I inadvertently caught the first one a few weeks ago (about some basketball player whose name I can't recall) and all the ones I've subsequently seen - covering a range of incidents and characters in different sports - have been fascinating.

I usually don't enjoy American "sports" but those documentaries are brilliant, really well made and very interesting. I've watched about 10 of them so far. The one about the LA Raiders leaving LA to return to Oakland was excellent. Imagine if Arsenal just upped and pissed off to Brighton or somewhere? It's a bizarre concept the American Sports "Franchise".

"The Killing", new on AMC is fantastic. Only 3 episodes in so far, very dark & depressing though.

Should keep me entertained until Breaking Bad returns in July...

Bet they change the ending.

Why can't the fucking Amercians cope with subtitled programmes, and have to re-make everything.

Wankers.

I can't find a good copy of the original Danish version to watch, heard good things about it. Reviews of the US version have generally been decent though & they say it pays good credit to the original. I wouldn't expect a shoddy production from AMC though, best network out there along with HBO...

It will probably be a good production Dan, I just find it's lazy, and there is absolutely no need for it.

I've got a good mind to tell you who did it.

Best show on TV mate! And it gets better & better, season 3 is immense! Season 4 starts in July

I've had a little read around online & some people suggesting they've changed bits of the storyline for the US version, including the killer. Not sure how true it is.

Just about to watch the last night's episode of it anyway and season 2 of HBO's "Treme" started last night too. Haven't had a chance to watch yet but it's another great show...
