"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?"

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.

The new Gervais thing is very poor.
No it's not. Not brilliant, but not very poor by any chalk.
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.

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.

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.
Well FMOB!

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.

Agree with all that Manny.
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.

Landman is excellent...Billy Bob Thornton steals the show but Michelle Randolph,Ali Larter and Kayla Wallace are so hot.....
Also stars John Hamm and Demi Moore.
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.
billy -bob Thornton is the gaffer

I can't be bothered with the Night Manager. I can't take the midget seriously, for a start. It reminds me of the Monty Python sketch with Carol Cleveland acting in a trench while Michael Palin stands on a box.
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

Having never heard of Harlan Coben, or seen any of his previous series, we gave Runaway a spin, jesus christ, how the hell does he keep getting work from Netflix, fucking awful, more holes than a tramps vest, binned after episode 1.
You must see Tell No One...a French adaption of one of his novels. It's an excellent film.

The Night Manager 1 is some of the best TV I've seen, so was very much looking forward to series 2 but so far it's not done it to me. For a start the 'baddies' are just not convincing, where in series 1 the worst man in the world Roper and his cronies were brilliant, also in this one Pine has got an 'in' way too easily. Hopefully it will get better but not holding my breath. Shame.

Trailer Park Boys is my favourite tv series of all time it's ridiculously funny
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
