    Season 1 of Heroes was really good, it doesn't get mentioned much. Just watch the first season though as a stand alone. S2 sucked and I think it was then cancelled.

    Bluff watch the mini series by the same people that made The Wire - it's called 'The Corner' - it's a 6 part mini series from HBO.

    It's very similar to The Wire - However, each episode is based on a member of one family from the ghetto. It's based on a true story too - very, very good <ok>

    Here's a trailer for it <ok>

    [video=youtube;yaB_FN3j6x0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaB_FN3j6x0[/video]

    It's kinda weird as a lot of the actors from The Wire are in it but playing opposite roles - the cops are the junkies <laugh>

    Daniels is quality in The Wire - but Fringe is the biggest load of bollocks I've seen since The X-Files.

    I quite liked the X-Files at the time, but I agree on Fringe I watched 6 episodes and binned it.

    I like it, has the lost kind of guess where it is going next thing to it. Also has loads of Lost characters pop in and out as well.

    but hey, different strokes and all that.

    I started watching the river but it is probably only going to get one season. Done by the people who did paranormal activity, not bad but it seemed really rushed, everything just jumped from one thing to the other within episodes, not really any carry over.

    Walking dead is really good I think as well and the video game is not bad either ectually ( you make decisions that lead you to a certain path, what people think of you, who lives/dies, etc)

    Really enjoyed the first episode of S2. May give the game a go once I finish Skyrim.

    Warning though with it, It is done by like episodes and seasons so right now you can buy season 1 with like 12 episodes but at the end they leave you a cliffhanger about what is coming up and you have to wait for season 2. Nice idea but hard to take once you get into it!

    <laugh> Quality film too.




    The cast of Mystic River is unreal

    Tim Robins
    Sean Penn
    Kevin Bacon
    Laurence Fishburne

    And directed by Clint Eastwood!
