Recorded the first two episodes and watched the first last night. Incredible cast, stunning scenery, slightly mental story line. Enjoying it so far.<br />

Finished this series last night, one of those ones that just bubbles under without really getting going, but still grips you!<br />
<br />
the funny thing about the acting (which was great) is there were a number of faces from TV adverts in NZ as well!<br />
<br />
But yeah the subject matter was a bit disturbing. -
<p>Anyone else given "Orange is the new Black" a go? I am about halfway through, so far, pretty good. Netflix is two for two along with House of Cards.</p>
-
<p>Liked "Top of the Lake" although it was a bit slow at times. Wife said if it wasn't New Zealand i wouldn't have sat through it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Orange is the new black" is by the same crowd who did Weeds, Both I liked (the former features Laura prepon from the 70's show in a slightly different role).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also watched Mistfits a while back (well first two seasons it went to shit after that).</p> -
<p>anyone seen Vikings?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a bit of stuff to watch now, although the much anticipated final season of Breaking Bad starts this weekend!</p> -
<p>I watched an episode of a show called "The Bridge" the other day and really liked it. Now need to watch the first 2 to catch up, and will start watching weekly. About a serial killer on the border between Mexico and the US. Diane Kruger is in it, which attracts my attention immediately (fans need to watch the directors cut of Troy).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is Breaking Bad really that good? I see it has just started on FX over here, from the beginning, and i am really considering watching. Especially given you think it has an end in sight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another that starts later this month that looks alright is "Low Winter Sun" anyone know anything about it?</p> -

<p>It's always good when you stumble over little known gems</p> -
<p>Caught a preview for this while I was watching ESPN:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.search4hurt.com.au/'>http://www.search4hurt.com.au/</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There were three episodes on last night, which roughly broke down into:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- They mentor a woefully underprepared American Lawyer for an Ultramarathon in Texas. He gets about halfway through before shutting down due to fatness and softness.</p>
<p>- Tough Bloke Challenege in Victoria</p>
<p>- Training with Aussie Crossfit Champ, Chad Mackay - that is one seriously powerful dude</p>
<p>- Training with Richmond AFL club</p>
<p>- Training with the Melbourne Rebels</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Crossfit stuff was killer, but the AFL upper body workout was mildly insane - pullups and push press (military press) at around 60% of body weight together for 20 minutes. Start with 5 reps of each and keep going until you fail, then drop to 4, then 3, etc. The idea is total tonnage - he got to 11 tons with a body weight of 70kg and a push press of 40kg. The AFL players in the mid-high bracket get to 15 tons. That is a lot...</p> -

Yeah I'm on ep 2 of The Bridge. Kruger's character is an odd one, seems a number of roles in stuff these days seem to be having those types cast.<br>
</p>
<p>[spoiler]Is it aspergers or something? IMO her character is not too disimililar from the likes of Bones, Sheldon and the ofte portrayed Sherlock, although I dont think her character is a genius like the others...[/spoiler]<br>
<br>
<br>
IMO Breaking Bad is the best thing on TV, but then I couldn't get into The Wire, so take my opinion with a grain of salt ;)</p> -

Never heard of it. Has there been much interest surrounding it?<br>
Probably hardly been downloaded much either. -
I've started re-watching LOST on Amazon Prime. I remember that it goes on to have a couple of mid-series slumps, and it copped a lot of shit about how it finished up. However, it's a much better show with a much better full series arc than it gets credit for.

<p>Started watching Vikings tonight. Not bad. Little bit flat at times, but huge potential. I say that as a Cornwell fan. ----------------------- I hate autocorrect ...</p>

<p>Yeah I watched ep 1 last night too...some tidy looking Viking lasses helps too!</p> -
<p>TR i watched Ep 5 of "the Bridge" last night. It started to get to me what the fuck was wrong with Kruger's character (i don't think we need to spoil it, it's not a plot point that i can see). So i googled it, apparently she is supposed to have some "undiagnosed condition on the Autism scale" which in TV terms means being socially awkward and being tactless. So yea, a lot like those annoying characters you mentioned, but they gave her empathy and feelings as well. Fuck i hate Bones. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>FX having a catch up on Sunday, showing the first 5 episodes straight, so i will see the first couple then and see if it gets explained in any way.</p> -
<p>I've only watched 2 eps so far of The Bridge, which was amusing watching her character do what she did, which I thought wasnt unlike Carrie in Homeland who has her own issues....</p>
