Fringe I am forced to watch by the missus but I like it, more for the eccentric walter character than the show as a whole.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Horneris on February 14, 2010, 09:31:23 AM The Vampire Diaries is a great show if your into vampires and stuff. Its a bit like Twilight except its not terrible. Its a lot better than True Blood imo. Boon from Lost is one of the 3 lead characters, hes awesome as a bad guy, much better than in Lost. Theres 2 vampire brothers who were turned 150 years ago, one is bad but the other is good and goes to high school trying to be normal. He falls in love with a mev bird (theres a few mev birds in it) and theres loads of side stuff integrating the past with the future as vampires and witches have always been prevalent in the town (some town members are aware of this but not many) and all the families have long histories. Theres been 14 episodes so far, still in Season 1, think its on ITV2 but i download it. Really good.
Wikipedia The Vampire Diaries is an American supernatural-fantasy horror television series developed by Kevin Williamson, based on the book series of the same name by L. J. Smith. The series follows the life of Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who falls in love with vampire brothers Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). The series also focuses on the lives of Elena's friends and other inhabitants of the fictional town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. The series is a mix of teen drama and the supernatural. When The Vampire Diaries premiered on The CW Television Network on September 10, 2009, it attracted the largest audience of any series since the network began in 2006.[1] Due to strong ratings, the series was given a full, 22-episode first season on October 21, 2009.[2] The show's first season finale will air on May 13, 2010.[3] (http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3643/richisafatty.jpg) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: ChipRich on February 14, 2010, 10:59:36 AM It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia (brilliant, so comedy)

Then i need to get around to watching 7 seasons of 24 which im sure will be incred but needs a lot of time and dedication im guessing, lol.

Friday night lights,you don't have to be a fan of american football to enjoy this series,starts off a little formulaic but well worth sticking with it,some great characters.

I'll give them a go for sure, can't knock until you try :) Another couple I missed off my list Underbelly and Brotherhood. Underbelly is 2 separate stories based over 2 seasons, based on actual events in Australia. Brotherhood is about two brothers, one is a politician and the other a criminal, it's no Sopranos but it was quite a decent watch.

my mate has it and from what ive seen of it seems to be a mix of ROME , mixed with the artistic fighting of 300 and a porn movie one clip that springs to mind is John Hannah and Lucy Lawless as 2 roman nobles having a chat whilst being "warmed up" by 2 hand maidens before going to the marital bed Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Scottish Dave on March 14, 2010, 11:57:14 PM one clip that springs to mind is John Hannah and Lucy Lawless as 2 roman nobles having a chat whilst being "warmed up" by 2 hand maidens before going to the marital bed Its online, ive seen it.

In bright orange and dayglow green and 3 times bigger than the old control room, its built on 2 floors with staircases to the centre. Its a bit too much for my eyes, lets have the old tardis back.

More importantly 5 pages in and no one has mentioned the greatest bit of telly ever, a great show, but this moment was the best ever.....

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: The-Crow on April 11, 2010, 12:54:14 AM Doctor Who Episode 2
An idea stolen from Discworld, of a large Turtle carrying a world on its back The clothes that dry clean themselves in minutes after being soaked in whale vomit and the script reversed to give the companion the solution and the Doctor made to look like an idiot. It would never had happened in a Russell T Davies script. Far too many mistakes in this story BBC. Hope the next episode is better Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Cf on April 11, 2010, 01:33:08 AM Doctor Who Episode 2 An idea stolen from Discworld, of a large Turtle carrying a world on its back I thought that was so cool. Nothing wrong with referencing other things :) The clothes that dry clean themselves in minutes after being soaked in whale vomit and the script reversed to give the companion the solution and the Doctor made to look like an idiot. The Doctor had a solution. Ok, not as good as the solution Amy had but it was a solution none the less. And Amy's solution was risky, whereas the Doctor's was pretty safe (well as safe as can be in these things lol). I read this as them showing us that the Doctor needs a human companion who can pick up on things that he himself might not. And something needs to be done to show Amy as a strong character. It would never had happened in a Russell T Davies script. No. He'd have introduced 5 random characters, killed them off, brought the entire ship to ruin followed by pressing a big button labelled deus ex machina to fix everything up. Far too many mistakes in this story BBC. Hope the next episode is better Above. ps, thank god Russell T Davies has nothing more to do with this show :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on April 11, 2010, 04:51:15 PM Saw the last 20 mins of Doctor Who yesterday, wow abs terrible!!!....that is all...

Puzzled confused, here's how I see it In the future , the doctor will travel back into the past to the start of the universe the Big bang. But as he is now locked in a box, he will not travel back in time and help start the big bang , so as the big bang never happened, slowly one by one the galaxies are fading away and the great silence is left. Unless the doctor can find away out of the box all creation will cease to exsist. Only Amy will be able to change things, as she is outside and the tardis protects her from temporal changes. But shes dead , so we are all stuffed, lol Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: JK on June 21, 2010, 03:48:49 PM Doctor Who 2 part Finale Puzzled confused, here's how I see it In the future , the doctor will travel back into the past to the start of the universe the Big bang.

But shes dead , so we are all stuffed, lol Where did it say about the big bang? As far as I know, the explosion thats put cracks in the galaxies is from the Tardis exploding (end of the first part). The only thing I can think of is Liz 13? coming to do something. She was in the first part briefly and never made an appearance at Stonehenge. Either that or Rory turns human. Pretty good Cliffhanger imho :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Cf on June 21, 2010, 04:32:18 PM I think we're to assume Amy is dead. She was shot at point blank range after all and looked pretty lifeless in the last shot of her.
Slight spoilers for next episode. Nothing too major that isn't revealed in the synopsis for it and might help with speculation about what will happen.. Don't scroll down if you don't want to know... It's up to Amelia to save the day. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: The-Crow on June 21, 2010, 09:27:50 PM The last episode is called " The Big bang"

Going to check out Seinfeld now as never watched it. Its a shame you have done them in the wrong order, Larry David is like a crankier ruder version of George, saying the things you wanted George to say. I worry that George may seem a bit too silly and cute when you watch him second. Be interested in what you think. But you are gonna love it, stick with it for the first couple of series, they get much much better and plant the seeds for future series. Seinfeld may be the best sitcom off all time.

Once you are a few series in you understand the dynamic, realise that something huge and silly is going to happen from something very trivial, then part of the fun is the anticipation of what silly thing is gonna happen. Once you get to the 'Opposite' or maybe the 'NBC Pilot' you will be hooked. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Scottish Dave on August 13, 2010, 05:18:06 PM Just watched episode 6 season 7 of Entourage and this show always delivers. Highly recommend catching up all 6 seasons and jumping onboard the entourage train. Everymans dream. Its how I imagine Flushy and the shrewdies are. Ari Gold - Legend Watched it on Monday, I thought Entourage had lost it's touch as the first 2 or 3 weren't that funny, but the last couple have been good, I thought Episode 5 when Ari start cracking up about Lizzie was Ari at his best! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Scottish Dave on August 21, 2010, 01:06:21 PM And I have just watched the entire Office Season 6 in one day. Didn't even feel like a waste, I can safely say there has never been a bad episode (Jim and Pam started to get nauseating but they are back on track). Yeah it just never fails to crack me up, there are so many great characters it's incred!! Dwight is always amazing :D Dwight K Schrute is by far the best TV character to ever be created Not a Chance! Hank Moody smashes all before him! also got round to starting Breaking Bad last night, look class so far Breaking Bad is really good, different from something id normally watch, but really good. Walt is class, hank is a good support charactor......Heisenburg is the nuts! His hat is amazing!

Ok it's just that he said you have so much to look forward to and reeled off some more characters from Breaking Bad and you answered talking about a bunch of other shows. Looked like you hadn't gotten what he was talking about... Meh although it is funny granted, it's not meant to be a comedy. Though if you don't like it then you don't like it :) The Wire is not about lawyers really at all although given the storylines and characters there are obviously a few about. There are several groups/storylines in the show. The Drug Trade Police Department Politics Omar who is the don! Later seasons incorporate more groups too like the Stevedores who work the docks and a heavy organised crime outfit run by 'the greek'. You also have the opposing Baltimore drug outfit to the Season 1 crew and later Marlo Stanfield too. It's just a really well worked show with some amazing characters, a couple people I know were sceptical about it too until they watched it and then rinsed all 5 seasons in quick time!

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on August 26, 2010, 10:40:28 AM Am I the only one who thinks of "The Office US" as "The Office" and the original as "the crappy UK version"? Shame on you. But I hate to say I know what you mean. I still think the UK one is the best one, episode for episode, but the sheer quality of the US one combined with the fact they probably have 100 episodes under their belt probably makes it the superior. I really enjoy the actual plot development of the US one (for example I hope Andy gets back with that new secetary) which is another difference, although the Tim and Dawn kiss was probably one of the best scenes in the entire UK series. The funniest episode of all of them UK training day episode where Dave Brent goes home to get his guitar. In short, both are pure quality. I think I heard there was a Canadian one too, I wonder what thats like. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Josedinho on August 26, 2010, 04:03:18 PM I think Dwight rules all.
UK one is better i think in terms of quality per episode but US version is incred for the fact it's been that good for so long.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on October 04, 2010, 02:40:45 PM I don`t really understand the ins and outs of syndication but basically they sold the rights to comedy central, the first cable channel to cable channel sale apparently.
I think they normally sell to some sort of distributor so it can get aired around the world but this strange sale meant it still only gets shown on US cable Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on October 04, 2010, 02:42:01 PM Discovered and love 'Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia' recently, nice silly sociopathic hidden gem there what a life, fantastic. yeah, this ^^^^^ toasty life always amazes me when people post to say they`ve just found this. have you been living in a cave? lol, hardly easy to find it when its never been shown in the UK to the best of my knowledge. Still, much better for me that I can potentially watch all of them in a week or two. No idea why it isn't shown over here because its exactly the sort of export we like (ie. too clever for Americans). Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on October 04, 2010, 02:43:59 PM lol, hardly easy to find it when its never been shown in the UK to the best of my knowledge. yeah but what I meant is it`s been bigged up so often on blonde I`m always amazed by regular posters who suddenly discover it Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on October 04, 2010, 02:46:44 PM lol, hardly easy to find it when its never been shown in the UK to the best of my knowledge. yeah but what I meant is it`s been bigged up so often on blonde I`m always amazed by regular posters who suddenly discover it Ah right, that's because unfortunately I have a backlog of shows I am yet to watch and it will have been lost in the crowd. Funnily enough, just spoke to an American friend who likes the same sort of humour and he had never heard of it either.

Its a perfect show to watch after Curb. Basically if you got the writers of Curb, Seinfeld and Family Guy together and told them to make a remake of Cheers, this is what you end up with.

Without ruining it for me, no doubt season 1 will end on something of a cliff hanger, is it gonna be the sort of cliff hanger where my natural urge will be to carry on, or is there some sort of resolution I can hang onto to stop me watching the rest of it?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on October 04, 2010, 06:03:59 PM I quite liked season 2 of prison break. the only real problem with it is it could never possibly be as awesome as season 1
then, as sledge says, I had to watch season 3 to see what happens Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sweet potata! on October 20, 2010, 04:02:21 PM Have Entourage Season 1 downloaded, anyone seen it? Any good?

Any good? not sure if this is a level tbh. that's the 19th post mentioning it just in this thread on the offchance it's not a level make sure you've got plenty of time cos you won't want to watch just one ep. in fact take some time off work and get the other series downloaded and ready Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sweet potata! on October 20, 2010, 04:10:22 PM Have Entourage Season 1 downloaded, anyone seen it?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on October 21, 2010, 07:58:49 PM I'm half way through season 4 of Seinfeld,enjoying it.I'd rate it about 7/10.Anyone know why the audience applauses Kraymer when he comes into the episode,I don't get it as he's a main character,and my favourite character;is it just because they like him just normally the applause would be prompted so I'm confused.

I think its because it took a long time for people to get the fact that Seinfeld was not your normal run of the mill Sitcom, so the people who cheer were the dumb yanks in the audience who basically were saying 'me like man with funny hair' Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on October 22, 2010, 12:47:04 PM Looks awesome...

Its an 80 hour harddrive that records all the freeview programs.
With a wireless adapter to our home hub, it can pick up all the iplayer sites , BBC/ITV/CH4/CH5. Now I can watch all the programs I missed on the big telly in the lounge in an armchair, and not stare at my PC on an Office chair,lol The best part is all the ITV player programs are advert free, yes, NO adverts at all, v nice. Faults so far; It cannot record any of these Iplayer programs, they stream only. It cannot record any Sky programs, tried plugging the scart lead in from the sky box, but it does nothing Anyone else tried one yet, is there a way to record other stuff Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on November 04, 2010, 05:51:14 PM 4 episodes in, brilliant stuff!

