The Borgias.<br />

Crime family scheme their way to the Vatican. Looks good.

Downton Abbey season 2 has started. Now set in WW1. Great start

[dogmeat]

New sOhO channel on Sky (for NZ viewers who havent downloaded them already) seems to have cornered the market in quality drama. Downton Abbey 2, Empire Boulevard 2, Game of Thrones, Borgias. Plus exclusive access to HBO content.<br />
<br />
Cleverly launching a week after RWC Final.

"SoHo" - by fuck that's cheesy.

Empire Boulevard 2, GOT, Mad Men all being advertised on SoHo. Borgias will be FTA on TV3 and a search for Downton 2 in NZ brought up a Prime Tweet implying it would be there.

Is Empire Boulevard an Asylum knockoff of Boardwalk Empire? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />_

SoHo wil lbe Free to air for Oct/Nov on Sky Basic, but will then be a pay channel after...<br />
<br />
Wife and I enjoyed Downton Abbey, so 2nd series will be on the must watch!

I'm finding SOA4 compelling viewing. You are watching knowing full well that there ain't gonna be a happy ending to this tale. The Hamlet comparisons are lining up big and Hamlet was, after all, a tragedy. The hole is getting dug deeper and deeper.<br />
The characters are just so f'ing good and believable too. So far there is no 'filler' to pad the series out like Series 3 either.

I'm only just at the start of Season 2 and finding it not as good as season 1....does it heat up? And should I skim through season 3?

Yeah, season 2 gets good. Season 3 should probably be skimmed.

[Crucial]

Series 3 does set up a lot of the major storyline, it's just dragged out a fair bit. If you did decide to skip it at least read the plot summaries.

[taniwharugby]

S3 has a good soundtrack though!!<br />
<br />
First episode of The Borgias aired on Wednesday, looks good enough for further viewing.<br />
<br />
Final episode of Breaking Bad due to air shortly isnt it, then I can start watching.

[taniwharugby]

Hasnt aired in NZ, but will wait until I have the entire series to watch at my leisure!

[jegga]

Just discovered I have a new channel called Soho or something, what are they putting on that?<br />
<br />
I'm mentally prepared for Sky to wait till it gets popular then make it a pay channel, if it is any good I'd love to swap it for the two estrogen channels vibe and E.

[taniwharugby]

that is going to have all the good HBO type programmes, many mentioned in here, but will be pay (like Rialto) from 01/12 I believe...

[Nepia]

I had a rethink on SOA 3 and I don't think it is as bad as we remember. It is bad in comparison with the first two seasons, but not with a lot of other programming out there. In saying that, I'm glad they're back in Charming and this season is already leagues better.
