The What's Good on European TV Thread Vs. What's Knock to Watch??

[swedger77]

Seeing as Breaking bad is almost finished what would make the perfect substitute. There has been a void in my life since I ve stopped watching BB.

Can anything compete. BB had me gripped from the start and all the way through. Suggestions please EADD.

^Are you looking for another show about drugs, another drama show or just something...gripping?
Well Dexter certainly fits the latter. NCIS and Californication are good too (none of these shows have anything to do with each other but I'm just throwing out ideas). The Wire's about drugs and supposedly really good, although I've never watched it myself.

I've just seen an advert for "Jo". It's fronted by Jean Reno (Leon). Its a close ended crime drama set in Paris. Sounds awesome just cos he's in it tbh. I can't find a download anywhere and I don't have Fox

^How is Game of Thrones? Been thinking about starting it but is it really as good as people say?

 

[gayorstraight]

My colleague keeps banging on about on about how amazing is! I should probably try it, it's got god reviews

 

[ColtDan]

Yeah its really good, deffinately worth checking out

Kay cool, time to get torrenting then

I didn't think much of GoT at first. Is just a bit of a teenage boy wankfest. Wiv added swordfights. But it really grew on me as it went on. Worth a watch. But nowhere near as amazing as it's made out to be.

It's a load of cock!

You're a load of cock

It's a load of cock!

Wha? You are out of your box, knock.

For the production value alone, GOT is wicked!

 

[knock]

Production value? A polished turd is still a turd!

Apparently it's v good if you've read teh books.

I haven't.

 

[ColtDan]

i thought you like it cornish

 

[Cornishman]

I do.

It's just supposed to be alot, lot better if you've read the books.
That's all.

I like Game of Thrones. I tried to read the books, got halfway through the 2nd one before it dawned on me that it was a fucking shift. I wasn't enjoying it at all, just powering on through because I felt I needed to since I'd started them. Gave up. Fucking glad I did. The books are fucking rubbish. The TV series is not bad though. It has a midget, dragons & a few hot birds, what more could you want?

I have to admit that on the Animated side of things I love Bob's Burgers - then probably American Dad - then Family Guy (it's just too samey / and predictable now).

I tried to watch 'Arrow' - its shit ! It's like a Batman / Robin hood potato hybrid

First two seasons are excellent. Both take about three or four episodes to get up to speed.

The third season is a little slower, IMO. The political dimension is reduced and the new characters are less interesting. There's only been two episodes that really grabbed me. Hoping the finales will redeem the season.

Definitely worth checking out though.

I have never watched 'Game of Thrones' - I will have to have a look. It's even easier as I'm a few seasons behind as the earlier seasons can be watched in an afternoon when you can't be arsed to stand up / leave the sofa.
