Dexter - improves over the series.


Mad Men - excellent.


Breaking Bad - just wish I liked any of the characters.


True Blood - occasionally a bit too daft but good fun.


Game of Thrones - this is my no-no (personal taste)


Bones - light entertainment but fun


Elementary - is this out yet as a box set?

We've not watched these yet, but are going to look at


Luck - Starring Dustin Hoffman. Mobster getting involved in horse racing. Think it's only had one season so far.


Big Love - About a Mormon with 3 wives. Finished now, but I think there were 5 seasons.


Veep - Comedy about a vice president's office


All HBO.

Highly recommend "Big Love". We're up to season 4 (of 5). It has a bit of everything,mobsteresque power struggles, plenty of comedy, a bit of politics, and lots of family drama. Really really good.


What is great about it is how it makes you feel about the characters. You can feel so sorry for one whilst thinking she's a total cow. You can think the main bloke is a total selfish shit, yet you're behind him. Give it a go. It might not grab you with the first episode, but give it a fair shot and see if you get in to it. We definitely have in our house.

Walking Dead is worth a watch. The first season is the weakest of the three so far but is only 6 episodes long and acts as more of an extended pilot, the characters are significantly more fleshed out in seasons 2-3. The zombies are a bit of a MacGuffin as it focuses primarily on the collapse of society and an individual groups reaction to it. Its quite affecting watching the main players slowly unravel as the latest atrocity slaps them around the face. Nicely written and not afraid to bump off lead characters. All that and Egg from This Life. Nice.

    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
    • It’s hardly likely you know that for a fact Sue
    • I know an instance where the foxes quickly learned how to avoid such devices. 
    • I did read the comments above It's not moaning, it's stating facts. Tell you what,  you can come and clear up the near daily fox crap and see how you like dealing with it, no didn't think that would appeal to you.  Do they control rodents?  Foxes are vermin.  It's an emotive topic for some, I realise that, however the facts are foxes are a pest.
