Also the lead actor is beyond annoying, cant watch a show if all I can think about is punching the guy who takes up 80% of the screentime:D

Fair point, tho he is pretty much only reason I took notice of the series existence when it first premiered, besides being sci fi, because he (and another guy in 12 monkeys) was in Nikita show, played a whiz-savvy funny nerd character I liked for several seasons. Though supporting role, was suprising/intriguing to see him be a showrunner/lead.

Come on man, you might have enjoyed it but it was not a quality production. Cant speak for the storyline since I didnt finish it, but everything else was kind of comical.

What is it with men getting lead roles in shows that are way out of their league? 12 monkeys, Marco Polo, Daredevil, Banshee etc.
Are you crazy? Banshee's main lead MAKES the show, I cant imagine anyone else doing this type of role so genuinly gritty James Ellroy noire-ish nameless broken broody anti-hero as he has. And Michael Cox was decent as Daredevil really. Agreed about Marco Polo, and I cant judge 12 Monkeys, though I would understand reservations or not being convinced since up til this show he has been more a colorful nerdy supporting actor.

it reminds me of that a little
Wait....Are you saying 12 monkeys reminds you of BG a little :eek: Thats one of my top few all time fav series (with the wire, firefly, Lost etc).

Didnt watch battlestar because I was in the room while my dad was watching and I overheard how they said "fuck" :D

Think ive watched a few episodes here and there.
Dude, you must see it, its pretty much a sci fi greek tragedy, total epic very human drama that touches up on alot of themes and subjects.

Guilty of abandoning Battlestar after 5 episodes and I can't point my finger at what's wrong. Probably just caught me in the wrong mood. Gonna continue watching someday

Lost was very entertaining, it fulfilled it's purpose for sure. Interesting weird plot/events and compelling characters despite the bad ending.

Same here, I don't think I got totally wrapped in to the world of a TV series as much as Lost. Alot of great characters and surreal mysterious storytelling.

So Sneaky Pete is starting soon, do you think it's warrant its own thread?

Who is going to watch it?

@Osman get your ass over here and tell me about the show instead of fighting about our strange mercato
