No idea if anyone else has mentioned it but I've started watching 'The Returned' and it's been brilliant so far. A bit of a Twin Peaks vibe about it. Available on Netflix.
Warning to you thickos who cannot read: it's French with English subtitles.

Quite enjoyed The Returned. I felt it did tail off slightly towards the end of the series but still pretty darn good. Hopefully the second series isn't too far off.
Channel 4 ran their adverts in French with English subtitles when they showed it. Those guys..

I'd rather have bad dubbing than subtitles

A bit of a Twin Peaks vibe about it. Is Twin Peaks actually any good? I bought the box set ages ago on a whim but haven't bothered watching it yet. |

It's one of those shows that you're supposed to think is dead clever and engrossing. I thought it was utter shite. Pretentious and up itself. |

I have to catch up on Fargo, only made it to episode 4 before I got too far behind and episode 5 is not on 4OD anymore  Excellent news about Utopia, really enjoyed the first series. Couple of decent looking BBC dramas coming up, one was called Common, can't remember the other one. |

Ray Donovan - cant make up my mind about this one, watched the first series and was OK. He's a sort of mildly loveable gangster, with a very creepy John Voigt as his dad. Lots of shagging and violence but I found the overall storyline kind of predictable. Much the same as Banshee - which has much more of both shagging and violence. Take it or leave it, really |

Just finished Season 4 of GOT, definitely the best so far. And it only gets more exciting from this point on folks...

Definately worth a watch... Not on a par with Fargo, but one of the better recent new series that have come out on Sky Atlantic. The characters are really good, and I think it's only 10 episodes ish? so not like the usual 22/23 episode seasons that you get. |

I agree with Herthab on this one, I just didn't "get it". |

I still enjoy it. I think though it was better 'at the time', as back then it was original in style and format. Now it isn't. It took a nose dive though as soon as the murder was solved. |

Twin Peaks was brilliant. Ruined by the network demanding a resolution to who killed Laura Palmer.
