    Like four times? :icon_mrgreen: It is one of the best shows ever made. Funnier than most comedies these days, exciting, dark, brilliant cast and I think the thing that gets me the most is that looking at the concept there could have been seasons worth of material before it ever got stale. Sadly Fox screwed it over multiple times, airing episodes out of sequence, moving what time it was shown every week, not even showing certain episodes.

    Captain Reynolds is one of the best characters ever, but it's a fantastic ensemble cast. Couldn't recommend it more.

    You finished it yet? Still 10/10? It's highly regarded as a superb show from the reviews I've read which makes me wonder why it was ever cancelled after only 1 season.

    Do you get conclusion when it ends or are they all sorts of unanswered questions?

    Will it work on phones to? Would love to be able to get the US Netflix on my phone

    Aye, theres an app for android as well.

    I think it's basically a dns converter or something, I'm with virgin media so I can go on the blocked movie sites with this as well.

    The us netflix has a much bigger selection.

    So do you have the US Netflix on your phone yourself? And is it easy to swap back to UK one?

    No I don't have it on my phone- but the app is easy enough to use, works great on the laptop, switch back and forth no problem between lots of different world servers.

    Anybosy watched Starcrossed.
    Liked premise of it but the lead actress in it irritates me so much that i stopped watching after 2nd episode.
    She is the 'star' of the programme so i assume she will stay in it for the long haul so i won't watch it.

    Not been watching any series' for the last 6 months apart from Game of thrones.

    I'd still say the best I've seen are:

    1) Sopranos (watched it 3 times through)
    2) Twin Peaks ( there is just something about this series, I wish I knew what it was. Whether it's eccentricity of characters and plot I dunno but it is truely marvellous. If it would have went on longer it would have been number 1.
    3) The Wire
    4) Oz
    5) Lost
    6) Homicide life on the street
    7) Southland
    8) Game of thrones
    9) Breaking Bad

    Got Prison Break, Sons of Anarchy and The Shield to watch next as I've downloaded them all, any advice on what to watch first from what my preferences are above?

    I've seen all three and there all superb tv. For me, the first season of Prison Break is the best season of any season out off all tv shows I've ever seen.

    The ending of The Shield was amazing. Sometimes you get a tv show where the finale fails, nothing worse watching a tv shows for a number of season then boom!! * ending. Well this doesn't happen here. Superb finale, only second to Breaking Bad. Season 5 though, Forrest Whitaker makes an appearance and plays the role brilliantly.

    Sons Of Anarchy is the best out the three. It literally gets better every season. Shitloads of action. Seen many reviews where people have said it's The Sopranos but on motorbikes. My second favourite tv show only to Breaking Bad. But if the final season of The Sons ends strong later in the year it'll top it.

    Sons of Anarchy, only seen parts of The Shield and Prison Break is only really good for the first season.

    So I would go with Sons of Anarchy which is a very, very good programme

    PS - also watch Boardwalk Empire, Spartacus and American Horror Story

    Am way you mate, a thought 1-3 were class. Thoroughly enjoyed season 4 as well, although it did get far fetched at times it was still great.
