They know this mission could be their last. A close-knit, elite military unit take on a high-risk extraction operation in the heat of war-torn Iraq. Explosive, tough action drama.
 
Just done 30 minutes of The Thursday Murder Club. Had read the book so intrigued to see what they had done with it. Personally found it terrible. Totally over-cast and stuffed with big names and over-dressed sets. Usual totally incompetent detective which you can live with in the book but becomes comedy turn on TV.
 
Watching Dexter for the first time, very nice show (although he should have been picked up by the cops in the second season. From the second season the show writers went for more grand moments instead of realism)

Tried watching Sopranos, it felt like a parody of mob movies, very poorly written show with cheesy characters and the special effects and toy guns used? You would expect the props team to acquire more realistic looking props or at least get the camera team to avoid close-up shots with scenes involving fire arms. This show was done in the late 90's / early 2000's, I have seen movies from the 70's and 80's with better props. If you are ever interested in watching the sopranos, just watch some of the decent highlights on Youtube, at the same time if you ever wanted to see how flawed the show is, you can also do that on Youtube, so many laughable moments there.

Now to the more recent shows:
The King of war (Jason Momoa), great show
Alien Earth, I am trying to get into it but it's just not working
Deli boys, funny show, feels like the inbetweeners but with Americans and a more older cast. Just turn your brain off and watch it for the fun of it.
 
Watching 'Smoke' - about 6 episodes in currently.

First couple were a bit slow and it was only the visuals and fire that kept me watching. But things have improved, the acting is very good and so is the script. There is a lot of depth and darkness to the characters which is making it a gripping watch.

Been doing Dexter myself over last couple of months or so, started last series last night. Any one know if the spin offs are worth a watch?
