It gets progressively worse as you go. When you see the club take off for an Ireland field trip, that's when things start going downhill.

Definitely watch the first couple of seasons though.

Ev, you were warned.

the ending of the season was excellent though. The last 5 episodes or so. Glad the Irish sons are gone though

Things don't really improve.

As long as the new fat prospect becomes the President then all is good

Not sure why, but I never enjoyed any organized crime movies or shows. I have not seen any of Sopranos, SOA, BB.

What's Vikings like? It's been recommended to me on another forum as a fill-in of sorts until GoT comes back.

Also, I've heard good things about The Americans. It's been on for a couple season now so should be showing up on Netflix soon.

wow spoilers man

The Americans is legitimately awesome. Plus it has a terrific 80s soundtrack. It's probably the most underrated show out there.

Plus Keri Russell. Yum.

Just checked, not on Netflix (at least not streaming). Amazon lets you watch it for free with ads (but would need to use something to pretend you're in the US). iTunes charges a ridiculous $3.49 per episode and VUDU not far behind at $2.99.

And they are shocked that people turn to bittorrent?

The do show The Americans on FX Canada. So you can legitimately watch it if you have a decent TV package. But yeah, just torrent it.

Stop watching now... it's a more violent Dexter, just gets worse and worse even if season 5 and 6 have some decent moments.

Pretty much.

Also, for Sons of Anarchy, it was available through FX...except in Canada. Canada's FX was a season or two behind in airing it...so dumb.

I bought the whole series lol. I'm not stopping now.

FX: first-run, critically-acclaimed programming

FX Canada: Repeats of FX programming and re-runs of "Blackfly", "Da Kink in My Hair" and "Train 48."

I was either in my package or it was picked up by CTV or some such. I remember it being available for me to watch. Problem is I didn't and they've got 2-3 seasons already done. This is where Netflix excels, but it's not on Netflix.

It's on Netflix Argentina, Brazil, Netherlands etc.

My DNS only does US. UK as well but that may be extra. I'm good with downloading it I think. Right now though the wife is calling for HTGAWM. I didn't start recording it, thought we'd catch up via on demand, but they keep just 2 episodes so before I knew it I was too late.

Strangely, didn't want to watch Suits. Went to POI - we watched the season premiere then let it collect on the PVR, have about a dozen episodes. That show just lost my interest. The episode we watched last night did nothing to change my feelings abou it.
