The TV Thread (GoT spoilers)

Unless Homeland decide to introduce another proper storyline like Brody was, i doubt it will continue past season 5 anyway. Carrie is indeed the most annoying main character in TV ever and she cant carry a show by herself. Saul and Quinn were great supporters, but they already went quite far with their storylines in season 4.

I feel so out of touch, loads of shows on here I see mentioned that I've never heard of. I added a few to my mental shortlist but I always end up forgetting what they were a couple of weeks later, like this vampire one Klaus and Qs were talking about a couple of weeks back.

Only running shows I watch at the moment:

Game of Thrones
House of Cards
Walking Dead
Justified
The Americans

What should I be looking to add?

I can assure you, you're not missing much if you're not watching the others 🙂

Yes, you are. I imagine Klaus was either talking about The Originals or The Strain. Haven't seen the latter.

I'd recommend adding Better Call Saul and Banshee to your mental shortlist.

Jens

Throw out Walking Dead for Better Call Saul and you're golden, Oft.

I think we were talking about The Strain.

The Originals is a much better show though, but it's a bit pointless if you haven't seen The Vampire Diaries first. The brilliance of the two main characters is partly lost. Speaking of Vampire Diaries, it's some of the best stuff on tv right now. This season has been a bit of a revelation.

Hannibal and Rectify should be on your list IMO.

broad city is actually a pretty funny show. my gf kept telling me it was funny but i wrote it off as a 'girls' rip-off, but it's a proper comedy.

Just finished Breaking Bad(late, I know) and thought Saul Goodman was hilarious there, so definitely going to give Better Call Saul a chance... Albeit annoyed with the fact that the cunt that is Mike has a role, didn't like him at all.

really? mike was awesome.

better call saul has been different from breaking bad so far. its been very deliberate, so just go in with an open mind.

Thanks for the tip - watched episode 1 last night with the missus - we both enjoyed it a lot so will continue with that one. Yes, Ms Atwell is very good. Looks all right too.

another great episode of better call saul tonight. the restraint they are showing is really impressive, and they are subtly making sure that the show doesn't look exactly like breaking bad.

His face on that billboard was just hilarious.

can't believe i never picked up on this during breaking bad:

s'all good, man

and banshee is the best show on tv right now. latest episode. wow.

Qwiss

I'm going to have to check out Banshee. All the reviews said it was kind of dumb but you guys are all so into it and only some of you are kind of dumb.

Gazza M

switch your brain off, suspend your disbelief, and enjoy the slickest most violent nonsense on tv

mdgoonah41

goodbye parks and rec. you'll be missed.

mdgoonah41

what an absolutely fantastic series finale.

Justified's finally got going again. Took a while this season, but this episode was great. And set it up nicely for more to come.

It's just ridiculous fun. If you don't like it after 4-5 episodes, I'd say it's not for you.
