"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?"

Maybe I'll get panned for this but watched 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' on the iPlayer almost by accident as I generally hate BBC3. Written and starring Daisy May Cooper who had completely passed me by with that show

"Northern - watched that recently. Pretty harrowing stuff, and in the middle of that you have absolute dregs of civilisation like the Israeli guys (particularly Yaar) and that entirely predictable American guy who “doesn’t feel guilty about anything”."

Just watched the three parter on Netflix Aftershock all about 2015 Nepal earthquake... some of the footage is barely believable... incredible stories as well

"Just finished and would recommend Dopesick - a miniseries about the big pharma company Purdue, that illegally promted the deadly opioid oxycontin to an innocent American public, with the help of an entirely corrupt FDA. I look forward to the future Pfizer miniseries in about 20 years, when the current scumbags that profit from regulated poison are finally exposed."

"Side - I would agree with that, to make out that right wing extremism is more than a threat in the UK than Islamic fundamentalism was rubbish, disappointing but not unexpected."

"Finished ""The Offer"" last night...Loved it thanks for the recommendation. Now what's next ?"

"New Jersey, I watched the first episode of that walk in and indeed Stephen Graham was excellent but the subliminal wokeness on a true story to make white people the worst of all the terrorism that goes on over here was ridiculous. For instance there was a scene where it was obviously an EDL type march where the opposition protestors were all Asian women.....behave ffs....at least show the scum which sits on both sides of this type of shit....in fact just tell the truth of it....instead you end up watching a half truth at best....."

Mark Kermode is a twat like most critics.

"House across the street on Channel 5 is building up quite nicely. Also liked the Walk in, Stephen Graham was excellent as ever."

"I'm a Godfather buff so will watch The Offer, if I ever finish Dahmer that is."

"Swiss. 11:43 Wed Oct 19 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls Northern. '""Panned by the critics""? Got 8.7/10 on IMD Those are user reviews Swiss .. If you click on critic reviews you get a better idea of what critics think"

"its best to find a critic who's taste matches yours. Some stuff Mark Kermode likes I like, some he doesn't like that I do but I always recognise why so generally see it. He does sometimes follow the crowd a bit"

"I don't take much notice of critical reviews any more. They are mostly paid for, coerced or bribed by the film studios or have political agendas of their own or their employers that they can't resist pushing. Witness the rave critical reviews for pieces of crap like She-Hulk, Rings of Power etc that contrast with the audience rating drubbings. I suspect we are about to get the same in reverse for Black Adam. Lukewarm critics and a billion bucks plus at the global box office."

57% critics Rotten Tomatoes

"Northern. '""Panned by the critics""? Got 8.7/10 on IMDB."

"Finished the Offer… really enjoyable yarn… so much so Godfather, and Part 2 will be viewed again for the umpteenth time in the next few days… strange one as the Offer got absolutely panned by the critics yet everyone I know that watched it said the same how much they enjoyed it."

The deuce was superb. One of my favourite programs.

"Zico - might watch that, and the Steve Thompson dementia one. Tough viewing indeed. I had a mate get diagnosed with MND. Horrific disease, was in his mid 30s and lived for 3 years."

"Not a box set but just seen on twitter - Rob Burrow: Living With MND – a brand new #BBCBreakfast documentary. An intimate film about a love, support and determination. Tuesday 18th October BBC Two at 7pm. Sure, it will be a tough watch but valuable awareness for this horrific disease."

Jim79 12:56 Tue Oct 18 Interesting that ... yeah noticed Dexter F' was producing so it all makes sense..

"Claypole, I agree. I thought it was very underrated. Should have been a much bigger success than it was but came at a time when James Franco got himself in to hot water so probably didn't get the promotion it deserved. Maggie Gyllenhaal was outstanding in it. Surface, still not really floating my boat massively but I've certainly watched plenty of stuff that hasn't jumped off the page at me so will try to give it a go."

"Jim79 I suspect Mrs Maisel is aimed mainly at women, but it's a decent watch because, and here's the thing, while Mrs Maisel makes a lot of feminist jokes about men in her comedy act, all the male supporting characters are treated with respect and affection/love. n.b. Disney/BBC - that's how you do it, morons."
