JudyJudyJudy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Oldy but a goody is a series from America called 'Weeds'. Follows a suburban Mum who's husband dies, so she gets in to selling drugs to pay the bills. Just spirals further out of control over quite a few series, really good though. I agree with what you say about this show. It does indeed spiral out of control after a couple of series. I stopped watchng it as it became just stupid and unbelievable.

dougal Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Has anyone watched Tyrant? Any good? Seen season 2 advertised on fox last night and it thought it looked decent. Watched the first series. Thought it was pretty good. Not watched any of the 2nd series yet. Just finished watching Wayward Pines. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A bit different but definitely worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEHEART1874 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The minority report show based on the Tom cruise film first couple of episodes are good anyways. The new heroes reborn has so far 4 of the same actors from the original series and seems to be getting better as the episodes go along. I am still waiting on new series of black sails/ hell on wheels/ better call Saul / daredevil/ but until then Gotham will have to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil38 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Looking for something new to watch. I've seen all the old favourites like 24, sopranos, lost etc just finished Fringe and currently up to date with Game of Thrones, the following and the blacklist. Anyone recommend something else? (Tried breaking bad but got to episode 5 and gave up!) You gave up on breaking bad, oh dear, nevermind, sounds like you need something which you can get instant enjoyment out of, i reccomend the comedy series "its always sunny in Philadelphia" easy short episodes great fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas-voss Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Also Marvels the defender's and iron fist getting made for Netflix.Think all the characters from the Marvel Netflix shows form the part of the Defenders tv show.Its pretty much like the Defenders is the tv equivalent of Avengers although so far i think it is far better than the Avengers universe. The Punisher is also getting his own Netflix show after season 2 of Daredevil has aired although he will be appearing in season 2 of Daredevil. Also Iron Fist being made and maybe Blade.

Rudolf's Mate Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Got round to watching Mr Robot. Admittedly it gets to a point (early doors) whereby your thinking wtf however it gets stronger as it goes on. Thought it was weird but really, really good. Also watched all Fear the Walking Dead. Decent and worth watching and definitely got potential. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Glad someone mentioned Elementary; really enjoy this series and how characters develop. Watch The Leftovers but it is hard going as the story is going nowhere and we are well into season 2. The dead woman who keeps appearing to Kevin was a pain when she was alive and is even more so now. Looking forward to Blindspot starting this week. On season 4 of Sons of Anarchy but agree with poster above who didn't like Gemma. If she and her stupid husband Clay would just go away and leave everyone else alone, things would be a lot better for the rest of the Sons.

I was telling Jack the other day that it took me 3 attempts to get into SOA. First 2 attempts I just couldn't get beyond episode 2/3 at all. A mate of mine constantly badgered me to give the first season a chance and I remember getting to around episode 7/8 and it just turning. The Irish season was pretty grim though however, as you've said it just gets better and better. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Watched first episode of Blindspot and quite enjoyed it. Look forward to seeing how it develops over next few weeks. I also have to admit that on a Thursday night, I have a guilty secret. I really like watching 'First Dates' on C4. Appreciate it isn't most people's cup of. Tea but some of the couples make me laugh as they try to make an impression on each other. I also think one of the waitresses is a bit of a looker.

Say What Again Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Il get to Jessica Jones shortly. Having never been a comic book fan (examples off the top off my head, Agents of Shield, Gotham), Netflix nailed Daredevil. I'm not now going to run about arguing with folk that the Green Lantern would take the Silver Surfer etc, but I'll watch tv shows I like.

I tend to always wait until a seasons finished so I can rattle through them. As a result I really haven't seen the dips as badly as others who watch it as its aired. If i watch a weaker episode it's generally gone as I've moved onto the next and quickly forgotten about. Others are stuck with it for a week!

I'm on the last episode of season 1 and tbh it's not been bad but I agree there is some nonsensical stuff. I'm kind of into it a bit with the characters so I'll persevere a bit longer.
