"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?"

Bishopsfinger 4:03 Tue Feb 9 So rick crook sends kids to public school and you expect them to sound like Danny Dyer? I'm a working class Londoner and my boys went to private school and they sound just like that. Sort of posh/london. So fuck off you twat.

"ted - I am late to Line of Duty too. I'm up to finishing series 4. You will enjoy 3 and 4 equally, but as Takashi Miike said earlier it does start to get more PC."

There are many times in Gomorrah where the protagonists either have a chance to escape or are advised to. They don’t. They chose to live in shit places with murderers all around them. Bleak nonsense. Regarding Covid. I have consistently said it’s fine for most of us so just be happy and get on with a positive life. Of course I understand why people like bleak drama and bleak lives.

"Gomorrah is unrelentingly depressing and bleak'' Series based on drug dealing gangs in the slums of Naples. What did you expect, Fawlty fucking Towers?. Like Manuel said,go back to spreading joy and glee on the Covid thread."

BRANDED 12:27 Mon Feb 8 ''Gomorrah is unrelentingly depressing and bleak'' Says the man who has spent every day for the past year talking about death on the Covid thread. Brilliant.

"I've watched 2 eps of Gangs of London and am not overly impressed. The writers have taken Peaky Blinders, added some imitation Kray brothers, set it in the present day and added over the top violence. And the lead actor is weak. Shame, as it's a gift of a part in the right hands. Brilliant production values though and very well directed."

Gamorrah is unrelentingly depressing and bleak. You end up shouting at the screen “ just fucking off with a few million”. Like the bloke in Blackburn did.

If you like visceral operatic violence you should be well pleased. If you want documentary style reality drama you’ll be disappointed

"I got the pox with Gomorrah in the end, mate of mine absolutely raved about it, thought it was average at best. Bloke who played Genny got on my tits as well. Zerozerozero looks good 2 episodes in."

"Halfway through latest series of Suburra at the moment. Actually prefer it to Gomorrah tbh, less predictable (Gomorrah ended up being.. any new character on screen for more than 5 minutes will be killed by the end of the episode) Zerozerozero is next Not a boxset but defo recommend Mosul on Netflix. Arab with English subs, think it was made in Qater."

3% on Netflix is quite good if you're into your Brazilian future dystopia-type drama.

ZeroZeroZero I mentioned yonks ago. Good stuff. Gangs of London worth it for episode 5 alone. The Farm House raid by the Danish mercenaries is fucking classic.

"Saw Zerozerozero about a year ago and it's fucking great. Amalfi Mafia, psycho Mexican special forces, African gangs and the Taliban. How could you not like it? It's great storytelling too as every episode begins with the last scene and the rest is the story of how they got to that point. As you say, it's top class telly."

Have Zerozerozero next on the list. Heard a few people say it’s top class.