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Hairydude on November 07, 2010, 07:32:13 PM Boardwalk Empire is great,takes about three episodes to get going but it's worth it. ^^^^^^ this..... great programme Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Horneris on November 09, 2010, 06:07:45 AM I liked the first 2 episodes of The Walking Dead.
Some parts were slow but in the main i enjoyed the character and storyline development. Obviously its something we've all seen before in relation to all zombie movies but with the exception of Zombieland which was awful, i've always been a fan of films like that and it will be interesting to see how it progresses as a series. I think its rather convenient his wife, son and best friend are some of the few survivors but i guess that will add to the story. In terms of other programs, nothing ground-breaking, thoroughly enjoying Nikita, the new seasons of Dexter and Supernatural are strong and The Vampire Diaries, Fringe and The League all continue to really impress. A little dissapointed with the new seasons of The Office US and Always Sunny but still both more than watchable. Also a shout out for Celebrity Coach Trip on 4od which started yesterday with Ben from big brother, the Chuckle Brothers and Raef from The Apprentice starring, its com. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Horneris on November 09, 2010, 06:12:26 AM Regarding The Walking Dead, i only just realised that Simon from Teachers is the main character.

Office has been pretty weak, I am really starting to dislike the main characters and am now finding the most entertainment from Andy, Daryl, the new secretary etc. It seems they are going to go for a changing of the gaurd kind of thing for next series which is good. Always Sunny - there has been a good episode followed by a bad episode, I think Dee having a baby could really make a future series awesome tho Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TheChipPrince on November 09, 2010, 09:56:26 AM In theres any shield fans out there:

In many ways its like a Tv adaption of the classic Michael Douglas film "Falling Down".

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on November 09, 2010, 11:17:48 PM Anyone on here get the impression Sledge13 is a fan of the tv series Breaking Bad? He just maybe, but I know unless its been hyped big time a lot of you wont watch, it was first shown in 2008 and ive missed it until now, if it had been on a mainstream channel everyone would be talking about it...fans of quality tv should not receive the same fate....a fella who wrote a few books called Stephen King has this to say: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20263453,00.html "As a result, this modest basic-cable network is now broadcasting the best scripted show on TV. Your Uncle Stevie may not care much for Mad Men, but he has never seen anything like BB on the tube." "It's like watching No Country for Old Men crossbred with the malevolent spirit of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre." "Thank God for basic cable, if it can produce programming as strange and compelling as this. Breaking Bad invites us into another world, just as The Shield and The Sopranos did, but Walt White could be a guy just down the block, the one who tried to teach the periodic table to your kids before he got sick. The swimming pool with the eye in it could be right down the block too. That's exactly what makes it all so funny, so frightening, and so compelling. This is rich stuff." Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Horneris on November 11, 2010, 02:12:31 AM The Event starts Friday night channel 4. Assuming its already been shown in the states - any of you downloaders already watched it? worth it? Decent enough so far yup, been watching this. Quite good so far and possibly has the potential to be epic. Poor reviews and falling fast in the ratings in the Usa, not going to bother...seems like the Networks are struggling to find a new blockbuster series like 24 and "Lost". Watched the first 7 episodes of The Event after Rich practically tied me down to a chair (in a very manly, ungay way) and forced me to, and it is brilliant. I can see why this comment might be applicable: "Many reviewers believed the average audience may not have the patience for this again after previous mystery shows" but i am not the average viewer, i love the mystery shows.

Back in 2010, the new American President ( an Obama Lookalike ) is told these people have been held in a detention centre for 66 years. The plane that crashed was not of Earth design and the passengers have not aged a day in 66 years. They refused to say how or where they came from, so they were being held, until they would explain He insists they are released and plans to hold a Press conference to tell the world As the press conference starts, a Hi-jacked plane begins to dive straight towards the press Hotel in Florida At the last minute a wormhole appears infront of the plane and it disappears.

Got 2 lists really - Comedy and Non-comedy Comedy - Blasted through the League and watch US Office weekly and working my way through Curb. Sunny in Phili is next on the list so that's covered. Non-comedy - Not had anything to fill the void that Lost left. Watching Walking Dead weekly which I like but what should i try and blast through next? The Event? Breaking Bad?

In before Sledge blows his load over his keyboard while trying to tell you to watch Breaking Bad. Sunny in Philadelphia is amazing, just watch all of them. 30 Rock isn't bad if you haven't watched that, takes a few episodes to get into.

I'm inclined to say that its the best TV show of all time, or at the very least, joint best with Lost (Lost I think is the better series as a whole, whereas any single series of 24 is better than a single series of, well, anything). Cannot wait for the film.
Which leaves me with a big hole to fill, probably gonna be Breaking Bad (if its bad I will lose all respect for Sledge), Sopranos & Dexter - one or more of those.

Yep 24 was a brilliant show, cant believe it started in 2001...time flys! I actually put Breaking Bad on a par with 24...100% sure you will love it. Dexter isnt as good but is still a great show (tho the 1st 2 seasons are easily the best).

Sadly the success of Walking Dead has killed Rubicon, which I thought was fantastic, as AMC has decided to concentrate on the zombies instead of the political/conspiracy show. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Cf on December 05, 2010, 02:01:58 PM Can't wait for Dexter tomorrow. Season started slow but has built up in a mental way.
My prediction for the finale (no spoilers as i obv have no idea): Deb finds out about Dexter via Liddy. Deb then kills Liddy to defend Dexter and the two of them dispose of the body. Recent eps seem to be trying to make Deb seem more sympathetic towards the whole killing people idea. I think they're building up to a reveal. As for Lumen: no idea. I assume she dies due to characters not bieng allowed to live past a season...

Even better if your in an NFL FF league! Such com lines and stuff thats true Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Alverton on December 05, 2010, 05:00:43 PM This time last year I had never seen a single episode, but this morning I finally caught up with 24 and finished season 8. I'm inclined to say that its the best TV show of all time, or at the very least, joint best with Lost (Lost I think is the better series as a whole, whereas any single series of 24 is better than a single series of, well, anything). Cannot wait for the film. Which leaves me with a big hole to fill, probably gonna be Breaking Bad (if its bad I will lose all respect for Sledge), Sopranos & Dexter - one or more of those. Im inclined to say that you have only ever watched two tv shows in ur life?? Each to there own of course but; 24 joint best with Lost??? This will soon change, hurry up and watch Sopranos and Dexter. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 05, 2010, 05:32:24 PM 24 was awesome, certainly one of the best ever shows on the telebox. I'm quite liking The Event at the moment and Dexter S5. Is it me or has Quinn lost a lot of weight? He's so thin he's looking ill.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 10, 2010, 10:04:12 PM Anybody watch lie to me is it any good I really liked the first season of this but they seem to have run out of ideas now. Yeah it's good but they're just dragging it out a bit until the inevitable Foster gets ironed out or Lightman and her get it on. Read this today... Lie to Me has not been cancelled. While it is not a good sign, The Chicago Code, a new drama from Shawn Ryan (The Shield, Terriers, and, yes, Lie to Me) had already been scheduled to take over Lie to Me‘s slot beginning February 7, and with American Idol taking up so much time on FOX’s schedule, it could well be this is simply a matter of there being too many shows for too few slots this spring. Regardless, as of now, FOX has not cancelled Lie to Me and a decision on the show’s fate is not expected until May.

It's even better than its highly-praised AMC schedule-mate 'Mad Men,' despite the fact that Matt Weiner and company put together a stellar third season last year. And it's not even close." Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 12, 2010, 02:23:11 PM Tonight is gonna be epic, can't wait for the last ep of Dexter
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on December 13, 2010, 09:10:44 PM The Walking Dead - Having now seen all of season 1 have to say it was just ok, expected a lot more, very cliched predictable characters a lot of the time...hopefully season 2 will pick up a bit...
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 13, 2010, 09:46:22 PM I loved it. Only thing I do concur with is there is nothing special about the characters yet, they are all decent enough but nobody stands out whereas most of the great shows these days have great characters. However I think it has been very scary, kept a very steady pace and didnt get stale (there is only so much you can do with zombies and they havent laboured that point at all) and has really left me wanting more. 6 episodes seems way to small and I assume this was a pilot season as much as anything, I think there is plenty of scope to open up in series 2.
No decent crumpet in it though :( Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 13, 2010, 09:47:00 PM also desperate to know what was whispered in his ear near the end

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on December 15, 2010, 12:11:08 PM Why do the season villians tie up Dexter and not expect him to escape...becoming way too easy for Dex these last two seasons, hopefully a bigger challenge for him next time, and Lumen Gtfo!!!

TP did meander a bit in season 2 (when David Lynch didn't really have anything to do with it) but it picks up towards the end when he came back on board. Still worth watching though. The movie was a prequel and I think it's great, though it's more disconnected from the TV series than a lot of people were expecting (different actress playing Donna, for one) hence why it got a bit of a bashing on release.

I wish Brent was a bit funnier in it because he is the overall better character, it would be awesome if he was the new Dunder Mifflin boss but it will never happen.

Remote record ftw. (If you've actually got a job, obv, otherwise you'd be at home, and wouldn't need it). Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on February 01, 2011, 06:13:04 PM Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage and of course 24 great shows if you've not seen, i've heard good things about Six Feet Under (Michael C Hall is in it)...anyone see it b4?
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on February 01, 2011, 06:13:39 PM One question though....WHERE THE FK IS BREAKING BAD! ;)
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: rex008 on February 01, 2011, 11:44:34 PM Never seen Six Feet Under, it's starting with the first ever episode on Thurs, so going to give it a go.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on February 02, 2011, 01:03:32 AM love six feet under. was probs the best thing on tv when season 1 aired
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sledge13 on February 02, 2011, 08:14:54 AM Ahhh n1...
Starting on Sky One this Sunday, update of a classic show and one of the best themes ever... YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Ba_jz22sI Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on February 03, 2011, 07:50:38 AM Liking Boardwalk Empire so far, seems a great mix of serious and funny, though in fairness it looks like it may turn out to be more the Steve Buscemi show than the next Sopranos (Not that I have properly seen the Sopranos yet but I am going to start now this new channel has arrived).
Gonna see what all the fuss with 6 Feet Under was about too. Sky Atlantic has proven something I thought for a while, which is that TV is the new movies. I have only seen a handful of movies in the last 5 years that compares to some of the great drama series that come out of the States. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Debo SCO on February 03, 2011, 02:09:41 PM Gonna clear out my recordings ready for this!

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sweet potata! on February 11, 2011, 08:23:52 PM Michael Scott met David Brent last night. Made me happy to see them together. Had read this spoiler before I had seen the episode Brent was in, I must say i was a tad disappointed that he was only in for that tiny part, seems a bit stupid that he just bumps into Michael Scott in a corridor in America? Surely he could of had a more prominent role in a full episode?

Surely he could of had a more prominent role in a full episode? I dont think it was sposed to be a big deal, just an in joke for the fans given that Steve Carell is leaving at the end of this series (I reckon 90% of the americans that watch it dont even know there was a British version). I would love it if Gervais came to the US version to replace Michael though Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sweet potata! on February 11, 2011, 08:30:18 PM I think It was the same episode were Michael thought he was getting back together with holly and he has a recording of himself on the computer and is dancing and playing music that was a brilliant scene.

I just downloaded the first 2 seasons of Being Human, haven't had time to start watching it yet unfortunately but will hopefully get round to it soon.

Always thought I preferred the UK version but the US version has just kept giving and giving. Could be an emotional few weeks coming up. If you like the US office try Parks and Recreation created by some of the same people and filmed in the same style. The first series is only 6 episodes long and kinda meh but it takes off a couple of episodes into the second series and imo is the best thing on US tv. Did anyone watch The Killing(Forbrydelsen) on BBC4? 20 part murder case set in Copenhagen,dark,grimey,twists and turns with some brilliant acting from the murdered girls parents and the lead detective.Well worth catching when it's repeated.So well done you will forget about the subtitles.

I have always been a massive series fan: my missus works a way from home for months on a time (brag) so when I am not playing pokes i hit films/series pretty hard. I have completed a lot of series with my favourites of the bunch being: Always sunny in Philadelphia, peep show, the shield, Modern Family, sopranos, waking dead, entourage, himym, arrested development, prison break, Lost, friends, the wire, boardwalk empire, Shameless, True Blood, Heroes, Scrubs, the middle, my name is earl, malcolm in the middle, dark skies, x files, the office, 24, bob, the pacific.. that is probably enough for now, ofah, blackadder, american dad. Series I watched a good few episodes of but didn't like are: The Event, Blue Bloods, House Ones I havent got around to seeing which are queued up are: Spaced, Dexter, the I.T Crowd Anyone have any suggestions of where i should start or great series that could have slipped under my radar? Really looking forward to game of thrones to start as well. Finding a little known series or a big series which i have missed is like heroin to a junkie for me. If you havent seen Always sunny or Modern family get em watched!! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: pokerfan on April 08, 2011, 11:18:56 AM Cheers, will watch.

