Burn Notice
Spy Michael Westen gets "burned" by the U.S. Government and all his assets are frozen. Using his spy knowledge, he gets by doing odd jobs and finding out who burned him, and why. Awesome show so far, it's got some detective work, some action, and a dose of MacGyver. Also, motherfucking Bruce Campbell.

This sounded good anyway, but now I find out it's got Bruce motherfucking Campbell in I'll just have to watch it!

Hail to the King baby!

Very funny. Based around the concept of a small american town that happens to house the smartest people in the world (for silly reasons). The whole place is stocked with mad scientists, and the story revolves around the local sherrif. Massively entertaining.

Seems to be bit better than the last series, which was very hit and miss I thought. Perhaps it's finding it's feet at last. Worth a watch if you like sci-fi comedy.

are all fucking whin

hyperdrive series 1 was total miss, ineptitude is funny for so long, but constantly? its like the office, but in space, and I didn't lol once at this or the office, both made me cringe at how painful they were. Series 2 has thankfully restored some of my faith in frost, it does have funny parts, still a lot of shite though.

Also 'burn notice', never heard of it, but Campbell= Groovy! So I will sweep that soonest.

the best part is Bruce plays an ex-spy guy who gets older rich women to sleep with him in exchange for food and shelter. :lol:

Could we make this a sticky please? and add them all into the first post, in genre or alphabetical please

Made it a sticky, but if you want a full list in alphabetical order, you'll have to do it yourself, or wait for me to get really bored at work.

Just watched the first episode of Burn Notice. I enjoyed, seems like it could be a very good series.

That "Irish" woman is fucking annoying though.

This, so hard. Otherwise it's pretty good though.

She keeps changing her accent, and what the fuck is going on with her lips?

All of this :above:

Made me chuckle quite a bit. I like the style and the fact it doesn't take itself too seriously (24, I'm looking at you here).

The Kill Point

Newish merkin series about a bank robbery (I don't wanna give much away) certainly worth a watch.

K-Ville

Cop drama set in (post Katrina) New Orleans, Shows promise (have only watched the first ep)

might appeal if you liked the wire.

They're entertaining, but if it doesn't pick up in storyline next season...it will be dropped...too much competition these days for mediocrenesssss...

A shame really as I rather enjoyed Bum Notice. I doubt it will ever win any awards but it's fairly simple entertainment and that's all you need sometimes.

In other news I was getting the rage watching Silent Witness last night - it's just complete and utter crap! Generic, cardboard cut out characters, written by someone who's been watching too much Quincy, CSI and fucking Casualty. Pull your finger out BBC! Stop spewing out this fucking drivel, get over your own over inflated opinion of yourselves, and make some decent TV.
