Finally finished watching the whole thing and it was a bit shit.

The first episode was so slow and annoying that it put me off watching the whole thing but we did...it got better in the second and third episode, but went back to be naff and annoying in the final two episodes.

You just ended up wanting to punch the main character in the face and her daughter should have been drowned at birth. Unlike-able muppets, the whole lot of them, except the ex-husband.

The cars were really cool though and I liked the sound track.

I've not seen the original, but someone said, and if true, would have made this a lot more entertaining, in the opener to the movie that sets the whole pace as a look back on her life...

Game of Thrones looks like it has promise, George Romero makes a cross between Camelot (but good) and Lord of the Rings, I don't know where its going, but I am happy to go along with it.

Camelot is garbage, I can forgive all sorts of crap, I can watch nonsense, but I can not forgive something that is boring. I just kept waiting for it to end (episode 4). Tedious. Terrible script, poor acting, questionable casting. I hope her that tells me what to watch, cancels our viewing of this. Only saving grace: Wicklow Mountains look great.

I have no idea how much this is staged, but it is amazing that people live like this. Car crash TV, I can't turn away from the horror of it.

Arthur is bloody awful, bring back Oliver Tobias

The second episode was definitely a lot better than the first, especially now that there is a bit of a back story to this thing.

Still a bit shit though, but worth continuing with as it has improved.

King

It's a new Canadian drama, couple episodes in, but heard it was worth a watch if anyone catches it.

Sally Redux

OK caught up with Game of Thrones, quite enjoying it

Bob

Really rather liked this!

It's quite a gritty, serious drama, little dark in places, but also some great amusing lines to lighten the tone up a bit now and again. Well worth catching.

Was it shown on US TV...if so what channel please?

Bob

Showtime I think it was...but I got it through...other avenues

Jerseygirl

We subscribe to Showtime...but I've searched Fios with 'King' and still can't find it.

Bob

weird...everytime I searched, I kept getting that Kings show that was canned

It's this one, isn't it? http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=246281&lid=7

Bob

yeah, that's the one, guess it wasn't Show Time, so Canadian only...but that chap on the right, he's been in quite a few shows, Heartland, and some other show that has just started in Canada I think.

So Chaos has officially been cancelled from being on "hiatus" status, which is a shame, kind of liked that.

Game of Thrones, weirdly after a bunch of episodes, really enjoying this now, after a bit of a meh first episode.

Camelot, after really loving the first couple of episodes, now finding it really slow and stale, getting pretty shit a bunch of episodes in now.

Just started watching Sea Patrol, it's a Oz show, 5th series just started a few weeks ago...really enjoying it. Daft, silly show, but fun bit of drama this. It's about a naval patrol boat, dealing with pirates, drug runners and all kinds of coastal stuff. Each series seems to have a different back story that they go into and cover, but each episode could be seen as a one off too, though the back story seems to be interesting. The Cape chap was in this too.

Anyone got a Roku box? Been a bit of a gamechanger in my household as I have downloaded a lot of shite UK TV and have been streaming it to the TV from my computer. Managed to get the yanks addicted to 'Come Dine with Me', 'Country House Rescue' and 'Eurotrash'.

Managed to get them into Rugby as well during the Six Nations - in fact quite a few said it is 'way better then American Football'. Who knows, what might happen with the World Cup this year and the lockout on the horizon.

Also anyone seen the Borgias - I downloaded it all from youtube and clipped it together using Camtasia having heard it was good but haven't watched it as yet.
