Hell on Wheels

Anyone catch that? I think some of the folks behind the Walking Dead were involved in this.

It's a series set in the wild west, after the war, a former soldier is out for revenge against the folks who killed his wife.

Sounds very cheesy, but could be fun all the same.

I'd give Come Fly With Me a wide berth, it's really bad. Little Britain was so much funnier.

Couple episodes in, given up....didn't like it.

Didn't have the grit to compete against Deadwood, lacked the cheesy charm of Wild Boys and fell limply in the middle.

Homeland is going on a slight tangent I didn't think about, but it's still a bit shit...but oh well, still seem to be watching it, slowly.

Homeland is going from bad to worse....totally implausible. Now we learn the irritating Clare Danes had done two separate 3 year stints in Iraq...how old is she supposed to be? She screams and shouts at her boss and his boss...tells them what to do and disobeys orders. How the hell did she get in the CIA when she's on meds for being a total whack job?

Yes, it's terribly implausible. On a slight tangent and for the UKNova thread, the Jury, show made a good attempt with a character going through US immigration, had the right for, letter head, visa info and the chap at the embassy...couldn't say how accurate the "interview" type bit was as I've no idea about asylum cases, but quite impressed over all that it seemed to have been researched and at least seem plausible unlike nearly everything else that's about emigrating to the US on tele.

Yeah - I gave up after episode one. I just felt it was a bit lacking in humour and I struggled to like any of the characters.

Walking Dead is much slower paced this season (except for the first episode) - I suspect due to the slashed budget - but this has allowed for some proper character development. In fact there are probably too many characters at the moment so it's about time for the zombies to come back and conduct a mass cull of the cast members.

Once upon a time is not bad and the misses likes it. Again I fail to see how it can be sustained beyond one series. It's also pretty blatantly not shot in Maine - they could have at least tried to make it look like where it supposed to be set instead of filming a few scenes in Boston and hoping no-one would notice.

They had a failed soap called Savannah some years ago, all the opening scenes filmed in Atlanta.

My bloke likes Once Upon A Time, he's a sci-fi fantasy geek though. I quite like it, I'm looking forward to all the shit hitting the fan and everyone 'waking up'

That Stephen King show, Haven, that was all shot up in Nova Scotia, or might have been PEI...but at least that some what had a Maine feel to it
