Best tv

[HibbyAndy]

Right now we are getting into the dark nights what's the best tv series to watch right now ?.. I'm already on Leftovers but your only getting 1 episode a week..Im looking to power through a box set or 2 in a week :greengrin

Cannae watch Game of thrones as i powered through series 1-3 whilst series 4 was half way through so need to wait on it ending.

The last ship was recommended to me?.. Breaking bad it seems everyones watching?..I've done Lost, The best by far ever programme on tv :greengrin


What's everyone else getting their teeth into the now?

[MyJo]

Finished watching Breaking Bad on Netflix the other week, absolutely superb and definately recommended. Currently halfway through the second season of Sons of Anarchy which im also enjoying. Currently watching the leftovers, legends and Forever on telly.

As for programmes to catch up on:

Spartacus
The Walking Dead
Sleepy Hollow
Ray Donovan
Ripper Street
True Detective
Hannibal
The Following
Penny Dreadful
Person of Interest
The Borgias

All highly recommended.

[Barman Stanton]

Currently watching House of Cards on Netflix and enjoying it. Just finishing the first series and would recommend so far.

[Scouse Hibee]

Orange is the New Black :wink:

[easty]

I didn't get into Luther first time around, but watched it all recently. Great TV.

I'm going to start on Sons of Anarchy soon.

[adhibs]

bit different than the rest mentiond as its a 20 minute animated comedy but i'm watching Bobs Burgers. i'm three episodes into the 2nd series and it's excellent, some brilliant characters in it. Got fargo and house of cards waiting for when im wanting to watch something a bit more serious. Downloading the new sons of anarchy epsiodes as they air, been a brilliant season so far so definately recomend catching up with that.

I think this is one of the best TV series I've ever seen. Hamlet meets fall of the Roman Empire on motorbikes with cowboys. However prepare yourself mentally, it gets gruesome and very dark.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Gomorrah, an Italian production is pretty decent. It's currently on Sky Atlantic and the soundtrack IMO is decent. A bit Mogwai-esque. Mogwai did the soundtrack for the French TV programme The Returned which is far better than The Leftovers.

Defo recommend Fringe mate..... I got hooked on it. Really original with great characters and loads of twists. Great TV.....

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Prison Break and Breaking Bad are the best TV series' I have ever watched. Can't pick a winner between them though.

[HibeeLR]

Currently watching the blacklist & legends, both are very good TV shows, especially the blacklist! Series 1 was brilliant and 2 has been great so far. Also started watching Gotham, which starts on Channel five on the 13th.

[matty_f]

Boardwalk Empire, Andy. Full first 4 seasons on box sets on your Sky box just now. Brilliant show :agree:

[Mon Dieu4]

I think this is one of the best TV series I've ever seen. Hamlet meets fall of the Roman Empire on motorbikes with cowboys. However prepare yourself mentally, it gets gruesome and very dark.

I totally agree with you on that, I love sons of anarchy, the 7th and final series has been mental so far

[RoslinInstHibby]

Show called Vikings was quality too, the wire was amazing. Dexter is a good watch . Just watching Grey's anatomy which is surprisingly good. Loved the show "heroes" might watch that again actually. Peaky blinders was decent. If I were to watch one of them it would be" the wire". So good.

[West hamBERNIAN]

Loved homeland too but the wire still wins.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Just watching Grey's anatomy which is surprisingly good.

Who would've thought Tommy from Trainspotting would end up running a hospital in Seattle?!!

[TRC]

Just finished a young doctors note book and other stories. Was pleasantly surprised find it on Netflix on 22 mins long and 8 episodes in total, some cracking black humour .

[West hamBERNIAN]

Who would've thought Tommy from Trainspotting would end up running a hospital in Seattle?!!

There was an episode when the whole cast sang throughout the episode, he was shocking. He's quite good normally though.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I shouldnae be admitting to this but, aye I saw it! :-)

I've watched the rest of them too! :-o Hence the avatar.

