outstanding."

happygilmore 10:35 Sat Mar 2 I' hear the older women in the office talking about it' I think a lot of that is down to Alan Ritchson taking off his jumper quite a lot.

"Finished The Gentleman, really enjoyed it in the end. The cast was really good, although wasn't too convinced with Ray Winstone's character."

"CS - No, I'm not normally one for historical dramas, but it's had top reviews and only 10 eps, so may give it a go."

"Two eps into The Gentleman, yea it's decent, but hardly in a hurry to watch the next one."
