I think you went about watching Lost in the right way. When you watched it on a weekly basis it was painful at times with the cliff hanger at the end of every episode. It was very frustrating to watch so i gave up on it. A box set is definitely the way to go. ------------- Irish Times Fantasy 6 Nations League Name: YBIG League Password: YBIG |

I only seen my first two episodes last night so I'm not fully sure yet. It seems to be about a young girl seeking "revenge" on everyone associated with the case of her father. I don't know what he was convicted off but it's clear he was wrongly convicted. Her father since died (im guessing in prison) and her mother has also passed away.

The wire is superb. Ive watched all of them but I am defo going to rewatch them over again.
Im on series 5 or the Sopranos at the moment
 I finished the 2 series of game of thrones (it is brilliant) and I've finished all the books of the series too (much better than the show).
True blood is excellent but Im up to date on that online too. The books are also an easy read.
Broadwalk Empire was really good (up to date on that too).
I really liked mad men, but I know some people found it too slow. I will start watching the latest series online this weekend.
I tried watching Breaking Bad but I dont think I was in the right humour at the time, so I will borrow the 1st series again and give it another try.
Ive also been told I have to watch the Flight of the Concordes after the rest of my group at the Euros spent the whole time quoting it.
Im thinking the West Wing might be my next big box set as Ive heard only good things about it.

Was only thinking about this yesterday. Even watching on the box set, when the credits hit while on a cliffhanger me and the missus always say "f**k sake". So then we watch another until it's too late to keep watching. Was thinking I would be going mad if I needed to wait another week. Doing 2-3 episodes a night now.

The west wing is top class. Started watching it again from the start when im on night duty. That should take care of a year of nights for me! Though the quality dipped after season 4 when Aaron Sorkin left. dialogue wasnt as snappy. Sorkins tv follow up to west wing was studio 60 on sunset strip. I thought that was class as well. Matthew perry very good in it. Only lasted one season though. ------------- The seeds of doubt that were sown at the weekend against Egypt have been doused by a dose of Jack Charlton's almighty weedkiller.<br /> |

'Generation Kill' is essential too imo . 7 one hour eps . Its based on articles written by a Rolling Stone magazine writers experiences with the marines who go into Iraq first and clear the way for the 'invasion' of the US Army in 2003. The show is written by The Wire writer David Simon and the Rolling Stones journalist himself Some of the real-life marines who were in the actual war are in the show too. |

Jaysus,is Weeds still going? I watched the first three seasons and thought it was the best thing ever.Started to go a bit downhill from there imo.Can't remember which season but when the whole thing moved down to Mexico and they started digging tunnels I thought it had gone off the rails altogether,maybe I should take another look. There's a comedy show called The League out at the moment.Season 1-3 are available for download (prob 1-2 boxset) Can't believe more people aren't talking about it.If you can get over the fact it's based around an American Fantasy Football League ( and you can very quick,I f**kin hate American Football) then it's savage craic,top show. |

Not at all. I started watching a few months ago and just finished the complete serious. I was waiting for it to turn sh*te after what people had said about it but it never did. It was still as addictive as ever right until the final episode. But maybe the fact that I watched them all back to back and not having to wait a week or a few months for the season cliffhangers to find out what was happening also made it that bit more enjoyable. if I had to wait a week after every episode I would would be fairly pissed off i think and it could turn sour, which is what I think happened for many people.
