Have you seen Season 1 yet? That really sets the scene and introduces most of the main characters.
Season Three just started here last week on free-to-air, and it got a lot weirder.

Oh yes, I should have mentioned that I watched the first season last year and enjoyed it. I thought that it was Series 2 that was being shown on TV at the moment - I can't imagine them drawing it out for a third season.
I watched a few episodes of the first season when it came out here, and man it sucked. It was hilarious watching the episode where the dome became magnetised and the writers obviously had no clue at all how magnetism works.

Oh, that was the start of the second season. That was a pretty good episode!
Nail-biting drama. If you want accurate science, read a book or watch a doco, man!

I slept in and out of 'American Horror Story Season 2' and enjoyed the episodes that I did see. I am now watching Season 3 - it's about a witches' coven in New Orleans. Oh man, there are some really cringeworthy scenes in this season, but I plan to watch the season in its entirety because I really want to see where it's going.
I have to watch the rest of 'Under the Dome Season 2' some time, but I don't know if I ever will get around to doing so. I kind of lost interest...

I've recently watched the entire Lost series for the first time. I loved it, definitely one of my favourite series. I would recommend paying attention when watching, you'll notice little coincidences and stuff like that. I'd heard about people not being happy with the final but I thought it was perfect!

Has LOST finally been screened on the lone New Zealand channel?
I usually poke fun at Chlidonias, but now I see there's another Kiwi. I loved LOST, and yes, I do have the T-shirts - one is a polo with the Oceanic Airlines logo, and the other polo has the numbers on it (4,8,15,16,23,42). I used to play those number in the local lottery and once won $14.
Do you watch 'Once Upon a Time'? Same writers (or is it producers?) as LOST. They often make nods to LOST - for example there is a sticker on a car for Geronimo Jackson, the whiskey is McCutcheons, I think they once bought Apollo candy bars, the clock was stuck at 8:15, the plane flying overhead had the Oceanic logo on it etc, and many actors from LOST make appearances, like Claire, Hugo, Charles Widmore, Charlotte, and Juliet.
Anyone here watch Bojack Horseman? The show does a lot of animal jokes so I can picture a lot of ZooChat users liking it.

I love LOST and eventually bought the entire run on dvd as I couldn't cope with:
a) UK terrestrial TV showing it at random odd times
b) deciding not to show it one week for heat 6 of golden ferret juggling or some other obscure sport (possibly cricket..!)
c) having to wait a week between episodes and forgetting the plot
d) deciding not to renew the contract and stopping airing it after season 4.
much better watched obsessively back to back until you physically cannot stay awake!

I watched it on DVD and bluray but it did air on TV in NZ around the same time as the States. Cool about the Lotto, hope you didn't get bad luck! I've heard of Once Upon a Time, just haven't got round to watching it yet. Wow, I had no idea about its' connections to Lost, thanks for letting me know!

Karoocheetah: Glad to hear that you are binge watching!! There is only one episode that I have never seen to this day, and that is because I was tired after a long day of work when it first aired and I fell asleep. It turns out that it was supposedly the worst episode of LOST ever and the writers regretted it. It's the one where some people are buried alive because of a spider bite. Nicki and Paolo?
Driftaguy: Great, you need to bingewatch Once Upon a Time now!!

Has anyone see 'The Returned'? I watched all 10 episodes of Season 1 on Netflix and loved the show!
It's an American remake of a French series called 'Les Revenants' - I haven't seen the French version so I can't comment on which is better. The premise is that long-dead residents of a small mountain community in Washington state appear on the same day with no recollection of being killed or of being dead.
They say it's a supernatural thriller, but that's a stretch. I found it to be an extremely emotional journey as we follow how the 'returned' adapt to a society that has moved on. Moreover, I think that why this series works is that we can all imagine the confusion, joy, sorrow, fear etc that the families of the 'returned' feel when seeing them for the first time in decades.
Carlton Cuse, who was a writer and showrunner for 'LOST' is also involved in this series, which probably explains the use of 'flashbacks'.
Anyway, if it sounds like your cup of tea, give it a watch. I rate it 8/10, and look forward to season 2.

Meeh, sorry guys, most of this is for nerds and "wanna be intelectuals" only.
The real good ones (and I'm into) are:
-Rerun of "Two and a half men" (with Charlie Sheen as main cast of course)
-Rerun of "Married with Children" (love to hear Al Bundy and love to see Pumpkin Kelly)
-Modern Family (Ed O'Neil is still great, and Sofia Vergara is probably the best import from Columbia ever)
-Rerun of "How I met your mother" (Don't mess with Barney Stinson)
-Rules of Engagement (wanna have Russell Dunbars Job)
-Rerun of "Magnum P.I." (just cool and funny)
-Rerun of "The Fall Guy" (but only the opening sequence, where Heather Thomas is opening the saloon doors, the stories itself are awful)
Miss "Baywatch" (guess why!), "The Wonder Years" and "Miami Vice"

You would really love New Zealand then. They have one TV channel and these shows are just being screened there for the first time.

Narcos. It was released on Netflix late last week, and I watched all 10 episodes. It's fantastic! 9/10.
It's a violent crime drama that charts the rise and fall of the richest criminal (US$30 billion) of all time: Pablo Escobar. Remember him? The hippos from his private zoo are probably still thriving in the Colombian jungle...
If you enjoyed 'City of God' and 'City of Men', then you'll enjoy this.