Lots of great cameos from people doing interviews for his job. sigh, didn't realise that was the season finale. just checked and was also the finale of big bang theory. no idea what I'm gonna watch on fridays now Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on May 24, 2011, 04:56:43 PM House has jumped the shark multiple times but that finale really does top the lot of them. Ha when it started like it did I was thinking wtf has he done, blown up the hospital or something... I was never ever expecting that though!

Amazingly, the show is better without Steve Carell (who was brilliant, dont get me wrong, but his absense is letting all the fringe characters shine) and they may actually do better not replacing him. Lots of great cameos from people doing interviews for his job. I still think that Dwight Schrute might be the greatest of all time, he just gets better and better. I'm just watching Six Feet Under atm and he's just joined that in season 3 as a creepy trainee. He plays his part very well in that too. They say that CT is being touted as the favourite to replace Carell next season, I'm not sure who I prefer though as I thought JS was pretty great in that ep too.

They have managed to get the Dwight vs Jim thing back on track recently too, which has helped, especially as Jim was becoming the most nausiatingly smug character after being such a hero for so long. James Spader was superb in that episode, not sure if he would fit the Office, but he was the suprise package. Gervais was shite, real dissapointment, kinda liked Ray Romano too. Almost certain it will be one of the existing cast who gets the job.

Almost certain it will be one of the existing cast who gets the job. Yeah it's a much better dynamic when he's just trying to ruin Dwight's day as opposed to actually holding power over him. I'm not really sure why they bothered with Gervais as he's never gonna be involved really and was nothing more than just filler. I think Spader could be pretty epic and Catherine Tate was cringeworthy in a very comical way too. Will be interesting to see who binks the job when they start filming S8.

You could be right though, the cameos last week are all a red herring and they've already decided what they're doing next season with the present cast. I suppose it depends how long they want to run the show for as I don't know how many directions they can go if he's put in the chair. Should they put one of the new characters in I think it gives them more scope to work and develop it in order to keep the series running. I think for me it would be Spader>Tate>Romano Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Josedinho on May 25, 2011, 08:35:35 PM Anyone but Tate imo

If you like Summer Heights it is a must, if you didn't you are mad. Moonandback or anyone else, is Treme worth watching? Have got it all stacked up on Sky+ but just can't make the leap. I like Treme quite a lot, but the first series is better than the 2nd. I can quite understand that it is not everybodys cup of tea though. To enjoy it I think you need to prefer quality acting, with an excellent script and have an eclectic music taste. If its action you are after then avoid it like the plague. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on June 08, 2011, 01:52:48 PM Don't waste another second. Get the Shield watched!!!! Makes the wire look like the teletubbies.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: moonandback on June 08, 2011, 04:12:41 PM I love treme Nakor, but i like that type of music (trad jazz etc) some very good acting too more character driven rather than action driven.
i forgot i would strongly recommend Generation Kill too very very good HBO show about the iraq war and i don't like war films as a rule. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on June 08, 2011, 07:36:50 PM yeah, generation kill is amazing
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on June 09, 2011, 01:37:44 AM Just finishing up Treme and it is excellent. I enjoyed the first couple of series of The Shield but to compare it to The Wire is a bit like comparing a Jeffrey Archer novel to Catcher in the Rye. Something worth a look if you have never seen it is Our Friends in the North. Quite old but imo one of the best dramas ever made by the BBC. My next project is Heimat....subtitles will be a bit of work but I am hoping it is going to worth the effort. Anyone seen it?
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on June 09, 2011, 07:42:21 PM anyone watching shadow line? 7 part series on bbc2, on tonight, all old ones on the iplayer and also eztv.
it's a bit patchy, some of the dialogue is lolterribad and the bbc seem to have a max budget of £500 per car even tho it's a show about big time drug dealers and tbh it's not up there with the best american stuff BUT there's a mysterious character called gatehouse who is fantastic and he was in a scene last week that was breathtaking and now we're getting towards the end it's becoming pretty fking excellent. well worth a watch imo Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on June 09, 2011, 10:18:47 PM anyone watching shadow line? 7 part series on bbc2, on tonight, all old ones on the iplayer and also eztv. it's a bit patchy, some of the dialogue is lolterribad and the bbc seem to have a max budget of £500 per car even tho it's a show about big time drug dealers and tbh it's not up there with the best american stuff BUT there's a mysterious character called gatehouse who is fantastic and he was in a scene last week that was breathtaking and now we're getting towards the end it's becoming pretty fking excellent. well worth a watch imo Yes. I am up to part 5 now and it is good. Generally if you watch shows with Christopher Eccleston in them then they are pretty good. Another US police show that is really good is "The Killing". It is based on the Norwegian show called Forbydllsen, or something like, that which i have not seen but once this series is finished I am going to watch that.

Gatehouse has to be up there with Omar from The Wire as one of the best characters in recent years.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on June 21, 2011, 10:01:43 AM Was a bit dissapointed with the last ep, mainly because I wanted more, which I guess was the point. Series 2 will be awesome.
The show reminds me of Lost, in that they have underplayed the magical side of things in the first series, then teased it at the end. Before you know it it will be Orcs and wizards and stuff, but done in such a way that it creeps up on you and seems plausible, while retaining what is a very good character driven show. The final scene, in that regard, reminded me of when the light went on in the hatch for the final scene in series 1 of Lost.

I felt it was excellent in the first two seasons but started to deteriorate as it went on and got a bit stupid in the end. Still well worth a watch but as you say not a patch on The Wire and I don't think anything ever will be. Entourage is next weekend and only 8 eps long. I've just rewatched it from S1-S7 in preparation and am looking forward to their swansong and how things will pan out with Vince.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on July 11, 2011, 08:36:13 AM Really surprised that the majority seem to like The Wire better than the shield. I have watched every episode of both and have watched The Shield twice through. Both great but for action, comedy and edge of your seat stuff I would take The Shield everytime.

I have watched every episode of both and have watched The Shield twice through. Both great but for action, comedy and edge of your seat stuff I would take The Shield everytime. For me, The Shield's character development is poor compared to The Wire. You get to know the good and the bad characters inside out in The Wire as the bad guys are there for an entire season or more and the storyline is very tight as a result. Whereas with The Shield (I'm up to the end of season 3) there's no real recurring theme with regards to a villain so you only get to know the characters from the police point of view. The storyline is pretty loose as well thus far. I've just woken up so hopefully that sounds better than it reads first time round, but I hope you get my point. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on July 11, 2011, 03:33:36 PM I've got 7 seasons of The Shield to watch at some time soon. I've only ever seen the odd snippet so I'm quite looking forward to it.
Absolutely love The Wire, one of my favourites of all time. The Shield will have to go some way to surpass it but I hope it does.

Season 7 looks good http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2011/06/always-sunny-in-philadelphia-season-7-preview.html This time around we can expect Rob McElhenney, who plays the always overly-confident Mac, to put on 50 pounds for his character. “It’s been disgusting to watch him go through with this adventure,”Charlie Day told Screen Junkies. “We were a little on the fence about it for his own personal health and safety but it has definitely made Mac a lot funnier.” And the show will feature an array of random guest appearances this season. Despite the public quarrel Kings Of Leon had with Glee creator Ryan Murphy, the guys are actually appearing on a Glee-esque episode of Always Sunny this season. “Color me curious,” McElhenney said. ”They’re not huge fans of ‘Glee’, but they’re huge fans of ‘Sunny’.” And in standard Charlie fashion, Day sarcastically hinted at another guest appearance. “Pretty famous guy,” Day said.“Rhymes with ‘Osama’." Viewers can also expect a bigger role from Charlie’s romantic obsession, the waitress, this season. Some episode themes we can expect this season: the gang goes to the Jersey shore, Frank proposes to a prostitute Pretty Woman-style and to keep up with the ongoing craze, there will be an episode about child beauty pagean Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on July 12, 2011, 09:05:06 AM Some episode themes we can expect this season: the gang goes to the Jersey shore, Frank proposes to a prostitute Pretty Woman-style and to keep up with the ongoing craze, there will be an episode about child beauty pageant [/i] Sounds abso amazing.

Its pretty good! Falling Skies tells the story of the aftermath of an alien invasion that not only neutralizes the world's power grid and technology, but also destroys the combined militaries of all the world's countries in a short amount of time. It is alluded that over 90% of the human population is killed within a few days. The story picks up six months after the invasion, and follows a group of survivors who must band together in order to fight back. 6 episodes so far, am quite enjoying it. Ep 6 Spoiler * lol it was obvious there was something shady about that guy but what a dickhead Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on July 18, 2011, 02:32:39 PM Is everyone watching this new Spielberg show Falling Skies?

Happy to start most others off from the start but the one I was wanting to watch starts on S7 or something. Will sort it obviously but could do with having them on the tele for ease.
Also a bit annoyed that after a great start on Atlantic, things seem to have slowed right down, there's very little on there for me at the moment, I expected more.

It's not that I don't like it. It's just not got as much edge of your seat stuff as I'd have liked. Generally speaking I love these sort of alien invasion type programs. It's a shame because I think falling skies could've been so much better. I think they've missed out on the best bit by starting it 6 months after the aliens landed and killed everyone. Seeing 90% of the population wiped out on screen would've been pretty cool. Now all they do is go around trying to save a few kids. Far more fun trying to save an entire country and getting wiped out in the process. I'll check out dark skies asap.

I've watched quite a bit of it and thought it was decent, and I abso love The US Office, prob worth a watch if you got nowt else but I wasn't that fussed on it. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on August 15, 2011, 05:14:10 PM Cheers for the input. Philly is by far my fav anyways.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on August 15, 2011, 05:16:17 PM It actually amazes me that Philly has not made it onto UK screens, it is clearly the best US comedy out there at the moment and in my opinion, the sort of thing that Brits would like more than yanks.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: cdw1111 on August 15, 2011, 05:21:41 PM Yeah I like Sunny in Philly just prefer Parks,Office and even The League ahead of it,probably just an age difference thing.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on August 15, 2011, 05:48:48 PM It actually amazes me that Philly has not made it onto UK screens, it is clearly the best US comedy out there at the moment and in my opinion, the sort of thing that Brits would like more than yanks. Been mentioned itt before, I was told it's because very early on they sold the UK rights to comedy central and they don't want to show it for some reason.

I think you're right and it wasn't RJ that Jane ironed out at the end of last season though.....

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing any of it yet so may d/l later and get on it. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on September 23, 2011, 03:51:20 PM The main character is Patrick Jane who works as a consultant for the police department in California. He used to work as a psychic on television which ironically he has no belief in whatsoever and denounces anyone who claims to have psychic powers from the off.
Each episode involves a case which he helps solve using his exceptional powers of observation. The backstory is of his crusade to catch Red John a serial killer who killed his wife and daughter after he profiled the guy for the police and it was made known on tv he had done so. The killing was a revenge for him doing this by Red John. He then quit the tv game and joined up with the police to try and get justice. Great show albeit the standard procedural where they get the killer of the episode crime but continue to be eluded by Red John. Jane is really funny albeit unintentionally and the characters all work pretty well together imo.

Kaley Cuoco imo That's the only thing I enjoyed about it I think :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: the sicilian on September 29, 2011, 11:53:01 AM dunno if its relevant to this thread but have watched the first couple of episodes of the new two and a half men which are a lot better than i thought..but its still not the same without old Tiger Blood...

It is hard to decide what the worst thing about this show is. The premise, script and casting are all dreadful but the acting, which wouldn't be out of place in " The Woodentops", wins by a whisker. If anyone watches any of this and feels the need to find a quality drama show then checkout " Men of a certain age" which has become one of my favourite programmes of all time.

Think it's new. Can't find Ep2 anywhere so unless I'm not looking in the right place it must be. Definite potential but I can't quite figure out where it's going yet. Will be watching Ep2 to hopefully find out. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on October 17, 2011, 01:21:49 PM Last two eps of Terra Nova have been pretty shabs imo.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Sark79 on October 17, 2011, 07:40:38 PM I have been watching Homeland on Project Free TV.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on October 19, 2011, 02:21:50 AM The Shield - I bought the entire series on boxset and after the first episode I thought it was going to be one of the top ten things I had ever watched and, in parts, it is really good but I stalled and haven't gone back to it. Currently about half way through series 4 and I will watch it all but it is just below HBO/AMC type shows for me. That said the episode with the kidnapp of the young girl where the storyline revolves around a facial tattoo is probably amongst the best hours, most chilling hours of television I have ever watched. Only a couple of episodes of the The Wire and Sopranos can really compete with that and the ending of first episode.
Today i had a long-ish journey and knew I would be spending a fair bit of time on trains etc so i thought I would treat myself to the boxset of the 2nd series of Breaking Bad but HMV didn't have it so I decided to take a risk (not that HBO series are ever a massive risk....have I mentioned I am a bit of a HBO fan??) on Carnivale which has been on my list for a while. Got through 5 hours already and really enjoying it. Beautifully shot. I already know I will be buying Series 2. Has anyone seen Heimat? It is a German drama series that was apparently on BBC years ago. Subtitled but everything I have read about it puts it up amongst the greats of all time. I have heard comparisons made with Our Friends in the North which I still think is a truly stunning piece of work that will probabbly and, sadly, never be matched by the BBC. Would love views on Heimat if anyone saw it. I really love great drama and there aren't that many that are considered 'greats' that i haven't seen but the flip side is it is fairly expensive. Worth the investment? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on October 19, 2011, 10:07:35 AM The Shield is abso immense and pisses on the wire imo. Loved it so much.

