Loving Person of Interest at the minute, soime cracking music at the end of each episode too.
Great show, 5 having a mid season break is annoying though-

Making my way through ESPN 30 for 30 at the mo,

So far I've seen Terry Fox, The U, Marion Jones, June 17th 94, Boston Redsox world series win. Brilliant Stuff.

Going to throw on the Two Escobars this morning, 2 hrs long supposedly!

The final Thick of it was brilliant last night, Glen's resignation rant was a joy. Peter Capaldi should win every acting gong going for his performances in the final two episodes.

They are as good as you will see when it comes to documentaries, sports or otherwise. They are just starting another series of them in the US. The Two Escobars is one of the best.

30 for 30 is a brilliant strand. The second documentary in the new series called '9.79' was actually a BBC documentary aired before the Olympics about the 1988 Seoul Olympics 100m sprint final as 'The Race That Shocked the World'. It's an absolutely excellent documentary but hopefully 30 for 30 don't rely on secondary sources often as what they've been doing is wonderful.

They also have a series of 30 for 30 shorts on the ESPN website: http://espn.go.com/30for30/shorts

The first ep of season 3 is a gore fest anyways! Some about of Zombie head bursting in it!

Watched it last night! Deadly show. Total gore fest and a good storyline.

Just watched episode 4 of season 3.
The best episode yet of any of the seasons IMO.
Don't want to give anything away but I was absolutely speechless at the end,couldn't believe the ending of the episode.
Brilliant TV but also quite harrowing.

Reminds me (at least in terms of general tropes) of Journeyman.  Kevin McKidd as a San Francisco reporter who's involuntarily traveling through time. It's basically a more serious Quantum Leap. It only lasted one series and I enjoyed what I saw of it, I really should go back and watch it end-to-end.

And to be perfectly honest Continuum reminds me most of Power Rangers Time Force. There, I said it.  :-X

I liked Journeyman, another one of the shows I watched that was cancelled.  Since that show ended, Flash Forward, Alcatraz and The Event have all got the boot.
