Currently my favourite program on TV...
They only just started Season 2 4 episodes in and yes its brilliant !
But in this case a positive to living in Belgium...
Would add Homeland to that list for me.
I just started watching Gotham, and it is very good.
Set just after the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents, it shows a young James Gordon (later Commissioner) as an idealistic young detective partnered with a cynical and possibly corrupt veteran. Sean Pertwee has fun with the role of Alfred.
Also plans to develop the back stories to a range of classic Batman villains.
Excellent production values, it's a bit like a cross between NYPD Blue and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, with the fantasy element of Gotham matched with an almost realist New York-like city.
Very enjoyable so far.
Luke, v.disappointed with Homeland.
Twist - I think it's decent so far. Is meant to pick up in the next coupes of episodes. I think they're slowly putting the building blocks in place.
Definitely, imo, assuming you like the modern Batman franchise.

I'd say it takes a couple or three episodes to find its feet properly. It's trying (and managing, imo) to find the balance between 'comic book' and police procedural.
We've recorded it but haven't got around to watching it yet.
Haven't seen Arrow, but did watch 1 1/2 episodes of The Flash, which is clearly the same stable (Arrow has a v brief appearance.)
Gotham, to me is all-round better, in terms of storyline, story-arc, production values and writing.
Being a big fan of comic books in the '60's & '70's technology has caught up with my imagination. Wasn't sure about Gotham at first, but like the way it is developing and already bringing in some of the villains before they became what we see in the Batman Films etc.
Leftovers only started watching due to the connection the writers of Lost and it and Under the Dome because it appelas to my sense of ;hmm for trying to work out exactly what is really going on.
Defiance and Atlantis (also Grimm and a few others) as they fit in with some of my prefered reading (Science Fiction/Fanatasy) mainy as when reading I paint the story in my mind where I form my version of the characters and these sort of series fit in with that. That's why I had and still have some issues with Game of Thrones, I read the books first and a lot of the charaterisations for the shows did not and some still do not match how I envisioned them.
James Spader ;bowdown
And it gets better!
The_lodger has been watching it and did a ceremonial had over of the DVDs yesterday when I got back from the match... he watched 12 episodes in one go ;nonono
But that's only going to work if you make people want to watch, which would explain the improvement.
