"I’m going to break your rules, and I’m going to mention The Singing Detective, which was a TV series out of Britain with Michael Gambon. I don’t know if you ever saw it. Dennis Potter; it was so amazing. I remember watching that while I was acting training, in my first year of acting training, and I loved it so much, I got depressed, because I remember thinking, “I will never be able to act as well as Michael Gambon.” It was just so incredible."

Hooked from the start

I'm a big fan of this kind of TV show, I was hooked from the 1st episode and couldn't wait for the next one each week. The storyline was carried though very well and acted very well by the 2 main characters. It has made me want to read the books it is based on to see what's next for this series

Mothergamer (1643 KP) rated A Series of Unfortunate Events in TV

I just powered through the 3 seasons because sometimes it felt like the episodes dragged on. I understand that it was supposed to be absurd, but sometimes it was absurd to an annoying degree. I feel the books were better in this sense, but it's harder to put everything into a TV series. I do think the cast was well thought out and they did a great job, but by the time I got to the end I was just glad to be done with it.

Starts brilliantly, but now starting to drag...

I love zombie films, so a zombie (or walker as the "z" word is never mentioned) tv show really appealed. And to begin with, The Walking Dead really impresses.

The first season is such a good debut, Andrew Lincoln does very well as Rick - can hardly believe it's Simon from Teachers. The visual and physical effects are fantastic and the walkers are truly scary. Character development over the initial few series too is very good and you come to care about a lot (and hate a lot) of them. The first maybe 5 series I can't really fault too much. There's dips, but it always come bouncing back with some shock deaths or interesting characters like the Governor.

The problem is with the last couple of series. Everything has become a bit too samey - meet a hostile group, become scared & abused by the group, people get killed and then Rick's group manages to overcome them. The walkers have pretty much taken a back seat. Personally I think they should try and end the series soon instead of dragging it out too far.
