Right now theres about 4 TV shows that I want to watch but I need peoples opinions on them to see if theyre worth the watch and not just a wast of time.
Falling Skies:
There's been adverts here in the UK, looks pretty good
Teen Wolf:
Same as Falling Skies
Game of Thrones:
Heard nothing but good things about it
True Blood:
My friend is trying to get me to watch it, she says I'll love it
Thanks.

The only one out of those I watch is Falling Skies, and I really enjoy it!
It's one of those shows where you really care about the characters, and less about what's going on around them. Noah Wyle is just so easy to like in the main role that it's a breeze watching everybody around him too. Sure, the stories are a TAD on the predictable side as far as post apocalyptic shows go, but like I said, it's the characters that will draw you in.
Hope that helps!

I have been watching falling skies and have thoroughly enjoyed the premise and the characters.
As for Teen Wolf, anything via MTV just seems like a bad idea.
Game of Thrones: I have not had a chance to give it a watch yet but I have heard mix reviews on it and I couldn't stomach the books, they bored me far to fast.
True Blood was ok the first season and then it just got to....idk...just to much. The books are far more outrages according to my wife but she loves both the books and the show so I would say its a matter of perspective and I just didnt care for the over all product they have put out.

Falling Skies and Game of Thrones = Amazing Television Programming
Teen Wolf and True Blood = Garbage

Falling Skies - average writing, nice effects but it is a distinctly blah show.
Teen Wolf - sounds like a bad idea.
Game Of Thrones - Best show on tv this year, only Breaking Bad can top it.
True Blood - fun. you would adore it.

Game of Thrones is one of the best shows on TV, True Blood is ok, and from what I've read the other two are terrible.

If you like Lord of The Rings you'd like GOT, it was a little slow for my taste but it was kinda ok... Sorta.

Falling Skies is pretty good so far and True Blood is good but a little out their. All I can say is take the time to check them all out and don't listen to peoples opinions, do you have any idea how many times I have heard a show or movie was terrible and then watched it and thought it was pretty good.

Being a huge fan of Conan Stevens, I would say that Game Of Thrones is really really great.

I couldn't finish the first episode of Falling Skies. I felt like it moved too fast and it really WANTED to be an alien version of "The Walking Dead". I also couldn't stand all of the self advertising. It started with a 1 minute countdown with a voiceover "YOU'RE ONE MINUTE AWAY FROM FALLING SKIES!" Then it started. At every commercial break it was "FALLING SKIES THIS FALLING SKIES THAT! YOU'RE WATCHING FALLING SKIES". Halfway thru I was was like "Yeah...1.) I turned it over here because I knew it was on and 2.) It says..."FALLING SKIES" in the corner of the TV. It just wasn't my type of show I suppose.

Game of Thrones is required viewing at this point. True Blood is fun if you're into that sort of thing.

I only know about Falling Skies and True Blood.
I like them both but I've only seen one episode of Falling Skies..
I would still recommend it and True Blood since I like them.

Falling Skies isn't terrible, but it isn't the best thing I've ever seen either. This is one you'll have to watch and make up your mind on your own.
Game of Thrones, I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS SHOW! I love it, it's terrific. Plus there was only 10 episodes in the first season, easy to get through. I continuously have the theme song running through my head. As someone who didn't know much about the series the 1st episode somewhat confused me but after that it was quite easy to understand.
