Enjoyed BB although I don't think its ott praise was merited. Still very good though.

Female characters in it (bar one )very annoying but think that was done deliberately.

One minor gripe I have about it is that most of the really interesting characters were not around at the end. Think one or two villians killed off a little too early imo.

Turning into the TV whinge related thread...how about having a good chat with a family member, read a book or do a bit of exercise instead of having to sit through hours of 1st world torture...

We do 5-6 only hours a week of TV.

you're 100% right there b-man. I'm in the middle a few shows and have spent way to long watching shows this year. Gonna really limit my viewing time from Jan onwards.

You'd be a sub 20min 5k runner by now if it wasn't for Breaking Bad.

I watched a bit of the Keith Lemon film last night.

Nothing new, and peddling the same old joke. Why do people find this bollix funny?

Yes, the bottle of red that went with every night watching it didn't help.

I'd watch Emerdale to avoid the 3 things you mentioned there.

Still watching The Killing at the moment and even though we are really enjoying it, there have been entire episodes on fringe characters that just wasted time. Have to say I enjoy the character Holder.
It's in the nature of that drama for the plot to take you around various characters and leads which end up going into different (or the same) cul de sacs, but the rhythm of the investigation doesn't lose a beat.
How do you think the US version compares with the original  Danish production?
