      Couple of quick shouts of stuff I've watched recently - Still watching Banshee and watched the full three series so far and actually really enjoy it, it does get a bit silly at times, but you can't take everything seriously. Watched the final series of Justified, again another Tv series I think is very underrated.

      And watched the third series of Lilyhammer, still funny as f**k and plenty of murders going on - plus the special bonus of Paulie from the sopranos and Bruce Springsteen in the final episode of third series  ;)

      Banshee is F***ing immense! I haven't watched the Sopranos yet, is it any good?

      I'll tell you what's F***ing awesome as well, watch Bosch. F***ing loved it!

      I never watch much telly but about a month or so ago i thought i'd watch the first episode of Game of Thrones, what a F***ing mistake that was! I watched the whole four Seasons in a week!

      Breaking Bad was also a series i'd heard of but thought it wasn't my kind of thing. My mate told me to give it a try and i watched the whole five Seasons in 10 days! So F***ing addictive!

      Has anyone watched The Walking Dead? I've heard very mixed reviews on it so just wondering if it is worth a try?

      Disappointed with the decision not to renew The Following next year.

      Whilst I'm disappointed, it doesn't surprise me. The storyline seemed to be getting weaker as the episodes went on IMO, without Joe Carroll it's taken the edge away.

      I never really got into tne second season of it.

      For me it was always going to struggle to retain interest and develop the storyline.

      I haven't watched Game Of Thrones apart from the first 3 episodes and am in the middle of watching Breaking Bad for the second time.

      I think I've watched The Sopranos from beggining to end at least 5 or 6 times now.

      Trust me on this. Watch Game of Thrones, it is immense. Like i said earlier i started watching it about a month or so ago. Never interested me before, thought i'd give it a go. Next thing you know i'm in the man cave at 3 in the morning giving it the old 'one more episode'. F***ing awesome.

      Downloaded them off Kickass, uber quality HD.

      It's on my list mate. Just have to find the time.

      Trust me on The Sopranos.

      Finished watching the first 3 seasons of Homeland - waiting for Netflix to add season 4.

      I'm still watching Lilyhammer and just started with The Shield.

      Started watching The Messengers last night, surprisingly I like it considering its religious theme.

      One of the best series that will be made around the mafia.

      And imo yeah - so many boss performances throughout the whole series.

      It's easily my number one TV show HR.

      I'm rewatching Breaking Bad at the minute and while it's still great telly it doesn't grip me the way The Sopranos did even now that I'm probably on my 6th or 7th time watching it through.

      I never got round to watching The Sopranos.
      I missed the first few episodes, and then didn't bother trying to catch up.

      With so many recommendations, I think I'll have to rectify this.

      Seriously Diego you have to, very powerful ending in many different ways.

      Echo's what Rodd says too amongst the usual shouts of Sopranos and The Wire, The Shield can easily sit alongside these two as one of best tv series ever.

      Had the full series for must be two years now and still not started it.

      How far in are you?  Not watching anything great at the moment, just rewatching some old favourites, Star Trek, Angel & Sliders. Sliders is ridiculous, but I do like the premise and it certainly goes down hill after John Rhys-Davies leaves.

      I've watched 8 episodes of the first season. It's one of those shows that grabs you right from the start - well, that's what it did to me.

      Lilyhammer has taken a back seat, because I'd much rather watch The Shield and Daredevil has been temporarily postponed.

      I was trying to find it in decent quality online, but couldn't.

      I'd like to see if I like it before buying the box set. Got too much clutter in here already ;D

      The Mrs has a ban on me buying stuff until I get rid of some clutter.

      If this sounds like I'm hen pecked, it's probably right.
      On the other hand, she's probably right about the clutter. Just counted 6 atomisers, coiling tools, 32 bottles of juice and 3 mods (all for vaping) lying around, plus box sets, CD's, books and magazines strewn everywhere.
      My office is not very tidy  :laugh:
