I'm taping it so will binge watch them over a few days as I tend to do. I'm hoping we have less of Carrie overacting on her meds and more of Carrie getting involved in a great story like they used to do.
Carrie over acting on the meds is what stopped me watching. Loved the first couple series but she got to annoying for me, not sure whether to watch this series or not

They should have kept Peter Quinn, he made the series way more interesting. Admittedly, the Carrie med story does wear a bit thin as it repeats, but maybe that's what it's like for someone on those sorts of drugs, or not. You can't suddenly write out a key factor in the character.........., well you can, but .... I still quite enjoyed the show, even up to the end of the last season, so will continue, if only to get to the end of what is supposed to be the final season, or not.

Had a bit of a Netflix binge over the last couple of weeks since the weather meant no golf. Watched "One of Us", a 4 part BBC drama now on Netflix. Was a decent watch, although quite dark, and not the ending I expected. Started "The Sinner" last night, through 3 episodes very quickly. Bit of a tough watch, but pretty good, although I'm not sure I like Bill Pulman's character at the moment, which is a shame as he's the lead. Will carry on, he may grow a bit though, since they are currently into season 3 in the US.

I'm much the same, I had one season that sat on my Sky box for a year before I watched it and only did because a new season was starting, but I've seen them all up to yet so will watch this one. I don't have a massive problem with her meds now and then and I think Clare Danes is a fine actor. It's just as you say, when it becomes a major plot point it gets a bit repetitive. I say bring back Brody ;)

I think he was the worst thing about the show, it got so much better once he was out of it.

Five episodes into Sopranos now. It's quite unlike anything else I've watched to be honest. I found it very slow to get going but eps 4 and 5 were good. I do find the episodes a tad long too, that's probably just my attention span and the fact I've got used to episodes of most programs being 45 minutes tops.

My favourite show of all time. It gets even better as it goes on.
