"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?"

.....at the end of the day she can be the difference between them getting the sufficient grades to move to a better college so she has to have that close relationship otherwise they'd continue to fuck off lessons and fail

"collyrob, students at that college get a $300 fine if caught shagging in their rooms, no chance that bird would risk her career or future at another college by doing that. if she went anywhere near a player, it would be known by every cսnt at the university very quickly"

"Leroys Have you seen ""Riget (or ""The Kingdom"") by Lars Von Trier? Just two seasons which came out in 1994 and 1997. Subtitles, continental, and if you find anything more moody, let me know. It gets pretty freaky at times, but is also very funny at times. A danish cult classic."

I need a moody continental thriller with lots of twists and sub titles Once you have seen a few they get addictive Any recommendations please ?

"JONSEY I'm in the same boat. Just finished the 3rd series. Waiting for the 4th to finish, so I can watch it all on catch up. As for Voight, Mickey is the best character on the programme."

"Homicide series by the Wire bloke was pretty good, at least season 1 was, which is all I've seen so far. Love the stand up comic bloke who starts in it, who's always going on about ex-girlfriends and the benefits of the hemp plant."

"I wouldn't call re-watching the Wire a waste of 60 hours. Better that than spending 60 hours watching something new that's just mediocre. I often re-read books and re-watch films. Probably depends on whether you're more interested in the story or the story telling. If it's mainly the story and you're not so fussed about the writing, dialogue, acting, etc. then not worth it at all, but otherwise..."

"That's the thing Miike, I just think it is so much better than anything else I've ever seen in terms of the quality of the writing, the acting, the characters, dialogue....you name it. Most of all, every season and episode is worthwhile. Funnily enough, couple of years back I came across a copy of David Simon's book 'Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets' which was obviously the basis for that series and to some extent 'The Wire'. I couldn't believe how badly written it was. I still struggle to see how he went from that to writing the greatest tv drama ever, IMHO, of course...there must be hope for the rest of us..."

"So I was seriously thinking about watching The Wire again. The whole thing. Daft idea, of course, unless you were bedridden. However, I did come across this 'Omar Comin' Supercut', which I thought was excellent and some of you might enjoy if you have 2h45 to waste...(well, it's a little better than wasting 60 hours) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpKfV8l-bdc"

Wolf Creek is OK. Silly at times but easily watchable. Only six episodes as well so you can smash through it. Just started Bates Motel was is pretty good so far.
