Real English Conversation: Talking about TV

A: Did you see the last season of Game of Thrones?

B: Yep.. I’ve got to say, I’m a little disappointed. I thought it would be better.

A: Me too. It felt so rushed. They tried to do too much. But.. the special effects were amazing. I mean.. that dragon scene was epic.. It looked so real.

B: Shocking wasn’t it. They burnt everyone alive.

A: Well. Now that the season is done I need something new to watch. Any recommendations?

B: Did you see Wu-Tang?

A: What’s that? Wu- Tang? As in the rap group?

B: Yeah. they have a tv series. It’s pretty cool.

A: No way. That’s great. Is it any good?

B: Not bad. It won’t win any awards but it’s interesting to learn about them.

A: It’s a documentary?

B: No. It’s a drama. But it’s based on real life.

A: Okay. So. what’s been your favourite tv show this year?
