Emmy noms announced.

Game of Thrones picked up 19, followed by Fargo with 18.

Good luck picking a winner in the "Best Actor in a Drama Series" category...

We really are in a golden age of television at the moment. Those dramas are all top shelf (haven't seen downton abbey but the mrs seems to like it)

A-lot of the shows snubbed are quality, too.

Especially The Americans.

Overlooked and underrated...

You're the first I've ever heard say something positive about the Americans. One of my favourites.

Pretty good show. By about season 2 or 3 you find yourself thinking this is a bit girly but by then you are committed and too far gone to turn back :oops:

started watching orange is the new black on the weekend. it is really good actually. quite different.

unexpected lesbian action too, which can either be interpreted as an added interest to the show, or a shameless and or sad way of titillating male audiences into watching what is largely a female cast.

either way it has me watching, so make of that what you will.

if you like quirky humour you will love this.

Loved the first season, but Im having trouble getting into the 2nd season, it can't seem to decide whether it wants to be a drama or comedy.

Second season takes a lot longer to build up. I finished it last night & the last two episodes go up a notch & stuff starts happening. Ripping finish to it also.
