Dominic West - as well as Idris Elba as Stringer Bell

Idris Elba doesn't work as an englishman for me. The fact that he wasn't
American was so undetectable (by me) that the englishness of his
character in Luther just seems weird.

I miss The Wire. I've managed to relive it vicariously a couple of times
by getting co-workers to watch it, but I just want it to start again.

Me and the wife are enjoying Treme, but it's very much a straight drama.

Then there's Joseph Fiennes & Jack Davenport (FlashForward), Joely
Richardson (Nip/Tuck), Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies), Lena Headey (The
Sarah Connor Chronicles)

You watch too much TV. :)
