State of Play (highly recommend this mini-series)
The Shadow Line
Luther (Stars Stringer Bell. First series is better than the second.)
The Hour
Downton Abbey
Life on Mars
Jekyll (from Steven Moffat who is also responsible for some of the new Sherlock and wrote some of the strongest Dr. Who episodes)
Dr. Who (can be fairly hit or miss but the peaks are worth it)
Spooks
Inbetweeners
Had not heard of that one, but if Steven Moffat is doing it, then it is worthy of checking out. Thanks!

The Bleak House miniseries, obvs.

That's what I was thinking too and then I saved it to my Netflix instant Queue. That was almost a year ago, and I still haven't watched it. LOL! Sometimes I think that my Netflix queue is where films go to die.

I like watching the show Merlin with my kids. It's pretty much cartoony, kid-stuff for the first couple seasons, but that last season was by far the best one. It became drastically improved when Arthur and Merlin finally start coming into their own.

I really enjoy Merlin. One of the best things SyFy broadcasts these days.

Just watched the first episode on Netflix. I'm in, I'll be watching the rest over the next couple of weeks. Looking forward to it. He's very compelling, and they've already introduced a foil for him.

Ummm what? The second season was great. What are you smoking? Is that a joke? WTF didn't you like about it? Enlighten me. Actually no, because I don't give a shit because it's impossible to not like season 2. F you man, F YOU!

Just watched the first episode of the second Sherlock series, and it was amazing (they're showing them on PBS right now, the next one is tomorrow night).

I heard that PBS has been cutting off double-digit minutes from the episodes. At least, they cut off 10 minutes from episode 1 of series 2.

I finished Luther today, watched on Netflix. It was really good. Luther certainly carries the show, but the bad guys in most eps were also compelling.

Perhaps I'll have to re-watch Sherlock once it comes to Netflix.

Donger on CP TV Network.

So did anybody watch the last ep of Sherlock? How did he pull the sleight of hand at the end?
