I think it starts on HBO shortly, but I've not watched much TV in the last month or so.

According to the Radio Times, part one isn't the best but then part two suggests it lives up to expectations. So don't give up after part one!
Also one of the veterans whose story they are covering said all it needed was a bit more humour

Thanks LL. That could be why they are showing two episodes back to back then. I think they did that with Band of Brothers to keep your interest when it was first shown.

I've seen the first episode of The Pacific so far and really enjoyed it, thought it was very good indeed.

Again, I haven't had a chance to go through all 37 pages of posts yet on this topic so this may be a repeat.
I have been enjoying "Waking the Dead" - what a fantastic series. Trevor Eve is amazing as Peter Boyd. I have watched the first two series on dvd and working series 3 and 1st on the list at my library when series 4 comes in. BBCCanada has been showing more recent episodes too.
I am a fan of CSI & CSI NY (hate CSI Miami), Bones, Cold Case, Without a Trace...but I think WTD outshines them all.

I really love waking the dead! Boyd is truly amazing
I have started watching the Mentalist recently which I also like, usually I don't watch American TV shows that often but I make an exception for The Mentalist, House and Grey's Anatomy
Ooh and what does evryone think of 24? I have never seen it but people say it is a lot like Spooks? Worth me getting a box set? haha

The Mentalist is good, when I remember to watch it. I keep forgetting to set the DVR to record it too.
24 is what Americans would expect from Spooks. It's pretty good. I'd argue they've 24ized Spooks starting with Series 5.

I am probably in the minority here, but I didn't like 24. I have only watched series 1 and found it to be too slow for my liking, and the way Jack seemed to only work on his own. But I know a lot of people really like this series.
RE: What other TV do you watch? - Nitrus - 31-03-2010 01:45 PM
I didn't like it either. I didn't get past the first two episodes of season 1.

No I agree HellsBells. I got to hour 5 of series 1, after guessing most of the plot up to that point correctly, and gave up. It really didnt do it for me and that was before my Spooks addiction.
I have purchased the complete Sopranos box set but have only watched 4 episodes so far and I have had it for a couple of months now. I havnt totally given up but it hasnt grabbed me like other people said it would.
