"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?"

"Correct Surface, I still haven't watched The Marvellous Mrs Maisel. Just hasn't grabbed me as something that I would make the effort to watch. is it any good? Luke was a cool guy, very reserved and quiet but a really talented actor and a fun bloke once he loosens up and gets to know you."

Yeah we talked about Swingers a bit but mostly he was just a really down to earth bloke struggling to entertain his two daughters so me having 4 daughters with only one of them in the film was a god send to him as my other 3 played with his two all day everyday leaving us to chill and chat.

"No Anon, I haven't seen that film but will look it up on your recommendation but we did talk quite a bit about his stint on Boardwalk Empire with some interesting stories. His wife in real life, Rosemarie DeWitt plays my daughters mum in a film set to come out next year so Ron was on set with their two adopted daughters a lot of the time so we were playing daddy daycare with our kids collectively and chatted a lot, really really nice bloke and as a massive fan of BoB I was fascinated to hear all the stuff he had to say about it. An actor called Luke Kirby plays the dad in the film my daughter is in and he's been in loads of stuff but most interestingly for me he was in The Deuce which I loved but seemed to be a bit of an unknown gem to most so he loved talking about that as he mostly gets asked about stuff he did like Blue Bloods and Gossip Girl."

"Livingston was also good in Loudermilk, a series he did for 3 seasons and ended a couple years ago. Though its Seattle is painfully Vancouvery Canadian. Not as bad as Psych trying to make it Santa Barbara, mind you."

"NS, you might not have seen but Dexter Fletcher (English actor from Lock Stock, the Press Gang kids programme in the 80's, etc) is one of the producers of The Offer. He was in Band of Brothers so has pulled in a few of his old mates to be part of this project. I spent a fair amount of time with Ron Livingston (Captain Lewis Nixon) from BoB this summer and we had a bit of a joke about how disappointed he was at not getting a call to be part of The Offer. He did say that the cast of BoB are all still really close and regularly meet up on anniversaries of the filming."

"Halfway through series 4 of Brassic, they must have a right fucking laugh filming that. Having Michelle Keegan around cant be a bad thing either."

5 episodes in no The Watcher and highly recommend. Intriguing to say the least. Not really a fan of series longer than a handful of episodes but this has got me hooked.

"Nurse - great stuff, I love The Wire. Many excellent characters, hard to pick a ‘best’ season as they are all really well done. Freamon is probably my favourite character."

Nurse 3:40 Great choice one of the best programs ever made. Really gets going in season 3. Omar is one of the best characters in it.

"Yep, Hostel was below the belt, I still sometimes think about those films, it's not so much what you saw but the thought that something like that actually happening to someone. Have to agree with Nuts, it's it's too gory (or even violent) who the fuck wants to see it."

"yeah fair enough, if it's a good film I'm ok with gore, but films like Hostel are too much for me, I'm already well aware of what it's like to be tortured for 90 minutes."