[MyJo]

Completely forgot about Fringe, that was excellent if a little bit "out there" at times.

Im looking forward to The Flash, managed to see the pilot episode when it was leaked a few weeks back and it was good :greengrin

Also thought of another series i would recommend for a boxset session. Flashforward, loved it and was gutted when it was cancelled after just the one season.

[West hamBERNIAN]

Can't see your avatar on my phone, hopefully it's not yang. 😃 just watching the last season just now. 👍

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Nah, alex's bird, Jo Wilson.

[overdrive]

Prisoners of War (the Israeli show Homeland was based on) is really good. Better than Homeland though a subtitled show may not be your cup of tea!

[SuperAllyMcleod]

Just in case you are looking for non American shows, you could try the following:-

The Fall (series 2 due later this month)
Hinterland
Amber
Broadchurch
Borgen (subtitles)
The Killing (subtitles)
The Bridge (subtitles)
Spiral (subtitles)
Arne Dahl (subtitles)

The advantage of the subtitled shows is that you don't really know who the stars are and therefore who is not likely to die! Also, the original Scandinavian shows are always better than the American remakes.

Quite enjoyed the first season of spiral. Watched the 2nd one a couple of months ago and thought it was poor in comparison though.

[heretoday]

The Driver (BBC1) has been excellent. It finished last night. Only 3 episodes but the best of British TV acting and some suitably nasty villains.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

You're easily pleased, the ending was an absolute joke, I wouldnae bother to be honest.

Secrets and Lies on CH5 has been quite good so far, only watched the first two eps tho.

[RoslinInstHibby]

Anyone watch justifed?? watched the 1st episode last night and quite enjoyed it

[adhibs]

:aok:

[West hamBERNIAN]

Was excellent, really enjoyed it. On par with homeland at least. Also "gamorrah" is a brilliant series. Subtitles Italian gangster. Nearly finished first series, still on sky Atlantic I think.

[Sweet Left Peg]

No mention of The Sopranos or Alan Partridge yet? Tut tut, dot netters; tut tut.....

[HibbyAndy]

So many box sets to choose from but i plumped for The walking dead..Watched the pilot episode last night and im hooked! Really hope its as good as im thinking it will be :aok:

Quite a few of the scenes were filmed on location at about 1650 in Gorgie on a Saturday when Hearts were at home.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Forgot to put American Horror Story on my wee list, well worth a watch. Bedlam was quite decent too.

[TRC]

The bridge Swedish danish version. Both seasons are great

How you getting on with it Andy?

[CallumLaidlaw]

Love the walking dead. Season 3 is my favourite. The new season started very well last night

[RoslinInstHibby]

last night's show was something else! reckon the budget has gone up lol, lots of wee references to the comics too. did any gotham fans notice the penguin's cameo too?

Loving it Hutch:agree:


Powered through series 1 in three days lol:thumbsup:


I'd hate to have lived in that era :paranoid::take that:eek:

[RoslinInstHibby]

just watched the 1st episode of the flash, not bad at all...very similar style to arrow

[Godsahibby]

New season of Walking Dead was immense last night, personally thought the last season was pretty piss poor, last night certainly made up for that!

[CallumLaidlaw]

New season of Walking Dead was immense last night, personally thought the last season was pretty piss poor, last night certainly made up for that!

Walking dead now seems to have a habit of every other season slowing down. 2 and 4 both poor but 1 and particularly 3 were brilliant. And season 5 looks like it could be the same

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Loving it Hutch:agree:

Aye, its good entertainment.

Watch out for spoilers on this thread, naebody has been daft enough so far but, I've been a victim of that a couple of times on this board! If I had any hair I would've ripped it oot! :-)

[cabbageandribs1875]

Although the 5th season has just started AMC have already renewed The Walking Dead for a 6th season as well :coolhib:

[Hibrandenburg]

Just went and got 3 seasons of "Waking the Dead" :doh:

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I knew I couldnae remember one. Deadwood is magnificent. Anyone that missed it, enjoy the catch up!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Secrets and Lies on CH5 has been quite good so far, only watched the first two eps tho.

