Quality episode of Peaky Blunders tonight lads!!!

Class start to the season. Trouble is have to wait a week to next.

Captain Obvious

Have watched all 10 episodes of Mr. Mercedes. A decent watch with a interesting end to the series.  The portrayal of a psychopath by Harry Treadaway was probably the best i have seen since Javier Bardem in no country for old men.  I read recently Treadaway only took over the leading role after the death of Anton Yelchin.

I'd second that, probably more memorable because it was such a departure from his other roles, the first time I watched it I was transfixed by him. Fantastic Film.

100%, I was disappointed with him in Bond as I thought he would just do a repeat performance and become the best bond baddie of all time.

Sexy Beast - great picture! Kingsley's character was 1 seriously scarey man, when he went off on a rant. He probably didn't actually have to get violent, you knew that he meant every single word of it & would back it up with action, if required to.

Joe Pesci in Goodfellas was a proper time bomb?

Good call with Joe Pesci

John Lithgoe in Dexter has to get an honourable mention as well!!

Some departure from Shrek/3rd Rock and Harry and the Hendersons!

Been watching Billions recently on recommendation of a few friends. Decent.

Yet not that far away from the memorable badie role he had in Cliffhanger

Ethan Tremblay

John Litgoe was brilliant in Dexter.  On the topic of TV Recommendations, Dexter Season 4 is one of the best season's iv'e watched of any show.
