"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?"

"Boat Story Was excellent, great characters, happy ever after, sort off."

[Alfs]

"Boat Story jumps the shark, IMO. Slow Horses returns next week. Now that's a show!"

[LeroysBoots]

The Boat on BBC1 is insane! Highly recommend the Tarantinoesque drama Some brutal scenes in it

"Percy Dalton 7:42 Sun Nov 5 In Season 3 episode 2 of Justified - Raylan's boss, Art Mullen and Bill Nicolls ( another former Marshall and friend who was subsequently murdered ) were wallowing in nostalgia and pondering how they would have stacked up against the oldbreed. The name of Bass Reeves came up and Art said something like - "" Wait till Denzel finds out about him "" - can't remember exactly, but perhaps that sowed the seed for ""Lawmen"""

"I’m five episodes out of eight into Bodies and have decided to give up. What a steaming pile of shit. Terrible writing, crap acting, full of cliched bollocks. I can’t believe I’ve wasted 5 hours of my life with this shit."

"On Netflix I binged watched The Ripper, the 2020 docuseries about The Yorkshire Ripper. Seen a lot of the info etc before but it's well worth a watch if nothing else to see what a pigs ear the police made of it."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Probably opening myself up to accusations of 'jacking this thread, but didn't feel the subject was worthy of it's own. For yous of a certain age, going to the cinema of the 50's & 60s and you had a short pre-main feature film called ""Look at Life""; about 20 minutes long, a small documentary about, well, life in the UK. I've just found them on YouTube/The Pirate Bay and they are a fascinating look at the ""Good old days"". If you want your nostalgia with a strong hint of stiff upper lip, take a look at a few."

"'We own this City' By the same writers who did the Wire. Based on real events, if its only 50% accurate then the Baltimore cops were out of control. Only 6 episodes but a very good watch."

[Council Scum]

"""The Wire are fantastic, both plots and actors top notch"" Isn't Idris Elba in The Wire?"

[DukeofDevo]

New series of BOSCH LEGACY out a few days ago! Well worth catching all series if you haven’t already

"I’ve seen episodes here and there over the years but only recently started watching peep show from the start, on season 6 and it’s absolutely top class 10/10"

[LeroysBoots]

Public Enemy on Netflix Loosely based around the Marc Dutroux child abduction and murder case in Belgium Exceptional

[Mickey Rat]

"The Americans and The Wire are fantastic, both plots and actors top notch, IMHO far better than anything on now"

[Percy Dalton]

*Lawmen.

[Percy Dalton]

Lawrence Bass Reeves watched the first episode and its excellent. Written by the same bloke who wrote Yellowstone.

Side of Ham 3:11 Tue Oct 31 Agree sometimes its difficult seeing actors key to other series that you recognise and takes time to adjust. Actors in Spiral and Braquo feature in the Dark Hearts so its a testament to the skills of the programme to dispel your disbelief!

"Manuel, Snowfall is superb, you'll rip through it in no time."

[Manuel]

"Ex - Sorry mate, but I'm not jealous of you, I would be if you were roaring up Jennifer Anniston, but not because you are watching The Wire :-) I watched it back when and loved it, wouldn't watch it again though, but I've never watched any series twice. I fancy either The Americans or Snowfall, but it's a lot of tv and find it a bit daunting to start on one."

"Miike - he was one of them, the scene I referring to was with Clarence Royce, played by Glynn Turman. Gillan’s character was excellent too. I’d say they were all perfect for the roles they played - just exceptional writing, directing and acting."

[Takashi Miike]

"lowlife, I only watched it once but was the mayor played by aidan gillan? that was another great character"

[lowlife]

"Miike - so many highlights across all seasons. I did slightly prefer the series in the docks, but the others are exceptional too. Laughted out loud at Herc’s reaction to catching the Mayor in a compromising situation."
