TV Show recommendations

Was watching Revolution too which was good until it was cancelled as well

after what season did it get cancelled?. only watched season 1 and always meant to get into season 2.

is there any kind of closure or would it be a waste of time in watching the rest of it?

It finished after season 2, and I thought season 2 was pretty good as well.  There was no closure, think it was cancelled after filming had been finished.

Can't wait for Mad Men to come back on again

Watching the World at War series made in the 70s at the minute. Mesmerising stuff. Has to be one of the best documentaries ever made. I think there's nearly 30 episodes covering WW2 from the rise of the Nazis until Nueremburg. The episode called "Genocide" is horrific.

Ive finished season 3 of House of Cards. It's ok just in my opinion. I haven't really been gripped by it or dying to watch to watch the next episode like I have been with other series. Struggling to find a series to really get into at the minute. Just started Deadwood so I will see how I get on with that.

Deadwood is exceptional. As good as the wire or sopranos in my book.

HoC 3 faded badly for me. It's just a White House drama now, which the west wing perfected ten years ago.

Would agree with you gallsman about HOC, am halfway through season 3 and I honestly couldn't care less if I never saw another episode - I think the cast are bored with it too.

Am really enjoying 'Better Call Saul'; a fine piece of television - good characterisation and a very different 'feel' to Breaking Bad.

The Italian drama, on Sky, called '1992' is also quite enjoyable - only two episodes so far and is kind of a cross between Mad Men and HOC (in a good way).  Appears to be based on the 1992 political crisis in Italy and based around the lives of 6 or so fictional characters involved in the political and related machinations of the time.

I've been enjoying BCS, 9 episodes so far, is there much milage left?
We could see how Saul set up his office and did he have some connection with Mike?
In Breaking Bad, I forget exactly where Mike came in, did he do some work for Saul or had he already fully moved to being a part of Gus' fried chicken outlet? And just how did Saul get to know Gus?
Maybe the next series offshoot will be about Mike's story, though that actor is getting on in years.

I seem to be the only one enjoyed season 3 HOC. I thought it was brilliant. Deadwood is ok. Got bored with it quickly enough.Better call Saul shaping up nice. Still to come across a show that comes near to the sopranos. Best ever by a distance.

Did you give the  Wire a go?

[gallsman]

If you can get bored of Deadwood but enjoy HoC 3,I don't think I can recommend anything. It was just plodding and shite for all but about two episodes. Everything they tried to do this season has already been done better and with more style and wit by the West Wing.

Deadwood didn't impress me also and gave up after 3 or 4 episodes. Same with Treme .
Deadwood highly rated by many on this thread though.

I enjoyed the west wing but it was very tame compared to HOC. Have watched the wire thought it was class first couple of seasons. Got a bit ridiculous towards the end.

Your wood is dead if you got bored with Deadwood!  Whiskey drinking,  whoring, shooting, fighting and Lovejoy in  a lawless town! Incredible show. Would still say it's my number 1 just ahead of the Sopranos, BB and Vikings.

West Wing is tame compared to HoC in the sense that there are no murders, sex scandals etc. What made HoC really good was Frank's reaction to bring snubbed fuelling his determination to get back at everyone by destroying them and seizing power himself by any means possible. Once he did that and became president, it just became another political drama in my book. One that isn't fit to lace the West Wing's boots.