Have you watched it all? Slow I would agree with but predictable....really? I don't think it is fair to compare the two though. The Shield is an action cop show. A very good one but a cop show nonetheless. The Wire is like a great novel. Despite being set in 21st century Baltimore it could be set anytime in history. It is about great characters, human flaws, redemption, how repeated generations make the same mistakes as their ancestors. Is there really a moment as heartbreaking in The Shield as the moment in the Wire when Duqan borrows the money from Prez udner false pretences and you know he is never going to see him again? The social commentary in The Wire is as relevant as anything I have seen recently and is on a par with Ken Loach films. Look at what series five says about the corruption in our press long before Hackgate. Vic Mackey is a great character. Certainly in the top ten TV characters since 2000 but these two are in the top five of all time imo and this scene is just amazing, it is timeless and will look as good in fifty years as it does now. It also addresses you poorly filmed point i think: YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20G17K_0ghU Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on October 19, 2011, 03:01:56 PM Every single episode of both, (The Shield twice).
Without putting spoilers for those who haven't watched it, last ep of season 7, The Shield, heartbreaking and breath taking! It probably boils down to the fact i don't like McNulty, Omar was my fav charachter by a long shot. Genuinely did find it predictable, but that is probably a testament to how many shows and films i watch, the missus hates it as i pick up on things that seem to be out of place and predict what will happen. If its charachter pieces you are after watch Boardwalk Empire. Love that and this next season is going to make big waves imo.

Definitely very good. I will have to fnish The Shield but I find it very difficult after 4 series to see how it can be better than the best TV show ever although I am not disputing that The Shield is very good but it is like comparing Tolstoy with Jackie Collins.

Apart from both being police dramas they're worlds apart for quality (imo). I'll give the Shield props as the first 2 seasons were incred, from there it went a bit downhill imo but that didn't stop me cruising through all 7 seasons and enjoying it.

As a Spielberg production it ain't half lacking big set production and feels quite poor. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on October 26, 2011, 02:14:38 PM The end bit of Entourage where everyone is saying "ooo, did you see the end bit after the credits". Is that the bit with Ari and Mrs Ari in Italy when he gets the phone call or have I missed it too? Just checking to see if I need to see it again :D

Thinking about starting it but any "it's great" or "don't waste your time" would be appreciated Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on October 26, 2011, 02:37:16 PM Oz was great - pretty brutal in places.
Schillinger is one of the all-time great nasty pieces of work in drama. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Hairydude on October 26, 2011, 02:48:40 PM whats OZ?
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Josedinho on October 26, 2011, 03:39:36 PM Prison drama late 90's early 00's. I'd heard good things.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: the sicilian on October 26, 2011, 03:53:17 PM whats OZ? ive downloaded and skimmed..looks good and brutal wiiiiiii Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 26, 2011, 04:02:32 PM Oz is sick!!!
HBO's first ensemble cast drama and a great 6 seasons it was too. Very brutal as has been said but some great characters and seriously good acting. You'll see lots of characters that you'll recognise from other shows too which is quite strange :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: HOLDorFOLD on October 27, 2011, 08:36:19 AM Oz was great - pretty brutal in places.

I've got the box set .... def due a re-watch Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on October 27, 2011, 06:44:02 PM Yep Oz is very good. Massively underrated too.

That's the lot for download if you don't want to shell out for it, might be worth selecting to download a season at a time though to be safe. I'm sure if you do the lot in one hit your social life is going to take some hit because you won't want to stop watching :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on October 28, 2011, 09:06:49 AM Just watched Frozen Planet yesterday. Incred stuff! Also thought this week's Fresh Meat was the best of the lot so far.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: sweet potata! on November 02, 2011, 12:29:22 AM I reckon the most recent Idiot Abroad was the best yet yeah it was quality, nevermind refusing to bungee jump or whatever how the fook did he turn down a cuddle with that hippy chick!?!

Yeah it's not meant to be funny per se although there are some comical moments in the show throughout. It's a great show and definitely one of the best series in recent years for sure.

I actually feared that it would get stale, but I would like to see a third series, Karl is coming across as incredibly likable.

Yep, I reckon I would have got thrown out of that thing. He had some bottle to do the wing walk, reckon thy must have paid him. Thought the Glee bit was the funniest. I think I would have took the the other option he had than the wing walk, I felt queasy just looking at it. The Glee thing, I'm mortified even thinking about having to do that!

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvQ_qJYZ-7A hmmmmm, I will deffo watch it because it has Jack Bauer in it, but if it was some random I would have said it looks like a Lost (the hatch/numbers bit) and FlashForward mix. Prediction - Jack nails the sexy social worker and ends up getting her killed. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on November 03, 2011, 09:16:58 AM Was keen until they said it was made by the same people as Heroes but I will still watch it, looks good.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on November 03, 2011, 11:00:34 AM I'm a bit hmmm about it too. will watch but based on that don't expect much, seems to be ripping off way too many things while having too thin a story to last a whole series
the good thing is my low expectation will mean I'll enjoy it more when it turns out to be good Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on November 04, 2011, 02:43:45 AM Just watched s02ep12 of Breaking Bad where he watches the bird od, crazy ep, good show.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Josedinho on November 07, 2011, 12:26:14 PM Did you watch Jury back in 2002? I never caught it. Sounds alright. Reckon it will make a difference that I missed the first season. Sounds like it is about the same case.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: scotty2hatty on November 08, 2011, 03:18:47 PM Thoughts on The Walking Dead season 2? I'm onto episode 3 but can't decide if I'm liking it or not. Weird.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: KarmaDope on November 08, 2011, 03:23:52 PM Thoughts on The Walking Dead season 2? I'm onto episode 3 but can't decide if I'm liking it or not. Weird. I've gone off it. I have a funny feeling this is because it worked really well as a 6 episode drama, but this season is 13 episodes and it just seems so drawn out to me, it's ridiculous. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on November 08, 2011, 03:25:05 PM Thoughts on The Walking Dead season 2? I'm onto episode 3 but can't decide if I'm liking it or not. Weird. First ep incred, second ep good with a decent ending, 3rd ep meh, but i think it is really going to pick up now. (think/hope) Always Sunny shush and chardeemacdennis eps were also incred. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Josedinho on November 08, 2011, 03:43:11 PM Still loving it. Ep1 was amazing. Bit slower since then but I kinda like that.
So glad it's not a rush to rid the world of Zombies. Seems a bit more realistic (as realistic as zombies can be....) that it's little things that can be problems. Is it bad that in the episode with Shane and Otis I was thinking that Shane should have done what he did very early on? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TheChipPrince on November 08, 2011, 03:46:37 PM Very good so far I think, pleased.
Terra Nova was a better ep last night I thought. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: scotty2hatty on November 08, 2011, 04:31:25 PM Is it bad that in the episode with Shane and Otis I was thinking that Shane should have done what he did very early on? What he do early on? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on November 08, 2011, 04:44:12 PM Loving Walking Dead, slower but I think that is on purpose, it is becoming much more character driven.
Last ep was great and agree Shane should have done what he did much earlier. Always Sunny is pure quality, thought they were finished after the last series but its been consistently very good. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TheChipPrince on November 08, 2011, 04:49:27 PM Is it bad that in the episode with Shane and Otis I was thinking that Shane should have done what he did very early on? What he do early on?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Josedinho on November 08, 2011, 08:41:56 PM There was time pressure though. I know it's for dramatic effect but any later and the op would have been attempted without the stuff he went to get. Also ended up smashing his ankle/leg and wasn't guaranteed to make it out even after he did it.
I'd have considered it as soon as they looked trapped in that medical cabin. Use the flares to get in. Otis to get out. I'd have been back well early.

Also just got hold of Lost. Is that any good?

Warrick Davis is doing a really good turn as a little Dave Brent. This is what I dont like about it, hes ripping Brent so hard, its too similar it feels as if I've seen it all before with this type of character, still very watchable for Gervais Merchant and the Cameos. I've only seen the 1st one so far so I'll see how it develops. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on November 24, 2011, 11:30:51 PM Also just got hold of Lost.

Repeat for seven seasons and you have the best comedy on tv right now. Shows the downside of briefly catching part of an episode interspersed with ads every 5 minutes. In the ep. I caught they (5 etc) were in a house looking for something before owners came back (with hilarious consequences) Couldn't work out if it was a cop/ spy comedy :) Might look into after I've ploughed through Columbo. Just one more thing? Is Always Sunny shown on UK TV? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on December 05, 2011, 07:39:06 PM Is Always Sunny shown on UK TV? nah. don't think it's ever been aired outside the us you should really watch from the start as it's very much character led, you need to get to know them Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 05, 2011, 11:22:34 PM is Sunny just called Sunny? I cant' seem to find it on imdb It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Saw 1/2 an episode on tv in Vegas, must admit couldn't make out what it was about (too many ads in USA tbf). Cliffs? Only seen S1 E1 atm, but 3 guys own a bar (with a sister that works there) and it's about them. They turned it into a gay bar in this episode and it's about the antics of the crazy bunch. Very watchable, looking forward to seeing more. It's a comedy, prob a bit like Friends but as girly. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on December 05, 2011, 11:44:36 PM lol, it's really not like friends
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on December 05, 2011, 11:56:38 PM I used to be a massive Friends fanboy but Sunny>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Friends, and they aren't really anything alike.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 06, 2011, 12:00:17 AM Only alike in the fact that it's about a group of friends. Seemed like it from the first episode anyway
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on December 06, 2011, 12:34:29 AM Personally I really enjoyed the show although I can understand plenty not liking it much at all. Brag definitely below average. Thoughts on Katey Sagal ? She'll always me Peggy Bundy to me. Can't get past that. You ever see 8 simple rules ? Had here and Kaley Cuoco in ;kev; I miss that program Tbf I'd watch any ol' shit if she was in it, but yeah it was decent. Downloading now.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TommyD on December 09, 2011, 12:19:47 AM Fallen a bit in love with The Cafe. Obviously has heavy influence from Royle Family and Early Doors but it's a really gentle character comedy with marvelous intelligent writing.

Yep yep, will I'm laughing here thinking about it, so yea it was good.

Yep yep, will I'm laughing here thinking about it, so yea it was good. Makes me wonder if it was 8 years in the making, or just a fluke joke from this series Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: paulhouk03 on December 13, 2011, 10:18:29 PM can u find the clip on you tube?
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 13, 2011, 10:20:30 PM can u find the clip on you tube? doubtful, its a new ep and it was a subtle joke Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 13, 2011, 10:25:20 PM Actually it is on YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvYVowSR5Js Havent embedded as the title is a bit of a spoiler - this isnt that funny if you are not familiar with the show Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on December 14, 2011, 12:01:48 AM I'd be pretty suprised if they had this in waiting for 8 years, was com though.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: paulhouk03 on December 15, 2011, 07:27:49 PM I have the wire on dvd

HBO program about AIDS with Al Pacino, Merryl Streep and some other famous people, thought it could be really good but the first episode was proper wierd, it's a 6 part drama, don't know why as the 1st part was pretty shit but will give the 2nd one a go, it's on Atlantic btw.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: ChipRich on December 16, 2011, 03:29:18 AM Anyone else think the Ronald MacDonald joke in Philly last week was genius? fkin brilliant, but had spoilers off Jones and BH as they'd already watched it. spoilt it a bit, but stil rofl. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 16, 2011, 01:55:36 PM Superb final episode of Philly (I presume it was the last of the series) - probably been the best series so far.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on December 19, 2011, 09:13:27 PM Taco gets funnier and funnier every week. he may now be my fave comedy character ever Agree, so so com. The "What? I assumed it wasn't loaded" line had me in bits. One of the previous eps when he was taking the piss out of facebook was abs golden, been an abs hero this season. This season of The League has been the best by a mile. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 22, 2011, 12:22:08 PM Not sure if it's been mentioned already but I'm so loving Modern Family at the moment.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 23, 2011, 11:45:02 PM I think xmas day I will mostly be watching this season of the League back to back :)
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on January 04, 2012, 10:11:46 AM Been smashing series lately. Mac on motorbike in ThunderGun episode was one of the funniest things i have seen in 2011. I was crying. Only a few more eps of season 3 of the league left, i know people like Taco but Ruxin is by far the best charachter imo. Guy has me in stitches.

