Have to say I really enjoyed Eastenders this week. To pull off all those live episodes with only a few hitches is pretty amazing. The central story was gripping too, with a good ending as well. People like to piss on the soaps when they do something stupid but never acknowledge a job well done.

Fortitude finally sparked into life in Episode 4.

Verdict on the new House of Cards? Have seen first two episode and looks good.

Just finished episode 2 a few mins ago. Was looking like it was moving into straight West Wing territory but seems to be picking up now.

Banshee is really rocking at the minute. Episode 5 of Season 3 last night. Brilliant stuff, got 9.4 on IMDb

Just watched Ep 8. Lots going on.Nearly quit during S2 but glad now I hung in there

Not watching it all in 2 days this year.

Just finished S3 E4 and it is moving along nicely.

The Russian State Visit was brilliant, if quite not your normal House of Cards stuff.

Recently binned Fortitude. Just finished Dexter at the weekend there, unbelievable show. Never liked a character as much as Dexter.

Finished HOC. Overall a bit meh I felt after a promising start. Everything in the Underwood administration has already been done better by the Bartlett one!

Starting Series 2 of "The Fall" tonight. Good show so far, few spots are predictable, very weird to think of Serial Killing in Belfast for some reason.

You'd still take Gillian Anderson out for a drink, like.

S01 of the fall was very good, watched 2 eps of s02 and thought it was so slow i genuinely couldnt watch anymore, i think people give it a bye ball because it is filmed and set in belfast.

Been watching Better call Saul, really enjoying it, building the characters up well and not just draining storylines off Breaking Bad which many thought would happen.

Finished s2 of Hannibal last week. A bit underwhelming tbh.

Watched first few episodes of Penny Dreadful at the weekend and very watchable so far. By far and away (pun intended) has the worst "Irish" accent in it I have ever heard. Even worst than the Sons of Anarchy ones which is saying something.

cockahoop · March 09, 2015, 10:23:12 AM

Is it just me? but after all the Hype Fortitude got i have to say its the biggest pile of shite i ever watched!!

nrico2006 · March 09, 2015, 10:28:48 AM

I have a bad habit of sticking with shows once starting them, but Fortitude was the first I have ever pulled the plug on, think it was after episode 4. I heard that the last two have been better but still won't be going back to it. On another note, Better Call Saul has been brilliant.

Likewise. The only two series I can remember pulling the plug early on were Treme and Deadwood (people still rave about it but just couldn't get into it)

Will be finishing Penny Dreadful S1 tonight and it has been excellent so far. Not one usually to notice brilliant acting but with one or two exceptions the acting in it is very good. Very little mumbling bar the "Irish" character in it.
