Good to see 9 (via GO) are televising the kiwi Underbelly series, "Underbelly NZ: Land of the Long Green Cloud" starting this Saturday night at 9:30pm.

Saw it a year or so ago and thought it was pretty good.

Anyone else been watching "True Detective" on Fox?

Awesome show, and the acting from McConaughey and Harrelson is as good as you'll see, particularly MM.

Good, been kicking myself all day that I may have missed a flash or two. :)
The same. American Pie, still so, so funny after watching it a dozen or more times.

same.

i have a love-hate relationship with the walking dead. the good episodes are really really good, but there is too much filler where the story just plods along. they fail at ratcheting up the tension in a controlled way before the inevitable explosions, they just seem to come out of nowhere.

shows like dexter and breaking bad did a much better job of getting you to the edge of your seat episode after episode before finally the big payoff occurs

totally agree... It's one my fave shows though.

I'm only half way through season 2 of Breaking Ba, it's pretty good... And Dexter will go down as one of my all time fave shows... Except for the finally :(

Dexter finale was the biggest steaming pile of dog crap ever. Rest of the show was great though, particularly S4 with john lithgow.

Breaking bad is the equal best show ever made, with the wire.

If you think it's good now just wait, it is one show that I can honestly say gets better with every season, not too many shows can do that
