All time favourite TV Series for me would be; The West Wing Breaking Bad (although the first series was pretty slow!) Shameless - bit like Marmite and the 4th or 5 series was utter tosh The Band Of Brothers The Pacific (although not quite as good as Band of Brothers) Cracker - loved it, Robbie Coltrane was excellent House of Cards - US version, too young for the British, LOL Boss - Loving it so far, although the 2nd series wasn't quite up to the level of the 1st. Ultimate Force - with Ross Kemp - I loved it  The Planman - another Robbie Coltrane show shot over 2 1-1/2 hour episodes, excellent Grey's Anatomy Private Practice - Not quite as good as Grey's Anatomy but still up there. Only Fools and Horses - has to be on the list Knightrider - returns me to my childhood A-Team - again one from my childhood I also really enjoyed Fargo - bit screwed up but it was excellently acted throughout and kept me interested |

New series of Ray Donovan starts Tues, the first series was good. Jon Voight's particularly good.

I've only just stumbled on
The Inbetweeners
Incredibly funny very often, and not too far off the truth either

Agree re Fargo - Malvo was pure evil!
Really enjoying the re-run of Edge of Darkness on BBC4. Loved it first time round in the 80's.

I've started recording "Thorne - Sleepyhead" a 3-parter on Pick. I've read the book(s) and loved them. Has anyone seen the series?

No sorry, I've never heard of it. (Or the books, for that matter)

The books are by Mark Billingham and are well worth reading if you like the genre. |

Flashforward is still doing it for me. Not much viewing left for the summer so I'll trawl Sky Box Sets some more.

I'm down to the final episode of Flashforward and must admit I am hooked. Bugger, only one left to explain everything. Probably won't, of course, as is the way these days. Will read the book next.

Report back when you have seen that episode.......... Brilliant! I can't think that they could have made it better, bearing in mind that they didn't know the show was going to be cancelled. |

So George R Martin kept a pic of Titus after 2nd eldest met him at the book festival. Think he will be inspiration for something. Mrs Chris now reckons we have our own Dire Wolf.
Whatever that is.

Wasn't expecting that. I (we) grew more disenchanted as it dragged on to the conclusion - which I confess I forgot as I was so disconnected from it at the end |

No one watching Utopia then ?
Very violent, fascinating, very well shot and framed and you don't quite know what's next
