Excited for this summer, both the finale of Breaking Bad and season three of The Killing. Two of my favorite shows.

The season finale of Justified was excellent. Can't go wrong with a shootout in a nursery. :devillaugh:
I always love it when a good bit of action springs up in the show, but the truth is I love it even more when things play out in a clever way. Raylan's solution to his little mob problem was totally unexpected to me, but made so much damn sense.
Glad that Boyd's murder coverup story is over though. Probably the least interesting part of this whole season, story-wise, even though Walton Goggins is always fun to watch.
I know almost no one here watches the show, so I'm basically talking to myself.

Edited OP to coincide with how we're doing this in the General Gaming forum. Give it a quick read and carry on.

Just watched the first episode Hannibal (TV series).

Image

It's a really solid, dark, weird and gripping pilot episode. I was honestly expecting a cheesy, shallow serial killer show going into it, but it's really surprised me. It's more psychological than anything else and it's not "just another detective show". It's really quite different from any other detective show I've seen in a long time, it's more along the lines of a Fincher movie or the original novels. And Mads Mikkelsen is brilliant in the title role, so far. Subtle performance with a creepy undertone. Hopefully it'll get him recognised as a great actor, rather than just "that Bond villain from Casino Royale".

So yeah, fans of any of the Hannibal Lecter saga (either the movies or novels) definitely check it out.

Woah, The Killing has got a third season coming out? Awesome, didn't even know that, thought it got canned. :D

Sure, it's not an episodic adrenaline fest but the story, writing, characters, cinematography, music, everything was done right.


Yeah, The Wire is absolutely brilliant, one of my favourites too.

Been watching Revolution which recently started on Sky. Its OK if a little cheesy at times and Tracy Spiridakos pulls some odd facial expressions when trying to act at times but its enjoyable enough for me to keep watching.

I'm watching a AMC series called "The Killing". This is a detective drama that spans one whole season trying to solve a mystery.

Lie to me.

Good show. Has its dull episodes but the whole "I can read your face and body language to see if you're lying" premise is very cool.
