No love for Boardwalk Empire S03? Nucky gets nasty and a new bad ass is in town.<br />
<br />
[b]Downton Abbey S03 another good watch [/b]and if you like DA then Parades End would be worth a look.<br />

<br />
Yeah just just started on that this week, gotta love some of the dialogue and indignation at some of the situations, hilarious!<br />
<br />
Finished S3 of BSG, great series, just the right amount of chessiness, and had a looksie at ep 1 of Strike Back too, looks like my cup of tea. -
I think me and Mrs Mariner are the only 2 people in Australia watching "Strike Back", it's already been bumped to the 11.30pm slot. Fuckers.<br />
<br />
3 episodes in and Season 2 of "Homeland" is ticking along nicely. I was wondering how they were going to drag out a second season, but its pretty good.<br />
<br />
Still liking "Vegas" as well. It's a pretty simple premis, but it's entertaining TV. -
ANyone seen Elementary, another take on Sherlock Holmes with Johnny Miller & Lucy Liu
-
Certainly a lot of death in SOA this season although am wondering if the one we think from the end of the last ep will happen due to what he knows. <br />
<br />
Walking Dead started on tv here last night at the prime time of 2230! WTF! It is only what 4 weeks behind yet they slot it in that time slot? I hadn't intended watching it on tv with ads....any who, picked up where it left off, pretty good. -

Shit no, having Clay skulking around plotting Jax's downfall is what is driving the story at the moment. You can now see why the obvious kill off didn't happen. -
I wasnt talking about Clay...<br />
<br />
[spoiler]the very end of the last ep with Jax following Juice after confirming he was a the 'snitch' if he allows him to live given what he knows and can confirm...[/spoiler] -
Ok, my bad assumption, I wont read your spoiler yet as I was busy last night and am yet to watch the latest ep.<br />
<br />
I have the first of Elementary to watch but haven't as yet. I liked the UK recent series so much I'm hoping that the US one in the same vein doesn't ruin things for me. Will approach with trepidation.<br />
<br />
A Series I have been slowing chipping away at is Alphas Series 2. Series 1 showed enough promise to see where they are going with things and I nust say the quality has improved. Any series like this will have a lot of holes and credibility issues but if you suspend them and go along for the ride it's not a bad watch. Gary, the austistic guy, is really quite good and the writers serve him well. There are some subtle funny moments that come from him. Having a scene where the two hot chicks in the cast have a pash was a nice touch as well.<br />
<br />
Person of Interest S2 is now 5 episodes in so must do a catch up on that to see if it is still chugging along OK. -
My brother has been saying good things about a new series called Arrow he reckons I'll enjoy....<br />
<br />
I have so much on my list to watch at the moment (havent started Elementary yet) -
Caught a bit of "Revolution" on Fox last night. Looks interesting and I might download it to the tablet for a look once a few more eps are out. I just don't do TV watching any more. Too busy!<br />
<br />
After trying to get to sleep while the wife was watching "Glee" and several shitty Australian "dramas"* in our room, I have told her I'm going to give her GoT S1 & 2 for her iPad so that she can see some decent writing with her headphones on!<br />
<br />
Thank goodness she likes Modern Family or I'd be considering throwing the TiVo out the window.<br />
<br />
<br />- there is a complete abortion of a show on here called "Winners & Losers". Premise was about four friends (all chicks) who win lotto and the fucking stupid decisions that ensue. The writers are completely out of touch with reality and I fail to see why they haven't re-titled it "Losers" before it crashes and burns in a huge pile of shit before the next shitty season shits up my screen.<br />

Arrow is good.. <br />
<br />
Elementary is not even close to Sherlock.. But that's what happens when u have a show that's been done again n again.. Intersting to have Watson as a woman though -
Looks like I might have to get Arrow (TV2 is screening it in the New Year...)<br />
<br />
SOA - bit of a weak episode IMO, predictable and filling time.<br />
<br />
Walking Dead is good, while I have the eps ahead of NZ, I've watched it on TV the first 2 weeks, which I will probably end up doing.<br />
<br />
S2 of Strike Back is a bit formulaic, still good viewing, but not as good as S1 IMO.<br />
<br />
Anyone been watching Dexter, I have that locked and loaded, but want to get through some other stuff first. -
Don't expect Arrow to be anything cerebral and you should be happy. It's a comic book with reasonable production values. The usual rules to dual-identity apply i.e wear glasses, a hood or a little mask and even your closest friend/lover won't recognise you.

If you're a walking dean fan have you seen the web only short clips?cold storage just came out, there was an earlier one with the back story to "bicycle girl too http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xu0fnr_the-walking-dead-cold-storage-webisode-1-hide-and-seek_shortfilms#.UKigvOPZ-Do<br />

I think the governer shows up this week, hopefully he's as amoral as the character in the books.
