I'm a bit disappointed with this series. The previous series where he was in prisons, interviewing white supremacists, going to brothels etc were captivating shows. These one's don't seem to be as challenging.
Ah, sorry to hear that. I suppose it seems to be a common phenomenon in music as well as TV series: people not knowing when to quit.

As for me, I'm watching the older shows on DVD at the moment, and enjoying every minute of them. :)

These ones aren't as "deep" as the others. I think the 'weird weekend' series is more light hearted than the "Louis Theroux" series.

I love them all, he's such a dag.

Last episode of three is the best, I've watched about five times!
I am getting close to that, I like how they have the camera angles as well for the show. Going to be sad when I hit the end of season 4 in a couple of weeks. :(

Which will mean, I'll have to go through them again. :lol:

I've nearly finished the second book. I think this season might be even better than the first.

I've bought the books, but I don't want to know the story line until I have watch them. I think I will start reading the first soon.

I know that sounds like the wrong way around, but I don't want to know the details before I watch the series.

Only just over a week away now. Looking forward to it.

Well, book 5, A Dance With Dragons, will be on TV in in 2015. That's if HBO keep making it. They don't have a great record of seeing things through to the end (Deadwood etc). There is supposed to be 7 books in the series. Do you think you can wait that long?

Book 6 is due out in 2014.

me too, only caught a couple (i have never watched channel 2 so i keep forgetting) but i want to catch up on them all.

apart from the first underbelly series, i reckon this beats the others, got some great actors, Firass Dirani is brilliant as well ascute! has a bit of humour to it as well.

but the female actors are just awesome, and they get some good stories too, its not just about the men, or the exploited woman, as underbelly was.

great show all around

Has anyone watched American Horror Story?

I'm 2 episodes in and don't understand a single thing that's happened. Not sure if I should persevere or not.
