The People v OJ is a great watch (presumably for people of a certain age who 'lived' it). Stellar cast as well.

Have also got into Justified, wouldn't be my normal cup of tea but i'm really enjoying it, just about to start S4.

The Night Manager on BBC1 is superb, a good old fashioned espionagey type story.

Thea Night Manager is superb. Really enjoying it.

Yep agree 100 % Hugh Laurie is excellent in it

Liking OJ myself, as you say stella cast but the acting is slightly.... Oh I don't know bit slow?? Don't know how to describe it, but its a good show, well hooked, even though you know the ending
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Really? Though I'm watching it and will continue to do so I find it simply distracting fluff. It started pretty well but now it's just a poor man's Bond set in glamorous exotic settings. It's totally
unbelievable and most of the characters are one dimensional versions of something we've seen a
hundred times before. I think it's just popcorn TV.

Not doing it for me either at present although I am an episode behind. Good cast and high production values though.

Quite enjoying The Night Manager. 

Have the last episode of Trapped to watch tonight.  It's on the BBC iplayer.  Icelandic 10 part crime drama,  superb show!

  Saw the Aidan O'Shea programme there about the American football. Very good and have to say he comes across very well .

Aye it was good. He just didn't have quick enough feet. He scored on the weather though!

The Walking Dead has been very good since its return.
Some of the scenes have been brutal. The last episode was excellent.

It has been brilliant since its return, really upped the pace.

Been trying to go through Making a Murderer the past while, me and the woman watched the first episode and a bit of the second but hard to motivate myself to watch it again.  Heard it was a slow burner though so will stick with it.

Yeah you need to give it about four episodes before it gets decent.

Walking dead is the only show at the minute that i have to watch when it is on or it gets ruined the next day by people talking about it.  Cant wait for game of thrones in April

Season 2 and 4 were the best for me, the historical element to four was great.

Loved Dexter, thought it a very well thought out show. Slice of Life, what a boat lol

Almost finished the first season Of Friday Night lights and have been pleasantly surprised by how good it it.
One of the most enjoyable TV series I have watched, some great characters and really well put together.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Watched the first episode of 11.22.63 last night.
Enjoyed it and will stick with it. Are all the episodes 80mins long though?
