Any good series on Netflix of Amazon Prime? Watching Girl Boss at the minute. Started off decent enough.
Jim you're a wild man for the box set. Give the missus an oul foot massage.
The handy life of being a teacher. Must be great to be finished at 3pm everyday and have loads of time for box sets.

Suppose I should save some box sets for the summer right enough! You would get through 2 box sets a week during the summer.

Just finished watching Department Q shown on BBC4 and should be available on the iPlayer.  It is a set of three feature length films.  It is a Danish production with subtitles, a crime drama.

It was excellent, a very good scandi noir, stands easily alongside The Killing and The Bridge.

Sounds like my sort of thing! Will give it a go here.

I am a couple of episode's into Sneaky Pete on Amazon at minute, really enjoyable so far

The Stallion

Watched the first couple of episodes of Sneaky Pete but I thought it was terrible.

Up to date on a few series now.

Pretty little liars - Well acted intriguing storyline and one the Missus will like too very good!

Billions - After an OK first series it's really started to improve very good at the minute!

Line of Duty - Just keeps delivering excellent show!

Designated Survivor - Acting is a bit dodgy but it's a decent storyline so I'll finish it out anyway.

Girlboss- Again one the Missus likes its pretty funny and a less deep version of Girls.

Tony Baloney

Screen you really don't need to use the missus as an excuse for you watching a woman's programme. What you watch whilst your nails are drying is your own business.

Finished this last night. Great show.

Up The Middle

Just finished 13 reasons why, really recommend it.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Cannot recommend Wentworth highly enough. Just watched the first few episodes of Season 5 and it is class.

Ethan Tremblay

Watched 13 reasons why over the last 2 weekends after it was all over the news and Fbook and that, thought it was good show but some disturbing scenes in the last few episodes.  Is it marketed for teenagers/ young adults? 
I tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack...

Was wondering that myself, was it glamorising suicide to an extent? Last episode had one scene in particular that was very hard to watch.

Ethan Tremblay

I wouldn't have said glamorise it, and surely enough the issues in the show need talked about, but one father of a real life suicide victim hit the nail on the head by saying it would plant a seed in the minds of young adults and can be interpreted as a solution to issues many young people face.
