Anybody watching Lucky Man?? I'm actually quite enjoying it even though Jimmy Nesbitt's in it.

Madam Secretary is starting to come into its own a bit as well I thought it was a poor man's West Wing but I'm really liking this season.

Also with a lack of shows at the minute I've started watching the West Wing again . . . fantastic television!!

Billions,  Limitless,  Vikings,  11.22.63, Trapped,  Blacklist all running at the minute,  all good Screen if you haven't already dipped
Is Limitless any good?  I enjoyed the film.

it's a good show, not top bracket though LL. You enjoy The Walking Dead, I'd near enough given up on it, but that 1st episode a few weeks back after the mid season break, sweet jesus !
Was a great episode alright. That scene was unreal. You'll know the one I mean.

Walking Dead is good but not top bracket either.

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

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.

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!

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

On series 5 of Dexter. Enjoying it

Anyone else watching?
