ABC's Castle--which has just been picked up for a second season.
And Burn Notice is due back for season 3 soon.
And Leverage season 2 starts in July.

Re: Last TV show/series you watched?
I wanted to add Castle as well, these 10 episodes have been great fun.
I alsoenjoyed this years Chuck, the spy-comedy that was really enjoyable.
House season 5 was a rollercoaster with an albeit bummer ending.
And currently enjoying the Mentalist & Primeval (ITV's dino-soap).
And am hoping that Lewis gets another season because he is a worthy succesor to Morse.

Re: Last TV show/series you watched?
Yeah, agree with you about House. Might be a depressing ending but was damned good story-telling throughout the season.
Haven't seen Chuck but maybe now it's being renewed I'll investigate further.
Oddly enough one UK show I like is The Bill. It might be a long-running drama that's bordered on a soap at times but they consistently tell good dramatic stories.

Re: Last TV show/series you watched?
The Bill, now that brings back memories! I always enjoyed watching the half-hour episodes – very good story telling and some great characters.
I also really like Morse, and like-wise Lewis; although I missed all of the last series – I hope to catch up with them on ITV3 at some stage.

Re: Last TV show/series you watched?
For me it's the whole ensemble; script, acting, music and cinematography. Given the two hour format some episodes are better than others.
I did try one or two of Colin Dexter’s books but to be honest, they are slow.

BORING?
They are a whole flavor of style and backgrounds and no americanisms in the story. Lewis has taken an amazing direction since his boss & wife have died. He is sometimes more Morse than he would like to admit.

Re: Last TV show/series you watched?
Completely addicted to The Wire... BBC2. Can't understand half of what they say, and sometimes nothing major seems to happen, but I keep finding myself looking forward to the next episode. Bizarre.
