    1864

    Danish drama on BBC4 . It's absolutely stunning. The nearest i can compare it to is Band of Brothers.

    There have been 4 episodes shown already but they are available on catchup or BBC Iplayer.

    Yes really enjoying it. Anyone watch 1992 just finished on sky arts? Very good about political scandal in Italy at the time.

    Saving 1864 up for binge - love a bit of Scandi-Drama,.

    Anyone been watching the Game? Only watched the first one so far, but it looks very promising.

    Any Mad Men fans on here too? What were people's thoughts on the final episode? Always difficult to end those long series but I thought they did a good job.

    I watched Madmen . I thought the whole final season went out with a whimper but i did like the final scene with the "i'd like to buy the world a coke " advert.

    I know what you're saying, Don's storyline felt a bit contrived just to get him meditating on the cliff top and there were quite a lot of happy endings, but I liked the way they handled Joan making her choose between her career and her man and to be honest, I don't mind a happy ending anyway.

    Like I say, it was always going to be a tough one to end as it never really had a clear end point, there was no crime to solve or war to win, it was really just a very slick, high-brow soap opera and as East Enders and Corrie have shown they can basically go on forever.

    Loved the last two eps of Sons of Anarchy. Silly but a poignant ending.

    Does anyone here watch the animated comedy Archer? What a great show - highly original, witty, silly, and some really unique running jokes.

    It's on Netflix if an adult cartoon about an alcoholic, womanising spy with a Burt Reynolds obsession sounds your thing.

    Laugh-out-loud funny and totally mental.

    One of the rare animated series that is still funny. I think the fact that it's more 'adult' helps it - like Duckman from the 90, being aimed at an older audience means they don't have to be too subtle about the humour and sometimes the belly laughs in it are brilliant

    I had the misfortune to watch sunCRAP last night. Probably the worst 'sitcom' in history unless you know better?

    Yes, very poor. How on earth did the Beeb pass it for production? That Woody character was so cringeworthy.

    True Detective series 2 starts on Sky Atlantic June 22nd. Going to be difficult to follow up on a stunning first series but the trailer looks tasty.

    The Affair on SKY Atlantic is very good.

    The first one was phenomenal. Totally agree the follow up has got a lot to live up to. Very odd casting for the leads compared to the first series also

    Was going to post about it also. It's pretty weird, tense, dreamy and unnerving. It makes for good television.

    It has a bit of that small town Twin Peaks about it.

    I believe Ruth Wilson won an award for it and Pacey Witter is good as well!

    The Game, BBC2, has been excellent. Last episode this week but available on iplayer. Have also enjoyed the Armada docu-drama currently on the Beeb.

    Really enjoyed Stonemouth on BBC2 last night. Some really good acting, I thought. Concludes next week.

    I am also enjoying the new series of The Syndicate.

    I've never liked Lenny Henry but think he is brilliant in The Syndicate.

    our sky box broke and didn't record the first ep of The Game. It only series linked from 2nd ep and then ep 1 wasn't on demand anymore. frustrating. hopefully it'll come back on.

    Not sure if it's been mentioned but did anyone see the jinx on Sky Atlantic ? Fantastic and jaw dropping at times.

    Wayward Pines is like Lost, Flashforward, The Prisoner, Fringe, Twin Peaks, Silent Hill and everything else all rolled into one. Enjoying it immensely, despite it being comically derivative

    Not Safe to Work. C4. Very funny but will get better as you get to know characters.

    Anyone else been watching Man Down on C4? Not seen it mentioned but I have found it one of the funniest new series I have seen for ages (albeit it's on series two now so not technically new anymore).

    Glad I'm not the only one - I laughed for about 10 minutes after the sex scene at the end of the first episode of this series.

    Just caught up with the first two episodes of the new Belgium series "Cordon" which started on BBC4 on Saturday. Absolutely excellent, for all you Foreign TV buffs. Recommended.

    I miss Rust but I'm enjoying the new True Detective. It's not as dark or engrossing but it's still damn cool. The makers really know how to pick a song as well.

    This one is not hooking me like the first series did. And the sound is awful, the dialogue is so slurred it's going to need subtitles

    So far 6/10 lots of room for improvement
