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

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

Season 2 and 4 were the best for me, the historical element to four was great.

Loved Dexter, thought it a very well thought out show. Slice of Life, what a boat lol

Almost finished the first season Of Friday Night lights and have been pleasantly surprised by how good it it.
One of the most enjoyable TV series I have watched, some great characters and really well put together.

Watched the first episode of 11.22.63 last night.
Enjoyed it and will stick with it. Are all the episodes 80mins long though?

Great show. It's much more about small town life in Texas than it is about football. Dips a bit in last couple of seasons in my opinion but very good all the same.

Clear eyes, full hearts. Can't lose.

Watched about a season and a half of this (maybe 2), enjoyed the first season but lost interest a little.  Got the feeling i was too old to be watching it  :P

I've been enjoying the 1916/War of Independence documentaries.

Revolution In Colour was excellent. I didn't see any publicity for it and just stumbled across it. It's two 45-minute episodes covering 1909 to the civil war with colour (colourised, I think) footage from the period. The footage is really what it's all about - the story is the one we all know, simply related - but nearly all the footage is stuff I hadn't seen before, which I found very surprising. Really interesting - it's on the TV3 Player.

I'm enjoying Insurrection (RTE 1, nightly, late). It's a combination of very advanced stuff for 1966 (the rising told from a contemporary TV studio setting, with very good acting by Ray McAnally) and otherwise hammy, amateurish acting and staging. Shouldn't be missed.

I'm looking forward to The Enemy Files (RTE1 9:35 tonight) - Michael Portillo on the rising from the perspective of British files and documents.

Revolution in colour was indeed excellent. The footage was amazing.

Watch Cross Rangers on the BBC and Portillo on the +1.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

What about Vinyl on Sky Atlantic ?

Excellent start to the show!! Great music an intriguing storyline and a few bombs way out of left field.

Ray Romano getting a bit darker too freaked the shit out of me!!!

Loving Vinyl at the minute! Some great storylines in it.  The music is top class too (hope there will be a soundtrack album released).
Are the band in it "The Nasty Bits" supposed to be based on the sex pistols?

Very tempted to watch Vinyl to see the most beautiful woman in the world operate.

If that's Olivia Wilde, she is looking well.