Watched the final episode earlier, quite enjoyed it. An American version is about to be released, stick to the Aussie one.

[sleeping giant]

My wife watches Wentworth and I must say that I quite like that Frankie :greengrin
I would :agree:

I must say I'm absolutely loving it, fantastic. Never a dull moment.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I'm quite enjoying it too. Jim Gordon's cop partner is a dick though!

[West hamBERNIAN]

Lol definitely, he has to go.
The guy playing the penguin is quality. Hope this show goes on and on.

[Flynn]

Shocked Prison Break isn't on that list :greengrin

It's on my to-binge-watch list at some point.

Quite liking Gotham, it has its faults but also lots of potential. Much much better than Agents of Shield so far.

Started watching The Following and Peaky Blinders last night. Both very good, especially PB.

[Stranraer]

The last British TV series I really liked was "How not to live your life". Apart from that, the American office is excellent and worth watching from the beginning :aok:

[frazeHFC]

Started watching Arrow the other night. Flying through it, really enjoying it. Gotham looks good but not got round to it yet, will do once up to date with Arrow.

It's nowhere near the likes of Dexter and The Sopranos etc in terms of quality imo, but finding it a good watch.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Started watching Arrow the other night. Flying through it, really enjoying it. Gotham looks good but not got round to it yet, will do once up to date with Arrow.

It's nowhere near the likes of Dexter and The Sopranos etc in terms of quality imo, but finding it a good watch.

Starling City certainly seems to have more than its fair share of lovely ladies! :-)

[RoslinInstHibby]

Starling City certainly seems to have more than its fair share of lovely ladies! :-)
:agree: it does indeed. its also a cracking show

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Anyone ever seen Orange Is The New Black and able to tell me if it's any good?

[Haymaker]

Anyone ever seen Orange Is The New Black and able to tell me if it's any good?

I thought it was great. Strangely funny and dark humour in places.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Just watched ep2 of The Missing on catch-up, when did Ken Stott morph into George Foulkes? He even had a pish stain on his breeks!

[overdrive]

The last British TV series I really liked was "How not to live your life". Apart from that, the American office is excellent and worth watching from the beginning :aok:

Brilliant show... and filmed in Scotland as well. Dan Clark's musical comedy stuff is pretty good too.

[BroxburnHibee]

I see House has now been added to Netflix. I've watched the first few episodes which while enjoyable enough felt quite formulaic.

Should I stick with it?

[Peevemor]

I really liked it, although it does get more and more samish when you get to the later series.

[West hamBERNIAN]

Anyone ever seen Orange Is The New Black and able to tell me if it's any good?

I thought it was okay, it sort of felt like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be funny or dramatic. My girlfriend definitely liked it more than I did.

[Betty Boop]

Gogglebox is hilarious .

[iwasthere1972]

Gogglebox is hilarious .

:agree:

The posh couple from Sandwich are funny. Maybe helps that they are trollied most of the time. The two lads who are hairdressers are also funny. The female minister or whatever she is is probably the only one that I don't like. Oh and how her husband can sit there eating while the dug lies next to him with its legs in the air showing its dangly bits baffles me.

The old scouser guy asking his wife to show him her knickers. :greengrin

Good viewing.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I see House has now been added to Netflix. I've watched the first few episodes which while enjoyable enough felt quite formulaic.

Should I stick with it?

Easy watching but I think more a show to watch every week rather than by box set.

He always solves it.

[Stranraer]

The Missing is really good - best BBC drama since "Good Cop".

[Danderhall Hibs]

Has anyone ever watched Luther? Really enjoyed that.

[West hamBERNIAN]

Has anyone ever watched Luther? Really enjoyed that.

Really liked the most recent series. Hopefully the next one is as good.

