I finished watching all three seasons (so far) of Lilyhammer on Netflix.
Very enjoyable it was, too.
It sort of motors along nicely for the first season and then really starts to get excellent about half way through S2 and keeps up the quality to the end of S3.
I just wish it had more of a plot otherwise I'd have stuck with it. And seeing 'Sil' being less funny than in The Sopranos didn't help.
Who is 'Sil'?
I never watched The Sopranos so I've no idea which actor you are referring to.
I thought the plot of the show worked just fine.
How long did you stick with it?

Sil is basically the same character but in The Sopranos and played by Lily's lead. The first episode of The Sopranos is the usual introduction, but Christ, after that it becomes one of the best shows ever. Watch it even if you don't like crime dramas!

A season and a bit was all I could manage.

Seen a big chunk of second series of Grimm now. Juliette is really getting on my nerves and don't care what happens to her. Not a sympathetic character at all or poor casting.

Anyone else think the same?
It's the writing, I think.
She's kinda been shoehorned in to the show and her character doesn't really have any purpose, at least at the point at which you are at with the show.

It probably helps that most of my viewing takes place between midnight and 7am.

Arrow - Kicking ass. Even makes the second-stringers look impressive.

Flash - Keeps veering into the predictable only to pull it back with something awesome. And they know how stupid he looks in that suit; he barely gets more than two seconds of close-up lol.

Gotham - It's infuriating how many good ideas are murdered by awful dialogue in this show. Joel Schumacher could sue ffs. I kinda know I'll probably watch it until the end of the first season - SHIELD was crap until half way through after all.

Agent Carter - Possibly the best episode yet! Peggy dishing out the good news... They've also gotten further past the sexism angle by the look of it. Oh, and there's what looks like a fantastic nod to the wider Marvel universe.

Yeah we don't clash at all but now the ex is using it again. I do most of my viewing lunchtimes and I suspect he's evening so think we're ok. 2 viewers at a time. All good.

Remind me again - do you watch anything that isn't super hero type stuff? :D

Yes, The Walking Dead, Grimm (forgot to mention that above), comedy panel shows, chat shows... I just haven't gotten back to a lot of stuff on the streaming services, like Crossing Lines, White Collar, Suits, Person Of Interest, any number of cartoons, Orange Is The New Black...

Grimm - Moving towards something big, and great to see Arnold Vosloo pop in.

Yes, I know, but it was as much for me as you :P - I was thinking I really need to start using Prime more.

'I Survived A Zombie Apocalypse'

Possibly the single worst piece of television I've seen in years.
