"Zico - Just finished it, it makes for good tv, and of course it gets you hooked, a whodunnit always does. Like a lot of these types of shows it can get a bit 'silly' and unrealistic, but it's a good watch for sure and the pace never slackens off."

After being persuaded to give Fool Me Once on Netflix a go I must say I'm hooked after one episode and I usually prefer films over series. Mind you Michelle Keegan does make it an easier watch.

"The plot line in the first Slow Horses series is the opposite of that, Brando It’s an MI5 entrapment plot that seeks to create an anti far right narrative which actually gets exposed."

My bedtime watch is currently Ken Burns `The Civil War'... if you liked the Vietnam series that was brought out a few years ago this is right up there a superbly crafted and put together series (on one of the sky channels)... maybe the World at War just pips it for me...

"The first 2 Fargo's are some of the best tv I've ever seen, the 3rd season was pretty good, 4 I won't go near, but like you say heard 5 is back on form, so may get around to it at some point soon. Finishing up 'Fool me once' on Netflix, it's a trifle exhausting as many characters and sub plots etc involved, but it's got me hooked and would recommend it. Keegan is a bit of a sort too."

Another +1 for Fargo. A true return to form after a disapointing season 4 Anyone not familiar they're (almost) all standalones so not important to miss a season.

"Watched the second series of Time, this one was in a women's nick, it's not bad but preferred the first one with Sean Bean."

Fucking hell now Braindead wants things like Slow Horses to be accurate to the real MI5.....hahahaha!.....as for his 'woke' comment the whole point of Gary Oldman's character is to take the piss out of it.

"I like Slow Horses for entertainment value, mainly due to Oldman, but it's never anything close to real life MI5 ffs, the last two episodes in the third series were frankly ridiculous. Started watching the new Netflix series 'Fool me once' with Michelle Keegan and Joanna Lumley, it's OK so far, a proper old whodunnit."

"I've listened to the Podcast and am now watching Mr Bates. It's a fucking disgrace how the Post Office treated those people, and now they're fighting tooth and nail to pay as little compo as possible. Those in charge at the time need to be prosecuted. Did no one think 'Oh, hang on. fraud is historically very rare and now we suddenly have 500 postmasters at it'?"

"Also watched Mr Bates. Good TV but those cunts at the post office and Fujitsu deserve prosecution. The BBC podcast series on it is good too, gives a lot more insight into what happened. As with the Tv series it’s a good listen but does make you angry. I’m amazed that the CBE hasn’t been taken off of that witch."

Mr Bates v the post office is a very good watch. Based on a the true story of the incompetent post office cunts.Remember bits a the time. absolutely how the cunts ruined loyal servants lives for so long is a national scandal. To this day not been recognised enough. Toby jones is good with a decent cast.

New series of Fargo is worth checking out. John Hamm and Jennifer Jason Leigh both put in a appearance.

"As below, Slow horses is as good as ever, if not better, Oldman as Lamb is sensational. Kebab shop worker ''do you want any sauce on your kebab, mate?'' Lamb ''I want enough sauce so that I can't taste the meat''"
