Crucial, you might want to check out the new BBC show [i]The Fall[/i]. Gillian Anderson plays a detective in pursuit of a serial killer.<br />

Mrs Luigi has been watching this and wittering on incessantly about how good it is. So I Sky+'d it and watched it last night/this morning.<br />
<br />
Very, very good. Gillian Andersen does a great line in latterday Prime Suspect/Jane Tennyson as the ice cool DI bought in to review a Belfast rape & murder enquiry of a local politician's daughter-in-law. There's also a nice sub-plot about sectarian-fuelled gangsters and corruption. But it's the main person-of-interest, which sold me because it's not a run-of-the-mill whodunnit (you know exactly who the killer is) but whether he will get away with it or not.<br />
<br />
Worth watching. -
Enjoying S2 of Grimm, I like how the main storyline is a big part of each episode.<br />
<br />
Also spotted a brother of some ferners in an episode too, although I do hope he was trying to make his SA accent poor...<img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />
<br />
Only on ep 3 of Orphan Black, but am liking it. -

Started Breaking Bad. So far first 3 episodes.<br />
<br />
Is it a comedy or what? It kind of goes from being very serious to being farcical.<br />
<br />
Will persist till the end of the first season to see where its going.<br />

Technically its a drama, but its weirdly funny. Its basically Fargo, set in the desert. Bit like the way the Pine Barrens episode of the Sopranos was almost an out & out comedy episode. Or anything involving Paulie or Chris for that matter.<br />
<br />
One of those shows that just gets better as the characters develop. And then it gets darker & darker. Christ it gets dark... -
Finished S2 of Grimm, really enjoyed it, I think S2 was much better than S1, which was more episode by episode whereas S2 was more a longer story with little stories mixed in and while the finale was a little predictable, it is set up nicely for S3.

6 eps into Orphan Black, has stepped up a notch the past 3 eps!<br />
<br />
3 eps into Rectify, very intriguing series! Feels a little slow, but still engrossing! -

Hmm, I have the original mini-series on my hard drive and need to get around to watching it. -
Finished both Rectify and Orphan Black last night;<br />
<br />
Rectify – quite a frustrating show really, it just gives you enough to keep you interested, but still never enough. I think the pace of the show is set very similar to the un-changing Daniel Holden. I really liked it, but you are almost screaming for something to happen, but at the same time, there is plenty going on, just not at the usual pace other series try to push things along.<br />
<br />
Will be interesting to see if they do a second season, there is certainly enough material for them, but also they did leave it with enough for you to draw your own conclusions.<br />
<br />
Orphan Black – Sarah & Delphine...as to the show, it didnt grip me as quick as some said it did them, it was about ep 5 I think it really got me. I didnt really think alot of the scene with Olivier [spoiler] when they cut off his tail. I understand the concept of the genetics, but seeing it made it comical IMO. Liked the diversion to Alisons crazy prying friend away from her husband as her monitor. [/spoiler] Felix is a great character! Is well set up for a 2[sup]nd[/sup] season. -

<br />
Could have been better left to the imagination as it did seem a bit OTT in comparison to the rest of the show. -
4 eps into Defiance, must say it is pretty average so far...only reason I have watched that many is I have nothing else lined up (actually I lie, have Falling Skies but waiting until I have half a dozen or so...) I'll no doubt watch the rest, but so far it isnt screaming out to be watched.<br />
<br />
Although just got The Fall today, which looks pretty good. -

Watch The Wire again .... -
ha yeah, I kinda saw it as a BSG/Terra Nova/Western mash
-
Watched GoT Season 3 over a few days (love the Nexus 7).<br />
<br />
Disappointed by how tame the Red Wedding was. Maybe I'd built it up too much based on the web response from people who hadn't read the books<br />
<br />

I hate autocorrect ...<br />

Finished The Fall last night, prett good, a few plot flaws like most but otherwise pretty good.<br />
<br />
Dunno if they are looking at a 2nd series, but leaves it open but also for you to decide what you think happens, also Gillian Anderson still looks pretty tidy!! -
Looks like I caught Ashley Shafer of Ashley Shafer BMW on holiday this morning.<br />

Yeah, there's another one in the works apparently.<br />
<br />
Thought it was good apart from the "Lets up sticks and move literally within 24 hours despite having no money and work commitments" thing. -

The stuff centred on the killer was good - genuinely disturbing and quite insightful. Everything else was a bit dull and rather cliched. All the "walking marriage" stuff seemed very tacked on.
