Utopia, ABC (on ABC 2 tonight) - the D Gen folk - very, very good. If anyone one has worked in the public service before or not this is a cracker of a show.

How does it stack up with Frontline and The Hollowmen? Both brilliant shows by the same crew.

FLASH season 2 starts on fox 8 next week and also they've got Arrow season 4 :D

Already set the season record on the IQ. :D

Oh oh oh, just realised both Supergirl and legends of tomorrow are also going to be on Fox 8. :D

Equally good IMO. Worth watching on iView if you get the chance

Yep like watching a factual documentary - so real it is frightening - but still really funny - Rob Sitch is getting better with age - brilliant 👍

Not really a new series anymore but keep forgetting to post in here.

Anyone watching Ray Donovan? Series 3 just finished. I love love love this show. Can't believe I have to wait til next year to watch again.

Didn't really know anything about Liev Schreiber before this, other than being Naomi Watts' partner. He's awesome as Ray. Wouldn't want to mess with him!

Never heard of it, have to check it out ta.

Not loving fear the walking dead, don't know why, it needs a Daryl or something! No personality. I've got it set to record, so will give it a bit more of a go.

I bought the first season of better call Sol on a whim. Started a bit slow, but then wham! Had to stay on the treadmill for the first 15 min of the second episode to see what happened! Funny, black humour, and exciting ! I'm assuming it's written by the same team that wrote breaking bad, which IMO is still the greatest series ever made.

Definitely check it out. After first couple episodes I was a bit unsure but so glad I continued. Series 1 & 2 are pretty racy in places (plenty of sex & boobs) but all in context. Jon Voigt is also in it, Katie Holmes is in series 3. Just such a good show. I reckon you'll enjoy it.

I've just downloaded season 1.

Outside of Breaking Bad not generally into shows were the main character is a bit of bad guy.

Sopranos was well and truly over before I got around to viewing, SOA about 5 seasons in.

Shows like Dexter and The Shield I've never seen and don't really intend to.

I'm trying to decide whether to download season 4 of Clarko's Cluster or whether I'll just wait for it to come on FTA.

I watched the first episode of American Horror Story Hotel, it's been very interesting. It lacks Jessica Lange, but its not been too bad. I like they're doing the backstory type thing again at least for this episode.

I really like Kathy Bates in this show, she's been pretty good. Matt Bomer's character isnt too bad. He's a detective. I won't post any spoilers though.

But this reminds me a bit of how they did Murder House.

Watched the first 3 seasons of Ray Donovan and thoroughly enjoyed them.

TP I think this show is right up your back alley.
