Television, drug of the nation

I've stuck on a couple of things recently and quickly thought 'no'. Vikings. Dexter.

Anyone else watching Under The Dome? 99% sure that it is not going to be as good, but one of the main characters is that actor who plays White's bro-in-law in BB and was the main guy in The Shield (The Shield which might just sneak no. 1 in my all time list ahead of BB and The Wire).

Vikings, I quite liked. Entertaining and factually accurate as far as it goes.
Dexter, Its shit but I've watched it all so far, I guess I will make it to the end.
Under the Dome, utter balderdash, dreadful acting and writing, but I always watch it for a laugh.

btw, Michael Chiklis took the lead in The Shield but Dean Norris is the one in Breaking Bad, different blokes.
