markupby briandmyers 372 days ago · linkI'm a big fan of the show. Read the books, too - they're pretty good. The first season was amazingly faithful to the book; second season, not so much, but I can see why they did most of the changes that I noticed.
afteryou mentioned the Walking Dead - I liked the first season of that, but season 2 has been a bit ho-hum. I've started reading the graphic novels, which are excellent so far. The storyline diverges quite quickly, but that's ok.
It's only 3 episodes, but I highly recommend a BBC mini-series called "Black Mirror". Three unrelated stories about the not-so-distant future. Very thought-provoking.
by afteryou 372 days ago · linkBlack Mirror? Never heard of it. I'll have to check that one out.
I really enjoyed season two of the Walking Dead. Yeah, It got a little slow in the middle, but you at least have to see the final episode, where they introduce the prison, and Michonne. Season 3 is gonna be great. I'll tell ya, if I could live in that world just for a bit, that would be amazing!
by briandmyers 372 days ago · linkThere's a Wikipedia page for it - but I suggest you NOT read the episode descriptions there before seeing it. Here's a quote from the wiki page :
"An Endemol press release describes the series as "a hybrid of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected which taps into our contemporary unease about our modern world", with the stories having a "techno-paranoia" feel.[2] Channel 4 describes the first episode as "a twisted parable for the Twitter age"."

by briandmyers 372 days ago · linkI re-watched the entire first season, after reading the first book. It was ever better the second time around :-)
by afteryou 418 days ago · linkI watch this and The Walking Dead. That's about it. Can't wait for season 2.
by khaaan 418 days ago · linkhell yeah best thing on TV in a long time and i don't watch much TV
by thenewgreen 418 days ago · linkYeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I have to wait until season 1 is available via netflix. Currently I've been watching Breaking Bad and I'm really enjoying it. Like you, I don't watch much TV. I don't have cable.
by khaaan 418 days ago · linkyeah watch it back to back :-) Breaking bad is also good :-)
by thenewgreen 372 days ago · linkWe've gotten through the first six episodes. Wow! Just amazing television.
