Donnie Whalberg makes a decent cop and I like Tom Selleck but Blue Bloods is just full of corn, and is probably the most unrealistic cop show ever. All crimes are easily solved with 24hours and the whole set up with the three generations at the family dinner every week plus the general moralising throughout the show bores me to tears.

Yeah it's so predictable. Tom Selleck just sits there sipping his bottle of Bud saying 'Although I'm your father I am also your commissioner so I cannot comment'.

Guhhhhhhhhhh

So much TV to watch.

Here is a list of stuff i like/liked, in no particular order.

Generation Kill
Band of brothers
The shield
Dexter
Breaking bad
Sons of anarchy
Sopranos
Prison break
Deadwood
Game of thrones
Walking dead
Falling skies
The unit
Burn notice
Justified
Spartacus

Stuff that i like tbh................people keep telling me to watch the wire, watched a couple but couldnt get intoo it, maybe need to get into it more.

The Wire is probably the best ever TV series ever made. That's all good and well but be prepared as once you watch that you will hold all other crime dramas up to that level and will in most cases be sorely dissapointed.

this one started on syfy the other night and i managed to catch it by chance.
alpha's it called and its from the makers of x-men.maybe its a bit like heroes but to early to know and ill definitely give the second episode a look.

when i searched for the link i actually realised its a year old so more than likely aired in the states already.
anyone else see it?

Yeah I quite enjoyed Alphas , looking forward to season 2 which should be coming out soon

For anyone interested here is TV line renewal scorecard for 2012 with those USA shows renewed, axed and still in limbo

I thought alphas was pretty weak.

Breakout Kings has potential but the Bridge is one of my new faves.
It's a Danish/Swedish drama about a body that is found on a bridge between Denmark and Sweden. Great first 2 epsiodes last night on bbc4

As good as it was it's definitely the most overhyped TV series ever made.

( mostly by it's fans.    )

I loved the Wire but for me it was let down by a very weak last season.

Fringe season 4 has been really good so far!!! I'm going to watch Episode 21 tonight.

Game of Thrones is still building up, S2 Ep4 is the best out of the bunch so far

MH mate you see  Fringe has been renewed for a final fifth season with 13 episodes so there will be s conclusion which hopefully doesnt involve a smoke monster

Been enjoying Game of Thrones but Im  sort of wishing I hadnt read the books now

Yeh Laza I heard about that, it's a shame that they are going to cut the series early, it has a great story and great characters

Yeah Im actually pretty happy with a getting a finale MH. I really enjoyed the show and the way they have kept a fairly creditable storyline but they have struggled with ratings.

Has anyone else been watching the Bridge?

Got it on my list Daws, soon as I find a decent torrent I'll check it out   

Started to watch 'American house of horrors' or something like that - I think that's what it's called.

Basically, it's er, very American.

And, it's er, very weird.

And, it's er, keeping me intrigued, worth a watch.