No m8 I just get them as they air in the US, I haven't got the patience to wait for that :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Solaris on January 10, 2012, 11:01:14 PM I hate TV with a passion. Or at least I hate 99% of the tripe that is shown on British TV and much prefer the American stuff that is being made (24, Arrested Development, Soprano's, The Wire, The Shield etc etc). Could any of you fine gentleman recommend some other stuff for me to watch.
Also is Breaking Bad any good? Heard decent things about it but I'm super lazy and would ideally like to know it's worth the time and effort before I start watching it. Cheers.

Breaking Bad is awesome and Boardwalk is another i'm sure you would like given that list Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on January 10, 2012, 11:07:06 PM you obv haven't read this thread if you're asking about breaking bad (don't blame you, it is 69 pages). everyone loves it, it's amazingly good, watch it but make sure you've got about a week with nothing to do cos it's one of those ones where you'll just want to watch the lot straight through
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on January 10, 2012, 11:09:12 PM Deadwood is a good recommendation on previous page. Great stuff. One I like that doesn't get that much love is Six Feet Under.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Solaris on January 10, 2012, 11:10:38 PM Right, cheers guys. Will start with Breaking Bad and move onto Deadwood. Got plenty of time on my hands as I'm waiting to start my new job so I need stuff to watch! Thoroughly bored atm.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on January 10, 2012, 11:16:56 PM think six feet under got some love earlier in the thread. I love it, was the best thing on tv when it first aired and my introduction to the really good hbo programmes
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on January 11, 2012, 12:40:14 AM Right, cheers guys. Will start with Breaking Bad and move onto Deadwood. Got plenty of time on my hands as I'm waiting to start my new job so I need stuff to watch! Thoroughly bored atm. I'm working atm but I've got a 1.5tb portable with TV shows on and I'll list them when I'm back over there and then you can go through IMDB to see what ones you fancy. Six Feet Under I watched earlier this year, great show and I think I went through it in about 3 weeks :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Solaris on January 11, 2012, 01:21:02 AM Right, cheers guys.

Wasn't there supposed to be two feature lengths that were going to tie it all up that never got made. Shame Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on January 11, 2012, 01:47:20 PM Yeah they intended to make two 2 hour TV movies to close it out but never got them done. He's still maintaining as of last year that he hopes to get to doing them. McShane has been saying for years it's done though so I doubt it.
I'll take 3 seasons of great TV over an ending which is lacking in closure every time #glasshalffull :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Solaris on January 11, 2012, 09:46:28 PM Forgot to say cheers for posting them up Marky. Much appreciated.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on January 12, 2012, 02:16:42 AM No worries, I finish work in about an hour and I'll do the rest then.

Maybe we could get someone in their early twenties to d/l it and see what they think as a scientific experiment?

I just thing the story is pretty weak and although there are the odd com moments I just don't think it's that good. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on February 13, 2012, 01:15:50 PM ah ok. don't think the last samauri is porn though

Really enjoyed the final episode. How they survived the end was predictable enough but the return of Danny was a welcome surprise. And they finished with the original music. Brilliant way to bow out :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on February 20, 2012, 03:49:57 PM Just discovered Louie, which is basically a Curb Your Enthusiasm rip off - but it is a rip off done by Louis C.K. who is one of the best stand-ups in the world. I'm four episodes in and it is very very good so far.

I was worried that I was starting to build it up too big in my mind but I thought it was decent. Definitely a lot of potential although the payouts for the Pick 6 seemed pretty weird/off as did some characters winning it in the first episode!!

Good thread on 2+2 in OOTV where a guy called "youtalkfunny" explains the terminology of the show(and what the mumbling trainer is saying).I enjoyed the episode but was a bit lost as I have little knowledge of the horseracing world.After reading the breakdown of the episode I watched it again and enjoyed it more.The racing scenes were pretty spectacular and stylish.I'am looking forward to the rest of the show,HBO have already green lit a second series.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: cdw1111 on February 22, 2012, 11:42:51 AM post 148 for the episode breakdown.

Possibly second only to The Wire in my books now although some of the football scenes are a bit corny. S5 dowloading as we speak. Jesse in Series 4 is incred!!!!

Anyone watched this Alcatraz thing? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on March 17, 2012, 12:10:34 PM I've not watched this Walking Dead at all so will have to dl it and watch at a later date.
I've not watched any of Alcatraz, mate of mine has and doesn't rate it but I'll still watch it at some point as it's got Hugo in and JJ Abrams is a boss!! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on March 17, 2012, 12:29:20 PM Gave up on Alcatraz after first episode, ditto for Eastbound and down series 3. For a comedy series someone on this thread previously recommended Modern Family and I would definitely urge you all to give it a try.
Anyone needing a good quality drama to watch should go for Rome - one of my all time favourite shows.

The second season closer was the show’s highest-rated episode ever (and AMC’s most-watched episode of regular series television ever). A full 6 million of those viewers were among adults 18-49, too, which is quite a trick to pull off. Walking Dead ranks as the top-rated show in cable history among the adult demo. deece.

Part Lost, part Prison Break I am enjoying it Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on March 20, 2012, 11:33:23 AM Don't get too attached to Alcatraz as it is rumoured to be cancelled. I gave up after the first episode, why couldn't it just have just been about normal prisoners and prison life instead of people back from the dead?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Josedinho on March 22, 2012, 10:29:34 PM Finished FNL. Bit gutted at how it ends for Riggins, think he could have had and deserved a better end.
If anyone hasn't watched it my advice would be to watch season 1. Unfortunately you probably can't end there so if you absolutely have to watch to the end of season 3 and then assume everything goes right from there. 2's a bit messy but with excuses, 4 and 5 aren't bad I just didn't like the way things panned out.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on April 10, 2012, 03:39:16 AM I was exactly the same about Deadwood but it was the one show that persuaded me that I didn't have to like or be interested in the subject matter to love a good drama. if it wasn't for Deadwood I would never have bothered with Game of Thrones for example. Only bad thing about Deadwood is the fact is finished after 3 series.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on April 10, 2012, 02:48:52 PM Before starting Deadwood I watched all 6 eps of On Freddie Roach, well worth watching, really liked it.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: corkeye on April 10, 2012, 07:09:08 PM Breaking bad. Best thing on t'elleh
Havent read the other pages on this thread, so sorry if its already been discussed in detail The thing about it, is it was poorly marketted in the UK, in fact no one knew about it, I believe the first series was screened on 5 US and got poor ratings. Had it been hyped/marketted like Dexter, it would have been much more popular (its huge in the US) I've just completed season 4, i ended up having to buy season 3 and 4 from Amazon germany as you still cant get them in UK (well you couldnt last time i checked). Absolutely brilliant series, full of twists and turns, great plot and concept. FWIW dexter is also v good but I'm not enjoying it as much as B Bad Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: gatso on April 10, 2012, 07:15:48 PM oh did i just see the pilot then? Jan was the pilot, last week it started properly and tonight is the next ep just watched the pilot. pretty glad they've not made 3 seasons of this or I'd probably have to write off the next week watching back to back, as it is I'll probs watch the next 3 eps sometime tonight Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on April 10, 2012, 09:27:18 PM oh did i just see the pilot then?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on April 13, 2012, 02:22:10 PM Just the one episode of Game of Thrones S1 left to watch.
I'm wondering how many might survive as far as season2. Certainly a few surprises in there when you see who gets bumped. After ep4 or 5 I'd never have guessed which characters weren't going to survive to the end. That blonde thing who eats horse hearts is fit as fuck btw.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on June 01, 2012, 01:08:38 PM I know i would love madmen, just never given it a chance! Might be something to sink my teeth into over the bank hols. Love most of the stuff on HBO.

Mad Men this series has been simply incred and this week's one was, as you said, among the best TV ever. Once this series has finished I'm quite looking forward to watching them all again from the beginning as that should be so rewarding, considering the show revolves entirely around character development. Also, a shout for Veep (don't know if this has started on Sky Atlantic yet) - essentially a US-version of The Thick Of It but no less great for that. Stars her out of Seinfeld (who I need to put on Amatay's older women thread) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Acidmouse on June 01, 2012, 01:50:12 PM anyone watch revenge? yeah watched 1st and downloaded the other 19 eps watched about 6 last night very good :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on June 02, 2012, 01:01:13 AM Sigh that tv-links.eu doesn't really work anymore.

Easy viewing though and no need to worry about watching them in order as they're all pretty much the same.

Seen them all, only one episode of NCIS LA but it was brilliant. Watched first series of Teen Wolf and White Collar and gave up. Teen Wolf was particularly dire. 2 seasons of Pretty Little Liars and gave up, decent show but more aimed at a teenage girl sort of audience. Still enjoy the odd episode of Leverage. Looking forward to binging NCIS LA in full in July and Falling Skies is amazing.

Anyway, in S2, the theme song is sung by different artists every program but there was an other program i watched in the last year or so where they did this with different artists doing the intro song - anyone know which programs have done this?
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on July 30, 2012, 11:20:46 PM Never seen it but google suggests it may be " one tree hill"?
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on July 30, 2012, 11:26:56 PM Wasn't that one, cheers though
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on July 30, 2012, 11:40:36 PM Weeds is really good and I think the first 3/4 seasons are some great viewing. After that it started to lose it's way a bit for me, I still watch it as I want to know how it ends.

Thanks Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on August 01, 2012, 11:18:45 PM Don't fancy trawling through 90 pages of discussion, however worthwhile a pursuit I am sure it would be.
Probably my favourite programme of all time is The Shield. Loved it start to finish. May I assume it's been mentioned already? I have many odd and obscure TV loves (Snog, Marry Avoid anyone?) But this one is cool and acceptable. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on August 02, 2012, 02:13:44 AM Never got round to watching The Shield, just watched eps 1, found myself I new tv prog :)

I felt it kind of lost it's way though and some of the stuff that they ran with was just ridic. I still finished it obv and do recommend it to others too.....

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on August 02, 2012, 11:59:20 AM Not really. It isn't topical and it is more serious drama. I am watching it and it is okay. I find some of the dialogue a bit overly sentimental and obvious but think I will watch it all for sure.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on August 02, 2012, 01:05:24 PM Loved DTDD. Have the entire collection.

Thought this season of Breaking bad had been pretty poor compared to the previous seasons but the last two eps were more like it.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on August 22, 2012, 10:20:30 PM Upto the final season of The Shield, not as good as The Wire but very deece. Final few episodes are epic.

Dragons' Den just started again - you know, "Hello, Dragons. I'd like £200,000 for 5% of the equity in my company, A. P. Yarist Pedestrian Mobility Solutions, which specialises in roller skates for disabled bumblebees..." Bit like the staking thread...(oh no he didn't!) They seem to have tinkered with the theme tune. Whilst broadly the same, despite beefing up the "THIS IS THE SCARIEST PLACE IN THE WORLD AND THESE EVIL, SUPER-POWERFUL WARMONGERING INVESTORS WILL SAVAGE YOUR IDEAS AND URINATE ON YOUR CORPSE" imagery, they've softened the theme tune so that it sounds like I've put it on setting 26 on my old New Kids on the Block Casio keyboard. Everything else is the same. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on September 09, 2012, 09:56:13 PM How did the first girl get the investment?

I think you can safely skip season 6. In fact, if you were struggling with season 5 then I highly suggest you do so. Season 6 isn't the best. The cliff hanger is what makes it and the "previously on dexter" part of the premiere will bring you up to speed.

Also... Dexter. Awesome premiere. Have been waiting for that last scene for such a long time. Just about to watch this now. Can't wait!!!! Cheers mate, Ill do that. bought the box set and have done series 1-4 so far. Really enjoyed everything in these 4 series (except the last scene in season 4). One season 5 now and to be honest have been close to giving up on it a couple of times. Please tell me that season 6 is worth struggling through season 5 to get to..... I can't remember ever not liking Dexter but would definitely recommend to keep watching. I think you can safely skip season 6. In fact, if you were struggling with season 5 then I highly suggest you do so. Season 6 isn't the best. The cliff hanger is what makes it and the "previously on dexter" part of the premiere will bring you up to speed.

Watched the 1st few episodes but didn't keep up with it, might go back to watching it. ... <3 Fringe Walter is such a hero! absolutely - and you have to keep watching it otherwise you won't find out what the bigger picture is.

Will check out Boss 1st then go back to Fringe, that is after rewatching all of The League since it's abs epic. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on October 02, 2012, 03:00:45 PM lol true
Weeds was good, although it did go downhill. S1-3 were great, then it started to decline. We're on 7 atm, and it's only because we've watched them all we're carrying on.

We're on 7 atm, and it's only because we've watched them all we're carrying on. Exactly this, started out and I thought what a great show. Fast forward to season 4 where I am just thinking they will tie it up at the end of the current season. Oh no they flog it to death running another 4 seasons, which are average with some comical moments and not much more.

