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.

    • Like I said, the measure is needed but its badly thought through  Most people who become or are disabled don't choose it (i certainly didn't)  and often want to work but being disabled often adds costs to daily living so PIP is a valuable life line and carers are often taking strain of community support services so we can't begrudge their modest allowance.  I'm simply advocating that the vote on Tuesday is withdrawn until its properly consulted on and thought through.  Out of curiosity Angelina and Alice are either of you disabled or are you posting from a privileged point of view in life??  
    • Hi Marc   Could I message you too? I'm becoming so frustrated. The last straw is the lack of working barriers, for months now, that they didn't bother to sort before summer now leading to mega queues. So foreseeable.
    • It isn't a blanket removal of support though is it. It's changing the criteria, so that those who need the support get it and those who need other support get that.      
    • There is a continuum of needs, so I think referring to everybody who claims PIP atm as the ‘most vulnerable’ in society is highly misleading.
