I've heard great things, but haven't got to it yet. It's on the shortlist of shows to watch though. True Blood is over this weekend, and we're almost through watching the Firefly series. Then we'll have a bit of a void for shows
Is anybody watching this series? I watched the pilot Monday night and loved it. I watched the five other episodes since then, and I think it's pretty good so far.
I would not suggest to watch it before you go to sleep though

Thanks for the info: The "Strain"... yes?
We'll have to give it a try.
We just started "Suits".
True Blood... my wife & I have watched that a year delay (Netflix).
She read the books.
Looking back... it's one of the worst TV series that I've ever somehow stayed with... maybe Weeds too.
I'm a decent husband. Season 1 = good. After that... just... yugg. Can't believe I've seen them all.
I'm done with vamper stories/shows for probably another 20 years - unless this Strain brings something different.
Pengwin7,
I really dislike most vampire genre stuff as well, but if you've not read The Passage by Justin Cronin, then you should check it out. Reads similar to a Steven King 'The Stand' type book and has a different take on vampires type creatures in it. I've read this book, the sequel, and am really looking forward to the final book which I think comes out this year some time.
EDIT: I should note that Matt Reeves (Planet of the Apes Director) has signed on to direct the movie version of it as well, so I'm quite excited about that.

The Passage.
I have read it! Incredible stuff!
Loved the first, like the second, third is out very soon! (Super Excited)
But I wouldn't call those vampires. (I mean, when I hear "Vampires", I'm thinking of a society of beings that take part in discussions & relationships & still weight good vs. bad).
I always imagined the Passage beings to be closer to monsters - barely a shred of humanity remaining.
Suits - Love it. One of my favorites on TV today.
As far as The Strain goes, I have watched the first few episodes and like what I have seen so far. I still have about 3 more on the PVR I just haven't taken the time to watch yet. So far so good though!

Will look into it....I did start watching the killing because of this forum....can't say as I'm in love with it, but it's def worth seeing it through. Thanks for the suggestions.

I like The Strain so far. Recommended.
I've been watching it - its OK, but nothing is blowing me away.
Suits - finished season 3 last night, its pretty good for a lawyer show - some great characters.
True Blood - after season 1 it went way downhill - stopped watching it a few years ago.
House Of Cards - one of the best shows going, Kevin Spacey is - as you'd expect - absolutely amazing in it.
