It's completely fair to stop watching a show you don't like. Still think it's a bit silly to answer "it's all rubbish" when I said I loved season 4 - a season you haven't seen.

This season I'm already three episodes behind, and that's not a good sign. I usually never wait.

Well this is true, I've no idea if the stuff I missed is rubbish. Still considering who they killed off between seasons this year I'm glad I quit, that was one of their best characters and would've pissed me off no end.

I loved that character, my favorite by far. That's quite possibly the reason I no longer feel any need to watch it this season (although I do watch it since it's the last). Also, if "killed off between seasons" means off-screen literally between the seasons, that is wrong. The character was killed on-screen.

Edit: Just saw the first episode of Utopia. Never heard of it anywhere except in this thread. Really liked the pilot.

QuincyAbeyie

What the fuck.. Watched four episodes of Utopia and now I read it's been cancelled. Never should have bothered, can't stand watching things without proper endings.

really? that's shit. i'm yet to start season 2, but season 1 was great

Aparamesh

I am gutted about it being cancelled as well. I suggested the show before that was announced. Its a great show and such a shame. It well worth watching Series 2 as well @Wilshere.

David Fincher is slated to direct/produce the US version of Utopia.

QuincyAbeyie

I will definitely watch the second season, too exciting to stop watching voluntarily.

At least David Fincher is someone who fits the series (in my opinion), even though it will probably be one of those "directs one episode and produces the rest" kind of deals.

Utopia cancelled is a travesty. The story arc is not finished yet. Hopefully someone else picks it up.

I've been away!

Still... I'm only cautiously optimistic. It's hard to see how it won't be a let down. Are they going to use the cast from before? Feel like they're screwed either way on that front.

Also I couldn't stand Inland Empire, looked like it had been shot on an old iphone.

Latest Boardwalk Empire has truly left me speechless. Easily the best in the show's history, and will go down as one of the greatest in television history. Astonishing stuff.

It was really good, but there's a few episodes I can remember rating higher.
Specifically:
The one where Jimmy dies.
The last two episodes of season three. (The last one is the one where Harrow saves Tommy by shooting a mansion full of people)

Oh, btw QS: It was season 3 I loved. The fourth was okay.

Shady

I loved the ones you mentioned, they all had powerful scenes, but never has an episode of this show kept me so gripped throughout. You could cut the tension with a knife.

QuincyAbeyie

You really could. What dragged this episode down for me were the scenes with Nucky and the drunk girls. Didn't really find it interesting. The scenes with Chalky were brilliant, and the fact that he knew he really wasn't going to work for Narcisse was a great way for him to go out and redeem himself at the same time.

One of the best shows I've seen for a while, this is really shit from Channel 4. Maybe the Beeb will pick it up? Read that Dennis Kelly had plans for series 3 and 4.

Yea I think common sense will prevail and the BBC or someone else will pick it up, even though it bombed in the ratings last I heard. I just think in cases like this one you need to let them ride it out no matter what. Imagine if HBO canned The Wire after two seasons.

Finished The West Wing. Great tv that!

Just finished season 2 of Under the Dome. Never read the book but I have quite enjoyed the series. Really explosive finale and thankfully it's been renewed again so it doesn't end with things unanswered just yet.

Great show.

Finally just got up to the Red Wedding episode of Game of Thrones having somehow largely avoided hearing what happened. I knew it was coming but I had avoided any major details. Was even more shocking than I'd imagined. Also great effect with the end credits being dead silent while you were trying to come to terms with what you had just witnessed.
