Don't know if its been mentioned on this thread, but "Nurse Jackie" is similarly a gentle, but entertaining series. The lead character is brilliantly played by Edie Falco, who also played Carmela, Tony Sop's wife.
Also give a shout out for "Scandal"- gripping plot.
Has anyone on here watched Fargo? It’s a spinoff from the film and with some input from the Coen brothers. It’s as dark, inane, humourous and as brutal as you’d imagine. I absolutely love the character Malvo.
Bashed all of Fargo out over three days. Fantastic - Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks and Allison Tolman were brilliant, but Billy Bob is out of this world as Malvo. The ultimate badass.
New documentary series "24 hours in police custody" started last night. Thought it was very good indeed.
As soon as I saw the title, the words "Channel 4, 9PM" sprung to mind. I prefer my "documentaries" fronted by Andrew Graham Dixon or Lucy Worsley to be honest - LOL.

How annoying was that copper in it? Looked like Ricky Gervais with severe tooth decay.
Do you know what VG I didn't mind him to be honest, although the West Ham mug would have to be smashed. His gnashers were shocking though! Liked the moody desk sergeant too.
Anyone tried The Code on BBC 4? Aussie political thriller, watched the first one last night. Showed promise I thought, but also seems very close to a Norwegian series that was on More 4 last winter, forget the name.
Not sure if it's been mentioned but The Knick with Clive Owen is awesome & starts on Sky Atlantic soon. You can download though if you don't wNt to wait
Watched the first episode of 'Gotham' last night. Was all a bit 'Channel 5' if that makes sense. I don't think its gonna be the kind of series to keep you thinking, character introduction was a bit rushed, think they introduced about 6 future bad guys in the 50 minutes it was on for. Will keep watching as there not much else on TV on a monday night.
Gave up on The Leftovers, just couldn't get into it. Got The Knick sky plussed, decided to save Homeland for a bit as it looks as though Netflix will have it for a while, so started The Good Wife and really enjoying it so far.

And Tim Roth is very good in "Lie to me".
Been watching Glue and quite enjoying it at the moment.
The word milf was invented for Robin Wright. Absolute belter!
Good series too.
If you haven't seen it, I think its pretty decent.
American Comedy based on 3 blokes and a New Girl Flatmate.
Bit like a late night friends.
Never going to Critcally acclaimed but a very easy watching 20min episode, and four seasons worth.
