    I would bunch The Blacklist in with Arrow, they are dragging the story out for far too long, I still quite enjoy it though.
    Not sure if you're up-to-date with The Blacklist but the first 9 episodes of Season 3 have been a vast improvement on Season 2 which definitely dragged.

    Bit behind the times, started watching Breaking Bad, watched 2 episodes so far, not overly convinced.
    I've heard its a slow starter but gets really good, is it worth sticking with it?

    I've tried a few times but never got into it, problem for me as its now quite a few years old it seems a bit dated.

    For those who like Grey's Anatomy, watch Rookie Blue. Best described as a police version of Grey's.

    I never particularly liked it and never seen the hype behind it. The story does pick up in the later seasons but It was a real chore to get there I felt.

    Having said that, I'm the same with Game of Thrones - do not get the hype at all. It's cliche-ridden fantasy, written by a writer who can't handle character development beyond a point (hence why he kills so many people off - he keeps writing himself into corners!).

    I've just started watching Boardwalk Empire (again, another "behind the times" viewing) and I've enjoyed it so far. Very high-production quality.

    Been a huge fan of Arrow and Flash since the beginning but I too felt that Arrow lost its way somewhere along the line. I was still enjoying Flash but ended up getting sidetracked from watching it. On the note of comic-based series', my wife and I are half-way through Jessica Jones. It's alright but just seems to bumble along. There are only three really likeable characters in it for me, which means I struggle to sustain interest.

    Finally, patch, I tried to watch 100 Code and got about 25 minutes into it. Wasn't for me - simply couldn't take Dominic Monaghan seriously with that American accent, which melted quickly into British whenever there was action combined with dialogue!

    Never heard of Boardwalk Empire, gets really good reviews though, definately going to give that a try.
    Never watched Arrow but did however watch the Flash, felt i was missing bits because I never got the full story.
    That and the fact that they seem to be milking the franchise to death by adding another show (Legends of Tomorrow) i decided to stop watching it.

    Legends of Tomorrow first episode was average I thought. Felt like Arrow meets Doctor Who didn't draw me in too much.

    I liked Jessica Jones, wasnt nearly as good as Daredevil but it was a very different kind of show.

    The biggest problem i had with it was i liked Kilgrave far far more than i liked Jessica and Luke Cage was ace in all the scene's he was in meaning the main hero wasn't even the best or most interesting character in her own show.

    I think they went too far with the b**tchy attitude she has and i ended up having no sympathy for her despite them trying to show she was suffering from PTSD.

    On the plus side Daredevil season 2 is coming in a couple of months and Jon Berenthal is going to kill it as the punisher

    Just started watching Occupied on SKY Arts, another sub-titled show with a bit of potential.

    Now that we are a few episodes further in I can't recommend the 2 subtitled shows I've mentioned on the last page or two highly enough, both outstanding.

    Just recently finished Daredevil - took me two efforts as I didn't appreciate the first time around just how dark it would be...I'm usually really comfortable with on-screen violence (my wife calls me Dexter!) but that one scene in episode 4 (I think?) had me wincing...

    That's the problem with it for me too - I don't think they've quite got the right balance that the comics give you. Looking forward to Luke's series when it arrives but JJ, whilst watchable, hasn't blown me away.

    Bones
    The Blacklist
    Modern Family

    I quite enjoyed the first episode of X-Files.

    Think Ive mentioned it before, but The Good Wife is back on. Sure it's in its 7th season and it's never dipped and still has huge U.S. Ratings.

    Is anyone watching 100 code? I'm 3 episodes in - seems decent but just wondering if it's worth sticking with?

    I'm really jealous, wish I could watch the Sopranos for the first time all over again, it really Kickstarted the premise that TV could be an equal of film for me, absolutely sensational show which is still in my top 3 of all time

    I never watched that but I don't really like him either. Not sure why they don't get an American to play the part of an American cop.
