I've only seen clips, which didn't encourage me to watch it. A bit too old-skool britcom for my liking. This was interesting though.
something that seems to be getting a lot of love, now it's been cancelled after the first season, is terriers.
There's a whole load of HBO series starting from the beginning on this new Sky Atlantic channel next week . The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Boardwalk Empire amongst them. I'd definitely recommend watching Boardwalk Empire.
Been watching the Danish show "Forbrydelsen" (The killing) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0826760/ good show, Apparently FOX have just shot a english lanuage version
The wire but it over
Breaking Bad is the best show on telly at the moment. Its on Fiver USA or Fx Sunday nights 12.15.repeat
Wednesday 10.00pm season 1 already started. There has alredy been 3 series there it the proccess of making another. It has 1 loads of Emmys.
Its about this guy and his family. he has terminal cancer and thinks hes going to die. He works as a chemistry teacher so decides to start cooking crystal meth in order to make money to leave a nest egg for his family. The guy is Hall from malcom in the middle the goofy guy he is class in this.
Yeah I've seen season 1 & 2 excellent show. Bryan Cranston is greatQuote:

shameless usa a good show and very watchable .. but disagree ,, uk version is way better..Quote:

US Frank is a lot less appealing too
Finished Treme over the weekend. Really affecting ending to the season.
Started "The Corner" last night, looks excellent too so far.
Everyone seems to be talking about Breaking Bad lately. Must watch it. I just started getting into Mad Men and although it's slow moving at the beginning, a few episodes in and I was hooked
Breaking Bad is nearly as good as the Sopranos and the Wire. That's how highly I rate it.Quote:

yeah, he wears it in the next episode as well
I kinda feel horrible, but I'm beginning to really enjoy Aircrash Investigations, can't mind what channel it's on. It's a pretty morbid thing to be watching but definitely enjoyable. To save yourselves the hour, it's predominately ALWAYS pilot error that caused the crash!:p
I know the feeling. I think it's on Discovery Science or one of those doc. channels. I remember one bats**t crazy episode where the front windscreen flew off, the pilot was half ejected and would have been long gone if the crew didn't grab onto his legs.Quote:

Started watching Bob's Burgers there the other night over on 4od. Really really enjoyed it. Some funny stuff there. Not wanting to go into hyperbole by comparing it to other shows but needless to say it's easily the better of FamClevelandDad.And as good as mind run Futurama. Long way to go to hit the highs of South Park and the Simpsons obviously. Will sit tight and watch.
Gene and Louise as characters are wonderfully insane.
Watched the last episode of the new series of Skins. Started off badly, then improved, and finished somewhere in between. Safe to say it's the worst series of the show so far, but still better than most other series on TV.
Watched the first episode of the US version of the show. There's 40 minutes of my life I'll never get back. The US version of Shameless is far superior as an interpretation.
One good thing to come out of my free time during the week is discovering 2 good shows.
Billy the Exterminator on Bio Channel about a pest exterminator in Louisiana and Pawn Stars on History channel.
Both are harmless fluff but none the less addictive viewing.
just wait til Storage Wars hits your screens...

Dexter or Generation Kill (or both) next up I think.
Could never get into Dexter. Tried, and it seems like something that'd appeal to me, but for some reason I just didn't like it
The Killing (Danish version). BUY IT NOW. Just finished it after watching 10 episodes in a week....
Think the american remake started last night.Quote:

Bbc4 seem to have started with some french thing now - anyone an opinion on it?
Would also like, once again, to mention justified. Seems to have really found it's feet now, in second season. Think Walter Goggins as Boyd is brilliant.
Yep American version did start last night on AMC. It has got good reviews so far. I just hope they have a different killer so I can watch it!
It really is worth buying if you cannot download it. Once you get to episode 3 or 4 you are addicted.
Spiral is the french drama you mention. BBC4 is on series 3 now so I'll probably get it on dvd. It has got decent reviews.
Missed the 1st two episodes put saw from episode 3 on, then missed the last two due to work and some fault with my DVD R that didn't record it for some reason. Anyone know where I can down land last two episodes
Just watched the first episode of the AMC version, and I'm kind of unerwhelmed, but I'm sure it'll go on to be a great series. I haven't seen the original but I'm gonna track it down before I watch anymore of the AMC version, the European original versions are always better (Let me in, Insomnia etc,)Quote:

Season 2 of Treme starts this weekend in the US, I think.
It's unnatural to wait a week to watch a next episode, so I think I'll wait until theres a batch of series 2 episodes available.
I caught up with Blue Murder, an Australian oldie from 1995. Only 2 parts, total length 3 hours 20 mins. It's superb stuff. If you have seen an episode or two of Underbelly ('Neighbours' with guns) then some of the story will be familiar, but this is the drama which tells the story - stripped of soap, understated and served icy chilled.
It might be hard to find but it is available.
Finnish crime drama called Raid (2000), is a classic of a different kind. Black humour by the barrow load that had me in stitches but also a good crime investigation and a top level state conspiracy thrown in.
Includes the line 'will they swallow, if we say we did it for the good the nation?"
To get back on the comedy I can't recommend Bob's Burgers enough. Currently on E4 and on 4OD. And started on 3E last week.
I'd agree with that, but quicker to acquire them week to week, in my experience.Quote:

I've just started the second book Tets & I'm really enjoying the novels. The first book is about 800 pages and even with 10 hours of tv they still have to miss bits out but on the whole they've done a good job. A few people in my office who haven't read the books are struggling with it but press wise it has been getting rave reviews.
Has anyone started watching Season 7 of Deadliest Catch yet? verdict? Normally I like to watch a couple episodes back to back, so leaving it for a few weeks yet before I get into it.
Just caught up to date with Justified. Excellent show which I'd definitely recommend.Quote:

Just started watching the wire (probably about a decade after everyone else) it's really good, I can't recommend it enough. If you like the Shield or Oz, you'll really like it, it's better than the former and as good as the latter.
