"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?"

[Council Scum]

CS.

Same here,5 episodes in and am enjoying it so far.

On 2, hope it continue as it is. The old Mum, and son relationship is a bit unsettling though.

Caine's autobiography is good value ..his description of the dog closing the door behind him  on the set of ZULU is priceless.

Thanks for the heads up, can't believe I haven't read that one.  Have read "Blowing the Bloody Doors Off", "The Elephant to Hollywood" and "Don't Look Back, You Will Trip Over" but not "What's It All About?".  Found it on Amazon so thanks.  Reading Parky's autobiography at the moment, very good.  If you like your autobiographies Roger Moore's books are a great read, very funny.

Didn't realise Gilligan was involved with this

He isn't. Monsieur is maybe getting it mixed up with another new series that Gilligan did write, Pluribus.

The Beast In Me is the next of my thriller list. Anyone watched it yet? 

One episode in and as hooked as hell. Believe the hype it is looking excellent and Mathew Rhys is an excellent actor.  Danes is playing Carrie like character again.all manic and emotional which is a bit irritating. Same writer as Homeland init. 

 

I agree with that ...she was basically carrie ....same goes  for Jonathan Banks as MIKE Ermantroot
This series was average ...at best.
Gilligan will always be up against it after breaking bad a ànd better call saul.
This is way off both of those

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Yep, brillant, the guy was a genius.  Some of my favourite Parky interviews were with Michael Caine.  Very funny guy with a story or two to tell.

Caine's autobiography is good value ..his description of the dog closing the door behind him  on the set of ZULU is priceless.

Reckon I'll give it a swerve.

Her character was the reason I gave up on Homeland.

Ex missus  type Lee ?
Yep ...the devils child on the rag  for sure...only permanently so
My sister is like this too  which is a double top for me

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Finished The Beast in Me. Very good thriller, I was surprised how good it was! Hooked till the end 

Easily pleased then Duke son?..

Watched latest Slow Horses.

Utter crud, as usual

[Takashi Miike]

I thought Malice was pretty good. Jack Whitehall out of character as a nasty SOB. worked well.

[zico]

As said before not one for box sets usually and dumped Lazarus after a couple of episodes but I must say I'm hooked on Sky's "All Her Fault" to the extent I want to skip right through to the last episode. Pretty well done. 

Just an update. Wow, finished it in three days and had no idea where that was going. Slow in places but stick with it, quite a series.

Fraser.

2nd series of Landman starts on Sunday.

 

[fraser]

Finished first season of Landman last night, very good series. 

[Sweep]

Under the Banner of Heaven is good - just need to stick past the first episode - it's on ITVX and based on a true crime story in the 80s involving Mormonism.

Alpha Males on Netflix is in Spanish but the first couple of series are a good laugh - currently on season 3.

[honky cat]

Im halfway through Trespasses. 
if youre into the 70s, the troubles and sex - its right up your street. Probably won't be a happy ending but its an easy watch, 4 x 50 min episodes, and Gillian Anderson does a great turn.

[violator]

Mrs V is watching Blue Lights, I must admit I only caught a bit of it, but are all the ones in charge women? I did ask her and if it was a BBC production, she told me to fuck off.

[collyrob]

First couple episodes of Pluribus were very good. 

[Sydney_Iron]

Finished season 3 of blue lights. Loved it. 

Getting a bit bored with slow horses 

Blue Lights is maybe the best thing from the BBC right now, brilliant show, season 1 and 2 where superb and so far, season 3 (4 episodes in) is even better.

Hope we get a season 4..........

Like Slow Horses as well, and the first 2 seasons are excellent and the best IMO, but getting a bit stale now, still a good watch, just not as good as before.
