just sidetracking a bit...just love these. my top 5: -

The Walking Dead - if you love zombies and ppl hacking zombies, you''ll love it. seriously excellent acting from all the lead zombies. The zombie extras are kinda good too. Humans are cool too - but do note that some of the characters will tend to go missing, or die or change into zombies after a while. so just enjoy the ride and don't be too analytical about this drama. It is about brainless zombies. Period.

Spartacus blood and sand - mainly coz of the hot women. All the back stabbing (literally!) elements admn are great too.

Breaking bad - mainly coz of Jesse's non-stop cursing. The earlier season's are the best...coz if you can't enjoy the earlier seasons...forget about watching it.

GOT - well...it's a LOTR-ish with lots of boobies and some weird incest storyline. Need I say more.

True Blood - trashy American soap opera with lots of boobs and blood and gore. Again, just enjoy the ride coz it ain't festival-arty material.

just my 2 sen

A new medical drama series The Knick directed by Soderbergh and featuring Clive Owen has kicked off. Getting some good reviews and has already been renewed for second season with 10 episodes. Can't wait to watch it later tonight.

QUOTE
In New York City in 1900, the Knickerbocker Hospital operates with innovative surgeons, nurses and staff who have medicinal limitations to prevent staggeringly high mortality rates. Dr. John Thackery, the newly appointed leader of the surgery staff, battles his cocaine and opium addictions with his ambition for medical discovery and reputation among his peers. Harvard graduate Dr. Algernon Edwards must fight for respect within the all-white-populated hospital, as well as the racially charged city. While literally struggling to keep the lights on, the hospital attempts to attract a wealthy clientele, without sacrificing quality care.

i watched every episodes of it.. the 1st season was good, but went downhill.. its closer to romance-comedy than horror. pure entertainment, popcorn series.. they showed sookie's boobs, that worth my time..

watched 2 opening episode of tyrant, an ok series. as a competent speaker of arabic, i find it awkward seeing arabs speaking english all the time. but i understood on why they did it..

for more serious series about middle east (palestin-israel), watch the honourable woman. uk made, pro israel of course. but suitable for the time we are in.

tyrant is pretty boring after 1st episode, episode 7 seems to be the turning point whistling.gif

I gave up on Tyrant after 3rd or 4th episode. I picked up The Honorable Woman and it's so much better. I binged watched all 6 episodes and loved it. This is a lot closer to Homeland in terms of spies and espionage. Maggie Gyllenhaal's performance is absolutely stunning - her British accent sounds really natural, never knew she had that in her.

Hows Tyrant developing ? Has Barry turned to the dark side ?

The latest ep of Honourable Woman is pretty crazy. Loved it.

more on political romances of Mary Queen of Scots to intelligently survive at the French Court , her pits against Queen Catherine (Francis’ mother) & all the twists & turns of the fictional parts but still tried very best to stay true to the basic history ; the show has no nudity, no very reckless violence or very gore scene

season 2 will debut on Oct 2, 2014

there is a thread on Reign (The CW Series)

Surprisingly coming from Cinemax, its not trashy at all like Banshee(And I like that show too). Very minimal nudity and profanity. And well done too. Love the early 20th century set.

Yeah i'm loving it. Kinda reminds me House, but darker and atmospheric. Combined with the techno beat, it kinda gives the show a rather unusual and unique tone.

the strain not great but okay-ish. better than the walking dead and helix (deadly virus/ apocalypse /zombie genre).

i prefer the last ship because military elements, which is cool..
