    I see Sky Atlantic are showing Homicide: Life on the streets, one of my all time favourite TV shows.

    Is that a drama or documentary?

    Just finished Toxic Town, loved it. Now. Starting Zero Hour with Robert De Nero.

    Drama, 7 seasons worth. A quite tremendous cast.

    Anything like or as good as The Wire? I know just cause both are set in Baltimore doesn't mean they'll be anything alike.

    Ah, I see. In that case, I'd highly recommend The Wire. So good.

    I think I'll give Homicide: Life on the Street a try, looking for something to watch.

    Just finished Dexter: Original Sin, decent enough watch. Good performance from the English actor (Patrick Gibson) who plays young Dexter.

    It’s ringing a bell now that the same former police officer from Baltimore was involved with both series.

    David Simon, who also wrote Treme and The Deuce, both of which are among my favourite US series.

    Not watched toxic town yet, it is the talk of our town at the moment.

    Regarding the wire, would recommend giving it a watch, Omar will be always be one of my favourite characters in any show.

    Have not long finished Oz again which was another classic HBO shows.

    Not a patch on The Wire, but still a decent watch.

    The Wire is still the best TV series ever made IMO.

    I think you likely know this, but for clarity for other poster, David Simon was a journalist, he wrote a book "Homicide: a year on the killing streets" which then led to the Homicide show, featuring many of the same stories.

    Ed Burns was the former cop who worked with Simon on that, plus then becoming screenwriter on The Corner and The Wire. He worked in the Homicide unit.

    Toxic Town is a story that needed told but Jodie Whitakers attempt at a Scottish accent was hurting my ears.

    I was a bit disappointed in the final episode of Paradise. Clearly setting up for a second series, though.

    Just finished episode 1 of Daredevil: Reborn.

    I cannot wait to see how this unfolds, and if it's getting serious hype (I've been trying to avoid it as I loved the initial series') it deserves every bit of it.

    Wow.
    Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

    Yeah I've been watching it and enjoying it despite it being all a bit daft. Kinda gives me Prison Break vibes, where it's kinda dumb but the twists and turns make it enough fun to stick with.

    Do you have to be in the know on the initial series for this?

    I enjoyed it. Glad the story came to an end and the next season looks like it may be completely different.

    James Marsden as the President was brilliant.

    It probably helps. I've only watched 1 episode, but certainly to understand the weight and connections between certain characters, it might otherwise be confusing if you haven't.

    Binge watched the first season of Severance. Utterly baffling yet brilliant at the same time.

    Weirdest thing I've watched in ages.

    I may have to give this a go again, I watched most of the first series and just thought it was crap! Maybe it's a very very slow burner like Ozark as that ended up being one of the finest shows ever.

    I can understand that. I think I persevered as I just wanted to see the climax of it.

    So good eh? I’m also tempted to watch it all over again! I don’t remember a slow or poor season.

    I really liked the ending, I thought it was well done with a nice surprise.

    Ivor the boneless was some boy but Ubbe was my favourite son.

    Ragnar and Lagertha tho, got to be up there as 2 of the best tv characters ever!

    No idea how historically accurate it is (probably not very) but I don’t care as it’s just outstanding viewing.

    Eldest daughter (13) decided she wanted to start watching f1 this season. Apparently nothing to do with Carlos Sainz...

    Anyway we jumped on the latest season of drive to survive. Haven't seen any of it before nor watched the racing so intrigued to see what my thoughts are in 6/12 months

    Like you, I was in two minds after the first episode but I stuck with it and enjoyed the first season. The body count stretches credulity but the cast are really strong performers.

    Reacher season 3 has been really good so far. This one is based on my favourite Reacher book and it hasn’t disappointed so far.
