Caught up on the first series of Top Boy as my lady hadn't seen it - can start the new one now.
Finally watched a few episodes of Ideal - a lot better than I was anticipating. Actually pretty good!
Oh, and new Boardwalk started last night.
AUTUMN!

I've been making my way through The Walking Dead and have been enjoying every minute of it.
Currently half-way through season 3.

Boardwalk Empire (got upto 3rd series and it just seemed to be repeating itself a bit)

Sometimes it's just a bit too much like watching Eastenders or Jeremy Kyle: constant anger/shouting and arguing

family tree (christopher guest)
It has old people being funny, lineage searching, civil war reinactments, a main character that is a hobby ventriloquist and a lead with an irish accent but it's good

Watched the film for about the first 30 minutes and it was one of the most boring self-indlugent things I've ever seen, majorly disappointing.
Been getting into Sons of Anarchy recently, nearing the end of the first season and really enjoying it so far
