    You'll like 'Justified'- Walton Goggins ('Shane' from 'The Shield') is in it.

    I didn't love the first season, but it improved when they switched from episodic story lines (meaning everything wrapped up in an hour) to continuing ones - season two was better, and season three was excellent- four was decent, and five has been watchable but not stellar- your mileage may vary, of course.

    It you mean season five specifically, it got better halfway through- I agree the first episodes weren't very good.

    It's not great TV, but I like it.

    Anyone watched The West Wing?

    imdb rates it 8.8, so that's a good start, but is it worth a >50gb download?

    I do, I do, never dl just parts...if it's good I don't want to have to wait for the rest to dl or worse, weekly episodes. So, will dl the lot, and if not caught up within the first few episodes can just delete.

    That's the good thing about the www, so much in the way of choice that it raises expectations.

    good show, but I suspect the first few seasons might have aged a bit

    it's the fiction story of the "Clinton" administration in the 90s with events from the Bush years

    It's worth watching during slow times but it's not the same quality of House of Cards.

    Another one is The Blacklist. But again you gotta start from episode one otherwise you wont understand the story. Like you tried and failed with Dexter,

    Pragmatic, my hunky firemen comment was about my future ex fireman husband Terry.

    But still a good show, and has to been watched from the beginning.

    Watched "This Sporting Life", which was to be this fantastic rugby movie. Two hours of bullshit - two minutes of rugby.

    "The Widower". A 3 part mini series from ITV, and based on a true story (all three available via TPB).

    A good description is here:

    Watching "The Hill" with Sean Connery. Great old classic! British army prison in the desert.
