Excellent programme. John Turturro steals every scene

And he was only 3rd choice to play the role. James Gandolfini developed the project for himself but sadly passed so Robert De Niro was going to step in instead but couldn't work out scheduling problems.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia, really does make me laugh. Slowly chugging my way through thirteen series.

Absolutely love it. The episode where Mac does the interpretive dance is one of the best bits of tv I’ve ever seen too (never thought I’d say that about interpretive dance!)

Didn't know that. Not sure either would have worked as well. Turturro is an underrated actor

I read that after watching, weird to imagine. Neither JG or RDN has that 'geeky' quality that JT has, and IMHO it added to his character so much

Perry Mason was excellent, Quarry (Sky Atlantic) as I’m a sucker for anything set in the seventies and The Boys (Amazon Prime) which is funny as fuck.

I shall be binge watching something tonight just to take my mind off things.

Enjoyed Quarry a lot. Pity they never made a 2nd series

Thanks will try Succession as I’ve seen all the classics

Give Babylon Berlin a look too, is very good.

Berlin pre WW11. Worth a look.

Yeah Quarry was good. Jodi Balfour was easy on the eye

Finished The Fall last night. Season 3 was a complete waste of time apart from the final episode.

Totally agree!
Just finished 'safe' very good, but very,very samey in parts to 'the stranger'
First episode of the Sinner last night....quite weird !!

Excellent programme. John Turturro steals every scene

Thanks for the recommendation. I recently got hold of this series on DVD and will prioritise watching it soon.

Speaking of the classics, seen the Shield?

I'm on S6 just now, never made it this far before. Back when it was out i got to about s3, when it was current and no more was available. Never resumed until just recently.

Forgot how good it was, and it got even better with s4 and 5 being great, some really good tv.

It has also aged surprisingly well.

Brilliant series, just finished series 5 myself.
Great characters in it, good storylines, really well acted.
