"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?"

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

The Studio is really hit and miss. Some episodes are brilliant. Others are fucking awful. The bad ones are basically a cross between a bad episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and a Jerry Lewis farce.

[Council Scum]

Started Dept Q and enjoying it so far.

Have just seen there is a Season 4 of Godfather of Harlem out so will be all over that next. 

Will give The Studio a look, cheers Swiss

Just finished the finale of The Studio. Fucking hilarious. Not laughed so much in ages. I just love Bryan Cranston. 

 

[Swiss.]

For comedy the best thing on TV right now is The Studio. I see Seth Rogan has managed to get loads of A list celebrities to do cameos like Scorsese, Tom Howard, Steve Buscemi, Zac Efron and many more. 

He’s character reminds me of Ari Gold in the brilliant Entourage. 

[Alan]

Just started watching 'Department Q'
It's definitely a bit different. I like it.

[Manuel]

This City is ours, loved it but thought the last episode was disappointing and kind of went off script. Second series confirmed.

[Swiss.]

Couple of years old but Midnight Mass well worth a watch if anyone let it pass them by, and House on Haunted Hill for that matter. Made by the same people I believe 

I think you mean The Haunting of Hill House which I thought was excellent . Couldn’t get into Midnight Mass. 

[Manuel]

He's not in it for long......great series though.

Yea that was a shock. Really enjoying it.

Gomorrah has started again from season 1 on Sky Atlantic if anyone hasn't seen it yet

[Manuel]

Started This city is ours, yea seems OK but nothing you ain't seen before. Sean Bean is always good value.

[honky cat]

The weathers turned shit and the footballs over. So back to telly.
Thought i'd start black mirror 7. Just a quick episode before bed - Common People -  excellent return to form after a couple of weak seasons, but now i feel like i want to stare into space for 3 days. WTF it was a tough one. Blackest of black comedy.

One episode into A Murder at the End of the World. Very impressed. Has 4 of my favourite actors in it as Emma Corrin, Brit Marling, Clive Owen and Alice Braga. 

Man I highly recommend this. 

[Swiss.]

Anyone recomend Murderbot?

The Day of the Jackal, alongside The Penguin is the best show I've watched for some time. OK it wasn't perfect, but found it fast paced, stylish, and with some good characters. Bring on season 2.

Plodding on with Mobland each week, I really like it. Will give This city is ours a go at some point.

[Swiss.]

Looking forward to seeing the latest Mobland episode tonight. After the ending of last episode I'm expecting some real fireworks. 

[Swiss.]

The Stolen Girl was quite good. 

[only1billybonds]

Absolutely Alfs.
Up til then, US cop shows were heavily sugar coated and sometimes cringe but HSB stripped all that away and changed police shows forever.
Still available now on Ch 4 catch up channel.

[Alfs]

Zico.

If you remember 'Hill Street Blues' ....

I loved that show.  Monday  nights at 9.00 pm if I recall.
"Be careful out there".

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

I would like add that Shogun was also very good albeit a bit slow at times. 

 

 

New series in 2026 fella.

NYPD Blue was excellent  quite gritty for it's time.
If you remember 'Hill Street Blues' then it's a similar vibe only set in New York rather than LA. Some great storylines and it wasn't afraid tobshow the sleazier side of some in the force. Cant speak for Blue Bloods as  never saw it but I would highly recommend NYPD Blue.

[zico]

Stumbled across a couple of videos on You Tube that showed clips of the old show NYPD Blue and another one Blue Bloods.  Not sure why I never watched them first time around but are they worth watching now or would they be a bit dated?  I see there are seasons galore so would be a long watch!!
