Smashed all five seasons and must admit, my penis is still throbbing a bit. I've watched all of Game of Thrones also. I'm now utterly lost as I hate normal tv and only really use my box for sport! Any suggestions on what to hit next?

Didn't think of that, I did wonder what that blue thing outside my window was.

Fringe is ace. Takes some episodes to get into and has some slow character building and a long running backstory throughout the 5 series. I liked it tbh.

Everyone keeps saying its ace but no problem is ever difficult to solve and the mental scientist guy seems to have the answer to every fucking obscure thing in the world and happened to have invented it 
It's interesting and some bits are exciting but it's just all a bit "easy"

I did the same with the walking dead and game of thrones whole days spent watching them.
Must download breaking bad, although I didn't see it on sky on demand.

Boardwalk Empire, brilliant series and casting! Also Homeland is worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.

That's my main gripe!
"Look at this obscure, magical weapon! This is a real challenge."
"Hey, I invented that back in the 80's!"
"..."
"..."
"Problem solved then."
This, and the fact that they didn't try the slightest to make any of the science even remotely plausible. The fucking doctor doesn't know the difference between volts and amps and seems to think they are the same, yet he's able to hack in to peoples brains with a bathtub and some wires.
He's also been locked away for years, but has no difficulties using modern computer equipment and operating systems.
Now, I love science fiction and know it's a genre where you often have to look past a few plot holes, but Fringe just isn't remotely believable and the fact that they seemed oblivious to this issue and did nothing to address it just annoyed me.

Knights and dragons and horses and shit. And lots of sex.
It's a brutally violent depiction of an alternative middle ages, where all the realms of a small world are at war over who get to rule them all.

Fringe was good until JJ Abrams done his usual and had no storyline or direction after the first couple of series, was just a mess after that, I don't actually know what happened the rest of the way through.
Was also pretty repetitive, as has been discussed above, that happened in just about every episode.
Something weird happens, it's related to what he done years ago, they normally catch/kill the baddy.

Breaking Bad and Dexter come top of my list.
Game of Thrones is meh and Homeland is dog turd.
Just coming to the end of S2 of Suits which I've enjoyed.

Fringe comes under the same category as Under The Dome and Arrow, tried to kid myself on it was good until the interest completely fizzled out.
Game of Thrones is superb and Homeland was as well for the first 2 series. It has started in reverse this series thus far.

Fringe is fucking amazing!!!
Homeland is pretty good, as is Revolution but wouldnt class either as in the same brackets as BB, GOT etc., however, Mad Men most certainly is

Yup thats my gripe, it seems amateur in its story telling, which is a shame as the story is generally interesting!
