SoHo wil lbe Free to air for Oct/Nov on Sky Basic, but will then be a pay channel after... 
 
Wife and I enjoyed Downton Abbey, so 2nd series will be on the must watch!

I'm finding SOA4 compelling viewing. You are watching knowing full well that there ain't gonna be a happy ending to this tale. The Hamlet comparisons are lining up big and Hamlet was, after all, a tragedy. The hole is getting dug deeper and deeper. 
The characters are just so f'ing good and believable too. So far there is no 'filler' to pad the series out like Series 3 either.

Bones

I'm only just at the start of Season 2 and finding it not as good as season 1....does it heat up? And should I skim through season 3?

Yeah, season 2 gets good. Season 3 should probably be skimmed.

Bones

Series 3 does set up a lot of the major storyline, it's just dragged out a fair bit. If you did decide to skip it at least read the plot summaries.

S3 has a good soundtrack though!! 
 
First episode of The Borgias aired on Wednesday, looks good enough for further viewing. 
 
Final episode of Breaking Bad due to air shortly isnt it, then I can start watching.

Hasnt aired in NZ, but will wait until I have the entire series to watch at my leisure!

Just discovered I have a new channel called Soho or something, what are they putting on that? 
 
I'm mentally prepared for Sky to wait till it gets popular then make it a pay channel, if it is any good I'd love to swap it for the two estrogen channels vibe and E.

taniwharugby

that is going to have all the good HBO type programmes, many mentioned in here, but will be pay (like Rialto) from 01/12 I believe...

I had a rethink on SOA 3 and I don't think it is as bad as we remember. It is bad in comparison with the first two seasons, but not with a lot of other programming out there. In saying that, I'm glad they're back in Charming and this season is already leagues better.

[I]Alphas [/I]was good, goofy fun.

So, a cracking ending to Breaking Bad season 4.

Have been rewatching [I]Community [/I]recently. Chang gets my award for best use of a "gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" call.

The Hoff makes a cameo appearance in SOA! Does that mean it has jumped the shark? 
 
(he is perfectly cast though, as a porn producer)

Are you up to date with SOA? 
 
SPOILER 
 
What's the deal with C-Note (umm, the black Sheriff) trying to blackmail Juice with his supposed Black heritage? The logic leap doesn't work for me. At no point have SAMCRO come across as racist. Juice (Ortiz) is also Hispanic (as surely Happy is as well), and this hasn't been an issue. And in previous seasons SAMCRO has dealt with the Grim Bastards (who were a Black MC). Does anyone really buy the fact that homeboy Jax in his white sneaks and baggy jeans hates Blacks??? It's ridiculous and is pissing me off in what otherwise is a really good season. Grrr.

One percenter gangs are notoriously racist and quite often have sympathies towards/criminal ties with white supremacists (though they may deal with black gangs too). The show has avoided that aspect of gangs like the Sons until now.