I lold Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on October 05, 2012, 05:46:03 PM Red Dwarf was good when it was mainly a standard British sitcom that just happened to be in space, it went downhill when the sci fi shit really took over.
That said, it wasn't the worst episode last nigh. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on October 05, 2012, 11:00:56 PM First half of Red Dwarf was horrific, but it picked up later on (though still pretty meh)
Craig Charles should watch some of the old ones, then he might remember who Dave Lister is - he was terrible. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 05, 2012, 11:27:36 PM Melissa George was early 90s Home & Away Barry, I used to watch it when I got home from school :D
She was shacked up with Dieter Brummer (Shane) who has been starring in Underbelly over the last few years. She's obviously done pretty well for herself looking at IMDB and racked up some spells on several shows. I've never been able to get on with Red Dward myself, tried watching it a few times and never really enjoyed it.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 07, 2012, 06:37:12 PM Well 2 outta 3 aint bad :)
I'd rewatch the first half of The Shield happily enough, but not sure about the 2nd which I didn't enjoy as much. Have to say Walton Goggins who played Shane in The Shield, plays a great part in Justified opposite Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on October 07, 2012, 06:42:06 PM Re-watched the Sopranos and the Wire. Both better second time round I thought because you see bits you missed first time.
Haven't had the privilege of Lost yet. Might watch it when I've finished 24. I know I know. WAL etc....

Have to say Walton Goggins who played Shane in The Shield, plays a great part in Justified opposite Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood) Because I was a bit of a super fan, I happen to know that Goggins is a pretty extreme method actor in the Daniel Day-Lewis mould. He wasn't much fun to be around on set for the last few series but great away from it. Michael Chiklis plays a truly incredible part. Second half of the Shield sees Forrest Whittaker playing a role that is parodied in a recurring joke in American Dad. Definitely a show that was received better in the States than here.

Could be because I have seen every episode of Malcolm in the middle and their is a subconscious connection between Walt and Hal, I dunno, but what I do know is Walt tilts me so bad as does Skye and I have found a lot of the episodes predictable. Jessie is a hero and really liked Gus (reminds me of Brother Sharif in the wire) but for me it shouldn't be uttered in the same breathe as proper decent tv dramas like Sopranos, the wire, the shield, Boardwalk and my new favourite Homeland.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 09, 2012, 12:46:45 AM I'm stockpiling the shows that have just come back, so that I can mass watch them once completed.
In the meantime, I've got a few on my hard drive and can't decide which to watch.... NCIS, NCIS LA, Falling Skies, The Closer, Spartacus, FlashForward, Rome and Treme. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on October 09, 2012, 01:19:47 AM I found Treme hard work, dull and lifeless.
Just IMO Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on October 09, 2012, 03:27:44 AM Homeland S02 E02 excellent with a cracking build up to ep3.

Im going to heed your advice boys, Gonna force episode 12 down of season 6, to get background info, then jump into season 7. Sorry for doubting you lol!! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 09, 2012, 07:17:11 PM I found Treme hard work, dull and lifeless.

It certainly isn't fast moving but it is just such an incredible love story for a place in the same way as Simon wrote a love story for Baltimore in The Wire. Just found out they've already signed Treme up for a shortened final season after the 3rd, so I'll wait I think and watch it all in one hit once it's finished next year. Might pile into NCIS, that will give me 10 seasons to keep myself busy with and I can then head onto LA after that.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on October 10, 2012, 12:40:30 PM Boardwalk Empire ep4 much better.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: I KNOW IT on October 11, 2012, 03:22:43 AM Well 2 outta 3 aint bad :) I'd rewatch the first half of The Shield happily enough, but not sure about the 2nd which I didn't enjoy as much. Have to say Walton Goggins who played Shane in The Shield, plays a great part in Justified opposite Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood) Because I was a bit of a super fan, I happen to know that Goggins is a pretty extreme method actor in the Daniel Day-Lewis mould. He wasn't much fun to be around on set for the last few series but great away from it. Michael Chiklis plays a truly incredible part. Second half of the Shield sees Forrest Whittaker playing a role that is parodied in a recurring joke in American Dad. Definitely a show that was received better in the States than here.

Its absolutely brilliant. First half of the 1st season I wasn't sure, but the end of that season was good, season two was awesome and season three has been absolutely insanely good.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on October 19, 2012, 03:54:49 PM Yep me too. In fact whilst I ejoyed it it took me a couple of seasons to really love it but it is worth it in the long run. Still ain't Mad Men or The Wire though.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on October 20, 2012, 02:03:30 AM Sunny was back to it's best, hilarious.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on October 20, 2012, 07:53:02 AM Sunny was brilliant, though pretty much only good if you have seen the Gas Crisis episode, which everyone should, because it was possibly the best ep ever.

Title: ! Post by: Marky147 on October 25, 2012, 12:31:15 AM I've got loads running atm and I'm not watching any of them. I've just finished Rescue Me, which was really good and I'm now watching Criminal Minds.
Blue Bloods Burn Notice Dexter Fringe Homeland IASIP Nikita SOA The Good Wife The League The Mentalist The Office The Vampire Diaries Should save me from too much Xmas television and I can just plot myself up out of the way in the office. Title: Re: ! Post by: mondatoo on October 25, 2012, 12:37:17 AM Homeland has also been incred, but I expected it to be whereas SOA has been suprisingly superb.
Never watched : Blue Bloods Burn Notice Nikita The Good Wife The Vampire Diaries Don't like Vampire type programs so wouldn't fancy the last one. I've got back to watching Fringe, Walter is hilarious but I'm not sure how keen I am on it yet, heads exploding etc and crazy mind boggling Science isn't really my thing, will stick with it for a bit though. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AceHighSuited on October 25, 2012, 12:56:47 AM What is The League? Any good?
I watch pretty much any good series. Toptops for me: Breaking Bad Sopranos Criminal Minds (Prefer the earlier stuff with Guideon) 24 Homeland Burn Notice The Wire Really big on crime/politics/espionage/spy shit. So if anyone has any good recs get them up and I can start downloading. My other half is into all that vampire pish, think I'm gonna buy her a laptop of her own so she can download it as I'm sick of having it on mine. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AceHighSuited on October 25, 2012, 01:01:25 AM Arrow, based on DC's Green Arrow, has just started on Sky 1 and it actually looks pretty good.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 25, 2012, 01:18:17 AM They have already signed Homeland up for a 3rd season and I really liked the first season of that too.
Blue Bloods is just good, but Bridget Moynahan is incred (http://www.hotcelebritiesonline.com/gallery/bridget-moynahan/bridget-moynahan-26.jpg) Burn Notice is good too, but it's gone on a bit long now and I'm kind of just watching it to see how it ends. Bruce Campbell is com and Gabrielle Anwar is ridic (http://supportyourlocalgunfighter.com/wp-content/uploads/Gabrielle-Anwar-Hot.jpg) Nikita is pretty good, Birkhoff is funny and Maggie Q is nails :D (http://s.libertaddigital.com/fotos/galerias/heroinas-sexy-videojuegos/10-maggie-q.jpg) Good Wife is a really good series based around a law firm and the main star is Julianna Margulies. Used to be in ER, also was involved in a love triangle with Tony and Chris Motisanti in the Sopranos. (http://www.leadoffsports.com/images/girls/julianna-margulies/julianna-margulies-2.jpg) Vampire Diaries is prob one of my favourite shows, even though it's all pretty cheesy and shallow :D Very easy viewing.... (http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/7900000/Nina-Dobrev-wallpaper-nina-dobrev-7941312-1024-768.jpg) (http://telepics.net/uploads/pictures/big_images/Candice_Accola.jpg) (http://theceleb.comule.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Kat-Graham-Hot.jpg) They're all decent viewing too obviously, but this obviously is a built in bonus :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 25, 2012, 01:23:01 AM What is The League?

My other half is into all that vampire pish, think I'm gonna buy her a laptop of her own so she can download it as I'm sick of having it on mine. I've just about finished the 1st season of Criminal Minds, I only started watching it last week though and agree on Gideon 100%, was a bit disappointed to see he leaves after 3 seasons though. I've not watched it yet, but my old man loves NCIS and that is currently in it's 10th season. The Mentalist is one of my favourite shows, Simon Baker plays a really great role as the main character in that. Mentalist: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1196946/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1196946/) NCIS: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364845/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364845/) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AceHighSuited on October 25, 2012, 01:38:33 AM NCIS is reasonable. Downside though to NCIS and Criminal Minds is its a new theme every week. I quite like something that drags out keeps me enthralled and I can watch loads on one day. I like a good plot.
Watching Hunted from the BBC which isn't too bad. Others well worth watching Brotherhood - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457229/ - def one of my favourites. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on October 25, 2012, 01:58:11 AM I thought The Mentalist was shite, same thing every episode for one and a half seasons was enough for me.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 25, 2012, 02:04:57 AM I've not started it yet, but will probably get around to it at some point and there is also NCIS LA too.
The Mentalist runs on a new story with every episode, but Patrick Jane the main character has a backstory and which develops through the season and then you get swerve balled at the end. Brotherhood is great, I caught an Episode just before/after it had ended and once download I finished it in a week. Some great characters and that Michael Caffee is some boy :D I'd say House would be one to watch and one of my favourites. Not in the makeup of any listed by yourself, but a great show and Hugh Laurie is an absolute boss. Lie To Me is another show I really enjoyed, with Tim Roth in the lead role and a great character he plays too. Surprised that they cancelled it after 3 seasons, as it was definitely one they could have continued with and they never resolved the 'situation' between he and his business partner.... Justified is really good, Timothy Olyphant plays a Deputy US Marshal and Shane from the Shield plays the local criminal. Life with Damian Lewis was a good show for the 2 seasons it lasted, Sarah Shahi is his partner to balance things up if you're averse to looking at gingers for too long. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on October 25, 2012, 02:17:01 AM You watch Touch ? That's deece.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 25, 2012, 02:18:11 AM I thought The Mentalist was shite, same thing every episode for one and a half seasons was enough for me. A lot of these shows are the same kind of scenario playing out each episode, but with different characters. The back story is interesting, I think that Simon Baker plays a great part and they gotta catch Red John sometime :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 25, 2012, 02:18:58 AM You watch Touch ?

I download using Piratebay and uTorrent and then move the files into my iTunes via Playable PRO. I'm not sure if that is the best way, but it does the trick and is simple enough to do. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on October 25, 2012, 04:09:30 AM That si exactly how I do it too. You cant download directly onto ipad afaik because Apple dont allow torrent software without jailbreaking. I havent looked into jailbreaking as this way works well enough.

I was thinking it reminded me a lot of watching Lost, then I seen it was the same guy.

I've not watched any of the new season yet, it ends on January 13th and I will just watch it all once the show is over. I don't understand a lot of it, but crack on because the characters are really good and I want to see the end ldo......

They pretty much tidied up the loose ends by the end of the last series - but it's great they got commissioned for this final one because it really seems like they're going to be finishing off the grand master story arc in style :)up Gonna be a sad day when Walter is gone forever, but we'll have the memories and I'm really looking forward to seeing how they close everything out. Boardwalk Empire and Homeland are a couple others I'm saving, so no garbage TV over xmas for me :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on November 05, 2012, 10:50:42 PM Shit just got interesting in BE, great ep. +1 Homeland is my fav at the mo though Homeland is abs crushing it ainec, possibly better than 24.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on November 06, 2012, 03:22:55 AM I read on here so many times how great 24 was so watched it. It was alright I suppose but I wont be watching s2 onwards unless I am really bored and have nothing else. At the moment after work on a Sunday I download Homeland, Boardwalk Empire, Treme and Dexter and watch them in that order on a Monday. Homeland is incredible although I think it jumped the shark a little last night without revealing any spoilers.

Having defended Elementary, afterwatching ep2 of it, I'm giving it up, total tosh. If he gets things that easily, then the police are idiots.

Sad times for sure, but no doubt something will fill the gap and I have got shows coming out of my ears at the moment :D I gave up on 2 1/2 Men after a couple seasons, I went back to give it another spin earlier in teh year and still couldn't get on with it. I'll not be trying to get on board now Kutcher is they're, it's easier to just hate on him for being so fucking golden!

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Yian on November 07, 2012, 11:12:54 PM I've watched all 3 seasons of community, i love it. I started watching it because Childish Gambino (Troy) was in it, he's a pretty famous music star.

Watched the first episode and disliked it. I found it a bit tacky. But who am I to judge as i only watched one episode. It reminded me of Better of Ted, which is OK but a little forced and not quite clicking. Watch Big Bang Theory, Dexter, New Girl, The Office, Homeland and Family Guy mainly.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Horneris on November 14, 2012, 07:54:14 AM Walking Dead is head and shoulders the best thing on TV that I'm watching atm. I would have to agree with that, its almost unrecognisable to the early/middle parts of season 2, stunning show. Dexter is great too but enjoying TWD more. On the other hand, I think Homeland was better before something happened to a certain person, not been anywhere near as exciting the last couple of eps.

