subzero said:weasel said:subzero said:Serious?.. iv'e been on the fence about whether or not do try it out, iv'e been kind of proud though of the fact i'm the only one on the planet that's never watched it. :lol:
I may have to reconsider. :?
I watched the first two episodes of the first series. I was bored shitless. It's like a soft core porno with fantastic production values. But if I want porn, there are better places to look (apparently) and the plot was just dull. The missus loved it though. She watched all of the series.
I also gave up on the Walking Dead after 3 or 4 series. I just got bored when the govenor came in. I was sat there waiting for something to happen and yet it was just episode after episode of monotony. Maybe it was all 'character development' but i diubt it. I still have about 80 episodes on sky plus, not sure i'll ever get round to watching them though.
Now that's made me think twice about watching it, don't think i'll bother then, pornhub vids probably even has better stories too. :lol:
The only two series iv'e ever got into was Smallville which was ****ing amazing in the last 2 or 3 series, until the very disappointing last series which was a bit boring and a real letdown but I had to watch it all because I was already invested and had to finish off 10 years of watching the damn thing. And my favourite series of all time is without a doubt Breaking Bad, the only series iv'e ever watched where I loved every episode from beginning to end, and also the only series iv'e seen twice.
Wow... I love how we all have such differing tastes and opinions on things that (as geeks) you may expect us all to like.
I thought Smallville was really poor viewing, actually can't think of a redeeming pert of it at all, I have to admit that comment is based on teh first series, which I forced myself to finish through as it was so painful.
Breaking Bad was decent (but massively overrated) until the final series which to this day I regret watching as a) it made no sense, b) was totally made to exploit the audience and c) was the worst acted of the lot. I have though watched it all twice, once on my own and once with the wife. She (thankfully) was in agreement! :lol:
Now, Game of Thrones on the other hand (for me at least) was utter crap for the first 3-4 episodes (but I was warned to push through), I did exactly that and I'm so glad I did, because then it got good, by series three it gets into my top five TV shows ever and just keeps getting better and better. I will caveat that the last series we have had did have 1.5 very weak episodes, but to drop that, out of what, seven series I think is some achievement in itself. Again I have watched all episodes through twice.
Walking Dead is decent, but not great TV. The last series though I just stopped watching after 2 episodes. I have been advised that I might want to watch the final episode to get back up to speed.. so I might try that.
Best TV ever for me is The West Wing, followed by The Wire. All other TV pails in comparison in my eyes.
