Fear The Walking Dead the spinoff series of TWD started today in the US and I think on Foxtel but haven't watched the first episode yet.

Can't work out if it's a bit slow, or whether it's because we sorta know what happens to most people

I've only watched episode one and it did start off slow as apposed to TWD season one where Rick was in the action straight away. I thought it would start like that so they can properly introduce the virus outbreak and show us how it came about. I think it's going to make for some compelling viewing

Yeah I'll stick at it, plus I've got a thing for the main dudes mom so that makes it easier. It's hard to see how they can deliver any shock factor that surpasses what we've had in TWD, but will be great if they can.

Been watching Derek lately. Stars Ricky Gervais as an ambiguously handicapped/autistic guy who works as a carer in a nursing home.

Basically the whole show centres on the theme of kindness, and that it is what makes the world go round.

Part drama part comedy, but I found it very sad. Great show. Only have the 1 hour finale to go

[The Dark Knight]

I don't think there will be any epic shocks or surprises like they've had in The Walking Dead, I reckon FTWD will be good for the backstory/history prior to TWD which could be pretty interesting. I know watching TWD I've wanted to know more about the history of the virus outbreak and see how it all came about.

Have recently started watching Shameless (US version) .. How the hell did I wait so long to watch this? Perhaps the most politically incorrect show I can recall seeing in recent times. Love it!!

[Dogwatcher]

I loved the UK version.
No cringe factor , JK?

It's definitely disturbing at times, in a quirky sort of way, if that makes sense

I've watched it since day 1.
William H Macy is awesome in it.
Waiting for Season 6 to come out in January

Looking forward to Show Me a Hero from the creators of The Wire

Anyone been watching this?
Finding it hard to get in to

No. What way is it hard to get into? Even the wire is quite a slog early as they dont spoon feed you anything, so you really have to concentrate.

I am looking forward to watching it though as the wire is one of my all time favourite shows

I didn't mind the first episode, but unfortunately haven't been able to get back to it yet. Shows like this always take a minimum of 3 episodes to start to get a handle on the characters I find.

Absolutely loved the first episode of the 4th season of The Killing on One on Tuesday night. I'm not normally one for cop shows but I'll miss it.

I think it is because there is one main story and 5 side stories going on at once.
I've finished ep3 and I'm getting an idea of the characters and minor storylines but it definitely takes some attention.

Similar to the wire in that sense I suppose

My girlfriend and I found and started watching Upper Middle Bogan on Netflix tonight. Very funny show, unfortunately there's only the one season of it

[Dogwatcher]

Two seasons, mate. The second is just as funny.

I watched the whole season of Utopia on Netflix over the weekend.

Very funny show. My kind of humour.

The Hollowmen is also a must see.

Watching Narcos on Netflix, best show I've seen for a while!
