Breaking Bad S5 kicked off well a couple of nights ago. If you haven't seen it from the start then do yourself a massive favour and watch the first four series asap.
The Newsroom looks a lot of fun too. Love Jeff Daniels!
Hell on Wheels... building the (USA) transcontinental railway. Corrupt management, brutal conditions, rough chaps doing the real work... not so different from today's workplaces!
I watch many US shows, some shown here and some not.
Eastbound and Down House (just finished)
Eastbound and Down 1st season was brilliant, think it went downhill after that. I used to love House but the repetitiveness finally got to me after about season 6. I'm currently working my way through Rescue Me, not the greatest but enjoyable in a sit there not think kind of way, some hilarious moments in it.
There's a scene in the second series where he signs for the Mexican club and comes out wrapped in the stars and stripes with fireworks and music going off, doing a dance and giving the disinterested crowd the finger, that absolutely cracks me up no matter how many times I see it. I'd love it if we would sign someone like that. Maybe Zlatan or JT in 2019.
No mentions for the new Bevis and Butthead which are fantastic and benefit from the addition of crap reality TV to the boys viewing.
As a fellow shift worker, you cant beat the Ricky Gervais cartoon show from E4 to unwind to - 30 mins long so just the right length, makes you laugh and unwind before a kip.

Not a TV series - but there have been some good documentaries on the BBC recently. The "Secret History of Our Streets" and the Shakespeare stuff in particular.
Just finished watching the Danish/Swedish series The Bridge and I can honestly say its in my top 5 shows of all time along with the Sopranos and The Wire . Stunning show that pulls absolutely no punches. Highly recomended.
Did you not find the ending a bit disappointing? it was a good series, i thought it got a bit farcical towards the end. I am now fully up to date with breaking bad, great series.
Finally caught up with season 3 and will finish 4 tonight, this show seems to just get better
Totally agree. I'm now bang up to date with this and eagarly await every episode (season5). Really couldn't see how they could've made more than 2 seasons before running out of ideas but with every season, it just steps up another level.
For anyone who hasn't seen this, give it a go. Takes a few episodes to get going but well worth it.....................

Finishing off BB series 3 at the moment and after a slow start to this one it really has kicked up another level

Walking dead - brilliant! Can't wait for season 3
Dexter - very good

Don't know if it's been mentioned above but watched a cracking few series of 'Friday Night Lights', well worth a watch
