Vikings is really good, especially considering the fact that it's The History Channel's first original dramatic show Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081248921057857970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350047293841073888.post-31876639527381135932013-11-14T16:09:57.117-05:002013-11-14T16:09:57.117-05:00ok, enough said. i will skip it.ok, enough said. i will skip it.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10076160316071071272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350047293841073888.post-72911553390686386642013-11-14T10:20:11.557-05:002013-11-14T10:20:11.557-05:00You really don't NEED to watch Downton Abbey. ...You really don't NEED to watch Downton Abbey. It's better than Ray Donovan but that isn't saying much. It's very Pride and Prejudice (possibly my least favorite required reading book from high school), and if it doesn't change gears soon (we're still in season 1) I might bail.zmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435738243743797845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350047293841073888.post-40357278895489011902013-11-14T09:52:15.849-05:002013-11-14T09:52:15.849-05:00thanks. now i need someone to tell me i don't ...thanks. now i need someone to tell me i don't need to watch downton abbey and all the other shows, and then i'll be set.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10076160316071071272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350047293841073888.post-35073119953429719912013-11-14T09:22:25.558-05:002013-11-14T09:22:25.558-05:00You really don't need to watch Ray Donovan. I...You really don't need to watch Ray Donovan. I watched the entire first season in large part because I pay for Showtime and I wanted to convince myself that this was money well spent because I was getting more than just Homeland. Ray Donovan is a goofy show despite having many big-name cast members. We just started watching Downton Abbey and it's a better use of your time.zmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435738243743797845noreply@blogger.com
