TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
Re: TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
I saw the first season of Bates Motel. Thought it was very good. Its the story of Norman Bates from pyscho whilst growing up with his mother.

I have been catching up on Orphan Black, someone mentioned it on here and I have been waiting for Season 1 to be repeated. Only 2 more episodes to go with Season 1 set to record in the early hours tomorrow and Season 2 starts on BBC3 next Wednesday, already in my Sky planner to record.

Re: TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
Watched the first episode of Game of Thrones season 1 yesterday. Initial thoughts are it looks promising so will watch a few more over the coming weeks. Generally, happy with HBO productions so am confident I won't be disappointed.

Re: TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
I started watching this and agree that it is fast sometimes but easy to watch and you can guess what might have been said. Slick too although not as slick as Suits was. Suits season 3 was terrible I thought so looking at the reviews for Scandal I think I will enjoy this 'time filler' tv show.Yinster wrote:I don't think they talk fast.

It's very watchable. I really like it, but I have taken to watching a lot of US crap - Devious Maids, Mistresses! I really need a bigger garden!
Re: TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot
I've been watching The 100 over the last few weeks and was pleasantly surprised to find a good piece of sci fi TV masquerading as a typical teen genre show. The finale was brilliant and I'm very much looking forward to season two now!
