Finally got to the end of the Soprano's, half knew what was coming regarding the ending.  Big let down.

Been watching Touch and Alcatraz too, with Alcatraz already chopped.  Can't see Touch lasting much longer either.  I must be a jinx, but thats The Event, Flash Forward and Alcatraz all cancelled now.  The only other ones I am watching are The Walking Dead and Falling Skies.

For fans of Scandinavian Crime series, I've been watching the dramatisation of the Arne Dahl novels - as they've not yet been translated into English yet, we're a little ahead of ourselves.  It's very, very good and very, very quirky.  The information in English is poor - very little in IMDB for instance but try english.arnedahl.net/.  If you want to be pointed at downloads and subtitles, drop me a PM.

I need a new TV series to watch. Can't get into watching Game of Thrones, will watch the first 10 minutes and will find something more interesting to watch. Started watching touch but that has finished. Have finished 24 but girlfriend has started to get into so she is on series 1. Any other recommendations? Is Dexter anygood?

I had the same problem with game of thrones. watched first episode of dexter and thought it a very strange show. id recommend 24 and the wire, think there possibly the two best tv shows ever made. friday night lights is also brilliant. also really enjoyed the first 4 seasons of the american office.

Some, but not very much, I must admit.   ;)

Just over half way through Homeland. Not really getting why it was bummed up so much. Watchable enough but nothing special. Claire Danes ruins every scene she appears in with her absurd attempts at acting. If it weren't for Damian Lewis holding the thing together I'd probably have given up by now. Plenty of boobs though, which is nice.

Finished The Bridge a couple of weeks ago. Very good, although I think I enjoyed The Killing more. Might try this Borgen show next, the Danes haven't let me down yet.

I really enjoyed Suits that was on Dave.  I'm a sucker for legal dramas.

Watched homeland to the end and it never exactly left me with a feeling of excitement for the next season.

Later seasons are very poor and cliché-ridden. First two were excellent though.

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

Have the final 3 episodes of Touch to watch this weekend, need something else to take up some time after finishing The Soprano's too.  Anybody watched Boardwalk Empire - not much catching up to do.

Have The Bridge and Sebastian Bergman UPC+ed so hope to start them shortly.

As for the Killing it was good but imho was around 5 to 7 episodes too long. I thought that it sagged quiet a bit as the series went on and maybe it is me but 20 episodes is just too long for the one series.

Watching a fair bit of Modern Family recently and is a gem of a show. A character in it called Phil Dunphy who is stealing the show in it.

Modern Family is excellent.
Claire and Gloria are both gems.
