"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?"

Season 3 Mr Mercedes is very good! Almost a stand alone story line! S2 is a bit WTF but don’t bypass S3 is my recommendation FWIW

Mr Mercedes season 1, very good, started season 2 and without giving the spoiler away, if it doesn't change quickly, I'm done with it, as it's gone stupid.

Anyone seen FBI series from 2018? I believe there are a couple of spin offs? Stumbled across it on Prime and can't believe I haven't heard of it before. A few episodes in and I'm hooked.

The Death of Bunny Munroe is a must. Not a fan of Matt Smith but he's excellent.
The Iris Affair is a great yarn and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, Down Cemetery Road is well worth a watch.

CS.
Same here,5 episodes in and am enjoying it so far.
On 2, hope it continue as it is. The old Mum, and son relationship is a bit unsettling though.

Caine's autobiography is good value ..his description of the dog closing the door behind him on the set of ZULU is priceless.
Thanks for the heads up, can't believe I haven't read that one. Have read "Blowing the Bloody Doors Off", "The Elephant to Hollywood" and "Don't Look Back, You Will Trip Over" but not "What's It All About?". Found it on Amazon so thanks. Reading Parky's autobiography at the moment, very good. If you like your autobiographies Roger Moore's books are a great read, very funny.

Didn't realise Gilligan was involved with this
He isn't. Monsieur is maybe getting it mixed up with another new series that Gilligan did write, Pluribus.

The Beast In Me is the next of my thriller list. Anyone watched it yet?
One episode in and as hooked as hell. Believe the hype it is looking excellent and Mathew Rhys is an excellent actor. Danes is playing Carrie like character again.all manic and emotional which is a bit irritating. Same writer as Homeland init.
I agree with that ...she was basically carrie ....same goes for Jonathan Banks as MIKE Ermantroot
This series was average ...at best.
Gilligan will always be up against it after breaking bad a ànd better call saul.
This is way off both of those

Yep, brillant, the guy was a genius. Some of my favourite Parky interviews were with Michael Caine. Very funny guy with a story or two to tell.

Reckon I'll give it a swerve.
Her character was the reason I gave up on Homeland.
Ex missus type Lee ?
Yep ...the devils child on the rag for sure...only permanently so
My sister is like this too which is a double top for me

I thought Malice was pretty good. Jack Whitehall out of character as a nasty SOB. worked well.

As said before not one for box sets usually and dumped Lazarus after a couple of episodes but I must say I'm hooked on Sky's "All Her Fault" to the extent I want to skip right through to the last episode. Pretty well done.
Just an update. Wow, finished it in three days and had no idea where that was going. Slow in places but stick with it, quite a series.
