I've discovered Strike Back on my On Demand channels - gone through Seasons 2 and 3 so far - Season 1 didn't air in the US - I believe the final season is starting next week.

A combination of Banshee, Homeland and 24 - perfect turn your brain off television - yer man Scott in it would give Sheriff Hook a run for his money in Banshee

Having been watching this myself onto Season 4 now I think, reminds me of Commando 2 men in this case can kill or blow up almost anything

Just watched True Detectives latest episode last night waiting for something special, still waiting.

I've thrown the towel in re True Detective  2. Wouldn't be arsed.  The first season was alright.  9 episodes of chat and watching men can and fag and then they introduce the baddy who we really knew buck all about,  meh

Watched the first episode of Witnesses,  the French crime show on C4. Looks good.  The lead detective is nice

Ballers starring the Rock.  5 odd episodes in. Decent craic,  though the episodes are way too short

Wentworth is great. Season 3 just started last week.

Yep, watching the current season . To say it beggars belief is an understatement.

We have nothing to fear from North Korea if this tv series is anything to go by. Its soldiers just seem to want to run straight into gunfire at every opportunity...... in their droves.


SPOILER ALERT






Lads last week I think waltzed into NK and destroyed a power station........... and then escaped from custody.
Makes the Germans in Where Eagles Dare or Kellys Heroes seem like special forces by comparison.

Only for the first few seasons. Once he leaves the Panthers it becomes very soap-like. Kyle Chandler a great actor though.

Probably been mentioned before but the US version of the office is brilliant.

True Detective 2 is just class

It was shite until this week's episode but that was magnificent.
Watched it at 6am this morning when I was feeding the younglad.
Fantastic episode.
Nordie Tayto is shite

Agree. Big let-down after the 1st series, which was quite decent

This weeks episode was a bit better, but only that
