Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Just finished DEXTER the series. Any fans?
If you're into crime dramas with suspense, twists and turns. Really good watch. Streaming on Netflix in case you're looking for something to fill idle time during the holidays.
I watched a couple of seasons long ago, it was very interesting in the beginning but became a bit boring later on. Serial killer killing serial killers is pretty interesting concept. I wonder if there were any Q comms in it.
I am a fan. Currently catching Lincoln Lawyer the series on netflix. Was a Monk fan back in the day, but it kind of lost its appeal towards the end, I think they got tired.
On the other side of the pond there's Line of Duty, which is double-plus good. Also, Official Secrets
Also, I recenly found out that the well-memed Downfall drew heavily from David Irving's history of Hitler. He said very recently that that movie was mostly true, apart from some small details. So an interesting turn of events.
Wow, interesting that there is a movie based on this. I just started reading his Himmler book and even the beginning was quite eye opening. Cant wait to read the Hitler and Churchill books.
Yes, I have that movie on my re-watch list now.
I felt the same way about Monk near the end.
Loved Dexter for the first 5-6 seasons. Tied with Breaking Bad for best all time, but hated the way Dexter ended (like a lot of fans)...similar to Monk, steam rolling greatness but ran out of steam at the finish line. Whereas Breaking Bad just continually got better and better and ended at its pinnacle.
I've heard really good things about 'Line of Duty'. Can you share the premise without spoilers?
The premise is rooting out corruption in a Police force.
There are three main characters who develop their own understanding of the whole situation, and try to identify the head of the snake.
