Finished The Killing last night. It was alright, rather than brilliant. Contrary to what I'd said earlier, it seemed to wrap up very quickly, like they ran out of story.
Is it still worth getting hold of the Danish original, or will it be ruined by watching the US one?
Yeah its worth getting the Danish version a lot of it is the same but there is also a lot more (not surprising when the danish season 1 had 20 episodes and the us only 13) you also get to see who done it. Season 2 of the Danish version starts on Nov 19 on BBC4, a complete new case so should be ok to watch without having watched season 1Quote:

Romanzo Criminale - the tv series. Really enjoying it (on sky at the moment). If you like your crime shows set in the 70s, a bit of violence and babes then watch it!
Walking dead series 2 is a bit of a disappointment so far. I really enjoyed the first one.

Also i thought the first series faded away dramatically in quality as the episodes went on...But I'm really enjoying the new series.
FAO any Shane Meadows fans. "This is England 88" starts on C4 On Dec 13th. A 3 part series which pick up the story 18 months after the last installment "This is England 86".

Also looking at Gold Rush Alaska - jeez will they ever find any gold
the next entry in the Spartacus series is called Spartacus: Vengeance and will start in the new year.
Here's a trailer
(warning: NSFW)
Looks to continue the tradition of blood, nudity, Shakespearean dialogue, blood, cockney rhyming slang, sex, blood and blood.
season 2 of Shameless (US) started last Monday. Love it. Great adaptation of the original.
The things i would do to Emmy Rossum by the way, christ.
Anyone watching Raw on RTÉ? Never been a fan of Irish shows as such, but this is pretty damn good I must admit.
Yeah I've watched it from the start. That and Love/Hate are RTE's best ever shows imo.Quote:

Love/ Hate series 2 is well worth watching. It'd be my personal pick for the best RTE Drama so far (just confirmed for a 3rd series actually). Apparently, they're marketing series 1 & 2 together as season 1 for foreign TV channels. Raw started ok, got boring and too soap opera, but it seems a back on form this series actually. Not that I really have a choice whether to watch it or not.Quote:

I've done that quite a bit. Hate waiting for new episodes when I really get into something!Quote:
