chipdawg Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 And so it continues to deliver. After a season of plot building, last nights episode just exploded into action. In terms of a set piece, that last 20 mins....wow. Just as shocking in its own right as last seasons trial by combat and of course the infamous Red Wedding. Must be one of the most epic action sequences I have seen on a TV show. They spend the huge budget wisely. Anyone else still following this? Yep. This series has been a bit slow this far, too many differing storylines that have required setting up at the same time, but last night was great. Someone important/popular/likeable is cruising for a murdering in the last two episodes, mark my words Equally as exciting, they played an extended trailer for the new series of True Detective in the adverts during GoT. Looks fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks fantastic I'm starting to think the Mrs cares more for Jon Snow than she does me! I would take great satisfaction at seeing either or both the Boltons coming to a gruesome end.

I think the one thing you can take for granted is that pretty much everyone will come to a grisly end eventually. No one is safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Can I withdraw that please? Breaking Bad is superb. I finally got around to watching it from scratch in the past month or so. I enjoyed it, but still preferred The Sopranos and The Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've got a bit behind in the Following, great series but as Phantom says not as good as the first...yet. Loving the Blacklist, very good. The actor who plays Redington (no idea who he is) is excellent. Saw the first episode of Wayward Pines last night, no idea hat was going on there but strangely addictive. My new fav for something totally different is Madam Secretary, very good and much better than I expected. Watched Fortitude a while back, kept watching trying to fathom it out. Wish I hadn't bothered. Stalker is another good one, very much like the Blacklist or the Following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Spader - agree he is outstanding in the role Really can't wait to see the next series after how it just finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Blacklist is pretty good, James Spader BTW RedM. IMDB is the font of all knowledge and a regular port of call when we watch anything. If you like a cowboy, I love Hell on wheels. Another favourite at the mo' is Justified. Phantom beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I brought a whole load of DVD's to Saudi to watch. One was "House of Cards" and was the complete season one. I watched the whole lot last weekend as it was brilliant. Now moved on to "The Following" which is looking good also. Series 1 was excellent, series 2 gets a little stupid towards the end, I'm about 3 into series 3, and I haven't watched one in weeks.....think I may be off it, which is a shame, because Kevin Spacey is fantastic in it....just got a little too unbelievable for my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I enjoyed it, but still preferred The Sopranos and The Wire. Both brilliant. I've got 3 seasons of Deadwood to watch once I'm done with the Following. West Wing was always a favourite also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Both brilliant. I've got 3 seasons of Deadwood to watch once I'm done with the Following. West Wing was always a favourite also Not tried Deadwood as yet, similarly not started on Dexter. Revisited all seasons of The West Wing a few months back, brilliant show, though it did decline, IMO, in the last 2 seasons. Whether a direct result of Sorkin leaving the show, not sure.

eastonboy Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I wouldn't get too attached to the Following (haven't watched it myself) as it is not being renewed. Recently watched VEEP, first three series, and found it fantastic- much the same vibe as Arrested Development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Ah James Spader, yes. I recognise the name now. I really think I have some sort of dyslexia for faces. I don't watch many films so I don't know if he was in anything else, must IMDB him, thanks. My family rib me like hell as I recently watched 2 films with George Clooney in and I didn't recognise him at all, not a clue, seriously. If he isn't selling coffee I haven't got a chance!

Robbored Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Not tried Deadwood Well worth it. Timothy Olyphant plays Seth Bullock in it and is brilliant. It's as near to how the Wild West really was I imagine. Shame it wasn't renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that I can't wait for the last one to be released. Luckily I have a mate that has series 7 on a memory stick. It took me ages to realise why I thought I recognised Gemma Teller, until the other day it hit me that she was the mum in Married With Children, who I had a total teenage crush on. As well as being the voice of Layla in Futurama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Usual crap: Corrie, Neighbours, Emmerdale, Real Housewives of Atlanta... But Brooklyn Nine Nine is sheer brilliance and I can't believe no one has mentioned The Big Bang Theory. Hilarious though previous seasons are better than the current. Also worth a shout is Supernatural if you like dark horror. Coming to the end of Series 9 on E4 but gripping nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Currently into Modern Family. Downloaded all seasons from Sky box sets. Only 20 mins each episode and quite consistent.
