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.Quote:

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

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....
Anyone checked out daredevil on Netflix? Currently powering my way through it, it's brilliant. There is a fight scene in the 2nd episode that's as good as anything I have seen on a tv show

I've not got involved in either of those. Hannibal is worth a watch, season 3 due along in the summer and as stated earlier I'm really enjoying Vikings.Quote:

Would definately recommend this series but would say its not for kiddies as some of the stuff even made me wince while watching it :greengrin
I didn't watch GoT when it was first on, instead i had recorded 4 or 5 episodes on the sky box before i got round to watching it, by the time i had finished them i was hooked and its just got better and better as it has gone on, stick with it :agree:Quote:

I meant to mention Elementary too, Johnny Lee Miller is outstanding as Sherlock, don't know anyone else that watches it though. :-)Quote:

We'll probably have to wait on the lassie that plays Moriarty being bumped off on GofT before she comes back.
I watched the first 2 seasons but it became a bit samey so I've binned it.Quote:

I've not got round to watching last weeks ep yet, you can always rely on Jimmy McGovern though.Quote:

I don't watch GofT but, happened to notice a pleasant picture of her in Tuesday's Metro promoting it.Quote:
