Did not find first episode of Wayward Pines very good. Will watch another few episodes to see if it gets any better.

Just finished Friday Night Lights, superb show, thoroughly enjoyed it. Didnt have a clue about American Football before it but alot more to it that that. 

 

Brilliant show - look out for Tim Riggins staring in the new True Detective in June.

Just started watching Fargo the other day.4 episodes in and I am really liking it.

It's brilliant isn't it? Malvo makes it for me.

 

Also, I was expecting it to be a remake of the movie but it is totally original. I learned that after about 20 minutes of episode one :lol: as I'm sure you did too - if you've seen the movie that is.

I've now tried 3 times to like Madman, furthest i've got is episode 4 of season 1.  Biggest load of crap ever.

 

Currently watching:-

 

Fortitude - came late to the party but am enjoying it very much.

Daredevil - at last a decent Marvel show (decent, not brilliant).

Gomorrah - Italian version of the wire sort of, superb.

Braqo - Crazy French polis, superb.

American version of "The Returned" - just not the same as the French one.

GOT - obviously

 

Looking forward to:-

 

The Man in the High Castle

Wayward Pines

The Whispers

Strikeback Season 5 - ffs hurry up

Dark Matter

Trued Detective Season 2

 

And a whole lot more.  Lots of interesting stuff coming out this year.

Never watched the movie but going to now as I thought the show was fantastic.Can't wait for season 2 but like True Detective it's a whole new cast with Kirsten Dunst one of the stars. Edited by vegas-voss

I did indeed, which is it why it was on the list, brilliant pilot.

Looking for something new to watch (again).

 

Have just caught up with Scandal and Suits. (Watched 4 seasons of Scandal in last month) Wayward pines looks decent, also quite fancy Outlander.

Currently watching Halt and catch fire. About a salesman a computer engineer and a coder in 1983 who build their own pc to try to take on IBM. Its good stars Lee Pace who was the bad guy in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Say What Again

Finished season 1 of Daredevil and season 2 of Black Sails. I thought both were excellent. I actually watched the whole season of Black Sails in 2 days while I was off work, I enjoyed it that much.

 

Also finished season 2 of The Blacklist, but to be honest I'm only watching that because i started watching it. I don't think it's all that great.

Season 1 and 2 are brilliant, loses it's way a bit after that. Think it was another one affected by the writers strike.

Very good.

Malinga the Swinga

Probably mentioned in previous posts but Banshee is different class. Just finished series 1 on catch up and about to start on season 2. Third season starts on Thursday night on Sky. Haven't found a hero yet, just various degrees of badness, but it has violence, sex and betrayal aplenty.

The whispers. Really promising U.S. sci fi about kids being controlled by an 'imaginary friend' who really is extra terrestrial and intent on invasion. Excellent Lilly rabe from American horror story in it too

Has anybody watched Sense8 on Netflix?

 

Any good?

I wanted to know as well as the trailer looked brilliant.

 

Finished the last season of The Following last night. Enjoyable season but I thought the ending was brilliant and was really looking forward to seeing the next season. Come on and found out it's been cancelled [emoji15]

 

Still finding out that Hannibal's back more than made up for it. One of the best things on the box.

Is orange is the new black any good?

 

Loads of people on here rate it highly. I watched 1st episode and couldn't really get into it. I might give it another try.

I found the characters really annoying. Gave up after a couple of episodes.

I think its excellent. Good characters, well acted, and some decent dark humour.

Heard good things about Friday night lights

Is it worth a watch?

Didn't think I'd like it as I'm generally not into stuff like that. One of the best things I've watched. Really enjoyable.

 

Quite a few young actors/actresses who went on to have big parts in films.

Season 1 is amazing... 2 is watchable, but agree that it deteriorates significantly after that

Started watching BBC Cold War drama called The Game. Apparently it started last year however very decent first episode.

 

There's another drama starting soon which looks brilliant called The Saboteurs.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but has anyone watched The League? Comedy show based around Fantasy Football. Quite good and funny in parts. Decent pass the time kind of show.

I've only just finished S1 and a couple episodes into S2 but I'm enjoying it, despite it being around Fantasy Football it's something anyone can watch, it's pure filth!

Ah Rafi is just introduced then. The league is one of those shows i can go back and easily binge watch. if you like American football based humour try Blue Mountain State.
