Ah, sorry to hear that. I suppose it seems to be a common phenomenon in music as well as TV series: people not knowing when to quit.watt price tully wrote:I'm a bit disappointed with this series.

As for me, I'm watching the older shows on DVD at the moment, and enjoying every minute of them.

These ones aren't as "deep" as the others. I think the 'weird weekend' series is more light hearted than the "Louis Theroux" series.watt price tully wrote:I'm a bit disappointed with this series.

I love them all, he's such a dag.

I am getting close to that, I like how they have the camera angles as well for the show. Going to be sad when I hit the end of season 4 in a couple of weeks.think positive wrote:You still got two seasons to go.
Last episode of three is the best, I've watched about five times!
Which will mean, I'll have to go through them again.

I've nearly finished the second book. I think this season might be even better than the first.Joel wrote:That close to Season 2?

Well, book 5, A Dance With Dragons, will be on TV in in 2015. That's if HBO keep making it. They don't have a great record of seeing things through to the end (Deadwood etc). There is supposed to be 7 books in the series. Do you think you can wait that long?Joel wrote:I've bought the books, but I don't want to know the story line until I have watch them. I think I will start reading the first soon.
I know that sounds like the wrong way around, but I don't want to know the details before I watch the series.
Only just over a week away now. Looking forward to it.
Book 6 is due out in 2014.

me too, only caught a couple (i have never watched channel 2 so i keep forgetting) but i want to catch up on them all.Black_White wrote:Been enthralled by "The Straits" on ABC1.
Underbelly up North
apart from the first underbelly series, i reckon this beats the others, got some great actors, Firass Dirani is brilliant as well ascute! has a bit of humour to it as well.
but the female actors are just awesome, and they get some good stories too, its not just about the men, or the exploited woman, as underbelly was.
great show all around
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
