"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?"

"watched the first few episodes of season 2 of Bloodline. not as good now Mendelsohn's not fully involved but the character Kevin seems to be getting funnier, even though it's probably not intentional"

"I reckon over 20 episodes of the Tunnel, the subtitles appear only a handful of times. Every cսnt speaks English and because of the English plod, they are made too for his benefit."

"I watched Line of Fire last month and thought it was superb. I was recommended The Tunnel recently, which seemed similar, but I watched the first episode and it's set half in England and half in France. I don't do subtitles, so it got the sack, but it looks fucking excellent."

"Miller Showbox had an issue recently, not sure what happened but I recall reading a tweet that said something like 'years or work down the drain in a matter of hours'. I only really use it on my phone now as I find it quite annoying that whatever you watch seems to be split into 7 parts and the jump between parts is annoying, at home I tend to use Exodus and SALTS mainly."

"Just finished Da Vinci's Demons Utter rubbish historically but entertaining with the bonus of plenty of tits, bums and genitalia on show."

"Does anyone else use Showbox here? And are you having the same problem with it as I am if so? Meaning it can't find links and spends much of the time paused (""Processing..."") before (unsuccessfully) locating servers and won't update without crashing (""Unfortunately Showbox has stopped working"")? Great App but just does not work now on either of my 3 x android devices (tablet, phone, T8V3 box). Any thoughts apart from using Wookie/SALTS which is not as user friendly? Ta"

"Boxed sets are a diminishing return. You start with classic TV like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, The Wire, The Shield, Six Feet Under, etc - then you pass on to good stuff like Justified, Rectify, Damages or whatever floats your boat. Then you end up spending 6 weeks a pop watching average to mediocre stuff. The trick is to get out while you are ahead."

Bloodline does start off slow but picks up the pace after the first 2-3 episodes so might be worth having another stab at it.
