What I've Watched - The Start

I'm probably in the minority group for my TV show viewing preferences, but still have a few family and friends that like watching the same things as me, and sometimes get asked what I've seen lately. So I thought I'd add a regular 'What I'm watching' blog.

What's my taste? Not a lot of unsubtle predictable corny (usually) American stuff, however I love True Detective (S1 only), Breaking Bad & House of Cards. Mainly I am a sucker for scandy/nordic noir (I blame my mother & Wallander) and other European shows, particularly crime ones. I can easily tolerate subtitles and love listening to the languages (Italian - oh my gosh yuss). It is also fascinating seeing a different side of the scenery and mannerisms. When I watch French shows I can even understand some of it thanks to taking French as a subject for a couple of years, so I often find myself repeating their phrases (yelling 'merde' is a favourite) - actually I need subtitles for Scottish shows more than French ones...

Below is a list of the TV shows which I have already seen that I think are worth a mention, along with my rating. They are not all crime ones, and some are not very recent.

Special mention to The Bridge, The Killing, Gomorrah, Spiral, Line of Duty, Luther, Penny Dreadful, No Offence, True Detective (Season1), Breaking Bad (of course), Braquo, The Returned, The Missing & Locked Up

I will blog whenever I have seen some new stuff and will give my star rating for what it's worth

1 star = did not like 2 stars = ho hum 3 stars = flawed but entertaining 4 stars = very good 5 stars = excellent
