"Here's a question for you lot.... I'm pretty sure most of you on this thread have watched most if not all episodes of Breaking Bad. I've read most posts on this thread and would like your opinions on this series. I've only just started it and am up to season 2 episode 10. Now what I would like to know is, does this series lose its way , or get boring , as it goes on for 5 seasons, I'm really enjoying it at the moment, more than I thought I would, although I didn't know what to expect. Does it drag or does it stay as engrossing as it is at the current state ? Ta"

"cjp180 12:31 Mon Dec 4 I've only been able to find episode 1 of season 3 of Gomorrah with subtitles. Anyone else had any luck with this ? Watched Babylon Berlin over the weekend, crime series set during the Weimar Republic, in German with subs. Started out brilliantly I thought but lost it's way big time by about episode 5 or 6. Still, worth a look for me."

"is that good? I'll have a look watched a few of the yank version of Shameless. its pretty enjoyable and funny, Macy's great as Frank but in just wondering if its worth sticking with for more than the first series :.)"

"Anyway, amidst all this misery have just finished the first season of Godless. It's a Netflix Western, beautifully shot, great acting, best thing I've seen in a while."

"I'm pretty sure nearly all of you did this years ago, but I've only just started watching ""The Shield"" Just finished season 2. So far, so 'kin excellent, for me. Anyone who hasn't seen it, and was wondering whether to give it a go, I heartily recommend it."

"could post this on the documentary thread but watched THE KEEPERS on netflix. a seven part series about the murder of a Nun who had worked in a Baltimore Catholic High School in the late 60s and may or may not have been about to expose a priest who worked at the same school who was abusing many of the young girl students. Its a very good series but leaves you angry at how the authorities covered up the crimes of these sick bastards, no doubt they still do and the murder case still remains unsolved"

"So finally finished The Punisher. Yet another series that tears the arse out of dragging the whole thing out over 13 episodes, although TBF there was a bit of logic to some of that. When it wasn't meandering along at 2 MPH it was interspersed with some ridiculous violence. Not sure how many times the cսnt gets shot, stabbed, battered to fuck, but all a bit too silly, really, even for me. Anyway, more importantly (MUCH more importantly), I just realised last night that season 3 of Gomorrah has kicked off, which I've not noticed mentioned on here. Watched the first episode last night - fucking superb."

"Marvel fucking it up with their Netflix stuff is becoming the norm for me unfortunately. They're dragging the fucker out so far, anyway. Thing is, if you watch back over the Punisher fight scenes from Daredevil, they are so fucking violent, I can't see anyone making a TV series like that."

"Trapped was excellent. Really enjoyed Stranger Things. It's daft but I think it's really well done. Agreed, Miike, it was always going to be hard for Punisher to meet those expectations. Be warned, it drags on. Anyway, hopefully, it'll pick up 2nd half of the season."

"Been mentioned before but 'Trapped' is worth watching, about a mysterious murder in a town in Iceland, only 1 series in."

"I'm on season 2 of The Girlfriend Experience. It's about a nympho law student who becomes an escort. I'd give it a 7/10. Season 2 has different characters. Anna Friel plays a gay government bod, and unlike in Brookside, gets her kit off."
