Do you think Kurt Sutter is going to make the prequel series that focuses on John Teller and Clay Morrow in their early years? Would be a cracker of a series.
Really enjoyed True Detective. Harrelson and McConaghy will be a hard pairing to top, it's a pity the way the series is written they can't continue.Just recorded the series of True Detective off Foxtel's Box Sets. Great new channel.
Especially loving Woody Harrelson. Nice to see him in something other than a stoner pic on Bill Maher's Twitter.

True Detective with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey is well worth a watch. McConaughey is outstanding in it.
You have fine taste in television, sir.I've just noticed this thread.
Sob, one more episode to go now - what am I going to do afterwards?
Just as good as Series 1 - outstanding.
Top show - just as well she got rodgered: the suspense was killing me.
Outstanding TV - and bears watching a second time for "now I get it" moments.
Other good shows I have watched/am watching recently:
Orphan Black
Peaky Blinders
Fargo - Like the movie, claims to be a true story but isn't, though it doesn't stop it being great TV. It's silly to make the claims though. Billy Bob Thornton is the best baddy.
The Pacific - (the Pacific version of "Band of Brothers") - watched it over two days after recording it on the Box Sets channel. A powerful series.
The Nick - The Clive Owen character is brilliant in this Soderbergh show, that may not be for everybody.
It's about a New York hospital about 1900 which does surgical innovations - and everybody seems to hate each other.
It sounds like serious stuff but there's a few funny lines in it. This one, in the first episode, should not be too much of a spoiler.
There's a scene where an audience of doctors is watching an early epidural procedure (the patient is listening):
Surgeon: This procedure has been tried just once before - on a labrador.Someone else: Was it successful?Surgeon: There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss that dog..
Sutter is already working on a period based show with Kate Segal
SoA **spoiler**
I agree that the last two seasons really went downhill. Perhaps everything could have been wound up a season earlier with half the ridiculous destruction that occurred. In the last season, the only episode that I thought was really up there with the best of the whole show was episode 10, Faith and Despondency where they took revenge for Bobby Elvis.
It still goes down as one of my favorite shows. There really was some brilliant TV along the way and some excellent characters.
It suffered from the fact that it seemed like there could really only be one ending and it unfolded fairly predictably (except for a few fairly ridiculous things you've pointed out).
Anyone seen Black Mirror? Watched the first episode and thought it was pretty good.
