Breaking Bad is next on my stuff to watch list!

As far as Ripper Street goes, I'd be interested in watching it but I know it got cancelled so I'm a bit like eeeeh, you know? Also, if you like the IT Crowd, I think you'd be a big fan of Black Books. Just sayin'!

Yeah -it's a damm shame they are cancelling Ripper Street. Maybe with some luck - it'll find a new home apart from BBC1; like how Netflix resurrected Arrested Development; or how Fox revived Family Guy. Who knows?

But yes - I agree, books/comics tend to do a better job overall vs movie/tv counterparts (they tend to miss subtle - and sometimes BIG - details; as is the case in Game of Thrones).

However, I have to take some bragging rights - I've managed to addict some of my other friends on Game and Sherlock... hehehe; now they can't get enough; esp after the hanger on the last episode of Series 2 of Sherlock (Reichenbach Falls).

Trust me peeps - for those of you looking to find a new addiction - Sherlock (on BBC) starring Benedict Cumberbatch (aka Khan in the new Star Trek Movie) and Martin Freeman (aka Bilbo Baggins in the new Hobbit movies).
