His brother the hotel owner is dodgy I think! Dying to see how it pans out.

Homeland class this series.

It seems too obvious to be the hotel owners hubby, I said from last week that theres just something not right with your man Flemyng's character.

I did think there was something not quite right about Mark though he slightly redeemed himself last night.

What about Sylvie? Thats the sobriety coin and it wasnt Alain who kept them it was her!

Good point - never thought of it like that.  Just think it is too straight forward for it to be one of them.  There has to be linkage with some other party.  Or could Nesbitt be aware of someone else who would have a coin i.e. is sober that hasn't been explicitly mentioned.

Has anyone watched Braquo?
http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2012/jun/14/your-next-box-set-braquo

Yep, I've watched Braquo, very good......

I watched ep1 last night and it was very good. It's hard not to compare the storyline/genre to Vic and the The Shield.
But on first impression, the Paris wild bunch tick all the boxes.

Following on with Braquo, it loses its way with me after episode 6  S1.
Season 2 doesn't pick up at all. just gets progressively overdosed with typecast baddies and the anti-hero goodies.
The Shield is not seriously threatened by this drama at all.

In fairness to The Fall, that was a very good episode tonight. He's a creepy flecker! Not much dialogue again!

Aye was alright but I've never seen a black police officer before in Belfast nor do Belfast people speak so slow!!!!!!

[Jeepers Creepers]

Actors required for TV show The Fall, no experience required so there isn't! Why's May McFetriidge not in it?

The Loyalist fella with the abused wife is the worst actor I have seen, cringe sometimes when I see actors trying to really stress the NI accent on TV.

Lads started breaking bad, up to start of series 3 now. f**k it's disappointing though, like it's just f**king really poor at times. I don't give a f**k about your whiny wife, her bitch sister or your man's relationship with his addict women expect when she's half naked. Just cook meth, talk to Saul and f**k up drug deals, that's all I want to see. Watching him install a new f**king boiler or strip wood worm, sure I could f**king do that myself. I'm fed up with it beyond belief, only the rave reviews have kept me going so far and even if these last few seasons blow it out of the water there's no way I could deny that these 2 seasons are distinctly below average. It's all been downhill since they melted yer man. Also the season 2 finale, what the f**king fcuk? After all that show-starting shite about the pink teddy and that's your explanation at the end of it? Joke.

Add in the fact that Whitman is a complete f**king bell-end and I watch the show praying that he dies in the following scene but dismayed by the knowledge that there's another 40 f**king episodes before that happens I just don't know what to do. I mean Lost was a hugely, hugely flawed and frustrating at times piece of TV at times but by f**k it was on average twice as enthralling as this.

+1, that's where I'm at also. Just about to start season 4 which I've been assured is where it really starts to get good. I'm not convinced but I'll probably persist for a while longer.

Only finished Breaking Bad at the weekend and I suppose I had it set up to be something out of this world, maybe I had set my expectation level too high.  But I do think it was brilliant and season 2's ending was not how I thought it would be either, for some reason I had imagined an attack at WWs house and could never have predicted the plane crash.  Season 2 to 5 were very good but theere were times when I felt it was dragged out a bit.

Most series can get bogged down for a while developing some of the other characters. Breaking Bad's fringe characters were sometimes on the annoying side. But the genre these days seems to be of the anti-hero. Not just flawed but often despicable, e.g. WW, Frank Underwood (House of Cards).

Still watching The Killing at the moment and even though we are really enjoying it, there have been entire episodes on fringe characters that just wasted time. Have to say I enjoy the character Holder.
