Episode 2 of Homeland tonight was sublime.

It was excellent wasn't it? Fair play to them, over one series and two episodes they have packed as much in as some shows would string out over five series. Last night's episode could well have been the season finale for any other show leaving you hanging for a year.

Episode 4 of Boardwalk was a good one too. Gyp Rosetti is a brilliant character, though the scenes with Al Capone stole the show. Stephen Graham is some actor alright.

Tuesday nights now my catch up night. Brilliant stuff.

Agree about Stephen Graham. He gave some performance in This is England.

Don't be spoiling Boardwalk for those of us who have only seen two episodes. I thought the Sopranos would never be beaten for must watch TV but Boardwalk is really beginning to look as if it just might. Btw anyone here watching the second series of Romanzo Criminale? I didn't realise it had started and would like a synopsis of it so far, or if anyone knows how to watch the previous episodes I'd appreciate their advice.

Totally agree about Stephen Graham.

Just watched episodes 9 and 10 of Season 1 last night.  Really good so far, but a bit early to be comparing it to the Soprano's.  The production of the show is unreal and adds something else though.

Rico, when you're into season 3 come back to me and let me know what you think then. As I said I never thought I'd say a series could be as good as the Sopranos but Boardwalk definitely has the potential.

Will do, aim to be there in the next week or two.  I think it will end up as good as if not better.

Started 2nd series of Romanzo Criminale without having watched the first and while i obviously can't say what i missed with the first, it seems easy enough to pick up the thread. Very good so far, the episodes aren't getting to sit in the planner long.

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.
