Totally into House of Cards with Kevin Spacey.

I really don't like political themed shows, but he makes it, only watched it originally for him & he doesn't disappoint, now I'm enjoying the show as well as Spacey.

Downloaded season 1 of "The Americans" this weekend and have 3 eps left.

It's not amazing, but not bad.

Has anyone else watched it?

Started watching it the other week. Missing an episode, so I stopped. When I get time, I'll find it.

Someone mentioned House of Cards, I've got that, but haven't started to watch it yet.

Started watching The Walking Dead last night. Only on episode 2 though. Seems okay so far. I've heard good things, so I hope I'm not disappointed.

Magic City started again last week (for those that were watching it), as did True Blood.

Also been watching The Borgias and a new show called Vikings. I've enjoyed watching both.

Suits starts again in July, looking forward to that.

Walking dead is strangely very hard to stop watching especially the first couple of Seasons, the third went a bit of the rails for me, but I'll still keep watching. Four!

Have you watched breaking bad??
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

I finished The Americans. Liked it enough to look forward to season 2.

House of Cards is awesome. Make sure you have some free time because once you start it's very difficult to stop.

TWD is must watch, although the seasons tend to dip out in the middle for a while. They pick up enough though to suck you back in for the next season.

If you haven't gotten on to Veep yet, do that too. Funniest show on TV at the moment.

New shows coming up that I'm looking forward to are:

Ray Donovan (started this week)
The Blacklist
Under The Dome
Hostages

Yeah, I've watched Breaking Bad. Thought it was slow initially, but the fourth season and the first half of the most recent season were fantastic.

Look forward to the next half when it is released.

In regards to Walking Dead, we've already watched the first season (thought that's not hard, because it was a very short season). My wife normally doesn't go for that sort of show, but she's enjoyed it as well so far.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go and let you know what I think. Hadn't heard of it before now.
