There have been many more compelling shows narrativistically speaking, but the writing and acting are better than anything I've seen since The West Wing.

What’s it about, though? I need a good story.

It's a dark comedy about a deeply unpleasant dynastic Murdoch-style media company-owning family.

One negative - no titties.

Oh and it's written by Jesse Armstrong of Peep Show fame, although it could not be any different.

It's great man, give it a bash.

So insufferable smart-arses speaking far too quickly and cleverly to have a shred of credibility as actual people?

Breaking Bad was massively over-rated. Dragged on and on, getting more samey than a modern pop song.

Sky Atlantic, but I watch it on Now TV.

It takes 3-4 episodes to get going.

Nah - it’s the greatest thing telly has ever done, ever. By some distance.

I’ve watched it 6 or 7 times all the way through and enjoy it just as much every time.

It’s genius. :nod:

Uninteresting fact: I've never seen Breaking Bad or The Wire. Mind boggling eh?
