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.

I agree it was far too slow but the fact I've nothing better to do on a Thursday night has made me stock with it. In fairness it's become infinitely more intriguing and crazy. I have a rough idea where I think it's going but very little of it makes sense. It could still turn out to be a crazed Sci Fi plot but at least some shit is happening now!!

Wolf Hall on BBC2 really is a classy piece of work. Period pieces normally aren't my thing, but the mix of history, intrigue and quality of the drama is mesmerising.

Thought Wolf Hall was superb and Mark Rylance was brilliant as Thomas Cromwell.

Canalman, Deadwood?! Get back on it, brilliant show

Banshee is still cooking, superb show

Any checked Backstrom ('Brilliant Detective, Total D1ck') ? Watched episode 1 last night and thought it was great craic

Im in the same boat with fortitude, i have watched i think 6 episodes of it now and im still not sure if i even like it or not.
the ending of the last episode was bizzare and gross in equal measure.

I don't even know which episode I am on. This isn't a spoiler but it is the one that showed the wee lad with the chopping board etc. I'm still unsure what the man and daughter are doing out in the wilderness. I'm sure all will be revealed at some stage  :-\

It was horrific and fascinating at the same time... very very disturbing!!

Been watching the  Reginald D Hunter series BBC 2.  Very interesting and it is probably still on the iplayer.

Great to hear. Have it taped.

Banshee S2 up next to watch. Hopefully as good as S1.

Stumbled upon that at the weekend and really enjoyed it.

The Walking Dead is hard to watch at the minute, talk about a borefest.

The latest episode of Better Call Saul (Ep. 6) was reminiscent of Breaking Bad at its best.

i watch both The Waking Dead and Banshee on a Monday night, and its night and day regarding action and story. Will give TWD one more episode
