@ Arron - Five? I have ep 1 on my HDD, but saving it for Saturday afternoon.
If you like Walton Goggins, he's brilliant in Justified. Also, Al Swearengen is king of the cunts.

Ah. I thought 4 was the IRA/trip to Ireland season. Turns out that was 3 ahaha. It's forgettable fluff. Season 4 is a beef with rival gangs, SAMCRO start runnning drugs as well as guns so there's a big hooo haa between Jax and Clay about the direction they're headed etc. Jax is a blonde airhead, and believes in some sort of ethical purity for the biker gang. Fuck! I make this sound shit.

As much as I hated the Irish storyline, I thought the last five minutes of the last episode of S3 were amazing. Best ending to a season of Sons to date (or could it just be that I was glad the season had ended?).

@ Aaron - Yeah, I watch it in a fishing boat with a potato.
@ Stormyskies - That kind of made up for the shit and that scabby, afraid to age cunt annoyed the fuck out of me

I did too ahah

Plastic surgery gone crazy. And such an ugly character.

I found her way of talking really frustrating. Lots of deep breaths and sudden head movements.

Trying to catch up on some  old The Thick of It stuff to get me in the mood for the new series. Fat chance of that on iPlayer.  Why the BBC don't go the 4oD route and archive the classic comedies I don't know.  Yeah I know, DVD sales but really if 4 can do it.....

It's on Netflix if you have it.

The first episode bored me to tears, well acted though. Haven't watched any more but it seems unfair to give up so soon so I may give it another go.

I really wanna start on season 5 of Sons now, I've got the first episode downloaded but watching a TV show week by week? That's some backward shit right there.

Also got The Newsroom, but reports from those I know who've watched it are pretty mixed. Although they both like Doctor Who so I dunno why I should listen to them. Or even remain friends with them for that matter.

Yeah, I watch whatever TV I've downloaded in the week back to back on a Saturday afternoon. Weeds, Louie, I would say Breaking Bad but that's on a break now. SOA's back and Dexter soon, I don't know if Boardwalk Empire's due - but I haven't heard anything to the contrary, so I assume so. I usually have 4/5 shows on the go, but I never watch broadcast TV/News so it's not so bad.

Newsroom is a weird one. I found the Bin Laden episode a little jarring, given the tone of the show. I like that it's about a news team that press the Republicans and The Teabaggers, and explain deregulation, how the economic crash happened and where blame should be applied, and questioning Obama's response, but it's hands off after that. It seems almost pro-Obama/pro-Democrat like Bill Maher's HBO show, despite The Newsroom's host being a moderate Republican.

I wouldn't say it's pro democratic, I simply think it's anti Fox News.

It's obviously anti Fox News, but it feels like a cog in the other side's machine like Bill Maher's Real Time. No-one's poking Obama on these shows.

@Lawro: I'll start on The Newsroom over the weekend then. I've also got four seasons of Weeds to catch up on, I'm a late comer to that and I Love it. Season 4 ended on a bit of a bombshell and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Weeds is another loyalty thing for me. It used to be great, then lost it a bit. Ends soon, though.

@XTC_NRG_4_DARKRAVER Boardwalk Empire starts Sunday I believe.

That Lillyhammer was OK. Some clunking co-incidences but decent acting once they made it out of NY and I'm currently a sucker for anything Swedish/Norwegian.

I liked it. NY was terribly shit, almost didnt follow through with it after a shit start. That shootout was amazingly shit. Style of the show is somewhat sloppy. Disappointed that Steve Van Zandt is ripping off Silvio in his entirety but then it does work.

Dispite that it grew on me pretty quickly. However contrived the "I thought I was going to have to give Johnny Fontaine a movie part" was, it made me do a lulz.

Season 3 has the best episode of anything ever. Prefer Season 4 as a whole, though. And yeah, 1 and 2 are 'slow' compared to the rest.

Going back a few pages here but was it The Fly episode? That was rather good. I'd have to give some serious thought about favourite episode of anything ever.
