I'm currently watching "Two Legends" - it's a fairly low budget Russian clone of Spooks, but it's pretty watchable and the female lead (Ana Popova) is cloud9

Has anyone else started on Braindead? It's quite light and pretty silly (alien bugs eating people's brains in the White House) but it's well written and the intro songs are just superb. It's good to see Mary Winstead (the parolee girl in Fargo S3) in a leading role as well - she's rather good I have to say.
Thanks for that. It's excellent.

Just about to get into this.

Loved watching Viking grow into the show it is now.

It was a bit like blacksails. Bit low budget at first but gets loads better as the series unfold.

Just finished season 2 of Startup - loved it.

It did feel like the end though, didn't get the feeling that season 3 would be coming, but who knows.

I didn't have Martin Freeman down as a great actor, but I thought he was mind-blowingly good at times.
The startup is great.

Everyone should watch this.

I'm now on Roadies - again, not exactly cutting edge stuff but the soundtrack's great and it's an enjoyable way to while away 45 minutes.

Struggling to get into this, not the same without Ragnar and Rollo

Foiund an Amercian comedy series (short sketches really) Funny or Die last night. Watched a few of them last night. I enjoyed Charlize Theoron's phone clips and a couple of Kristen Bell's sketches. Robert DeNiro "acting is like making a sandwich" was also good. Some where quite misable.

The story of Ragnar played out in the last series. How long is someone supposed to spoiler-tag a series?

Anyway, Rollo may yet make an appearance. He was the great great great grandfather of William the Conquerer and we haven’t seen him come to an end in the series.

Ehh, fair enough. I was thinking more for people using this thread as inspiration for series they've not seen. No biggie smile

If they've not seen it they won't know who they are anyway, so how can it be a spoiler? - we are on Season 5 after all wobble

And for those of us who are on say season 2?
I'm being difficult, I sacked it off then. But there will be some who are working their way through.

You might like to brush up on what a spoiler is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(media)

You can only spoil something if the person has not seen it.

.
Just out of interest if it was a film how long would you give it before revealing scenes, deaths, endings etc?
I think I'd take inspiration from the various threads already in existence on PH. In the "Films" thread, people mostly post impressions, rather than direct synopses, of new films, and more details as the film ages.

However, in the "GoT" thread, if it has legitimately aired in the UK, then it's fair game for discussion. I think that's appropriate for all series.
