The Enfield haunting 3 part series was ok.
Resurrection looks Ok.
Dunno if its been mentioned already but Empire with Terrence Howard in it is pretty good, being on for a few weeks now on E4 and its worth checking out.
Finished Fortitude last week thought it was pish.
Anyone watching Wayward Pines? Watched the first one last night and it looks like it could be decent.
Yeah, I've saw the first three, enjoying it so far.:agree:Quote:

It's got beyond the ridiculous stage but, I've quite enjoyed it.Quote:

I've just finished watching Dexter at last and absolutely loved it - I resonate far too much with the character right enough but it was an excellent show :agree:
Currently working through Arrow, The Flash, Person of Interest, Homeland and Daredevil...that little thing called work is making for slow progress.
Yes - we've been watching that as well. Quite good.Quote:

You'll need to watch Arrow and The Flash in order of their original airing dates as there are quite a few crossover episodes particularly once Arrow reaches Season 3.Quote:

Yeah, I've been quite careful so far - friend of mine watched them in real-time and made the same recommendation when I reached S3 of Arrow.Quote:

Anyone rate "24" and "The Unit"? Both on Netflix and was thinking of starting one of them.
Season 3 of Hannibal starts next week on Sky, you can get the first episode through on demand just now
The Unit is awesome.Quote:

It's a new story with new characters from the first season. This season stars Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams.

It's no very good. I liked the first one too, but the second one is rubbish.Quote:

Just starting Season 3 of Hannibal :hyper
always thought that if you painted a white skull on the leads shirt it would have been a pretty decent "punisher" movie :agree:Quote:

I started a Netflix original series last night, Bloodline - already deliberating whether or not to continue as the first episode was a slow experience.
Having watched all 12/13 episodes Id find it difficult to recommend. Same producers as Damages and uses a lot of the same tropes which get a bit tiresome.Quote:

Better off with Peaky Blinders or OINTB if looking for something on Netflix
I really enjoyed it, there's been a few of the recent Netflix originals that have barely lasted 5mins recently but I thought that bloodline was one of the better onesQuote:

Mrs J and I watched bloodline and eventually got into it, loved peaky blinders and Bosch but have struggled to find anything recently. Tonight sees the return of orange is the new black so we are happy for at least a week!Quote:

Fair warning in advance - S4 of Prison Break is fairly brutal...Quote:

Stonemouth on bbc catch up. First episode of a 2 part adaption of iain banks second last novel. Seems pretty good so far and reasonably faithful to the book by the look of it.
First part was quite good, why not get a Scottish punter to play the main part of Scottish punter though?Quote:

Wasn't keen on the actors in Stonemouth, thought it was poorly made. I'm running out of things to watch now, Orange is the new Black is quite good but I am thinking of buying WEEDS Season 1. Anyone watched it?
I've taken to watching old episodes of The Fast Show and Big Train on Youtube.
Yeah I was quite disappointed by the second half of stonemouth after what I thought was a good start.Quote:

Was decent enough and will certainly keep watching, but the main reason I bring it up is that one of the moons in the fictional system where it is set is called Leith. There is another moon called Westerley and part of the dialogue referred to all the "Westerlies" aspiring to live on Leith. :greengrin
I just wonder if someone on the creative team has an Edinburgh connection...
Watched s03 ep01 of Hannibal last night, its becoming to be self-indulgent nonsense on behalf of the writers methinks, could be a season too many for me if it continues like this.
I don't think it improves and I think that's why NBC cancelled it.Quote:

Its really well made (must be like porn for Goths) and Madz is outstanding but, not sure where it can go now, I won't mention the storyline much since you are on s01, I doubt too many of us know much about pre-renaissance Florentine characters though! :-)
Me too, Big Train in particular.Quote:

Anyone watch true detective season 2 the other night? Thought it was good a bit quicker off the mark than season 1 looks like it could be another good watch
The new series of orange is not really doing it. Will finish it cos it may get better. Mrs PJ hasn't watched sopranos, prison break, shield or wire. I have watched complete sopranos and wire, first two plus a few prison breaks and a few shield eps. We need an addictive series so what would the best bet be, revisit old friends or start a new series, if so what?

The Affair has been pretty good. 2 episodes left and it's building up nicely towards a decent conclusion I hope.

New show started called 'The Brink' with Tom Robbins and Jack Black. political comedy. Watched the first couple and it is effing brilliant.
Watched the rest of the series thought it was greatQuote:

Someone mentioned Black Sails earlier in the thread, I'm half way through season 2 its awfy good. Hannah New, say no more! :-)
DEXTER. Overshadowed along with Weeds by Breaking Bad but it's actually quite good.
I think I can take the credit for that one. :greengrinQuote:

Watched one episode of The Brink and it was great.
Currently addicted to Person of Interest featuring Jim Caviezell and Michael Emerson!
Excellent show!
Great show. I'm on season 3 now and it's been getting better each season.Quote:

Binged Veep season 4 this week on Sky on demand. Best season yet and getting close to the genius of The Thick of It.
Also watching Orphan Black which is decent sci-fi type show elevated by amazing performance by the lead actress who plays 5/6 parts...it's about clones! Bit more lightweight than what I'd usually watch but it's a well told story so far.
Looking forward to new Fargo and Peaky Blinders seasons later in the year
I'm trying to persevere with Under the Dome but, ep1 of season 3 is making me question if its worth it.
I believe its been cancelled after 1 season.Quote:

You'll either be bawling your eyes out or totally pissed off...definitely an ending that split the fans/critics!Quote:

What should I watch next?
Luther
The Unit
24
Sons of Anarchy
What channel is that on ?Quote:

Hopefully that's vague enough to clear up your question without giving any spoilers away! The network were never going to allow him to be killed off incase they want to revive the show :agree:

The Unit had the problem of no real through story, when it did it was great but either over in 2 episodes or right at the end. Loved it though.Quote:

Yeah, I'd agree with that. It feels like ages since I watched it but, IIRC, it actually got better the longer it went on as some of the characters were allowed to develop more.Quote:

Dexter was brilliant, watching prison break again as Mrs pj hasn't seen it, amazing just how much I had forgotten about the plot and characters
Is Luther worth watching? Shocked how short it is!
