Really enjoyed Season 2 of Houses of Cards (expect the Meechum scene - u know it when you see it $:-\$ ) Kevin Spacey is a brilliant actor.

Just started True Detective seems very good as well!

Watched Episode 6 of True Detective, unbelievable. Can't wait for the next two so have them on disc here for tonight. Noticed Dion Dublin there, uncanny resemblence.

I can tell you how it ends if you want?

Finished Breaking Bad. Was quite good but not as I was expected tbh. Doesn't come anywhere near The Sopranos for me but still a good show. Was delighted for Jesse, poor b**tard

But seriously, some of the most annoying characters in the history of television. Marie is annoying, Walt Jr is a dick but thon Skylar is the most hateful hoor. I know its only a TV character but jesus christ, I hated her. Considered turning it off many times because of her but stuck with it. Hard going though

Big Huell was a good character, should have been more of him

would agree with this, it was good but I cant understand all the talk of it being better than the sopranos which imo it the best tv ever made. you couldn't like walt junior and skylar if you raised them yourself.

I knew it when I saw him heading into the billiard room with the lead pipe.

While I think the show is excellent, having read the books I just can't get excited about it knowing what's going to happen.

Finished True Detective last night, unbelievable show. Harrelson and McConaghey were brilliant throughout.

Halfway through S3 of Game of Thrones. Finding it hardish to keep up with all the characters in it though. Really need your wits about you imo to watch it. Intend reading the books after this.

Yeah thats the only drawback for me. Perhaps too many characters and when you think your understanding them it moves on to someone entirely different.

Same here, very hard to remember all the Kingdoms/lands and current characters as well as ones that were from the past such as the Tagaerean dynasty etc.

Anyone watched XIII or Believe?

I read somewhere that there are over 1000 named characters in the books at this point.

You should have done that in school! Way too late for you now.

Finally finished breaking bad. Very happy with how it ended. I think everything got wrapped up nicely apart from what happens next for Jesse. I wanted a little more closure there. All in all a fantastic series and up there in my top 5 tv shows.
Homeland hasn't made it on to Netflix USA unfortunately but hope to start that next.
