I just finished the last season a couple weeks ago. It's a pretty amazing ride. You gotta be careful, though..because it will seriously depress you at some moments.
True Detective. 8 part mini series. Best acting I have seen Woody Harrilson and Mather McConehey do. (sp?)
Black Sails. Pirate period series based around Flint, John Silver, Black Beard and a few other famous PieRats.
Good series. Some moments indeed prompted a rather...emotional response from me. It's interesting how the viewer goes from feeling compassion for Walter to indifference and then finally almost hatred. There are things I just can't forgive him (Walter).
Btw, did anyone else find Skyler and Marie horribly annoying? I'm not sure about the reason for that, perhaps they're annoying as RL people. If not...and the characters were supposed to be annoying, then, that's some fine acting.
How long did it take you to get fully hooked? I have the whole series and have watched the first 5 episodes of season one so far. I do like the series allot, but its hasn't "hooked" me yet like other shows have (ie House of Cards) How long did it take to fully hook you into watching?

YES!! I found Marie to be the MOST unbearable. Skyler....I just felt sorry for, overall. She wasn't any saint, but she was put in a real crappy situation.
Also interesting is the range of emotions you feel towards Hank over the course of the series. At first I found him annoying, then outright dislike him. Then, you find yourself rooting for him, and by the end you're really pulling for him.
marie i think is just brilliant, she really hasnt got a clue and kept hidden in the dark for ages and then when she knows something she goes over the top in trying to act on it
excellent
skyler tho goes from a hurt wife to a strong willed person
hank brilliant , when it clicks, his world must of just fallen apart
i feel more for junior who hasnt got any idea about whats going on
i m just about to watch last 3 episodes of season 5
@ being hooked i watched 3 episodes and then some reason had a break for few weeks, until 3 days ago, then i really got into it
