Does anyone else watch this? It's tucked away on TCM so it's out of reach unless you have Sky. But it's great viewing. The only members of the cast people may recognise are Colm Meaney (Star Trek) and Common (a generic rapper and actor)

Yes, enjoyed the first series.
I didn't realise until last week that season 2 had already started on TCM. Sad

Season 2 I feel wasn't as well written as season 1. He's completely given up on the premise of the first series, which was to find the killers of his family. Instead it focused on some occasionally fantastical stories, but it's still excellent. It's been given a green light for a third series...

While we're talking about TV shows that no-one else watches, I must confess I love Psych on Universal. Cracks me up NQAT.

Nope, haven't seen that! Ok, I've got another...it's stylized as SouthLAnd. It's about a few members of the LAPD who are from a department that patrols the South Los Angeles police area. Admittedly, that's been done before, but it's ultra-realistic in parts, as it's been filmed in a way that makes it appear to be a documentary (minus the narration). Absolutely brilliant. The fifth series began airing in the US on 13th February 2013. There's a few notable actors, such as Michael Cudlitz (Band of Brothers, Lost, Prison Break) and Lucy Liu.

I've watched Pysch though not for some time (from being an avid tv watcher i am finding i hardly turn the tv on anymore Hell on Wheels 3392635135 ). I found it frivelous and undemanding which is what i loved about it. Just good, unpretentious fun.

Pan's labia was much better though I would strongly recommend that you avoid the 3D scratch and sniff version....

Smell's like mackerel if I can remember. Shame the star of the show was the child eating monster. Fair to say I won't be watching it again...

Some serious flaps on that

Yeah, watch that too.
Deserves a better outlet than More4 or whatever channel it's on.

Life, starring Damian Lewis, is another worth watching, although only 2 series were made.

I thought the US version of Life on Mars was surprisingly good as well, although ended on a much different note to the UK one.

Just one letter amiss changes the whole tone of that sentence.
