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.

    • A friend has asked me to recommend Juliene for regular cleaning as she has some slots available. Her phone number is 07751426567
    • I'd put short odds on that but who would be his likely successor?
    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
