| Luna tick | What Box Set are you watching? In the vein of "What Music are you listening to Right now?" and "What Film are you watching?" I thought I create this thread for Box sets, as they are usually TV series (although we have a few that are films either for a specific director or an actor) I put it here. Recently box sets have become a staple of our viewning time table, so I'll start. Presently we are 7 episodes of the way through Band of Brothers (which is technically half of a Band of Brothers/Pacific box set (only £29!! bargin) and we also started 30 Rock season 1 this weekend (have watched about 4 episodes) both are very good (and very different) Recently we were blown away by the Game of Thrones box set (devoured in a weekend) and have been pleasantly surprised by True Blood series 1. |

| Re: What Box Set are you watching? I love "power discing" through DVD box sets. I've just finished watching series 5 of the Office and series 1 of the Walking Dead. Space: Above and Betond will be my next purchase. Oh, and i really want to watch Babylon 5 from start to finish again. |

| Comment Giver | Re: What Box Set are you watching? What a great idea for a thread. I've just started to work my way through some of the boxsets I've had for ages but never got round to watching. Currently watching the second (and final) season of 'Life' starring Damien Lewis. An unusual Police procedural, it may have only lasted two seasons, but I still find it one of the most entertaining shows of that type that I have ever seen. |

| Wherever I Am, I'm There | Re: What Box Set are you watching? The Godfather parts 1,2 & 3. Does that count? I just bought it but haven't watched them yet. I have a huge number of films on DVD but for some reason I haven't bought very many TV series, and those were mainly comedies - Spaced, Young Ones, Fawlty Towers I do have Firefly, Alien Nation and Planet of the Apes TV series box sets. And I thoroughly recommend those three TV series. |

| Re: What Box Set are you watching? Just finished True Blood Season 3. Good but starting to get a bit silly. Now, I've just started watching The Walking Dead Season 1 to bring me up to speed before getting season 2 in august. |

| <3D~ | Re: What Box Set are you watching? All my boxsets are packed away, but I'm watching TV series online. 4oD is pretty good if you're in the UK as they have all old stuff on there too. (And it's legal, of course.) Recently watched the UK Queer as Folk (starring Aidan Gillen AKA Littlefinger in GoT). And am pondering watching Misfits, as I see they've got that on there too. |

| Comment Giver | Re: What Box Set are you watching? I'll second that about Misfits Mouse. Excellent series, like Alphas but at a higher volume. Have finished Life and forgot how good it was, the ending feels a little rushed - and there are a few unfinished dangly bits, but at least it was given a proper conclusion. Some great one-liners and quirks. Now moving on to the first season of Quantum Leap. Oh boy! |

| Luna tick | Re: What Box Set are you watching? Quantum Leap? That brings back memories. ![]() Well we finished Band of Brothers and are ploughing our way through 30 Rock season 1, which is very funny. Got quite a few on our shelves that we haven't started including, but not limited to, Life on Mars, Downton Abbey, The bridge |
