Started watching Love/Hate last weekend. Gripping show. Only have 3 epsiodes left to watch. Couldn't believe the amount of sex, drugs and violence for a show made in Ireland. Was there much of a fuss made when it was shown at home?

I have only seen series 3 Laceer but thought it was brilliant . As regards a fuss about the sex drugs and violence there was none really with people saying that it's typical of what's going on in Ireland at the moment.

What's this Suits like? Might give it a watch if someone can post a link for streaming?

Anyone see Kevin Bacon's The Following on tonight? Wasn't entirely enjoying it at the start (I'm a fan of Criminal Minds where the serial killers are caught within the hour) but I'll def tune in next wk. Pretty intriguing.

Yes saw it last night Rois. I enjoyed it. I made sure all the doors were locked before heading to bed 

Just watched the first episode. Thought it was very good and something I will keep watching.

Aw Suits is class, I really enjoy it and glad Season 2 is back. Sorry, no streaming links.  Not exactly for the high brow tv snob though...

Liked it but found it unnecessarily gory for tv. I don't mind a bit of gore but had a niggle that it was possibly going out of its way to be conrroversial.

There was a show called Revolution advertised during The Following. Anyone seen it?

How are you supposed to not be very gory when a killer is echoing Edgar Allan Poe poetry? It was hardly gore for gore's sake, it enhanced the story that was being told.

Nothing beyond what you'd see in Dexter, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones or any number of US or UK shows. It's when a show about serial killers gets sketchy about gore that my alarm bells start ringing.

If you're signing up for the premise you're signing up for some brutal deaths.

On the show itself, I found it very enjoyable and well put together. It's obviously a far-fetched concept but it's one with room for plenty of fun. Having Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy as the leads really is what makes the show, both fine actors and in Purefoy's case hugely under-rated. He was great as Mark Anthony in the Rome HBO/BBC series.

As long as they keep the focus on those two this show can get at least season or two of good material out of the concept, which is more than you can say for most network shows.

Ah, I knew I recognised him from somewhere, he has a good look for conveying extreme arrogance in both roles. Was a scary enough show!

On the recommendation of those here, myself and herself have started watching Breaking Bad.

Awesome show.

Posted a few pages back but still worth a laugh......

Though last nights episode was good as well.

Started The West Wing this weekend and really liking it. It's not any kind of gripping drama or anything, but the characters make you want to continue to watch them. Great show.

Top top show. The first 4 series are as good as you'll get anywhere. You like to think that's the way the White House is run but in all probablility it's not!
