We've just done The Killing (us version) as it was free on Virgin and have to say it was excellent.


GoT is good, I did three episodes then started again and was much happier and it just keeps getting better.

There's just a shed load of characters and setting and intrigue and working out who the bloody hell is who when you start, so the reset worked really well for me.

Thanks to Netflix I finally got aquainted with the US Office and have ploughed through the first 6 seasons. Very well written and Steve Carrells take on David Brent is sublime, an exuberant man-child. Its a tad more sympathetic than the Gervais original without surrendering to the american tendency for schmaltz...bugger all else on Netflix though barring Breaking Bad & Sons of Anarchy.

Husker, yes it is true. We watched the first episode and, while with a myriad of other boxsets we were totally hooked, with the Sops, neither my husband nor I had any interest in continuing to watch.


What are we missing? We didn't find it funny, gripping, interesting, thrilling, nothing. V disappointing.


24 on the other hand, we watched four episodes time after time. V lazy I know but loved it.

Sopranos is pure genius. You need to give it a chance.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
