And I was hooked.

Watched the first 3 episodes that night, and smashed out the final 7 last night (or into early this morning really. "Just one more before bed." "Just one more". Who else does that???) This morning mandy was NOT happy with last night mandy staying up so late on a school night!

So well worth it though. As brilliant as it is horrific. Very hard to watch sometimes but always compelling. Cannot wait for season 2.

Hard to explain what it's about. Google it. You won't be disappointed.

SBS on demand dropped the whole first season today. Get on it.
Yeah I was reading about that the other day and originally thought like you romantic period drama which not surprisingly swoop doesn't do ever (Christ I hate kissing unless it's lesbian porn) but this sounds like it has all the depravity I'll enjoy.

P.S-I've spent 12 hours or so watching an entire season in a day.

Yeah I have seen all of The 100.

It's not bad though I liked the first couple of seasons the most.

Line of Duty S4 looking good so far

Season 1 all those years ago was very good featuring Lennie James ( Morgan from TWD) as the main character.

Did not get around to watching seasons 2+3 till last week as I read season 4 was about to air.

Yeah I saw this British crime drama based around the work of an anti corruption unit recommended over at bigfooty also so I thought I'd give it a try.

Needless to say I quickly got through all 4 seasons.

I highly recommend it.

Ozark on Netflix is well worth a look. Smashed out the whole season in 1 night.

It was okay but none of the characters are really likeable and I kind of felt I'd seen it all before.

Fair to say it's no Breaking Bad.

It can be a long wait between customers when you're a webcam performer.

nothing compares to Breaking Bad, the best show ive ever seen easy.

i know im late to the party, but has any one seen heroes? ive been watching it in the gym, and i really liked the first series, im on about episode 5 or 6 of the second, and it seems to have lost the plot way quicker than Lost did! do i persevere?
