It's between seasons in Ireland at the moment. I think you'll see season 2 some time next year.

You can get season 2 in region 1 encoding if you've a regionless player. I'm sure that's what you meant. :)

Whats people views on The Sheild, have been considering getting it. How does it compare to The Wire?

Very different. Watched the first series of the Shield & very in your face. The Wire by comparison slow & methodical.
JUst finishing the box set of Season 4 of the Wire. I think it is the best season so far. Have Season 5 lined up ready and waiting.
I was thinking of getting The Corner on DVD next. Has anyone seen it and what did they think of it.

Just watched the pilot episode of the shield online. Good show but wasn't overly impressed. Does it get better?
Finished season 3 of Battlestar Galacitia last night. Another great season, season 4 is on its way to me along with Season 1 of The Sheild. Battlestar is the best TV show after The Wire, Oz and Sopranos IMO.

I watched the first series months ago & I haven't continued yet. Lot of shaky camera stuff. That said there were 7 series so can't be too bad.

The shield is a great show, series 7 has just ended over here and it was a great final series
Anybody watching Crash with Dennis Hopper?

A programme I'm splitting my sides at atm is Outnumbered with Hugh Dennis, the kids in it are soo funny (They have by far the best lines) and they make a brilliant comedy of a clichéd topic (Dysfunctional family) it's on BBC1 at 10 past 9 in the evenings and it's well worth a look
Just watched Season 1 of Dexter , It's brilliant
Just finished watching series 3. Ending was not up the high standards of series 2 or 3.
I posted in the first post about The US Office, now in seson 5 its still capable of perfect comedy. The youtube clip is the opening scene from episode 13. I challenge anybody to find anything funnier on TV

I agree after so many episodes the quality is top notch.

Got "The thick of it" and "The Corner" for recent birthday presents.
The Thick of it is Armando Iannucci's take on the behind the scences going-on in politics very good kinda like mixing the office and yes minister.
The corner was The Wire's writter David Simon's next move after Homcide: Life on the streets and is what gave him and Robert F. Colesberry the idea for the Wire. Only watched one episode so far will let you know how it plays out

The corner is very depressing Neish. Good to see members of the Wire cast playing junkies though - especially Freamon! I'm reading the book as well at the moment and it's worth checking out. 628 pages so it's going to keep me busy!

The Thick of it is brilliantly funny
"Do you know what its like to clean up your mother's p*ss?"
I near choked with laughter watching it...some very creative swearing and insults...excellent!

Ianucci's stuff seems to be underrated for the most part. I adored Time Trumpet - a sort of pop retrospective, but set in the future. My favourite scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj7Y76d578Q

One of my personal favourite retro programs of the 90s was Beverly Hills Bordello!
As a young man I always found it worth staying up until 1 am to watch it. I must pick it the blu-ray special addition with commentary. Much better than the overrated, arty Red shoes diary.
Bless Bravo.

Just finished this yesterday, another great show from HBO, a bit depressing at times but its a story about heroin addicts and drug dealers so it not the lightest subject. Really like the interview with the real peopel at the end.
Dexter season 2 up next missed the first episode of series 2 it on ITV and been dying to see it since

Second series was not half as good as the first.
Breaking Bad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad) is my current top show.

I missed the first season of Breaking Bad, so I'm not gonna watch this season until I've watched the first,of which the Dvd release keeps getting delayed and put off. Have heard great things about it though.(thanks for the edit with the clip)
Just finished Season 2 of Dexter, excellent viewing even better than season 1.
My sister lent me Season1 of both Weeds & 30 Rock Anyone else see either/both of these,what they like?

30 Rock is a decent comedy. Weeds has a good reputation, but I've never seen it.

Only seen bits of Weeds.
30 Rock is very good.

Weeds is brilliant, new season starting next week, Burn Notice back next week too, plus a new show called Royal Pains which may be good(everything on USA Network is good).:)

Got a loan of Sate of Play from a friend after him chatting about it for a few years, watched 3 episodes so far and really enjoying it. One of the best British drams series I've seen.
Series 7 of the sheild next not sure then after that. Thinking about True blood? Anyone here seen it?,any good? Its HBO so should be decent at least. Read somewhere(think it was on here actually) that TG4 were screening it somtime this year any truth in this?

true blood is very good. Into the 2nd series now.
I found the first series a bit crap to be honest but i stuck with it and glad i did, it was just developing the characters that made it drag a bit.
I would recommend it Neish.

Best British drama series ever - "Our Friends in the North". Superb stuff. Second only to "The Wire" as my favourite drama series ever. Also Alan Bleasdales "GBH" was quality.

True blood improves them Stu? I've jsut watched episode 3 of the 1st series and I don't know what the fuss is all about. Mild vampire porn is my best description!

01/09/2009, 6:14 PM
Stu was right. True Blood does improve. It takes 4 or 5 episodes before it clicks into place but worth the wait. Sookie (Anna Paquin) is a babe and another positive!
Got into Heroes lately. Watched the first 2 episode when it originally screened on bbc and didn't like it but got the box set now and am enjoying it

Ideally one likes to be made laugh while watching Comedy. I am glad to report this has been the case for me while watching the current series of Peep Show.
Not a classic series by any means but last Nights episode included a few scenes which were very very funny.

Peep Show is very hit and miss for me,at times it can be very funny other times its pretty poor.
