    Yeh a was reading few reviews about that 2 part special. I seen people just started from season 1 and got confused because they never watched the special first.

    BG is on Netflix but no doubt they have the episodes mixed up. I've watched one or two shows on Netflix where that's been the case, Firefly was one of then. They had the last 4 or 5 episodes out of place.

    Didn't know it had a different cast every episode that's nuts. Didn't know it was Sci Fi either. Will need to give it a watch.

    I miss season 2.:54: Season 3 has been such a let down.

    Aye it's pretty weird! Really is fantastic.

    Anyone seen Mad Men? Thinking of starting it after Dexter.

    A few people on here really like it.

    I watched the first season and then started the second, but chucked it after a couple of episodes. It's just really boring, nothing happens.:smiley-laughing002:

    Mad Men's like that show I'd like to watch that I'll never get round to. There will always be another one that I want to start more.

    That new Netflix Daredevil series has been getting a lot of praise, which is the most recent one to jump ahead of Mad Men in the queue.

    Might give it a shot, torn between that and Suits to watch next. Have an ever ending list of TV shows in the back of my mind I need to either start or finish and it stresses me out. :smiley-laughing002:

    Still need to finish Boardwalk Empire, last season of SOA, season 4 onwards of TWD and Dexter. Then want to start GOT, Suits, Mad Men, True Detective, The Wire etc

    Saw Farscape growing up, but can't remember much about it other than it being a bit weird (and not in a funny way)

    Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5 are both excellent, however. BSG is a better modern, straight with the action show, but Babylon 5 is a real sleeper. Probably my favourite show of all as the creator builds so many amazing stories and when you think that's it, he crafts another interesting layer to add to the universe.

    Can't recommend it enough. 1st season is a bit slow and heavy on the foreshadowing, but if you can look past it being an older TV show, it's definitely worth it.

    I'd definitely recommend Suits. Two seasons in to that, really good. I know what you mean, got so many shows I want to see.:smiley-laughing002:

    GOT and True Detective - put them right at the top of your list.:50:

    Cheers for the write up:50: Battlestar Galactica is on Netflix so will get around to it at some point.

    Maybe I was wrong.:54::smiley-laughing002:

    Continued from where I left off in season 2 a couple of days ago, watched about 10 episodes in 3 days to finish the season. It's actually pretty good.

    Going from TWD and even GOT, Mad Men does come across as boring - no action at all in 90% of episodes. But when you take it for what it is, a characters study, slow burning drama then it's good.

    Mad Men is brutal, waste of time.

    I'm re-watching Breaking Bad at the moment with my bird who's never seen it before and it just re-affirms my belief that it's the greatest tv drama I've seen.

    Still really enjoyable even though I've seen it twice before.

    Aye I'm in the middle of that at the moment, really enjoying it. Some quality cliffhangers in it, frustrating as * :smiley-laughing002:

    Apart from the ones that have been mentioned, I liked Top Boy thought it was quite different to a lot of stuff that's been done.
    True Detective is probably the best overall, leaves you wanting more which is what a lot of tv shows fail at, they usually keep it going too long and ruin it.
    Lost season 1&2 I thought were excellent then they totally * it up.
