Thanks for the info fella.

In my eyes Ripper Street has been pointless after the first couple of episodes. It's stories became pretty boring and it seemed to have run its natural cause. Am not going to give it anymore time or money on BBC or other suppliers.

I could not understand which time period "Bates Motel" was supposed to be set in. The clothes and sets had a 60's feel (much like Pyscho) and yet they had modern cars, generally modern values and modern technology. It was also far from suspenseful or even fast paced. I gave up after 5 rather pointless episodes.

The less said about Heroes the better. It has clearly been a cash cow since the bad guy (was it Sylar?) survived after the end of the first series. It was poor script writing to just say "the bad guy survives". The whole first season was focussed on people finding out how kill to kill the bad guy. When they found the way to kill him, he magically survived. A strong team of writers would have killed the bad guy after the first series and found another bad guy for the next series. As stated before, a huge cash cow which leaves more questions unanswered than answered.

I appreciate many other people would have liked these series, and I understand content is subjective. The production and direction may also be acceptable enough but, for me though, these series are pretty pointless and some contain very, very basic flaws. Will not give any of them the time of day.

I hope others will continue to enjoy them though.
