With the very sad passing of the late Spartacus: Blood and Sand lead, Andy Whitfield, I find it hard to decide on what to make of the second season of the show, Spartacus: Vengeance. Sure the first season was nothing short of spectacular, but it’s always very difficult for a show to continue when the actor portraying the main character is changed for whatever reason. It’s looked upon with a certain distain and it can often signal the end of a TV Show. Of course, these are very special circumstances, but nevertheless my scepticism unbfortunately remained. For a time.

After the turbulence The Walking Dead suffered between the first and second seasons, the departure of showrunner Frank Darabont and the heavily reduced budget (diverted to Mad Men if can believe it), it was hard to call whether AMC would back the epic Zombie drama series for a third season, but today, thankfully, AMC have belayed the fears of geeks all around the world and made it official.

The Walking Dead will return for a third season and all I have to say about that is…FUCK YEAH!

When Zombieland was released way back in 2009, it pretty much took everyone by surprise.

It has to be said that Justified is one of the best shows on TV in recent years which is seemingly flying under the radar. The show is understated, but has built up something of a fanbase regardless and the main draw of the show, at least to me, seems to be the very character driven nature of the show.

But then with Timothy Olyphant and Walter Goggins leading the way, it’s hardly surprising the show is an underground hit and the cast list is about to get a whole lot better in season 3.
