Do not go near the US version of the killing, its diabolical in comparison to the original!!

I thought the US version was very good $:-\$

So did I. Comparison with the Danish show is ridiculous as they are totally different.

The last series was the best IMO. Her annoying face doesn't improve. Stick with it.

Season 3 & 4 are muck. Skip straight to S5, you won't have missed anything

Pretty sure there has only been 4 seasons of Homeland. I guess you mean skip 2 & 3. Season 4 (just finished) was really enjoyable.

I watched the 2nd one, was very average so stopped watching and thought I had missed two seasons but maybe not. The most recent season is good

Near the end of it now. Very good.

Reading this I was hoping there was a much better 5th series waiting for me!

Finished Breaking Bad last night. Great show but slow in parts too. I found that like the Sopranos, after you watch it it's hard to remember specific incidents. All blends into one. Still though, its like an addiction, you cant stop until there's none left.

new season of Banshee has started well

It was slow but I thought it lived up to the hype. I finished it in December and had withdrawal symptoms from ABQ for a while, really got attached to the characters and setting. Dexter has taken over now though, equally as good so far and I have only started season 4.

In between the double episodes of The Spiral on BBC 4, I have been watching Un Season Francais. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1288631/
It is indeed the next best thing in French tv drama after The Spiral. It sets out to recount the drama of the German occupation of a French village as seen by the inhabitants, from the perspective of collaborationists, the appeasers and the rebels. Josephine and Gilou from the Spiral are there, Gilou is the stand out though. There are 6 seasons 6 pisodes each.
S1 is available on kickass unsubbed, subs could only be found here http://www.addic7ed.com/show/3685
The whole lot is available on Bolt, hardsubbed.

Ms, I'd love to watch that, but what you've posted there is gibberish to a luddite like myself. Is there a simpler way of watching it? Cheers.

Finished S3 of American Horror Story. Quirky but very watchable but never a dull moment. Hard to know whether to recommend the series or not as it may not be to alot of people's taste.

Bates Motel next . Hope it is good.