[West Upper]

The Walking Dead
Breaking Bad
Prison Break

Are the 3 series i would recommend to watch

I am also enjoying Gotham so far

[easty]

Has anyone ever watched Luther? Really enjoyed that.

Luther is class.

[Future17]

Gogglebox is hilarious .

:agree:

The posh couple who "like a drink" are very funny, but my favourite is the Geordie lassie who watches with her parents. She should get her own show.

[HibbyAndy]

For those (Like me) That are still persisting with the Leftovers i thought tonight's Episode was top drawer! A wee insight to Life before the 2% suddenly vanished of the face of the earth!..Quite happy i persisted with it, Outstanding episode...Its taken 9 of these but were getting their.

Ive watched the last episode of the season and while it was alright i was left feeling a bit like i had wasted ten hours of my life watching it. If im being honest i might just pass on it if it gets a second season.

Im now catching up on episodes of Sleepy Hollow's second season that i've recorded but not started watching yet :thumbsup: I've also worked my way through the first 5 seasons of Sons of Anarchy on Netflix which has been absolutely class but i cant find out when season 6 is going to be available and its killing me

[Mikey09]

I see House has now been added to Netflix. I've watched the first few episodes which while enjoyable enough felt quite formulaic.

Speaking of Netflix.... Watched a fantastic couple of documentaries, (yep I'm geeky that way). First one was Blackfish, about Orca's being kept at Seaworld. Other one was Dirty Wars by a journo called Jeremy Scahill. A riveting watch.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Luther is class.

Also enjoyed The Fall on bbc2 last year. 2nd series started tonight.

Blackfish is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, it really made me take notice of somthing I never really thought about....it also seems to be having an affect on seaworld, although millions still filter through he doors since its release in 2013 im sure profit and entrance figures have dropped by about 10% and the backlash from it just wont go way, which I think sea world had hoped for

Agree.... It's a film that really makes anyone who has been to Seaworld question there morals in doing so. These beautiful creatures should be left in the wild not kept in a tiny pool being made to perform for our pleasure. Disgusting. If you enjoyed that then I would recommend " The Cove ." It will blow your ****in mind re Japan's treatment and slaughter of dolphins.

Totally agree, was a really good bit of TV.

[Haymaker]

Just finishing The Shield again. The last 3 episodes...

[sleeping giant]

Just bumping this so I can find it :greengrin

[sleeping giant]

I have been trying to start watching the Sopranos and I believe it's only available through Amazon Instant .
I have signed up for the free trial but it's still trying to charge me per episode.
That can't be right can it ?

Started watching Orange is the new Black but got bored after 6 episodes after realising its a chick flick/series.

[BroxburnHibee]

Since getting SkyHD I've just watched all of the West Wing again - superb.

[MyJo]

Almost finished watching Marco Polo on Netflix which has been good IMO

Doesn't sound right no, I cant see Sopranos on my Amazon so looks like its not available. When I search for it its asking me to pay too.

If you haven't seen it give Ray Donovan season 1 a try. Just finished on that around Christmas and now moved onto Game of Thrones season 1 through Sky box sets.

[Jack Hackett]

A few not mentioned, but worth a look

Warehouse 13
Defiance
Falling Skies
Revolution
Strike Back

....and the best of the lot, Channel 4's Utopia, which has been inexplicably axed after 2 seasons, given the universal critical acclaim.

Also, another shout for Marvels Agents of Shield, which is now motoring along nicely after a slow start

[HibbyAndy]

When's the Walking dead back oan?

[Danderhall Hibs]

Season 2 of Ray Donovan is great tv as well.

[therealgavmac]

Loads of my faves already mentioned.......

Walking Dead
House of Cards (the Kevin Spacey version)
Luther
Whitechapel
Homeland

Surprised nobody's mentioned Lilyhammer - I love it!

Couldnt find it on amazon, netflix or sky. is it on anywhere? Otherwise I guess I wait for sky to replay it!

