For sure my friend. You won't even realise how great it is till you've finished because you will have found yourself binging it.
It gets much worse as it progresses though, I think only first 3 or maybe 4 seasons are worth a watch
I'd go along with that.
The first one Borgia. Acting can be a bit wooden at times in the early series but it gets better, or at least you just get used to it with all the intrigue and T&A thats going on.
OK, thanks, I'll check it out.
I'm really looking forward to this. At least the cast is fecking brilliant. Hopefully it means the script is top notch.
I loved Westworld (and Futureworld). Creepy, tense and funny.
It seems HBO's version gonna be a bit darker... we'll see.

Outlander. I'm just into session two now and its really good imo.

Chose to start Rome, reviews seemed decent and I am about 6 episodes in and now I am kind of bored. It is good but not great and is very slow. Does it get any better or is it a case of me not liking the first season meaning me not liking all of it?
keep watching man, second part of the season is brilliant. The whole season is brilliant, but if the second part bores you, then something is wrong with your taste.
ps. maybe try re watch the season from the beginning. Sometimes when there are many characters you need to familiarize with them first.
Yeah, it's kind of like Deadwood in that respect...and it needed more seasons.keep watching man, second part of the season is brilliant. The whole season is brilliant, but if the second part bores you, then something is wrong with your taste.

Though I hear there's a movie in the works to remedy that for Deadwood.
Or The Wire... a lot of people don't get it/like the first 3 or 4 episodes and many gave up on it because of that.
Really? I stopped watching when the amount of male nudity and unwarranted sex-scenes became overwhelming, it's like a soft porn historical fan-fiction.

I'm enjoying it. Did you finish season 1?
No, I think I stopped at 12 or 13 episode, smth like that. Does it get better? I don't have anything against the sex scenes when they are crucial to the plot or to depicting of the atmosphere (like in Rome or GoT), but here it's just nudity and unneccesary long sex scene without any motivation
Yes it does towards the end and I kind of got why it was so graphic. But I warn you it's a what the hell kinda thing. Maybe you saw the part I'm talking about though. Where he's captured?
Season two hasn't been anything like as sexual.

Might check this out.
Have many people watched Limitless? Personally apart from a couple of dodgy episodes I think it's been great.
Fargo (FX) was far better than I thought it'd be. Right up there with The Americans as their best drama. Billy Bob killed it.
Now GoT is almost over and I hear True Detective 3 is on the back-burner, so I'm a bit bummed. Maybe I'll do a remastered Wire binge? Slim pickings.

Sorry to hear that. Seems a little harsh punishment just because a few TV shows are over though.
Watched all of Luther recently. Very watchable show. Idris Ruth Wilson
Ruth Wilson Anyone seen the new show "Braindead"? It is currently 3 episodes in.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4877736/
A government employee discovers that the cause of the tensions between the two political parties is a race of extraterrestrial insects eating the brains of the politicians.

Luther's great. Line of Duty is better though and similar, though whilst they have some great actors none quite meet Idris and Ruth Wilson.
Watched the first three episodes today, seems decent, but I think I'm going to prioritize other shows for the time being. Out of curiosity, in your opinion, which episode does it really come into prominence?
To be perfectly honest, I never felt there was an episode when it 'came into prominence', I thought it was overall a steady show throughout but can't remember any particular stand out episodes. @Rado_N liked it and maybe he has a different opinion.
Yea I don't think there was a single episode where I thought it got going, I enjoyed it from the pilot.
So just finished catching up on Gomorra and now need something new to watch.
I basically want a gripping, dark thriller type show.
Was thinking of either The Leftovers or The Americans.

Leftovers is a captivating watch, especially the second season.
I watched the pilot of Americans last night and enjoyed it, Keri Russel is stunning.
Feck it, started Pretty Little Liars. I know, it's pretty poor technically, but it's quite watchable for now.
All or Nothing: A Season with the Arizona Cardinals just popped up on Amazon Prime. I'm not into American Football but the show is pretty good.
there is a new anime tv series of Berserk.
its the continuation after the golden age arc...
also season 2 of marco polo is out.

What's so good about Six Feet Under by the way?
Most any drama series from HBO that lasted more than a couple seasons is good. It's the best of American television.
Rome and Deadwood were also rather good, even though they didn't last long. Rome was too expensive I think, and I don't remember why Deadwood was cut off...
Just finished watching the man in the high castle and thought it was very good indeed.
Best finale I have ever seen.
I think I got half way through the 3rd episode, I had to go out or something so turned it off and I've just never had any desire to go back to it. It felt like they failed to come up with a story to make the most of what is a very interesting premise.
I just watched the first episode, not a big fan of the new animation style...it was OK I guess.
Considering what's happening in UK polotics at the moment, watch The Thick of it. It is rated 8.9 on IMDB and stars Peter Capaldi, the best spin doctor in Westminster
The first two seasons mostly.
