The Leftovers is seriously good (aside from Chief Garvey's daughter, who I hate). I watched all five episodes today and am eagerly awaiting the next. I recommend.

 

Although, you can TELL that Damon Lindelof is involved.

It's good to see some Silicon Valley love, it's everything i could want from a "nerd" based comedy and Mike Judge is always ace.

 

I've started watching the X-Files from the very start, not watched it properly and only ever caught the odd episode as a kid. I thought it'd age really badly but i'm loving it, even the episodes that many seem to think were shit (except Space, that's fucking garbage). Tooms has to be one of the best baddies ever, shame he only lasted two epsiodes.

Leftovers opened up a bit more in the latest episode. 

Watching it you can't help but feel the plot is going to turn into a car crash but with it being based on a book (i think) and HBO behind it hopefully it has a plan. 

The Nora episode 100X better than the Matt one which at this point just seems a waste of a episode.

That episode just seemed like a long way round of showing the GR buying up the church.

 

However, given the bleakness of the show, I was watching from behind my hands when Matt was in the casino. Couldn't believe he actually did it and won. But then, of course, he nearly got robber after so...

I just finished ep4 of The Leftovers. I'm kind of enjoying it but it's so fucking bleak and depressing that afterwards I just feel sad. Also there is no clear direction as to where it's all going so it's kind of hard to stick with it at this point. I'm hoping it picks up later on. At the moment it's just this grey sad floundering show with interesting characters but nothing really to show for it.

The arrival of The Shield on Netflix means I'm burning through it.

 

Excellent show. It owes a LOT to Homicide (one of the main characters, Dutch, is basically lifted completely from that show) but with the addition of a crazy Vic Mackey character to weld it all together.

I see the history channel are showing X Files at the moment, ive never watched it and want to give it a go. They have nearly finished season 1 and starting on season 2 soon - Can I dive in now or is it the sort of show you really need to have been watching from the start?
