Yes. The UK series is excellent. The US version sucked.
I haven't watched Season Two of it - waiting for it to show up on Netflix.

I hate to ruin the illusion of television for you, but some of the footage used in this series has been colorized.What amazed me, when that first came out years ago, is where all this color film came from. For the past four or five decades, WWII was in black and white and, then, BAM, like when Dorothy lands in OZ, everything was in color. What, did they find a cache of color film somewhere? It didn't happen gradually over time, it was like it happened all at once.

We're watching the final season of Sons of Anarchy on Netflix. I lost interest after the writers killed of Clay (Ron Perlman). I never liked the momma's boy Jax. His character is as interesting as a plank of wood.
I put Winds of War on hold for the time being...I started watching The Pacific instead.
Save your time. It quite possibly could be the stupidest show ever aired for longer than a single season. But there's a lot on Netflix to see, so that wouldn't be a wasted investment.I've only seen a few its and pieces of that show, but it could be the Next Big Boxset for us... We're up to date on Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead, and well into the penultimate season of Breaking Bad, so we're now looking into something else. A Netflix subscription may well be on the cards.

Here's one I recently found. Supposedly was in color originally, not sure.

One of the better episodes in a while. Having the mothers there was a nice addition to the ensemble. They both have great sitcom characters and actors. They went a little milktoast on the chain gang song, but I guess that is to be expected.The Big Bang Theory

Interesting theory, Worf. I haven't read the books either, but I've heard from my kids who have that the prevailing theory among fans is:
Jon Snow is actually the son of Ned's sister Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen (elder brother of Daenerys and her golden-crowned brother, who was crown prince under the Mad King). Lyanna was Robert's promised wife, but Rhaegar absconded with her, prompting Robert's Rebellion and the ultimate fall of the Targaryens to Robert. Ned came back from that war to Winterfell with baby Jon and claimed him as his own... but it was a likely a deathbed promise to his sister that he'd keep her secret. If this is true, Jon is another Targaryen claimant to the Iron Throne - and a Stark as well, representing a significant alliance of two powerful dynasties.
(My apologies to more serious fans of the books if I got any of this backstory wrong!)
