Ok, so Breaking Bad is drawing to a close. Sons of Anarchy has started again but that's just once a week at the moment.

Waiting for the new Game of Thrones. Started watching Boardwalk Empire and House of Cards but the wife wasn't that into them. Have pretty much watched most of Dexter. Perhaps not the last couple of seasons but ran out of energy with that.

What else is good?

Parks and Recreation.

The funniest thing to come out of HBO in a long time. Currently working through S4, and having to ration it to 2 shows a night.

The Killing - Shall check it out.
The Walking Dead - Seen it
The Wire - Seen it, wife couldn't understand what they were saying!
Homeland - Waiting for the next one.
Firefly - Wife loves it, I'm a bit meh
24 - Perhaps.
Shackleton - Haven't heard of this, will try it.
Prisonbreak - I watched it, loath as I am to admit it.

I watched the first couple of Mad Men, does it get better?

True Blood, isn't that rather cheesy? I think the wife has shown me some.

It's only 2 x 2 hour episodes, but great viewing if you're into that sort of thing.

The Killing - Shall check it out.

You need to give it time to bond with the characters. I was a bit meh until I'd watched half a dozen episodes, then it's very very engaging. I watched the American take on the Danish original, mainly because it received such good reviews.

Top Boy which finished last week was very good.

I have been very self controlled with Breaking Bad. Will have the whole season to bang through once the finale has aired. It's going to be a fun weekend.

Did anyone watch "The Returned" what that was on C4? Wicked little series. Oh wait, of course people did. I commented on a thread on here about it.

As an aside, am I the only one who sacked off The Walking Dead? Got halfway through season 1, and just thought it was stupid. Or, to be more descriptive, felt all the family exposition bullshit got in the way of the zombie fun times.

....that and Andrew Lincoln's accent 😡

Bike is beyond dead. Moving to Morzine in 2 months so not planning on replacing it for a little while. Plus, this is just for a couple of hours to wind down before bed. You can't ride all the time!!

Says the man posting on a cycling forum on the interweb. Shouldn't you be out riding? 🙂

Do people often nip out for a ride at 10pm in the middle of winter?

Mad men is a very slow burner, but the more you watch it the more absorbed you become. Took me till S2 to really care about anyone/anything in it.

Agents of Shield will be great it's Wheddon playing with characters and Superheros.

If I cycle home from work (everyday) can I treat myself with some TV please?

And it's on Netflix.

We watched the first Orange is the new black. It seemed very much to be written by 40 year old women, for 40 year old women. Perhaps I need to give it more time, it just dragged a lot!

Enjoyed the first series, but not enough to be bothered to watch the second.

OP: The first season of Heroes was quite good if you haven't seen it.

Haha fair enough Feefoo, I'll give it some more time.

Yeah the first series of Heroes was good, the second.....ok. The third? I don't think I finished it.

As an aside, I smoked a lot of ganja at uni so have seen most shows that came out or were prevalent around 2004 - 2008!!

Warehouse 13 lost it way, and it wasn't even serious to start with, very much like A town call Eureka, well ok that was cheesy rubbish from the start.

Jamie, I got about 3 episodes into Walking Dead before I gave up shouting at the TV for them to stop being so ****ing stupid. Got the comic books (pdf's) and couldn't even finish them, as I was still shouting...

Person of interest - ok it's just an updated Equalizer but I like it.
Justified - he doesn't like kill ppl, just enjoys filling them with HOT LEAD! (& Boyd's just ace)

Oldies:
Better off Ted - just search it out, I loved this show.
Battlestar Galatica - a proper proper Sci-Fi show with a little bit of god bothering
House - I don't care, I thought it was brilliant
Big Bang Theory - I've never watched a series but can sit down and watch any episode and enjoy it

I've really enjoyed Ray Donovan, not entirely sure why but I'm hooked.

Braqo (spelling?) is ace.

Loved the Shield when it was on. Loads of people liked Hannibal but I never could get into it.

The nerd in me is quite fond of Falling Skies too (my other half hates it).
