I think that Breaking Bad proved that television has become a much more prominent role in people's lives. This serie is definitely one of the best series i've ever seen and i'm not the only one saying that. To bad that i'm now have to look for another serie that has to fullfill the emptiness of live.

- Oh, and it's true that Twin Peaks starting to suck after they found the killer. The first season was great, but the second season is a bit dull and does not know how to implement the ideas it has on a good manner. The killer was for my a big suprise, but also a bit cliche. In most cases it's always the dad that killed his beautiful daughter.

no, i'm just messing about.
And I really enjoyed the second series tbh. Yeah it went a bit off the rails but it still had Audrey Horne so i'm happy! Also, I think the last episode or two is some of the creepiest things i've seen on the telly!

I watched House of Cards after watching Boss (another political tv show) so House of Cards seemed not so good for me compared to Boss. And also, I didn't like it when Kevin Spacey talks to the camera...
The Shield is definitely a very good tv show.
I'd recommend two series:
- Lights Out: about a boxer's comeback... epic. It's a shame it got cancelled.
- Rectify: about a teenager who spent 19 years in death row then got out after new DNA evidence. Really good one.

Enjoyed the first series... apparently it's better if you don't know too much about actual Vikings; which I evidently don't because I thought it was pretty great. Floki >>>>>>>

It might just be a case of people on the Internet always having to know a bit more than each other tbh... it's not like it's aimed at teaching schoolkids or anything; a bit of artistic license is more than acceptable!