I watched it when it was on, had a quick look and it's not on Sky on demand.

Wouldn't worry though they tend to replay these things to death prior to the next season coming on!

[cabbageandribs1875]

the walking dead S5 EP9 not on until sun 8th feb :( and the 6 episodes they made for the last series of warehouse 13 were really pretty poor, i liked quite a few of previous seasons/episodes as well but the show certainly didn't finish with a bang unfortunately(imo)

[Hibs Class]

Loads of my faves already mentioned.......

Walking Dead
House of Cards (the Kevin Spacey version)
Luther

I got S1 and S2 of this for Christmas, finished S1 today, it's been excellent.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I'm quite enjoying Stalker on SKY Living, The first series of The Strain was good too. American Horror Story just gets radger as each season goes by!

[Danderhall Hibs]

Has anyone ever watched The Newsroom?

I've got 3 episodes to go - really enjoy it. It's written by the same folk that wrote the West Wing.

Thought it it was a brilliant series,shame they aren't doing any more.

[Stranraer]

Silent Witness was brilliant last night and I'm pretty sure there is a Luther box-set lurking in my DVD drawer.

[sleeping giant]

Getting a bit bored by Prison Break and I've not even finished the first series :greengrin

[Danderhall Hibs]

Just got House of Cards today. Any good?

Watching Legends as well (Sean Bean undercover FBI agent). Decent, not brilliant but watchable.

[Danderhall Hibs]

They dragged that out for far too long.i watched the lot but I was just watching out of habit in the end.

[Mr White]

Really enjoyed both seasons of House of Cards, looking forward to season 3 at easter. Kevin Spacey is brilliant as usual.

[Matty_Jack04]

They dragged that out for far too long.i watched the lot but I was just watching out of habit in the end.

I watched it all too, probably the first series I got hooked on loved the first 2 then the 3rd was a chore and the 4th well ruined the whole thing for me It was all over the place and then hastily wrapped up as the series was cancelled

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The first couple of eps of Crisis which is being shown on Watch have been quite promising.

[Mikey09]

Never got to watch any of The Walking Dead so started 1st episode right now before my backshift at 1pm. Liking it already. Watched Suspects on Tuesday night..... Bloody awful!! Story lines, acting... Everything about it was mince.

[HibeeLR]

Started watching Hannibal a few days ago, absolutely loving it!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Started watching Hannibal a few days ago, absolutely loving it!

Wouldnae like to spend too long inside the mind of the guy that thought the storylines up though! :no way:

Much the same as Ryan Murphy, How can someone come up with Glee then American Horror Story?

[heretoday]

I think Benidorm is very funny. Wouldn't like to go there though.

[Godsahibby]

Been working my way through Justified, delighted to hear a final season is being made.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Been working my way through Justified, delighted to hear a final season is being made.

I've enjoyed it as well. The latest series is available on Sky on demand - don't think it's been on proper tv yet.

[wpj]

Currently watching the killing (American version) on Netflix, pretty good, on season three and felt the first two seasons started to drag but still watchable

[MyJo]

Started watching Hannibal a few days ago, absolutely loving it!

Hannibal is superb.

Watched Marco Polo on Netflix which is pretty good, also watched the third season of Continuum on Netflix thanks to getting access to the american site.

Also on the last episode of broadchurch season 1 which is excellent

[Godsahibby]

Been working my way through Justified, delighted to hear a final season is being made.

Timed that well, finished this on sky on demand yesterday to find out episode 1 of season 6 aired in the U.S. last night.

Big fan of the books Justified comes from but not watched it yet, could be the next watch.

[hibsbollah]

True Detective. Fantastic dialogue and quite genuinely scary.

[hibsbollah]

Agree with you on Lilyhammer - very good.

I was massively disappointed in lillyhammer. Love steve van zandt, love the writing team, can't understand why it didn't work.

[Matty_Jack04]

True Detective. Fantastic dialogue and quite genuinely scary.

