The ex-detective chap is from Swindon. What is it with US telly shows not casting US actors, especially the male leads?

Born in Swindon but grew up in Aus.

So V is returning, anyone going to bother with that again? How about Flash Forward?

The second episode of Past Life is still sat there unwatched. The forgotten got the boot last week.

Flash Forward I really liked to start with but it went off track badly. I'm not sure where V really has to go.

Personally, I think US TV could learn from the series back home - quality, not quantity. That's not to say that British TV is always good. We've churned out some turkeys, but look how much better Dollhouse got once the cancellation was announced. It finally got some direction. I see that in Lost too.

Try HBO for series. The quality is far beyond anything on network TV.

I've got to say, HBO's Six Feet Under is the best tv show I've ever seen. It's just fantastic from start to finish. The ending of that show, well, don't get me started, I'll start welling up again!

The last episode does give you a lump in the throat.

It's great when you can recommend something to people you have enjoyed, I end up feeling jealous that I can't watch it again for the first time.:lol:

Yes, I'm very much the same. I would love to be able to watch that whole show again for the first time.

That's how I felt when I recommended "The Shield " to a colleague recently....I was so excited for him, (and more than a little jealous) that he got to watch all 8 seasons in about 3 months!!!

That happened to me. I lent my Dexter season 1 DVDs to a friend. She hated it with a vengeance. Weird, because otherwise our taste in TV is pretty similar.
