I was disappointed that they didn't have more around the family's reaction, interaction with the CIA etc. They sort of did a cut and shut. Season 4 has train wreck written all over it for mine. How often has a huge change in personnel been detrimental to shows? BUT I will watch it and hope for the best because if it regains it's season 1 grittiness, I'll happily eat my words.


A little preview has been released for the upcoming season. I hope it is the opposite to movies where they show the best bits in the clips and the movie stinks, as the "teaser" doesn't really get me too excited.

Probably already been done, but 'Orange Is The New Black' entered the playlist last night and it is quite a decent show...

Only problem with this is it has too much nudity.... :roll:

True Blood

I enjoyed the early series', for humour and gratuitous bewbs .. Then it started to get ordinary, followed by really ordinary then downright appalling.

Has finally received the stake through the heart it needed about 3 seasons sooner.

Agree WB, was a fantastic series, really enjoyed it.

To me it really brought home that we overlook the fact that young women also sacrificed five years of their youth to the War, and that we owe them a great amount of gratitude too.