As far as Walking Dead goes yes it's great, but I do think it's kind of sucky how tame they are being compared to the graphic novel. There have been some key changes I really think they've compromised with. To be honest the graphic novel version makes the TV version look like Downton Abbey. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on November 14, 2012, 09:21:25 AM I have no idea what the
I also like True Blood, but that is mainly for boobs and swears. Appreciating everyone being cryptic about Homeland btw, thats on my watch list, I guess Dexter might have to be on there too. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: moonandback on November 14, 2012, 10:22:52 AM I love the Walking Dead but my missus spoilt it somewhat by asking "who's cutting the grass during the zombie apocalypse?"
sorry!

There was only 6 episodes in this first series, so well worth 3 hours of anyone's time with a sense of humour. It has Greg Davies who was the principal in 'the inbetweeners' and Andy Samberg who you might know from the comedy music group 'Lonely Island'.
Was a bit surprised to see Andy Samberg such a massive US star in this bbc3 series but he really does make the programme.

Can't really remember tbh, but it was probably later in 2008 when I started watching stuff like Entourage and Mentalist. I know I started watching a lot more once I went from prescribing my own meds and going out 3/4 nights a week, to only taking NHS prescription medication and going out a couple times a month tops :D That was in early 2009, I tend to binge watch shows too which makes it easier to get through them obv and I've actually got a load backed up at the moment.....

I'd guess he may have been a Major back then, well unless he was a full colonel and had been around for years. Big old base in fairness though, I only really spent time in DSSS, so didn't see any of the Int Corps offices and other areas around the place.
Really enjoyed my time there, even if Shefford was a bit out of the way... I do not miss that damn onion factory though!! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on November 26, 2012, 10:04:46 PM onion factory stank. dec 02 - july 05 i think

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Yian on December 07, 2012, 04:21:55 AM I started 'The Walking Dead' last week through it's recommendation in this thread. I'm deep into season 2 already which shows it's living up to the praise.
I don't think I would have otherwise watched it as all I knew about it was it's zombie theme; although there are a couple good zombie films, I'm never in a mood to consciously pick one to watch ('Zombieland' is a very good zombie comedy btw) TWD however, is different to any other. It depicts a lot of sadness and misery as you would imagine, living in a post-apocalyptic world after a global epidemic. You see this more because it's a series and there's scenes between the major incidents, of their day to day living where you wouldn't see this in a feature length film as much. Pretty sad to see a world where suicide has a reasonable argument for debate even though you are fully healthy. I'm struggling to see how the writers will close the story's arc other than the predictable 'finding a cure' scenario. Maybe you guys that are up to date already know what direction it's heading in. No spoilers if so! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on December 07, 2012, 08:27:50 AM I saw an article yesterday that more shotguns are being sold in America this year than ever and the gun people are putting it down to growing concern about the possibility of zombies. Some of the weaponry is now advertised as Zombie Guns and Zombie Bullets.
They really are one on their own, Americans. We have people who celebrate Christmas every day but they are just in a different league. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: bobAlike on December 07, 2012, 09:06:32 AM You mean zombies aren't real?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Yian on December 07, 2012, 02:07:22 PM I would understand people having a growing concern of an outbreak leading to some sort of epidemic but yeah, I don't think that people infected will be coming back to life lol.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 08, 2012, 09:30:59 AM Walking Dead was awesome.
They are running out of ideas on Sunny, very hit or miss atm. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on December 08, 2012, 11:30:25 AM I have just started watching Lost, done 5 episodes. Does it get better because it seems very meh to me?
I also started to watch The Walking Dead after a recommend on here, which is indeed very good. Am I alone in having thought what I would do if it happened ? My plan is to get a boat and head for the Scilliy Isles with a ton of books, vegetable seeds and several Labradors so that they could breed and I would always have some company. I reckon that there would be a finite number of Walkers on my chosen island and once I killed them I would be able to sleep tight then spend my days fishing and reading.

The wife made me turn off episode 3 :( Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: discomonkey on December 17, 2012, 02:41:20 AM about to begiin watching 24 from the start...... 8 whole days of my life will disappear (not all at once) im going in.... You lucky sod. IMO power through season 1 as quickly as possible, it's good, but seasons 2-5 are the best tv in history season 1 finished yesterday, couple of epsidoes into 2 atm..... going away for 2 weeks soon, wish i could stream on ipad while in the casino... Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 17, 2012, 02:56:21 AM Just put them on your iPad using Playable Pro,then you don't need to stream and can just watch away.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: bobAlike on December 18, 2012, 12:45:35 AM Homeland finale is superb. What a great way to end and sets it up nicely for a season 3.
Abso loved Homeland. It's got to be one of the best follow on series ever just like 24 series 2. Also Just finished Band of Brothers. How I never saw this when it came out in 2001 I'll never know. Intense story based on actual events surrounding WW2. Even though its American it came across really well. Problem is now what do I watch???

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 18, 2012, 08:49:34 PM No love in the thread for Him&Her? Amazing TV IMO. Loved Russell Tovey in Being Human but not really got into Him and Her. I really enjoyed Being Human once I got into it, but lost interest at the end of Season 3 and couldn't get into Season 4. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on December 18, 2012, 08:53:19 PM Keep seeing TV Top 10's for the year at various sites I go to so thought I would give it a go.
10. Last Tango in Halifax - not finished yet so could still disappoint but just really nice drama and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. 9. Dexter - I was starting to get a bit bored of Dexter but this season was relatively a return to form. Once dexter would have been in my top 5 for sure but it is just going on a bit too long now. 8. Fresh Meat - funny and original and the second series was as good, if not better than the first. 7. Homeland - Was a contender for top three after the first series but the second series was nowhere near as good and, on its own, wouldn't have made the top ten. 6. Treme - I love this show so much. It is a slow burner and it doesn't have much in the way of plot but the characters, music and way it is shot are just incredible. I am an admitted total David Simon fanboy but this show is worthy. 5. Boardwalk Empire - Another very good season. 4. Game of Thrones - I read some of the books before series 2 aired because I loved series one so much. I had almost zero interest in this kind of show before and would certainly never have read the books which basically go to show how great it is. 3. The Thick of it - As a politics student I never though I would ever see any satire as good as Yes Minister again but the Thick of It was as good. The second to last episode was just stunningly good. I watched a bit of Veep by the same people also and enjoyed that but haven't had time to finish it. 2. Breaking Bad - I had watched all of the previous series of BB and whilst I enjoyed it and it was was beautifully shot it never really grabbed me but the back end of the last series and this series I have really started to see what the fuss is about. The characters and their development have been quite stunning and whilst I am not sure if it will ever reach my favourites of all time it is getting close. 1. Mad Men - Mad Men is one of those shows that you can watch on more than one level. It is enjoyable as drama and is incredibly well shot with well developed and complex and interesting characters but I really think it delivers when you put some work into it. Every cultural reference means something and there are incredible themes to every episode which if you look closely at and do a bit of googling can improve your enjoyment of both the show and also can introduce you to a lot of incredible bits of culture that you might not have come across before. This year alone it has caused me read the poetry of Sylvia Plath, listen in more depth to the Beatles than I ever have before and get laughed at by my friends for spending an entire day of beer and football humming "Zou Bisou Bisou". When the Wire finished I thought nothing could ever compare. I think Mad Men is getting pretty close. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on December 19, 2012, 02:41:45 AM I thought this season of breaking bad was weakest by far, and s2 of homeland>>>>>>>>s1.
Never watched Mad Men. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Amatay on December 19, 2012, 06:56:49 AM Season finale of Dexter s7 and esp Homeland s2 was siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiik

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on December 19, 2012, 03:49:44 PM I have enjoyed Blue Bloods. It isn't the most cerebral and it is formulaic like most US Cop shows, but it is competently acted, sensitive and well directed.
Have yet to see the start of season 3 but am expecting more of the same. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 19, 2012, 03:59:18 PM I have enjoyed Blue Bloods.

Have yet to see the start of season 3 but am expecting more of the same. In before you join me on the berated by millidonk list for liking this show..... I'm a fan too, as you say it's predictable, but the characters are good and the little back stories with the characters work well too. You also have the added bonus of Bridget Moynahan too! I've not watched any of season 3 yet, but have all of the episodes waiting to go and will probably watch them over xmas.

They've had a good run and they're going to ruin things if they carry on much longer. That said, the ending has definitely left me scratching my head with regards to where they go next year. La Guerta is incred, she was one of the main Characters in Oz too as a Dr that had a bit of a carry on with one of the inmates.

Joe Mantegna's character David Rossi came in as a replacement and is very good in his own right, but I still miss Gideon.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 30, 2012, 03:58:56 PM I'd never really looked at the FX channel on Sky before (sin I know) but flicked past Family guy one night and noticed a couple of programs
If you liked Eastbound and Down, you may like Testees (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1262403/) It's on about 3am and I admit I only recorded it because of the name but it's silly like Eastbound/Sunny etc and worth a watch if you like that sort of thing. Secondly I discovered Generation Kill (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995832/) - It's an HBO production based on the invasion of Iraq in 2003. I'm only a couple of episodes in and am finding it a brilliant watch. If you liked Band of Brothers, I'd suggest this. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on January 03, 2013, 06:14:18 PM Watched 'The Take' last night, a 4 part series which was on Sky back in 2009 starring Tom Hardy.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on January 04, 2013, 09:09:25 AM Hugh Laurie might be back on the screens sooner rather than later too :)
'In what would be a major casting coup for NBC, the network is in talks with former House star Hugh Laurie to topline new action-adventure series Crossbones, from Luther creator Neil Cross and feature producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald. Unlike House, where Brit Laurie played an American, he would be able to use his normal British accent in Crossbones as he would play the notorious English pirate Blackbeard. The 10-episode Crossbones is set in 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder’s paradise, this is a place like no other on earth — and a mounting threat to international commerce.'

Breaking bad The US Office The League Suits Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on January 09, 2013, 11:05:28 PM Finished Generation Kill, going to recommend that again, another brilliant US Army series. Started Boss Season 2 which follows on nicely from S1, powerful political drama. Also started The Walking Dead but the Mrs isn't so keen so could be a slow one to get through, along with Sons of Anarchy.

Last episode I saw the other day (have the latest series saved on sky+) - trying not to spoil any plots - saw Nucky get a delivery of a large wooden box at 4 in the morning.
It's essentially all sex and stupid plots and I'm losing patience with it tbh. The writers' decision to explain everything in absurd detail and the repetitive subplot of "Gyp Rosetti is a sociopath and does irrational and violent things to innocent people" is beyond annoying. Did the American audience decide season two was too quick for them?! Will tough out the remaining three episodes but then I suspect I may be done with the show.

USA TV market is really a strange one, these shows get great reviews and high scores on IMDB yet only small viewing figures. Apparently 1m watched Boss, wonder how many viewers is classed as a hit? Dexter, an example of a long running program with 7 series and an 8th in planning gets approx 2.2m, surely 1m isn't too bad? Downton's 90-minute opener was seen by an average audience of 9 million - 9m!! I've only ever seen about 10 mins of Downton but it looked so bad and nothing happened (or was planned to happen). I can't see why it's so popular, perhaps we have so little choice in the UK and the US is jammed full of great tele. Off to research what big figure shows are in the US. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on January 22, 2013, 08:47:15 PM I didn't think Boss was that great tbh,meh.
US is insane though, couple of bad eps and shows snap get cut, crazy.

The more you grow to love and know each character the less they need to do to have you in bits. There are moments where I'm laughing when nothing has been said, you know what they're thinking. Playground antics by grown people in a work place, comedy genius!

May have already been suggested in the thread, but if you like the US office, you will love Parks and Recreation. Season 1 only gets watchable in the last two episodes of it, the previous 4 episodes are pretty slow, and will probably put you off watching the rest of the show. I am 4 episodes into season two now and I am absolutely loving it. There is one character called Ron Swanson who I think is the funniest character in all sitcoms, and It may be that he has hit me cold but he is awesome. Will report back on here about the show, but start from season 1 episode 5 and you won't regret the next 6 20mins episodes, probably the other, up to 5 seasons as well. Helluva a lot of episodes and I am really excited about watching them.

By not frightened you mean they don't mind sticking with the show after all the major actors abandon in because they all found better work?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on January 25, 2013, 11:04:49 PM Finally watched the rest of season three of Boardwalk Empire. Have to say the last two episodes were brilliant and I'm glad I endured what was largely ten hours of mediocre, disappointing script and plot.
I reckon they could have shortened the series to eight episodes and made them much more intense. I have Ripper Street saved and am told it's even more absurd than CSI in its 'everything's rubbish, this is terrible, is that the suspect?, it might be the suspect, it probably is the suspect but then there's no evidence, omg there's a raindrop over there that proves the entire case'-iness. Will give it a go. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Ant040689 on January 26, 2013, 06:36:27 AM I have watched 16 episodes of Parks and Recreation now and aside from the first 4 episodes the rest are quality. With the moustached gentleman being the funniest character, and the Asian fellow coming a close second.
I have two episodes linked below that are, imo, the best of what I have seen so far. If you watch these and are not impressed I say don't waste your time with any more. So should serve as a nice taster. The background to these guys is that they are working for the government's parks and recreation dept. and are working towards building a park on a piece of disused land. The comedy obv doesn't come from there, but just the antics they get up to. Enjoy!

