Has anybody watched Treme? The series that Eric Overmyers and David Simon created after The Wire. It's set in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Just wondered how it matched up in comparison to The Wire.

Suits is a fantastic show. Really enjoying the 2nd season so far. Some brilliant characters in it. I`m in love with Donna

But Donna's been fired!!

Suits season finale the other night. Great show and a few nice women to look at in it as well. Cant wait for season 3 now.

Started watching West Wing, nearly finished season 1. Seems like a good show so far. It will keep me busy for a while now.

I thought it got worse and worse - different strokes I s'pose.

I think it suffered when Sorkin stopped writing.

Every show has a tipping point and even the best like The Wire and The Sopranos experience peaks and troughs and ultimately many are just dung by the time they get pulled.

Breaking Bad.

End of Season 4.

The scene with Salamanca, the DEA and the bell was genius!

Finished Borgen.Excellent.Sagged a little in the middle but last 3 episodes were brilliant.Must see for anyone with an interest in politics. Way better than the Killing.

Agreed, best of the Scandinavian TV series so far.

Nah, it's mainstream, it just fills in the time nicely while waiting for the real thing.
Not a bad effort from the plucky Danes, but they do have delusions about their importance in the scheme of world affairs, I suppose that comes from their old empire aspirations and royalty obsessions.
