"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?"

"Currently watching ""The Affair""' mainly because it has Ruth Wilson in it who I really like (played the nutty bird in Luther). It's not in my top 5, but more than watchable."

"Just started on Mr Mercedes. You'll have to wait a few weeks for the full first series but it's shaping up really well. Cast is spot on, even if they did add in another character and change the background for Jerome, it's very good. If you enjoyed the book trilogy, you'll definitely take to this."

"I've recommended an Icelandic murder mystery quite a few times on here, called Trapped. Best thing I've seen in last 12 months. After an avalanche, a small town is cut off from outside assistance, and the local police force have a murder on their hands. Much more too it than that, and it's both beautiful and gripping. If you liked The Killing and perhaps other Scandi-noir, then you'd like this."

"I tried and tried with The Wire and just couldn't get into it. Slow, boring. So far I've taken notice of many recommendations including Sopranos Narcos Gomorrah (what a find) Sneaky Pete Ray Donovan Animal Kingdom (also veey good) But the wire is very, meh."

The Bureau is fucking superb. One of the best TV shows ever in my opinion. Series 3 has just finished but isn't available in the UK yet.

"Agreed W4. Once I've finished with S3 of Narcos I'll be on to S3 of this. Really looking froward to it, which is rare, but S2 was a cracker."

"Mart O 7:13 Thu Sep 7 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls One thing I caught up with quite late is 'The Bureau' or ""Le bureau des legendes'. In French with subtitles, kind of like a French 'Homeland' but much better, brilliant writing and acting. I've watched the first two seasons recently. Really excellent TV. _________________________ its absolutely brilliant - agreed series two is even better than series one"

"On the second episode of Ozark, definitely has potential. I see the chap directed it himself as well."

PD - Couldn't disagree more. I loved the second series of Billions. Can't wait for series 3!

Yeah definitely stick with that. Season 2 is probably the slowest but after that it really cracks on. Probably one of the best tv shows ever made.

Stick with it Rusta. It's a slow but steady burner. Each series has its own new angle.

Power has been the shizz. All set up for the next series. Bit like a drug gang version of GOT as no one is safe from being offed.
