Anyone see Kevin Bacon's The Following on tonight? Wasn't entirely enjoying it at the start (I'm a fan of Criminal Minds where the serial killers are caught within the hour) but I'll def tune in next wk. Pretty intriguing.

Yes saw it last night Rois. I enjoyed it. I made sure all the doors were locked before heading to bed
Just watched the first episode. Thought it was very good and something I will keep watching.

Though last nights episode was good as well.

Started The West Wing this weekend and really liking it. It's not any kind of gripping drama or anything, but the characters make you want to continue to watch them. Great show.

Top top show. The first 4 series are as good as you'll get anywhere. You like to think that's the way the White House is run but in all probablility it's not!

What's this Suits like? Might give it a watch if someone can post a link for streaming?

Aw Suits is class, I really enjoy it and glad Season 2 is back. Sorry, no streaming links. Not exactly for the high brow tv snob though...

Watched right up to the latest episode there. Class show. Harvey Spector is sum man!

Watched the pilot episode of a new show "the americans"
pretty good start, centers around a couple of kgb sleeper agents in the us at the beginning of the reagan years.

If you're interested in that sort of thing
There's an excellent French film, Farewell (L'affaire Farewell) (2009) http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/farewell_2010/ about a French engineer who was used as a go-between by a Soviet colonel to leak documents to the West, amongst which was a list of the entire Soviet spy network in the USA.
The French, Mitterrand, (regarded as commie by the Pentagon) then passed that info onto Reagan.
The basic facts of the story do hold water but of course it isn't wholly based on fact
As good as, or even better than Le Carre at his best.

That's great news and there's more good news, 12 episodes @ 55 minutes each episode, BBC4 will have 2 episodes back to back for 6 weeks.
It's going to be a long week in between.

They have, but I think it goes back as far as 2006 or 2007.
