Just been going through the contents of my PVR and it seems I recorded every episode of the above programs. So as I can't remember what they're about (although Camelot, hmm got a guess there's a King Arthur in it) can anyone recommend these as good viewing?

I'm not short of space on the PVR, but they've been on there ages and they annoy me being there. The only trouble is I have no idea when I'm going to bother to sit down to watch them all.

Are any of them worth watching?

Btw normally I like action and sci-fi so they might not be my cup of tea.

Camelot has Eva Green, Claire Forlani and some other blond getting naked often.
This is what made me watch the whole series. If im honest I probably wouldn't of watched it other wise.
Its fairly easy to watch though as in the storey line isnt massivle complicated, apart from the people which turn into other people.

Haven't seen the others.

Justified is good, if a little basic (its not the most complicated of ideas, but its good fun, and well played). Definitely worth giving it several episodes before you give up. I wasn't hugely impressed....but I watched all of the 1st series, and then the 2nd! So i guess it was OK!

If you like action, don't bother with Rubicon. I liked it, but it is very slow and zero action.

Don't bother with Camelot it's terrible (excluding the birds) terrible script, worse acting, poor effects and very very slow.
It survived 2.5 episodes before being cancelled and deleted.

I really enjoyed Justified as I loved Tim Oliphant's character from Deadwood and the guy he's playing here is basically the same guy but in modern day. Plus it has Walter Goggins from the Shield as the baddie. Enjoyed the first series, but I haven't rushed to watch the second.

Justified is a great series. Not as simplistic as it first appears, especially the relationship between the leads. Well worth giving a try imo.

Camelot is horrible, woeful acting, hopeless miscasting...Spartacus is much better, Game of Thrones is best
Rubicon is ace, the thinking man's 24, http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
but it was cancelled, you might not wish to bother
Justified is also great, the best one, I thought it was a basic procedural at first, but it is so much better than that.
