Halfway through series two of The Walking Dead now. It would want to get better.

About the point the show started to fall away. Series 1 and maybe the first half of Series 2 were good though.

Oh joy. Think I might get started on Breaking Bad instead.

[The Dark Knight]

i thought the finale of offspring last was very well done. Missus was crying and it wasn't even 5 minutes into the show.

It was indeed. My missus was already crying 5/10 minutes in aswell.

Two new comedy's opened strong on the ABC last night.

Upper Middle Bogan pulled 927k and It's A Date followed with 877k.

UMB was more of the same from Hope & Butler so if you like their shtick, you'll like this (I don't and didn't!)

IAD was a big surprise. A really funny Aussie comedy. No, really.

A. Funny. Aussie. Comedy.

And Michael & Pippa were finally reunited...

Ray Donovan is an excellent show .. Some pretty funny bits in tonight's episode

Wonderland AKA Secret Life in Bondi was dismally dull.

Baby-Boomers trying to make something hip/cool/funny for the young-uns.

Explains T-Rex in the wedding montage...

Has anyone been watching Banshee on Fox 8? It's kind of got a bit of "Roadhouse" about it. It's junk, but entertaining enough, especially with Ivana Milicevic

[The Ash Man]

Watched the pilot of Low Winter Sun last night, not bad

Yeah I raved about it some time ago (downloaded episodes).
While it's all a bit unrealistic, the mix of opposing interests makes for some interesting conflict along the way.
Not sure where it's up to here, but you should still have some pretty decent episodes to come.

Banshee - If you like fightin n **** than this is the show for you.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Orange is the new black.

Power Games was alright.

Lachy Hulme looked more comfortable as Sir Frank than Kerry.

Can't wait until he plays Gretel...

[Magpiespower]

Chris Lilley has a new show coming out.

Reprises the role of Ja'mie.

Yeah, nah...

Much better than I expected. Will tune in this week for the sequel.

Anyone else see the dexter finale??? if so thoughts?

[Kahuna]

Anyone else see the dexter finale??? if so thoughts?

Ordinary and unsatisfying. The show has gone well past it's use by date.

Edit-- This quote from another forum sums it up for me--

"What makes this worse is that the thought that maybe all eight years was the dystopian dream of a bored middle-aged lumberjack, and that would actually have been better than what we got!"

2nd Edit-- Interesting alternate ending?--
