"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?"

"When I saw a 10 year old with midget legs, out running an adult, I was on the way out, but the whole Darth Vader/Obi Wan was the clincher, as it completely throws out the timeline with Star Wars"

Yes Disney has totally messed up Star Wars. I don't think the woke thing would have changed regardless who bought the franchise. Just sign of the times.

Council Scum 6:02 Mon Jun 13 I'm up to episode 4 now on Obi-Wan and as I disagree that it's utter shite I agree it's disappointing. I mean it's pretty average to be honest.

"Takashi Miike 1:51 Tue Jun 14 Ozark is one of their biggest hits - Ever. Can't see why they wouldn't have supported it. Also, the creators would have had no say in how it was broadcast. It's more like Covid disrupted the shooting schedule and Netflix were desperate to get it on air, due to plunging subscription numbers. As brilliant as it was, it was time for it to end."

"ozark was very much like that. because of a lack of support from wokeflix, the creators decided to split the last season in to two lots of seven episodes. It was great up to the mid season break, yet completely ran out of ideas by the finish. a shame"

"I give up on almost every “box set” I start. The only ones I’ve finished were Sopranos and The Wire. Not sure if I have a short attention span or if I just get terribly bored of the constant stream of contrived and consistently more ridiculous situations that most of these shows think up to keep people hooked. Homeland is a good example. Also, many of them are just dull or copycat shit. Quantity over quality seems very much to be the order of the day."

"Never heard of it until recently when a mate suggested it, but I am absolutely loving Schitt's Creek. For those not in the know, as I was, it's a US comedy series created by Dan Levy and his father, Eugene Levy. First episode I wasn't sure but as you get into it and get to know the characters it's an absolute hoot. Catherine O'Hara is absolutely brilliant in it, as they all arr. Can honestly say I don't think I've enjoyed a comedy series as much as this since Only Fools."

"We Own This City on Sky Exposé on the Baltimore Police Dept. Produced by David Simon, he of The Wire fame. Sat down to watch 15 minutes to see what it was like and pulled myself away from the screen 3 episodes later! Will watch the last 3 this evening."

Watching Obi-Wan which is set 10 years after Anakin got his legs chopped off in that movie. Pretty good I mean you got Darth Vader and all that stuff. Most on here probably can't afford Disney stream on top of yer Virgin box.

Slow Horses on Apple is worth the £4.50 per month alone. Gary Oldman is superb.
