Bron/Broen season 3 started a couple of weeks ago on bbc4. Loved the 1st 2 seasons, but, not sure how I feel about the 3rd after 1 episode. The change in characters doesn't float my boat.

The Peep Show episode on Wed nite was comic genius at it's arse clenching best.

The new series has been as good as ever

Yup, the last two or three haven't been great but it looks like they're going out on a high (or crumbling low as it happens). I find myself genuinely cringing and turning away from some of the things happening, they're that awkward!
The colouring in of the Cheddar to make it look like Stilton scene was just sublime.

I am completely thick  :o. Embarrassed to say that after being mad all day at not getting the proper ending i went home last night and realised i hadnt actually watched 10 episodes and when i went to the next page on sky the last two episodes were there  :-[ :-[ :-[.
Anyway it was a fantastic series. Looking forward to series 2. Definitely recommend watching it.

Josh on BBC3 has been a grower, Episode 4 was very very funny.

Has anyone been watching Crossing Lines? The storylines are quite good but some of the acting and corny lines have been dire, however, on the whole I've enjoyed it. Has had a few very dramatic and unexpected moments such as the season finale this week.
That was never a square ball!!

Main Street

While twiddling my thumbs waiting for the next episode of Fargo, I made an attempt to watch a few episodes of The Leftovers. It was depressing stuff, laden with wooden characters engaged in contrived arguments. Then there's the smoking cult?? an  unrelieved permanent state of depression.
Just think, being mandated to attend secondary school for 5 years in the 1970's with an unrelenting line of plodding, dull teachers, that's the world of The Leftovers.

Anyone watch 'you me and the apocalypse' on sky one. Thought it was very good. Not sure how they could make a second season though...

Had 21 shows on the go at one stage last year and now I have none, although that's because of season breaks etc.  But I'm thinking at the minute the only shows I have on the go that haven't been cancelled or finished are GOT, Peaky Blinders, Leftovers, Blacklist, Better Call Saul, Fear the Walking Dead, the 100 and Walking Dead.  I actually looked forward to having less as they were too addictive but now I am finding that there is hardly anything on at night to watch film wise, trying to resist going on a binge but been hearing too much about Sons of Anarchy.

sons of anarchy is a great show, up there with my favourites one season where they come to belfast is it a bit poor but again that could be because anyone from here watching it knows that a. the accents were brutal and b. we dont live in shanty huts lol. Def give it a watch you won't regret it, unless you regret not getting to sleep until 4-5 in the morning because of the '1 more episode' disease lol.

Agree with you there about SOA.

The series based in Ireland imo was awful and now I think it was more to do with the accents and scenes obviously filmed in America but claiming to be set along the border.

Hearing great things about the following serieses and aim to finish the whole boxset off in the new year.

Started watching a series called The last man on earth.
It's harmless enough but has its funny moments. I'll probably stick with it.

This series of Toast of London has been excellent. Pat Short in it tonight performing sex change operations for £50.
