    So, I've finally gotten round to watching The Sopranos and watched the first episode last night. Thoroughly looking forward to the long haul.

    First season is tough but it comes inot it's own eventually.

    The Gay Penguins episde is class.

    Rallied through Orange is the New Black on Netflix over the weekend.
    Absolutely brilliant show with some class characters. The addition of Taylor Schilling is an obvious bonus.
    Episodes 11, 12 and 13 tonight and then I’ve nothing left to view. 

    Back to Breaking Bad I guess.

    Halfway through series 2 of Love/Hate. What is up with Mayor Carcetti's accent?

    I'm really looking forward to Breaking Bad next week.......predictions for the series?

    SPOILER: So hard to predict Breaking Bad. Just have to hope they can maintain the brilliance and provide a satisfactory conclusion. Have a feeling Walt will die alone, having been responsible, either directly or indirectly, for the death of his family, the very thing he set out to protect in the first place.

    Oh and Hank to have an Elvis moment on the jax!


    Spoiler tags don't seem to work. Don't think I'm giving too much away.

    Probably way behind the curve, but half way through season 2 of Hell on Wheels, after just finishing season 1. Pretty good fair too.

    Really struggling with season 3 of Breaking Bad tbh. I assume it's worth persisting with, but it is a bit of struggle half way through S3.
    Started looking at Breaking Bad due to some good recommendations from a few friends. Have to say the first two series were excellent, with great acting and really great TV, but just finished series 3 and like Macy am scratching my head at how silly it got. The Fly episode was a non story and there are way too many stupid coincidences. But many here told Macy to stick with it so i will soldier on - unlike Lost, The Walking Dead and Homeland where I gave up after a while. Better be right, as it takes a good while to go through a series!

    Definitely picks up in season 4 and carries on into season 5. Great that the new episodes will be on Netflix the Monday after they first air in the US.

    Just finished the first season last night. It's utterly fantastic. Great show so far. I might even have found it more engaging than what I've watched of The Wire.[/sacrilege]

    Really ? I thought the show came into it's own at the end of season 3. Superb last couple of episodes. Viewed over the whole 5 series it's been steadily building with a growing inevitability to the point we're at now, with two episodes left(for me - some might already have seen last nights). It's not the Wire, but it's damn good, and light years ahead of most of what's on the Box.

    I've started watching House of Cards on Netflix, up to episode 6. It's good, almost the anti West Wing. (I did like the West Wing, don't get me wrong.)

    Yes but I think the first two seasons were so good, that i felt season three had some filler, still good but....
    Anyway how is the last season so far, without spoiling it, any good?

    The last few episodes have been brilliant. The Ozymandias episode, which was last week's, is outstanding. Last night's episode just slowed things down a bit and set up what should be a truly epic finale. Hopefully it won't feel too rushed, there's a lot to be tied up, so far the show has kept surprising people and there's bound to be at least one more big twist, I just hope they can end it in a satisfying way.

    Some outstanding sitcoms about at the minute. Sky Atlantic has the second series of the brilliant Veep, and Stephen Merchant's cringingly good Hello Ladies, both on tonight. Really liked Mitchell & Webb's political satire The Ambassadors which is just over. Haven't got around to starting on Man Down yet (but I see it's already been commissioned for a second run). Or Drifters. Or Yonderland, from the Horrible Histories cast, all nicely stacking up on the Plus.
    Pick of the bunch though is Toast Of London on Channel 4 Sunday nights. Insanely brilliant. Matt Berry in increasingly ridiculous situations, brilliant character names (Clem Fandango, Kikini Bamalaam), the most awful puns ("he changed his name to Chris Bread" "Crispbread?"), and suddenly turning into a musical each episode for no adequately explained reason. Four shows down, hopefully two more at least to catch before the run ends, well worth it if you do!

    I quite enjoyed this. All three episodes still on RTEs player for another while for anyone who missed it. BBC 2'll be showing it later this month as well apparently. It's caused quite a wee s**t-storm with a good many Poles who've objected to the depiction of the Polish Partisans as being as anti-Semetic as the Germans.

    I thought the title 'Generation War' a little silly just. In German it's known as 'Our Mothers, Our Fathers' which would've done fine.

    Finished up Breaking Bad over the weekend. Absolutely brilliant TV. The last 8 episodes are up there with any piece of TV made in my opinion.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    The best part about finishing Breaking Bad is knowing that the spoilers are not an issue anymore.
