Black Sails - season 2

A chronicle of the adventures of a pirate captain, his shipmates and his rivals in the early 18th-century Caribbean. The series is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," and is set 20 years before the events depicted in that literary classic.

Vikings - Season 3

Vikings is inspired by the sagas of Viking Ragnar Lothbrok, one of the best-known mythological Norse heroes and notorious as the scourge of England and France. It portrays Ragnar as a former farmer who rises to fame by successful raids into England with the support of his family and fellow warriors: his brother Rollo, his son Bjorn, and his wives—the shieldmaiden Lagertha and the princess Aslaug.

I'm sorry uli, I like The Strain, I really do and I'll keep watching it for as long as it stays alive, but you're being very generous with those scores. I'd lower them to around half of it, and they won't be too far from what the show actually is.

Hello Friends,

this only my subjectiv perception! For me it is a very good Series!

The difference between a Series and a critic is so often in the eye of the beholder.

I don't know about The Strain but I tried to get into Better Call Saul, though I knew we shouldn't expect too much. Saul Goodman was a great character but only within the broader pool of characters and context of Breaking Bad as the show's comic relief. But creating a spin-off based on a single character and in the shadow of such a huge hit series like BB isn't exactly the best idea. Vince Gilligan should've left BB behind to dedicate himself to new projects and ideas. Back when he was involved with The X-files, its two spin-offs failed too. Better Call Saul's ratings were great when the show premiered but they keep falling. I guess by the end of the season, its continuation won't be certain. I stopped watching this show after the third episode.

Right now I'm following The Walking Dead. Not sure why because it's complete trash. Completely predictable, badly written and full of soap elements. The show follows the same pattern every half season: separation, reunion, struggle against a hostile group of survivors. I looked into the comics and they're much worse.

My sentiments exactly Norbert, and I commend you for making it to the third episode.

To a certain degree, I'm ashamed to admit, that I enjoyed the hell out of the new E network show The Royals which premiered on March 15th. If you aren't aware, it stars Elizabeth Hurley (that alone makes it a win win

) as a fictional (obviously) modern day Queen of England, and displays the "trials, and travails" of being rich, and famous. The poor bastards.

Queen Helena (Hurley) has two children. Prince Liam played by William Moseley, and Princess Eleanor played by the delicious Alexandra Park who does bear a bit of a resemblance to Liz when she was younger. Think of it as Melrose Place meets Buckingham Palace. Of course it's mindless, guilty pleasure drivel, but it's filled with glamorous (albeit broken), beautiful women. The Prince's girlfriend played by the ridiculously hot Merritt Patterson is another draw to the show as well. The acting doesn't suck, and it's one of those shows where you can get home from work, crack a few beers, check SportsCenter, get comfortable on the couch with the ol' lady, and give it a view. You'll enjoy the hell out of the hens, and she'll think you're a sensitive, romantic bastard, and probably blow you after watching it.

Enjoy!

I hope they get some good scriptwriters in for it. That show had some fantastic individual episodes over it's lifetime, but as a whole it was a letdown.
