"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?"

Kin was excellent,some great characters. Sadly it doesn't look like they'll be any more episodes.
Looks a stretch doesn't it, a real shame as thought it was really good, raw, with a constant menace in the air. Liked the score too. Bren was an utter lunatic. ''so you've finally grown a pair of balls''

Watched 'Kin' hadn't heard of it until it was mentioned on here. Thought it was brilliant with some good characters. Hopefully they can sort out production issues and make more.

Yeah its not to his usual standard, but its still watchable and mainly on point.
Nearly all comedians have a shelf life, he's done well for nearly 30 years now.

No it's not. Not brilliant, but not very poor by any chalk.

Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
Thanks for the night manager spoilers . . .
I put on that Depeche mode thing on netflix, I thought it was a drama about the early days in Basildon but it's not. The new Gervais thing is very poor.

Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls
I hope you're right but I'm not so sure and they would have really had to cover it up, plus there are only 3 episodes left so they best hurry it up.

The second series is all a little too 'convenient' for my liking. I'll stick with it though.
Have read somewhere that a third series is likely, so like many other series I suspect we'll end up with the law of diminishing returns. Hopefully not.Series 3 has been confirmed.I would also agree with that so far but only 2 episodes in. I think Roper makes an appearance soon .
The most important scene so far is when Coleman and Hiddleston go to recognise the body and only Coleman is allowed in. I recon Roper did a deal with MI5. You'll see my genius of deduction later.

Some of the scenes are so topical that all the woke, green cunts should be made to watch.
Best thing Ive watched for ages.Second series was out in November 25...third series commissioned.

I binged through season 1 the last two nights to catch up, entertaining and enjoyable. I know its not a documentary but its a bit unbelievable . . .
Who is the midget. The only obvious one is corky the nudger, but i doubt he'll pop up in season 2.
Tom Hollander claims 5'5'', but he's shorter than that.
he's brilliant in Thick Of It and Taboo, not sure why he shouldn't be taken seriously

You must see Tell No One...a French adaption of one of his novels. It's an excellent film.

WWE Unreal is very good if you're into that sort of thing...which I'm definitely not....I don't watch wrestling...honest
I agree, the episode when Bubbles has crabs is hilarious. So many brilliant characters
