I'm a little bit late to this show, but I had an iTunes gift card and House M.D. entire series (8 seasons in HD) was available for £20. It's silly and blinds you with technical jargon you have no idea if it's even remotely accurate but it's pretty fun to watch. Only seen the first 4 episodes so far and yes, it's a little formulaic but I'm really enjoying it!

I'm also just about to start Season 5 of Frasier, had the massive box set for ages now but I'm aiming to go through it a decent pace and not just watch them all in one go, so doing a season in between different shows! I've seen so many episodes but I'm surprised at how many I haven't seen so far, while not a large percentage still a fair few!

Watched first episode of season two of West world looks like it will be as good as the first. Just started the new legends of monkey.

House gets better as it goes along. Seasons 4 and 5 I recall being the best.

It does take a while for the relationships between various cast members, whether it's House and Cuddy, Chase and Cameron, 'Thirteen' and House, or House and Wilson to fully develop and become as interesting as the cases the diagnostic team try and solve, so it is probably around the fourth and fifth season when the show hit its peak.

That said, I love the season with David Morse (the third?), and the sixth, which is set in a mental institution.

I've recently been watching the sixth season of 24, a show I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with because of how it seemingly advocates torture and, as with Homeland, negatively portrays Muslims. Apart from that, it's extremely entertaining and extremely well acted. The construction of each of the episodes within the day-long series arc seems to work really well and it's interesting to watch this for the first time since its broadcast release.

Most shows usually start with 'Monster of the Week' episodes only to really find its stride in later seasons so I expect House to be the same, they can't cure a new mystery illness every week for 8 seasons

I don't think they do as there is at least one two-part episode which is about something else and has the 'detective' element as the B-story.

I caught the first two episodes of Marvel's Legion Series 2. Slightly more conventional ... but there's time yet. Sick of capes? This could be an antidote ...

I thought season 4 was when House completely jumped the shark myself!

Been i n bed today not been so well so been watching odds and ends last nights BGT
OK call me sad but I like BGT you never know what you're going to get and some acts are genuinely good , hate rest of any sort of reality shows tho, especially any singing ones .
Anyhow its The money heist I've been watching all day watched first 5 episodes and I'm really enjoying it and it's not predictable either. If not seen I think its a recommended watch.

Well I rewatched some of The Pallbearer's Revue ... Jerry Sadowitz's rather scattershot BBC2 show ... the tape's getting a bit worn ...
