    I had my doubts. Everyone had been telling me it's the best show ever. The first episode drew me in a bit but my impression was that I would enjoy it, but that was all.

    I've finished season 4. I watched 1-3 with the missus (she's seen it before) then she went away for a week and I couldn't help but watch 4. I now have to watch 4 again with her as I can't tell her I've seen it, then I'll be powering through 5.

    This is without doubt the best TV show I have ever seen. Probably the most gripping piece of entertainment I've seen too. It can't really be described in anything other than superlatives, and I don't know anyone that has watched it and thought little of it.

    • You can forgive season 5 because of the genius before it, and for the closure in the last episode.MrT
    • Season 4 was the best I've seen so far. If season 5 is a let down in comparison it'll still be amazing I'm sure.
