Sky Atlantic is one of the best things to arrive on our TVs in recent years. Well, it is in my opinion. There are some great shows on the channel. I'm currently enjoying The Following with Kevin Bacon. He plays a former FBI agent called back to duty to track down an escaped serial killer obsessed with the writing of Edger Allen Poe. It's gripping, the end of each episode keep you hooked as the killer always appears to be one step ahead of Bacon. It is unrelentingly grim though with multiple slayings many of which involve blades. To confuse matters when the show first started airing Kevin Bacon was advertising a mobile phone company.
Also on Sky Atlantic packing my Thursday night are Blue Bloods and Vegas . The former stars Tom Selleck, his moustache and Donnie Wahlberg. Selleck is the New York Police commissioner and all his family are involved in law enforcement. It's one of those series they specialise with in the US where if you miss a couple of episodes do don't miss a continuing story line. Straight after Blue Bloods is Vegas starring Dennis Quaid as the LV sheriff pitting his wits against Chicago gangster and casino boss Michael Chiklis. I do love a show about Vegas. I hear the show has been dropped after only one series so fingers crossed it's picked up by another network, in the style of Southlands .
Weekdays finish off in style with Treme . They're still mopping New Orleans after Katrina using drink and a booming horn section.
Happy viewing.
