Just started Breaking Bad series 4.

Some show.

Moved on to Series 4 last night . . . excellent excellent show!!! Only started watching 10 days ago. Hopefully will be up to date before the weekend's over.

It's unreal, just keeps getting darker and darker.
I've seen up to episode 8 of season 5...still trying to find some more downloads or if it's even been released yet.

Definitely not one to be watching with a hangover - have found myself nearly in tears watching it on a Sunday after a heavy night

They have only shown the first 8 episodes of season 5 - last 8 to be shown next year

Up there with the Sopranos in terms of addictiveness imho

Anyone watching Boss season 2? The sex scenes are hilarious, very uncomfortable viewing and add nothing to what is a decent enough show.

Nearing the climax of season four of Dexter, wonderful arc and definitely the show's best season since the first. John Lithgow probably missed out on plenty of dramatic roles through his career because he was so associated with 3rd Rock from the Sun but those roles were lesser for it - this is the first time since Dexter's brother that someone has managed to share the screen with Michael C. Hall in the show and hold their own.

Watched the pilots to 666 Park Avenue, Last Resort and Revenge (yes, I know I'm a year late) recently and all are high quality US network shows (read: don't go in expecting The Sopranos) with refreshing premises. All three's set-ups probably only allow for a season or two of real vitality but that's more than enough for a fun ride.

Speaking of the Sopranos, I finished off the first season of it and it's clear the series is worth most of the acclaim that has went its way. Tony's mother remains a scene stealer.

One of the great performances I've ever seen he was simply awesome and in my opinion the best ending to a Season of a TV show yet.

Only started season two. Good show so far, but you're right about the gratuitous riding. They basically just wedge 60 seconds of porn into every episode.
You ain't seen nothing yet if you've just started season 2....some ridiculous ones coming up.

Season Three of The Walking Dead coming on FX I think tomorrow night, watched first two seasons and thought it was very good (if a bit slow in places) anyone else watch it?

Watched the first 2 series', and season 2 definitely was very slow due to having more episodes.  Saw quite a long trailer for season 3 a few months back and this season looks good and action packed.  This season is make or break really, if it is as slow as the last people will lose interest so they need to really go for it.

I actually thought the slower pace of season two was a very good thing and finally allowed the characters to develop into more than one-or-two note creations. The first half of the season established things that the second half delivered pay-offs to, as well as plenty of action.

It's probably important to note season three will have 16 episodes, whereas the first two had 19 combined - there will be at least a few moments of introspection rather than just non-stop zombie action.

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.

You've Been Trumped. It is a long time since I have been as cross watching a tv show. Trump is a rotten cnut.

Have enjoyed a few shows recently.

Breaking Bad - onto Season 4 now - by far the best I've seen on TV.
Hunderby - a pisstake of BBC period dramas.
Moone Boy
Park and Recreation
Homeland series 2. Didn't like the first.
Modern Family new series

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Really enjoyed last night's episode of The Thick of It. They were all pulled up on a leaking Inquiry. Malcolm Tucker was hilarious as ever.

It was superb, Tucker's monologue at the end was brilliant. Just a pity next week's episode will be the last ever.

Anyone watched "Rescue Me"? Denis Leary as an alco new york fireman post 911.
Its funny and tragic at the same time. Just started watching it recently, definitely worth a watch.
