"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?"

"jfk - Yep it's good, but after the first 2 episodes, which I thought were pretty tense, I thought it tailed off a little with the run of the mill car chases and punch up's etc, but that's probably me over analyzing it. I think series 3 is out end of year, a fourth series has been confirmed too."

"Manuel,thought both series were top notch so much so I’ve read the Mick Herron books where Jackson Lamb(Oldman) is even more obnoxious.Highly recommended. Hope a third series is imminent."

"Slow Horses - Finished series 1, it's decent but it started to get what I would call ''a bit ''silly'' with some unrealistic scenes/story-lines, etc, but it's good enough to continue with."

I was late in watching Evacuation as well. Thought it was excellent. Read about it everyday it was going on and watched news footage too. The graphics in Evacuation though… Just absolute respect for those who had to deal with and help with all that.

"Watched the Sixth Commandment on BBC last night, excellent! Timothy Spall will win a BAFTA or whatever the fuck for TV. He's come along way from Auf Wiedersen (not sure on spelling)."

I’m watching the new Jack Ryan. I hadnt watched the previous ones but doesnt seem to matter. Its a load of old nonsense but I’m entertained by it. Its difficult to say why but the good and evil are not all predictable.

Yup agreed Evacuation is one of the best things I have seen on TV in a long long time... harrowing as hell and as I said at the time of us pulling out... probably one of our most shameful episodes in our proud history.

Evacuation is excellent but hard to watch at times. The Taliban are brutal.

May I recommend EVACUATION on All4? Superb documentary about the evacuation of Kabul not so long ago. Top TV.

Up to episode 4 of Hijack. Neil Maskell from Kill List is good as usual playing a nutter.
