Anybody watch Alcatraz? By the creator of Lost and starring Hurley. I'm not going to bother unless I just hear amazing things. I'm still bitter about wasting so much time watching Lost.

Have you tried watching Alcatraz? I've been watching it, and I really like it so far, just wondering how you liked it.

No. When its over, if I hear good things I'll watch it. Otherwise I'm done with Lost type shows.

Watched Countdown to Revolution on BBC 2 last night which was drama-documentary chronicling the final days of the Bourbon dynasty under the ill-fated Louis XVI and his Queen, Marie Antoinette. He funded the American Revolution because he despised the English but broke France.

Caught the first episode of Homeland on Ch4 last night, it's been advertised for a month or so in th UK, and has an english actor, Damien Lewis as the lead role, also has the foxy Claire Danes, so deffo wanted to watch it.

It picked up awards in the states, the Golden Globes, so must be good. Got to say I was impressed by it, liked what I saw and will be tuning in from now on!

That was a top show. Just download it if you dont want to wait each week.

The whole series is great, and surprisingly, considering the whole plotline revolves around the "Is he or is he not a terrorist" theme they manage to not only keep the audience guessing but actually rachet up the tension each week.

It's a brilliant show imo.

For me the new series of Man, woman, wild is all that is relevant in terms of TV. It is important that a man know how to survive in the wild and torture his wife to some degree.

It's a good programme, but I am hardly spoiled for choice. When you start watching Piers Morgan in the evening you know you are short of laughs.

I've been slowly getting through the series on your recommendation. I love it, I'm either on episode 6 or 7 right now, the whole season is OnDemand. I never thought I would say this on here, but: thank you Bilbo.

Yea im one of these that look forward to watching it week after week, makes something of a sunday night.

Dont know if anyone on here watches 'Whitechappel' on a monday in the UK ?

The was a series on last year which concentrated on the Ripper story. This series is all about other murders going on in the Whitechappel area, another good detective series thats worth watching.

And to finish off I really liked the Sherlock Holmes series that was on recently. The way they brought the famous detective into the modern world was really well done, again worth catching if ya can.