Brilliant TV loved this,returning for season 2 soon Colin Farrell and vince Vaughn star in this one

Just started watching Hannibal only 3 episodes in but quite enjoying it so far

[Stranraer]

I'm currently on season 5 of House. Some episodes are a bit too predictable but it feels like I'm hooked!

[Mikey09]

Watching Top Gear just now.... Questions. Does James May, who I really like, pick his own outfit for the show?? If not who does? He actually makes Clarkson look stylish!! :shocked:

[CropleyWasGod]

"Spiral" on BBC4

It's on Series 5 just now, but probably my favourite foreign-language series ever.

[heretoday]

Wolf Hall - the adaptation of Hilary Mantel's fine novel. Mark Rylance is the saturnine Thomas Cromwell - a man who kicked up by his wits from low and unpleasant beginnings.

The BBC are making a big thing out of it but I feel it's too dark. Tudor life was bleak all right but there must have been crowds and music and street life.

The first episode was like a bunch of admittedly fine actors playing in various empty National Trust venues.

Can't get into Broad church but Silent Witness has been brilliant so far with these 2 parters.

Laughed out loud at your final sentence. I said the same about the NT properties to Mrs Bollah. I read both Mantel books and am thoroughly enjoyed the adaptation so far.

"Spiral" on BBC4

Surprised no one else has mentioned this before. Much grittier and in my eyes much better than the Scandi style series. The end of episode 6 was completely shocking. There can't be many shows that would get rid of a main character so suddenly

I'm still in shock about that.....although, thinking it through, not sure that all is as it seems.

Anyway, I am off for a couple of weeks so will catch up on the iPlayer when I get back....nae spoilers!

:agree: There were definitely a few echoes of 1980s scifi alien in the arctic classic The Thing. But then it morphed into a whos bad whos good whodunnit.

True Detective. Fantastic dialogue and quite genuinely scary.

I loved True Detective but I wish I could erase the last 10mins from my memory. A much better ending would've been a certain character dying in the climax. Could've done without the silly Hollywood happy epilogue ending which, for me, contradicted the whole tone of the series. Looking forward to season 2, though.

In other news, HD trailer for Game of Thrones season 5 released:

Can't wait!

[Future17]

I can't recall Banshee getting a mention on here before but Season 3 is 4 episodes in and I love it.

It has a great anti-hero as lead, some cracking supporting characters (include some rather attractive ones) and the fight scenes are always epic.

In a week I've binge watched the walking dead up until the latest episode, I see it starts again at the weekend, I've really enjoyed it and think it's great, but those people that say it's better than Breaking Bad, the sopranos or Boardwalk are just mentalists

[Haymaker]

Just started on brooklyn nine-nine.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

3/4s of the way through Intruders starring John Simm, quite enjoying it but, after the first couple of eps had the potential to be much better.

[easty]

Just started on brooklyn nine-nine.

I dip in and out of that. It's like The Big Bang Theory for me, in that I do enjoy it, episodes are funny in their own right, but I don't feel the need to follow the whole series to see what happens.

[Future17]

We're 2 episodes into Season 2 of Black Sails and I think it's shaping up to be better than the first.

Great characterisation (with some excellent acting performances) and several different story arcs all tied together.

My only complaint is that they've changed the actor portraying one of the supporting cast and it jars in my mind when I see him which takes me out of the action.

Just managed to Watch Fortitude yesterday and thought it was very good but i also got the feeling that it was taking a turn towards the "supernatural" half way through to the point that i was thinking it would be a werewolf-polar bear that was responsible for the deaths.

Also, the trailer for Daredevil on Netflix has been released and im really looking forward to it, looks superb

[Stranraer]

Just finished Season 8 of HOUSE MD. which has occupied the last 3 or 4 weeks of my life, cracking series.

[cabbageandribs1875]

The walking dead returns tonight :)

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The walking dead returns tonight :)

Monday night on FOX.

