Bit bored of TV at the moment, need a good series to catch up on/watch. Did Breaking Bad in about 5 weeks (all seasons), though my record was The Walking Dead last year - all 6 (then) seasons in just over 3 weeks. After that I was so immersed in it, that I used to keep a look out when taking the dogs out for 'walkers' :) I'm considering (I've not seen any episodes):

Prison Break
Better Call Saul
24
House of Cards
Line of Duty
Between
Continium

Any thoughts or ideas?

I've just started to re-watch Life on Mars, with Phil Glenister as the inimitable DCI Gene Hunt.
Funnier than I remembered. Will watch a further two episodes this afternoon.
 
Line of Duty is absolutely superb. Thoroughly recommended, but you need to start right at the beginning. Also recommended if you like police drama with fantastic background scenery: Hinterland.
Line of Duty was very good....difficult to remember what happened in the past. That will only get worse after another 2 year delay. I liked Hinterland....rather moody programme...makes Wales seem like it is in another century and on another continent. :)
 
Think I must be the only person never to have watched a single episode of breaking bad or game of thrones.

I've never seen an episode of GOT and hadn't Breaking Bad until last year when Mrs Fats and I started watching it the first series. Was enjoying it and then the wife stopped watching as her Uncle was diagnosed with the same illness and couldn't cope watching it. I'll watch it again.
 
Ha anybody been watching Little Boy Blue?

Very sad dramatisation of true events.

I've been meaning to watch it, is it on catch up?

It's about the young lad shot in Liverpool isn't it?

Is it Rhys Jones or have I made that up?

Prison Break is superb. You'll need to watch the previous 4 seasons before starting on the current one though.
 
That's the one. Probably on catch up. Shown 2 of 4 so far.

You shouldn't watch it!

Why shouldn't I?

I find these sorts of things interesting*

Is it bbc or itv etc.?

*sorry completely wrong word but couldn't find one I was looking for!
 
Diane Keaton:emoticon-0152-heart. Oh, and Jessica Chastain :emoticon-0152-heart

I think that was a first time for Keaton. Memorable to go around kissing everybody. One wonders whether the male members of the audience took up the invite afterwards.
Jessica Chastain needs to buy a flat around the corner from the studio, such is the frequency of her appearances. No complaints here though. And Michael Fassbender AGAIN. !?! Again, no complaints though, as he's always entertaining. I always expect James McAvoy to pop along just so that their buddy cartoons can be aired again. How odd are they.?
Poor old Kevin Bacon was getting constantly upstaged, but it was nice to see him taking it all in good part.

I heard a radio interview with Kevin Bacon where he said that he knows that he's never likely to win an Oscar, but is always pleasantly surprised that he never seems to be out of work. A genuinely nice bloke, I always think.
