Well UK dramas routinely swap out lead characters because contracts are done season by season verses long term commitments in the US. 
Fair point. In the sphere of US dramas though, there has been an astronomical amount of turnover on this show.


GoT?
I wouldnt know as I don't watch nerd fantasy crap.
Game of Thrones is the only good show on HBO with a name that starts with the letter G.

You forgot about The Gwire and Grue Detective.

If you think I'm going to countenance you backhandedly insulting Getting On that way, you are sorely mistaken.

He's good in the Red Road which is a highly underrated series on Sundance.

At least we have five seasons of him to enjoy in Stargate Atlantis.

I binge watched this over the weekend. Starz OnDemand is one episode ahead of broadcast if you care.

It's pretty good, I agree.

Yeah we just watched episode five and it's only two weeks behind the UK airing, three more episodes to go.

Ha, just finished the first "season" last night. Kind of a mind fuck. Especially the 2nd and 3rd episodes. I don't really know how to describe it… I think on Netflix it's called "this generation's Twilight Zone" and some people have said "Twilight Zone meets Twitter". Either way it's definitely interesting. Probably gonna watch the 2nd season tonight.
I watched the first two episodes of Black Mirror and they were OK but it was one of those things where it was SO HYPED and since no one could really see it in America without going to torrents, it couldn't possibly live up to the hype. I definitely get the Twilight Zone comparisons.
I hadn't heard about it until a few days ago, so I didn't really know what I was getting in to. There are definitely not so subtle undertones about modern day society in it.

It was really hyped on like AV Club and Hollywood Prospectus. IIRC, one of the two made it their program of the year and at the time it was completely unviewable in America (sans illegal downloads).