[Mikey09]

Me and the Mrs have just finished the first 5 seasons of the walking Dead.... Anyone recommend another box set for us to binge watch?? Mind.... Suitable for us both!!

[Mikey09]

Sorry... Meant watched first 4 seasons of the walking dead. Watching 5th season now weekly.

Anyone else watch The Good Wife? Fantastic T.V.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

If the Mrs is happy to watch TWD you should give American Horror Story a go.

Thought about watching it last night but couldn't decide on anything. Is it decent?? A wee summary HUTCHY?!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Each series is completely different but, its pretty much the same actors playing different roles. It seems to get freakier as each series goes by. Its quite hard to explain without giving too much away, well worth a watch though.

Settings

Season 1 Haunted House
Season 2 Mental Asylum
Season 3 Witches Coven
Season 4 Freak Show

Jessica Lange is outstanding throughout.

What do you think? Season 1 is probably the poorest, though the young housemaid should keep your attention! Season 2 is outstanding, closely followed by 4 then 3.

[Stranraer]

Onto Season 3 of Breaking Bad, now I can see what nearly everyone I know has been raving about - absolutely love it and hooked already.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I cannae be bothered searching through the thread but, if Criminal Minds hasnae had a mention its a favourite of mine. Its onto about season 10 so it'll take a bit of catching up! :-)

Cheers HUTCHY. Will just watch them in order. You're right though.... Jessica Lange is fantastic in it! Every scene she is in is chilling yet mesmerising....

[patch1875]

She's superb in it, loved the first series but they have got steadily worse as its gone on. Have given up on the freak show one.

I gave up during S2 - couldn't stand the moral of the story but every week.

Ended up wanting most of the good guys to get killed.

[cabbageandribs1875]

nearly turned off episode 1 of better call saul, i thought it was incredibly slowwwww, but persevered, episode 2 was slightly faster, episode 3 was much better, i noticed the henchman from breaking bad(robert boikess) has been brought back to life and is the car park attendant in this :greengrin

That is kinda the point, exploring how he became the henchman of "Saul" as well as how Jimmy became "Saul" himself!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Watched the final ep of season 2 of Banshee last night, wtf was the shoot out in the church all about? The A-Team didnae waste that many bullets!

[Mikey09]

Just watched "Stop at Nothing: The Lance Armstrong Story." Absolutely fascinating stuff. If you get a chance to watch it you won't be disappointed. It's on Netflix.

Breaking Bad
The Walking Dead
The Killing
House of Cards
Bates Motel

Am onto Better Call Saul now.

[Godsahibby]

So I am off moby dick today. Had a look on Sky On Demand for a new box set to watch. Saw Downton Abbey, thought I would give it a try. Maybe not the most manly thing to say but hooked already half way through the first series!!!

[Stranraer]

To my surprise, House has lost it's seat at the top table, my top 3 are: 3. LUTHER 2. HOUSE MD 1. Breaking Bad, only wish I had listened to my brother and watched it a long time ago :cb

[Mikey09]

Anyone catch CITIZENFOUR last night?? A fantastic film. The Self proclaimed world police that is the United States Government really are the ****in lowest of the low. Self serving bunch of tossers. Land of the Free?? Aye, free to spy on whoever they want.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Love Banshee 3rd season here in the summer I think trying to avoid the people who are watching it downloaded from the states.

I'm up to speed with the US timeline of Banshee. I absolutely love it. Not sure if I've ever seen a more brutal show. There is a fight scene in season 3 to watch out for that involves Proctors right hand man. It is absolutely outstanding - and that episode in particular is simply outstanding TV.

The show has constantly kept a good pace, and they've done well to keep you rooting for the "sheriff" :wink:

Walking dead also superb, and after being a huge Breaking Bad fan, I am thoroughly enjoying Better Call Saul. I thought it was going to be much more comedic based on Saul in Breaking Bad, but it has the same kind of atmosphere as BB did and has been great so far.

