Ah well; I'll stop watching it

War Of The Worlds is okay; though I might not have bothered but for the Victorian, British setting. I lost interest in the Dublin Murders after two episodes (and in Vienna Blood after thirty minutes). Just finished rewatching 'The Killing' AKA 'Forbrydelsen' (1) and 'Borgen' (1-3) on DVD.
