Good stuff, I'm just getting to the end of the season 3 box set (having picked it up towards the end of season 4). Then it's season 5 on sky+.

Good stuff. The only thing I don't like on is the adverts. It's far easier watching at as a box set, I did that with falling skies.

I agree! Walking dead and game of thrones are my 2 favourite shows right now

Roll on next week

Gotham is pretty good also

Edge of the seat stuff.

If you download on Sky after the show it takes the ads out.

Have to check that one out, always looking for something decent as there's fcuck all on UK TV.

A few I'd really recommend are:-

Breaking Bad
The Wire
Justified
Ray Donovan
The Killing

That was anther series that I was late to the party on. Managed to pick it up around the start of season 4 and it made enough sense, dunno if I'll go back to the start or not.

The Wire - Easily the best programme I have ever seen. Although Avon Barksdale did have an uncanny resemblance to the Pink Panther lol

Walking dead, this is a comedy show isn't it?
Makes me laugh anyway.
I would always go with the shotgun.

Except the Samurai sword seems to work far better.

Great first episode, back to it's gory best.

My only reservation is we may have to endure a few weeks of a Terminus off shoot. The 'Then' and 'Now' looked like we're going to get more flashbacks to the beginning of Terminus. TBH I'm not interested in how it came to be full of cannibals.

That close though and you don't have much margin of error.

Strange that there are virtually no shotguns in this show. Maybe it's something to do with special effects costs. A 20 yard shot to the head with the right shell would do some serious damage, and if you look at some of the practical shotgunning weapons there are some well into the teens on magazine size. In the U.S. (fairly predictably) you can buy a self-loading shotgun with a rotary magazine.

Don't know why they didn't do some more, Series 5 is every bit as good as Series 1.

Have a look around Upton, Baltimore on Google Earth, it's every bit as grim in reality as on the show.

This place is becoming a bit like the walking dead, only a few "survivors" left who post with any regularity!

Just watch Z nation and its pretty similar


I was watching Power and that stopped after 8 episodes and that's a good program if you like the film American Gangster 9