I watched the first 2 of Fortitudem, and will watch a couple more tonight I think to try and get up to speed with it. It has potential, but seems a bit mad.

[patch1875]

We started to see in season 2 that his sidekick was a bit mental!

[Kavinho]

Best things I've seen ontv over the last10 years had been 24, The Wire and The Bridge (Danish/Swedish, with subtitles).
Only 2 seasons of about 10-13 episodes. I thought it was absolutely phenomenal. Can't believe no one's already mentioned it, although someone did mention the remake "The Tunnel"..

[goosano]

I've just watched the last episode of Wolf of Wolf Hall on catchup. For me it has been the best thing on TV for years. Absolutely outstanding acting and a subtle and intelligent series. the production too was brilliant. Clare Foy and Mark Rylance, I am sure will win a slew of awards for their performances

I also finished watching the end of Spiral on catchup. Episodes 10 and 11 were great but I found the ending disappointing and unconvincing-a shame as it had been excellent up till then

[Thief]

For me, the Sopranos, Lost and Breaking Bad were all perfect tens :-)
One thing that I don't think has been mentioned is Happy Valley. I missed it when broadcast as Sarah Lancashire is not really my cup of tea, but watched it on a recommendation. Outstanding performances and scenes that will take your breath away. Little wonder they're doing a second season.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Aye, it was good.

[Scouse Hibee]

I love the Musketeers :greengrin

[Danderhall Hibs]

I missed it when it was on all those years ago so now catching up with Spooks on Sony tv. Good programme.

That channels a nightmare (they showed the first 5 series, stopped for over a year then came back with series 7 - they've now stopped midway through that series as well now).

I don't think anyone's metioned "Endeavour" yet (Inspector Morse in his youth) - I think it's great.

I don't know if any of you will be able to get it with subtitles, but "Profilage" is a cracking French series - the main character is barking!

[Danderhall Hibs]

Quite impressed with the first ep of Banished which started on BBC2 last night.

I think I made it to the start of Season 3 of Scandal before I gave up. My girlfriend liked it and I did initially, but it basically became like watching the same episode every week after a while with the same annoying on/off relationships and love triangles. It wasn't so bad when they had a different client each week which brought in fresh characters and some good storytelling, but for some reason that stopped and it just became the same people with the same agendas making the same threats and declarations of love each week.

Finally, I don't think Kerry Washington is a very good actress. Certainly not good enough to carry the main role in something like this. There, I said it. :greengrin

That's the impression I get. Every time I catch part of an episode it's pretty much like others. Anyway.... Started watching The Island with Bear Grylls. I thought the men were bad enough on Wednesday night but Holy Moly, the Women made them look like survival experts last night!!! For anyone who hasn't seen it before it's a reality show. Last series Grylls dumped 14 men on a desert island in the pacific. There aim was to just survive for six weeks, make fire, shelter blah blah blah. There were complaints from Women asking why he had excluded them so this series he has 2 Islands, one for the guys and one for the ladies..... Last night he dropped the ladies off and lets just say they were nae Ellen MaCArthur!!!! :faf:

Its not finished yet but, season 1 & 2 of Vikings are awfy good!

Halfway through Season 3 and it's great. Not to mention Lagatha...:drool:


I agree absolutely love it.

Other favourites are Sons Of Anarchy which very few have mentioned, Suits, Prison Break and Breaking Bad. Just started watching Better Call Saul as well and loving it.

Sons of Anarchy has some of the best plot development across a season that you're ever likely to see. One of the few programmes where every action has a reaction until the season concludes. Very well written by Kurt Sutter.

I can't remember if The Following has had a mention on this thread before, but it's decent if unspectacular. It's actually a good concept, but suffers from being a bit predictable at times.

The main character, played by Kevin Bacon, is called Ryan Hardie...who I noticed came off the bench for The Rangers the other night. Perhaps it should be called The Follow Following....
