Weird weekends is different to the other shows of his. I watched it, was pretty good. But nowhere near as good as the others (on Nazis, porn, jails, drugs etc) Keep an eye out for the other series. I think it's just called Louis Theroux.
gunna buy those on ebay for hubby for christmas, thanks for the tip!

The link shows a couple of the good ones - The Odd, The Bad & The Godly has a couple of the docos I've seen - Mega jails & Medicated Kids were excellent. The medicated kids is actually quite disturbing. One little kid (I think about 6 or 7) is on anti depressants and in therapy because when he plays board games & loses, he cracks it. Ummm, what kid likes losing??!! :shock: Obviously something wrong with him, better send him to therapy.

Law & Dirosrder also very good.

Hope he enjoys them.
I saw Louis and the Nazis, that was one eye opening doco. That guy has some guts too!

Been watching Game of Thrones - I like it a lot. My wife and I have nearly watched the entire first series in the last two days (after work). Haha.

Not a new series, but back on 9, anyone seen "Sherlock"?

I quite like it.

Sad to see the last of "Tara" last night.
Series has been cancelled, so no more unfortunately.
Quality never rates.

Been watching The Bill on 7Two. I've always liked it, at least until the latter seasons when they went a bit silly, and I was hoping they'd start it right back at the beginning (season 1) but alas no :cry:

One show I'm really getting into is Rules of Engagement. When it first came out I couldn't stand it but over the last couple of months I've started watching it again and I'm loving it. Either my standards have dropped or I didn't give the show a fair go initially.

Do you watch Cop shows (other than the Bill) or do you find yourself developing tourettes if you do? :P :wink:

Bought and watched season 1 of The Walking Dead last week. Big thumbs up. Very much like 30 days/weeks later and just as good. Can't wait to start season 2.

I've watched season 1 & 2 of Breaking Bad this week. Should finish 3 & 4 this weekend. Don't know why it's taken me so long. Loving it so much!

Next I want to get into Homeland, Boss, The Killing and American Horror Story.

Breaking Bad is quality.
Suffered here by being on ABC2. But would be truly awful if broadcast on commercial telly.
