21:50 – 22:45
Spiral
Series 2, Episode 2
2/8 Judge Roban uses his usual cunning in investigating a strange rape allegation. (R)

If you missed the last series, this is a French detective series as gritty as The Wire/The Shield.

Very good series of a very good programme.

Watched the end of Alcatraz, got really good the past 3 or 4 episodes therefore annoyed and it's cancellation.

liked alcatraz too.

with the ending that was provided, it seemed like the writers were told at the last minute that it would be cancelled.

why do they keep cancelling decent shows like this after just 1 season?

It seems that shows now cannot have any kind of build up.  Alcatraz started slowly and obviously lost viewers, but as mentioned it picked up towards the end and its a shame it is over.  I liked Flash Forward too.  Your doll Jones in Alcatraz made it easier to watch every week too, Hurley really was wasted in the show though.  I was surprised to see Tommy Madsen stick the knife in her at the end, I thought that the last episode was showing us that everything about him was not what it seemed (the partner being corrupt etc).  They were starting to really link it to the fella who was released early from Alcatraz too which was looking like an interesting turn.  Found it a bit silly that Sam Neill was supposed to be 70+ though.

Good man way to ruin it for anyone still watching the show.

The Event was another half decent show cancelled after just 1 season.

Aye, watched that too.  Definitely had potential.  You would imagine in today's climate that the like of The Soprano's or Lost wouldn't be given much of a chance.  At least The Walking Dead hasn't been given the boot yet.

New season of true blood starts soon - Oh f**k.

You could have wrote it without feeling the need to stick a hashtag in there like nearly every other tube using an internet based device these days.

As if you were watching it.

The last 3 episodes of Touch were very good, it had been pretty average for a few episodes before those 3.

I found myself getting bored with it.  The last few episodes definitely lifted it up a gear.

The oul series links are running low at the minute.  Game of Thrones over, The walking Dead, The American Office, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire

I have all of this series of Dexter to watch though, so that should keep me busy for a while.

Any new series starting up shortly?  Falling Skies isn't a bad series.  It should be starting soon

[Billys Boots]

True Blood series-5 started in the US on Sunday night I believe.  I've downloaded the first episode but haven't seen it yet.
