Just finished the first season of the Walking Dead...it's okay.

Looking to start Breaking Bad after numerous recommendations from JL21...actually he's forcing me to watch it.

It's really taken a turn for the worse.

Rifle through the thread. Every single person in here who watches it, loves it.

I'm afraid of spoilers...plus I want to watch this clean...no biased input.

Agreed, I watched the first six episodes on Netflix over two days, that probably added to my sense of pacing.
Well, another episode down and while it was a pretty good episode, there was almost nothing to advance the overall plot. The redneck guy has some injury-induced visions of his dead brother. OK. They still can't find the girl. The old guy is getting more annoyed with the group. Let's get things going a little next week...
I'm really happy with this season so far, much more so than the first season. I though last season the characters felt cliched and all the non-zombie conflict felt forced. Things feel a bit more natural and slowed down to a reasonable level. They do need to get on with finding that girl though. I think it's odd that we haven't seen anything about her, which leads me to think she didn't make it.

NBC have revealed their midseason schedule, and it's a tough one to swallow for Community fans, as that critically adored but ratings starved series is being benched for the time being. Community is not cancelled and will film all 22 episodes for Season 3, returning at a later (but hopefully not too long away) date.

Thinking of watching (what I presume is a pretty cheesy) Camelot on Netflix just so I can see Eva Green naked again. I don't think The Dreamers is available on there.
