    <p>Been watching a US detective series called Awake. Interesting premise: LA cop has a car crash with his wife and son and then wakes up to find his son has died. But then when he goes to sleep he wakes up in another reality where it's his wife that's died. He shifts between the two realities every time he goes to sleep. He's also sent to a shrink to discuss his problems - both tell him "you are not dreaming with me" and he replies "that's what the other shrink said".</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>So which reality is real? Who knows? But there is crossover in his cases in the form of obscure clues and hints that lead him to solve murders.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It's quite enjoyable and there's a series long back story behind the basic plot, which keeps the interest simmering.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Not sure if there's a second series.</p>

    <p>The bad dude is by far the best thing about this.</p>
    <p>I thought it was OK even if you could see the ending coming from way back.</p>
    <p>Far to arty farty at times.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>As a comparison with a similar show. If you could take the first series (well the first two really so you had the conclusion) of 'The Killing' and condense it, it would shit all over this, even if I did prefer the NZ scenery to the constant rain in Seattle.</p>

    <p>3 episodes into Banshee S2 and I've decided it's gone rather shit. It's all over the show and I struggle to retain interest for the full 50 minutes. FFS, they're making Anthony Starr the worst actor in the world because every second scene he just has to stand there looking angry, confused, or stupid.  The new mysteries should be interesting but they're not and the building up to an 'incest' storyline just seems to be doing something to shock rather than following an actual narrative. Waiting for the next bit of nudity is not a way to watch a show. It may take the Native American bird to get naked to keep me watching.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Hopefully it can get back to the stupid-ish fun it was last year.</p>

    <p>True Detective is pretty damn good.  As is Woody's side piece nude scene.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I finished the second season of The Bridge (Bron/Broen).  It was pretty good, and they set up a very interesting third season.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Justified is still in the groove, enjoying it and the new Florida hillbillies.</p>

    <p>Broadchurch - pretty good series, wasnt until the last couple of eps I started looking at teh killer as a suspect. There are some similarities with the story in The Killing, but a quick check doesnt mention any inspriations or anything like that?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>They are also making a US version.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Nepia wont like the lead Detective, he has issues! Even those aside, IMO the guy cast as him just didnt quite fit the role?</p>

    Pervert, she's the little girl out of Percy Jackson and the lightening thief .<br><br>
    Spectacular breasts though, really enjoying this show so far

    I didn't mind it but Spader can lift any pile of crap he acts in I guess.<br><br>
    I don't know how to spoiler this on my phone but am I alone on thinking he's the hot FBI agents dad?

    <p>It's usually the 'villian' I have problems with, and not because they have issues, but because they're of a deliberate type. They're all structured, and well spoken, and specific ... until they go off. It seems to be a new 'type' on TV that I'm going to have to live with though. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Loving season 5 of The Shield despite the fact that Forest Whittaker is just doing a version of it.</p>
