I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.

Yeah looking forward to that. First two series were great, third was a bit meh, fourth a little better. But still one of the best things I've seen on TV the last few years.


The Bear is a bit like Dawsons Creek for me, sorry.

Its really well acted and that, but its not a comedy (which is where it was plopped so it could win awards).
It just doesn't have real jeopardy and the set pieces are nonsensical.

Struggling to put up a plasterboard wall, putting sugar in instead of salt, an adult unable to tell a woman he likes her, its all a bit meh.

No doubt it will get every last ounce of life flogged out of it by the network

Only recently I started watching Goliath.

Got me hooked.

Onto Season 3 now already which has started a bit slow and weird but I'm sticking with it as the first two seasons were immense

Billy Bob Thornton is superb

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

I think previously I have mentioned 'For all Mankind' on Apple which has been hugely successful for them. They have a spin off 'Star City' which has Anna Maxwell Martin playing a starring role. She is exceptionally good in this new series and well worth a watch if you are like me a fan of hers.

First series was amazing. I didn't mind the 3rd but it wasn't as strong. I'm a few episodes into season 4 and enjoying it, and by all accounts season 5 is very good.

I started watching Breaking Bad recently. I was never that taken by it – I didn't have Netflix and resented buying a DVD for a series I might not like. How stupid I was; it's brilliant. The casting, performances, photography, scripting, etc are just on point. I've done one or two episodes a night for the last few weeks (difficult to sleep at night in this heat) and am up to series 4 now.

All subjective but for me The Sopranos is the best TV show ever made. I rewatch it every year.

Better Call Saul equally as good IMO. So once you're done with BB

I never really got into the Sopranos.

Liked what I saw but never got hooked.

First three series of The Wire takes some beating.

Hill Street Blues would probably look very dated now but in it's day was definitely numero uno.

Aside from all the points you have already mentioned, another thing it does really well is capture the insecurity of capitalist society (and where that can drive people).

Not quite a spin off from Sopranos but Lilyhammer is worth a watch with Steven Van Zandt reprising a role as a Mafia hit man on the run and building his own empire.

Gomorrah - The Origins.

Watched the first episode and must say I'm a little disappointed that they didn't carry on the sub-titles version rather than the cheesy American dubbed voices.

Other than that, Iiking what I see so far for one of my top 5 favourite series over the years.

I can't find it again, maybe it was removed?

There was a perfect post on X. I think it was an advert from Hulu promoting the last season of The Bear.

The top reply underneath was like four words, describing the last scene of the finale.
Absolute chaos below it!

There are a few things Twitter was great for, and that was one, hang it in the Louvre.

By S05 The Bear was so formulaic it probably wrote itself, truly the emperors new clothes

Totally agree. The Wire the best ever for me and by a distance.

Sopranos is one of those most mentioned in best ever lists, so I made a point of watching all seasons of it. Its good, no doubt, but for me not even close to The Wire.

If we’re getting into Best of All Time territory, then the first series of True Detective has to be in the mix.

I need a SAGA. What’s the SAGA? It’s ….. Queen’s Park Rangers.

First two seasons of NYPD Blue are sublime, without this programme there would be no Wire or True Detective.

I'd have loved to see those creators work without the restraints of Network Television they had at the time.

They had a little run with "Luck" which was the Dustin Hoffman vehicle a few years back. That was good TV, but I think production costs and animal welfare concerns got it shut down.
