Justified is just a great show, the two Oliphant and Goggins are both excellent in it. Well written and acted.

Why is Justified so great? I liked Oliphant in Deadwood and Goggins in the Shield (and SoA lolandrotrop). What else has it got going for it?

Sons Of Anarchy...what a show. Fecking brilliant.

I love how SoA evolved from start to finish. So dark at the end yet it started like a f**king comedy.

Agreed, did you like the way it ended??? I thought they did it well.

I'm only up to season 4, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the evolutions of the characters, and their relationships.

Clay and Jax, Unser and Clay, Bobby and Clay, Gemma and Tara, Opie and Lyla...

Well-written and well-acted (especially Katey Fatal and Ron Perlman).

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah well don't get attached to them. [/spoilers]

Yeah I thought it was fitting. But I don't have very high standards - I even liked the way Dexter ended.

Never watched Dexter, it's on my list.

Better Call Saul is ok. I haven't watched the entire season yet but I understand that it's just setting itself up. As a spin-off, it doesn't have to hook you from the get go because you were hooked because of BB. So it can have a bit of a different first season as long as the second season moves it towards the BB-esque character we expect.

Excited about GoT but to be honest it doesn't come close to Justified, which is the best written show since The X-Files. I'm seriously gonna be a little depressed once it's over.

Hey HJ. I have Breaking Bad, Justified and Walking Dead. I have watched Walking Dead and am now up to date. Haven't seen the other two. I find Walking Dead to have too much filler episodes. Tell me how the other two compare to True Detective or The Wire? I still think The Wire is the best show ever made. I also love Ray Donovan.

 

[hineyrulz]

Walking dead started of great but the last few series have been a massive let down, the writing is beyond bad.

Justified is, hands down, the wittiest show to have been on TV in a decade. Look, the characters are great, the storylines interesting etc but the dialogue between the characters is fantastic. It's all very dry, too, which just makes it better.

Seriously, if anyone is looking for something to watch I absolutely recommend Justified. It would be in my Top 5 TV shows of all time.

 

[Avenger]

Have you seen The Wire yet, HJ?

don't bother going past season 4

i disagree with pou - the final episode was comical

Walking dead started of great but the last few series have been a massive let down, the writing is beyond bad.

i always thought they simply over acted - it makes it corny at times .... but I always felt like every episode finished with me wanting to find out what happens next - had to watch one more

Where did you watch it ?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

It seems to be on FX channel on Fox, Twiz. I'd never noticed the show's existence until a few here mentioned it. Kind of hoping to see it from the start.

 

[T.S Quint]

The Wire is the f**king tits!
Such a great show, but it's not for everyone. Most people would find it too slow and boring.

The Shield was also f**king excellent.

 

[Gronk]

You merkins who watch Better call Saul must watch it on Stan ? If so, you do watch it on your smart TV, your PC, tablet or maybe Apple Air or Chromecast ?

Same question goes to youse Netflix merkins. How do you watch it ?

 

[T.S Quint]

I've got Netflix on my PC which is connected to my TV.
