Yip, but this new one is officially Season 3 (War of the Damned).

But in between Season 1 (Blood and Sand) and Season 2 (Vengeance), while the main star was ill (and subsequently died) they did another mini series (Gods of the Arena) which was a prequel to Season 1.

They made Gods of the Arena as the prequel.

I'm looking forward to the new series. I'm glad they're bringing it all to a conclusion though.

Just going to start watching House of Cards - anyone seen it yet?

Watched the first 4 episodes of Utopia last night. I like it!!

Just finished episode two last night, definitely a very impressive mini-series. The assassin played the lead in Kill List (also as an assassin) and the police detective in episode one played his best friend in Kill List, clearly the creators are fans of the film.

Channel 4 have been building up quite a good reputation for scripted drama lately - Misfits' slide aside - and I finally got around to watched the first episode of The Fear a few nights ago. One of the best crime dramas I've seen in a long time.

Like Utopia it's brave with its framing and use the 2:35:1 cinematic ratio and in both cases it's a complete success.

Well, if anyones interested, after 2 episodes I'd definitely recommend. Kevin Spacey is excellent in the lead role.

Where are you watching this. I saw the first 3 episodes but missed the final one. It wasn't on 4 OD at the time.

Person of Interest is very good so far.

[Canalman]

Half way through S1 of Borgen and have to say I am pleasantly surprised. Very good so far and I have the 2nd season taped as well.

[Newbridge Exile]

Person of Interest is very good so far.

It gets better too, black mirror last night was good too, ( creepy though)

Over half-way through a French series called 'Les Revenants' (Ghosts) - I'm really enjoying it.  It's set in a small mountainous village - people who have been dead (ranging in time from 2-35 years ago) start coming back to life.  There's no zombie stuff going on; just folk who have passed on, usually by violent/sudden death, just wander back into the village the same as the day they died.  However, time has passed, and though their partners/families/friends are freaked out initially, and eventually glad to have their loved ones back in their lives, problems start to happen.  A twin sister arrives back aged 13; her twin is now 16 and not really able to cope mentally with this.  A man who has died on the day he was supposed to be married arrives back to find that his partner is now in another relationship and about to get married again.  And so on; it's really about how people cope when they find that someone whose loss has devastated their lives, is now back in their life as if nothing has happened - but it has, they have gone through the loss, and all is different.  Oh, and something creepy is happening in the reservoir in the mountains.  Brilliant stuff - reminds me of Twin Peaks at its very best.  Highly recommended.
