General tv discussion thread - good, bad, axings etc etc

Glad someone mentioned House of Cards, shaping up to be a Breaking Bad-beater IMO. The start of season 2 is ridiculously good. Netflix released all 13 eps in one hit over the weekend so some serious binge action coming up this week. Walking Dead is still dreadful but for some reason I keep watching it. I recommend that BBC series In The Flesh as an interesting take on the zombie apocalypse

I love house of cards

best show ive ever seen!

[mighty_tiger_79]

downloading season 2 now

will go back through and watch season 1, as I overdosed on it last year which seems so long ago

Worth watching. The writing is the real star of the show, though the character Olivia munn plays is what a nerds wet dream consists of (ie my wet dream)

I would probably go;

Game Of Thrones
True Detective
The Wire
Ray Donovan
Boardwalk Empire
House Of Cards

True Blood I still watch, but it's pretty lame oh and Sons I still enjoy, but I don't think it's as quality as those others I've listed.

I've never even seen an episode of the Sopranos, gotta get around to that someday.

[bennymacca]

Yeah I haven't seen the sopranos either, which is the other show commonly mentioned as one of the best ever, will watch it one day

[Q.]

Oz is right up there for me.

Think I'm the only person not to have watched Game of Thrones...I've come close but...I dunno...so many people like it, it must be good right? But then, lots of people liked Roxette...

Tell me, do you have to be into Tolkein, elves and hobbits and shires and stuff? Cos if so I really can't do it...

[Jimmy_041]

Sopranos
West Wing
Breaking Bad
House of Cards (UK)
House of Cards (US)
Vikings - I hope they continue it
Downton Abbey
The ANZACS

Just starting Ray Donovan
I got lost in Game of Thrones

[bennymacca]

Nah you really don't. The biggest barrier is that it is incredibly complex if you haven't read the books (which I haven't) so you spend half of the first season wondering wtf is going on. So if you make it past that you will be hooked

I haven't watched Game Of Thrones either, it hasn't really grabbed my attention with the ads etc


and the West Wing I thought was quite good, but House Of Cards seems to have it covered IMHO for political drama

i was like you both.... Then i finished what ever series i was watching at the time and thought why not, haven't regretted it for a second... Do yourself a favor...

[Johno6]

I was probably the last person on earth to get into breaking bad, and I am hooked big time.



but my fav shows would include, Senfeld, Workaholics, Family Guy, Breaking Bad.

That's just a handful off the top of my head.

[mighty_tiger_79]

well House of Cards season 2 has just finished downloading will go back and watch season 1, for Kate Mara if for nothing else!

It looks like I need to get into the following

THe Newsroom (which I downloaded and put it somewhere!!)
Game of Thrones
Breaking Bad

Lol reading the books is just as confusing .. Zippy, it's like a Tarentino version of LOTR
