Grimm is ok but its really just Supernatural without the laughs so far. Walking Dead is better than ever. It should be more drama than zombies, builds the tension more.

Cheers Daws I'll take a look at Friday Night lights.

I'm still following all the usual stuff at the moment, Supernatural, Walking Dead, Californication etc, my current fave's are probably Justified,( about US Marshalls and loads of Hillbilly's/Rednecks the deep south), and Southland( a fairly good drama about LA cops on the beat).

Check out Southland for a really good cop show, and if you love the subtitles, Borgen is the best political drama since The West Wing

I liked Friday Night Lights, the 1st 2 seasons anyway. It gets kind of repetitive after that but I would recommend the 1st 2 seasons at least. The show I think came about as a spin off from a movie which I believe was inspired by true events.

That is a very apt description, I been watching and sort of enjoying  it but the lead actor seems so bland

Didnt think much of Californcation when it first started up but its picked its game for me in last few weeks or possibly its just hot babysitter keeping me interested   :D

Thumbs up for Justified, quality show.

:no

It starts well Laza , and given the scenario, ie. building the first railway across the USA it could have been a "great" show but for me somehow it just doesn't roll far enough.


@RedSi
Yeah mate the Shield is brilliant, my all time number 1 cop show. Fk it ! now that you've reminded me I'm gonna have to watch it again   :D

Say it isnt so Woof

As I said I only watched first episode but with no name stranger on vengence quest, ruthless rail baron full of skullduggery, wonderful Indian costumes and warpaint, brutal indian attack and wonderful location shots.
Thought it was going to be a winner

The new cable channel downunder is also showing series one of Walking Dead, cant believe how first two episodes had more drama, tension and action then first half of second series.

I've been watching Homeland and it's kept me intrigued, pretty good.

Alcatraz is the new Lost. Except, I bet those producers have written the ending to Alcatraz and actually know where they are going this time.

I watched the first few episodes and couldnt watch any more.

Its just humdrum alien invasion fare. Very cliche



On another note, caught an episode of a tv show called Grimm the other night.

Was actually ok, About a cop who has An ability to see that some people are actually monsters. Fairytale, fantasy, drama thriller type.

Not bad

Grimm is basically supernatural without the humour, but its not bad

I liked Falling Skies, was harmless, better than terra nova

New Girl is my favourite sitcom now HIMYM and BBT are on hiatus

Walking Dead is awesome as ever
NCIS and Castle are steadily good

There are too many good shows on tv.