Needless to say if you like Ricky Gervais Show/Idiot Abroad/Extras/Office you'll love this.Very excited for the premier of Derek tonight too (such a Gervais fanboy I know!). On a more serious note, loved watching the Newsroom with Jeff Daniels (haven't enjoyed a series as much as this since The Wire). Also have Season 3 part 2 of Walking Dead coming soon (Feb/March?), then Season 5 part 2 of Breaking Bad in the Summer (This cannot come soon enough). Still trying to get through Dexter season 6 so I can watch season 7, toying with the idea of just watching all the "previously on Dexter" recaps at the start of each episode to get the job done quicker.

Needless to say if you like Ricky Gervais Show/Idiot Abroad/Extras/Office you'll love this.Very excited for the premier of Derek tonight too (such a Gervais fanboy I know!). On a more serious note, loved watching the Newsroom with Jeff Daniels (haven't enjoyed a series as much as this since The Wire). Also have Season 3 part 2 of Walking Dead coming soon (Feb/March?), then Season 5 part 2 of Breaking Bad in the Summer (This cannot come soon enough). Still trying to get through Dexter season 6 so I can watch season 7, toying with the idea of just watching all the "previously on Dexter" recaps at the start of each episode to get the job done quicker. Episode summaries on wiki or imdb would do the trick.

Bit of a dissapointment. The series just sort of petered out. And didn't really get the last sequence with Lana and Jude. Meh Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on January 31, 2013, 09:24:07 AM New series of Black Mirror starts on 11 Feb.
I found the first episode (with the prime minister and the pig) to be one of the most brilliant and disturbing things I've ever seen. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on January 31, 2013, 09:35:51 AM Absolutely.

First episode scared the proverbials out of me, so I deleted episode two and the series link. This isn't a slasher horror drama; it's menacing, dark and powerfully delivered. #wuss Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on February 05, 2013, 05:58:21 PM That is a bit wussy Tal, I don't do horrors but I though The Following was great, looking forward to the rest :D

Sopranos boxset at the ready Started watching this again the other day. Im currently half way through Season 2 :) Favourite all time show I have just finished all 6 seasons again in around 3 weeks. Absolute love Sopranos. I just never get tired of it and was quite sad to have finished the last episode. I actually think I enjoyed it more this time round than before. I need something new to watch now, any ideas? No Sit Coms please. Shows I have seen or are upto date with: The Sopranos The Wire The Shield Dexter Sons of Anarchy Game of Thrones Breaking Bad Boardwalk Empire Justified Walking Dead Deadwood Spartacus 24 Alcatraz Homeland I may have missed a couple off the list Please make any suggestions based on the type of shows I have seen which you may think I would enjoy.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on February 09, 2013, 11:40:14 AM Brotherhood is worth a watch Craig, 3 seasons and I was surprised they ended it tbh.
Main characters are 2 brothers, one is a gangster and the other is a gangster in a suit. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on February 09, 2013, 11:54:07 AM I notice you've not seen 'Oz', the original HBO drama and a pretty epic one at that!
Rome is another HBO series that I have been told is excellent, but haven't got around to watching myself yet. Treme is supposed to be very good too, I think redarmi has seen it and recommends. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: I KNOW IT on February 09, 2013, 12:23:46 PM Thanks guys for the advice, I will definitely try them. I started to watch Brotherhood on project tv but there was a problem with some of the links/episodes so I gave up . I was enjoying it too.
How about Lost? Thats something I have never seen also. Thanks again guys Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: corkeye on February 09, 2013, 12:27:12 PM Thanks guys for the advice, I will definitely try them.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on February 10, 2013, 07:37:36 AM First season of prison break is possibly my fav single season of any show ever! Was utterly incred.

Not a great episode but still love it. Yeah, we turned it off half way through, to be fair I'm done with it, which is a shame coz I loved the first two seasons. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: corkeye on February 14, 2013, 09:48:19 PM Started off good but I'm gradually getting more lost with utopia.
Storyline is gradually getting increasingly confusing, and some of the characters are starting to piss me off. Anyone else? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: scotty2hatty on February 14, 2013, 09:53:48 PM Terrible ending to the most recent episode of TWD. There has always been something missing for me, can't put my finger on it. Still enjoyable.
Is Andrew Lincoln's accent believable? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: MANTIS01 on February 15, 2013, 12:04:00 PM Echo the disappointment about TWD. At first it was intriguing how humans were going to survive this disaster and whether they could find a way to rise up and defeat the zombies. Were there even any more survivors out there? Now I have no idea wtf is motivating this ridic Govenor with the heads in fish tanks or wtf is generally going on. This is just like Lost how they're padding the story with insanity. The last episode when they were wheeling wagons back and forward to defend the gates and everyone shooting at each other I though hmmm this is an episode of The High Chaparral.

I would have thought the whole concept pretty much means it's always going to end up as a Western, especially given where it's set. That's not necessarily good or bad - just depends what you like. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on February 15, 2013, 01:02:46 PM Been watching 'Bones' over the last few weeks and have been pleasantly surprised by it. I did watch a few episodes last year, but didn't get on with it and only gave it another spin after my dad vouched for it.
Some good characters, standard procedural where they always get the bad guy, but it's enjoyable and funny in parts too. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: I KNOW IT on February 15, 2013, 03:02:08 PM Is this the final season of The Walking Dead ?
Also, whatever happened to the guy ( Lennie James) and his son from episode 1 season 1. Was it revealed? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Horneris on February 15, 2013, 03:25:25 PM I can't believe The Walking Dead hate itt, everyone loved it a few episodes ago and its been absolutely fine since.

Has been renewed for a 4th season already.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: MANTIS01 on February 15, 2013, 03:51:28 PM All the heads in fish tanks and the daughter zombie with a bag on her head? What is this? The zombies used to be scary and main focus but now they just shuffling around in the background. The main storyline is ridic eye-patch guvnor wanting ultimate power and to kill all other humans for no real reason. It's a bit like Dallas which is ok and I'm still looking forward to next episode.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Jon MW on February 15, 2013, 06:12:10 PM ... The zombies used to be scary and main focus but now they just shuffling around in the background. .. Isn't that just a reflection of how much people will adapt to a situation and basically just get used to it? They're still dangerous, but after you've survived for that long and killed so many of them it has to take something 'new' to be a threat. ...The main storyline is ridic eye-patch guvnor wanting ultimate power and to kill all other humans for no real reason. ... I'd have thought the perfectly obvious - and valid - reason is he wants to conserve the resources. If his town grew too big too quickly there'd be shortages. Gaining resources from random surviving groups and then killing them off is the best way of helping his town thrive.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on February 19, 2013, 10:48:35 AM I thought TWD was ok, though I must admit I did think 'meh' with the final scene, not that arsed about that particular story arc.
Tis my favourite show right now though, every episode I feel nervous in the same way I did watching stuff like Jaws as a kid, really tense and scary stuff. Plus, it does what all great zombie films do, show you that you are better off with the monsters than with other humans when society crumbles.

I think The Guvnor should be in Avengers Assemble. See how he stood in the open when everyone was firing automatic weapons at him. Just put his hands on his hips and smiled. Zombie attack from behind? No problem for Guvnor. Fish tank in face? No problem for Guvnor. Pls die soon Guvnor.

Did this on the original series of 24. The BBC showed the next weeks show on BBC3 or something like that, anyway, got an episode you don't want to wait a week to see the next one so you watch it after only to have to wait 2 weeks to see a new one.

Haha, I only wait for the season to complete, I don't wait for the lot and my life expectancy has gone up immeasurably over the last 5 years. The meds I'm on now are much less likely to do me in than the ones I prescribed myself the 5 years previously :D How is the countdown to the new season of GoT looking.

Was only joking bud. Liked this week's episode actually and my fav part was when Herschel read from the bible. Brought a tear to my eye. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on February 27, 2013, 09:50:25 AM I watched my first and last episode of Banshee last night. The plot and script could have been created by a 12 year old and the actors should never have been allowed outside of a tellytubby outfit.
However I must give a big recommendation for Romanzo Criminale, which after a couple of subtle plugs on here I am curently halfway through. It is quite excellent, as long as you do not have an aversion to subtitles. It reminds me of Our friends in the north, as they both manage to capture the mood of the 70's and 80's so well.

I guess you both just prefer more grown up, dull tv in which you worry about the acting and realism aspects whereas I like to view the world through rose tinted glasses and just sit back and enjoy shows without worrying about things like that. I don't think "this is stupid, this would never happen, an ex-con could never just see a sheriff die then become him", but instead just go with it and become engrossed in that world. A lot of really good shows revolve around plots that would never happen in reality. I bet you hate things like magic and vampires too. Just let you're imagination reign free!!!

On the subject of vampires, who do you think gets Elena in the end Brent? I reckon it will be Stefan and hopefully Damon will revert to S1 mentality :D (Not read the books either) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on February 27, 2013, 07:41:07 PM I think that The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are both excellent so it is nothing to do with realism. Banashee is just badly written, poorly acted not for me at all.
Are we only meant to post comments about shows we like?

I really think it should be Stefan despite the fact Damon is a much cooler character it just feels more right. Its not the couple I'm rooting for most in TV atm though, that would have to go to Amanda Clarke a.k.a Emily Thorne and Jack Porter in the show Revenge. Really want a happy ending for Jack.

Rick Hoffman playing a str8 man is wrong though, the only flaw in the plot lol.

Going to be on sky Atlantic in May, will give it a whirl. I'm on episode 7 of Banshee and honestly I think it's gonna be another Breaking Bad... Has all the hallmarks of a great show "Man out for revenge, Tough Guy, Bad guy, Even Badder guy, Sex, Violence, Hot women and crazy violent scenes" all in all a strong 7/10 well worth a watch.. Just watched the first episode, excellent. Thanks for the recommendations. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on March 07, 2013, 12:14:07 PM For a quick Breaking Bad fix, they release some "Minisodes", not sure when. You can see them on Youtube if you are in the US but I'm sure you're favourite download place or online viewing platform will have them. They're only short, first one is about two and a half minutes but it's very funny.

Hope it picks up for the final 2 of the season. Episode 9 is pretty awesome... episode 7/8 are to give some background and depth to the characters, now that we know where they're coming from we can understand where they're headed (No surprises in American shows) ... The style of this show is pretty short term and episodes that add depth are there to add longevity to a show, don't be surprised if we get a second and third season of Banshee...

Vegas & The Following? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on March 18, 2013, 04:49:24 PM Have only seen one episode of Vegas but it looks like your standard 'easy to watch nothing much to think about' series, not too dissimilar to the old Las Vegas series, perhaps better acted and a bit less cheesy. It's enjoyable enough. Got them all on the planner ready to watch.
Loving The Following it's a good storyline and has some twists. Quite gruesome and shocking in parts, certainly somethings I wasn't expecting! And I quite like the cute short haired serial killer girl :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TheChipPrince on March 18, 2013, 04:53:06 PM I thought the Following started 'too' quickly, thought it may fizzle out by 6/7 episodes but its keeping it up well, like it
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on March 18, 2013, 05:00:38 PM Have both of them stored and will watch once they have completed for the season.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on March 18, 2013, 05:25:06 PM I'm enjoying Vegas. Isn't the sort of 100mph stuff that seems to be being churned out at present and I like that. Lots going on tho.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on March 20, 2013, 12:26:45 PM Saw there was some love for Parks and Rec earlier in thread - BBC4 are now showing this on Wednesdays at 10.
They're up to eps 5&6 of the first series, which I've liked, but all the talk about it was that the first 6 episodes are essentially just an extended pilot and that it really takes off from Season 2, so I'm getting stoked for that. Also Mad Men new series starts on April 7th. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TightEnd on March 20, 2013, 12:27:42 PM Parks and Rec is much better after the 1st season

It's about a South London estate where two estate boys want to rise to the top and take over the drug trade. It's also the story of a young boy who cares for his Mum before she is admitted to a mental hospital for recovery, and how he avoids care, and the care he is under as an alternative.

Described on the BBC websites as an eight-part comedy drama about a British bomb disposal detachment in Afghanistan Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Acidmouse on March 22, 2013, 11:47:43 AM If you like British Drama - 4oD has Top Boy with Asher Dee/Ashley Walters in it. It's about a South London estate where two estate boys want to rise to the top and take over the drug trade. It's also the story of a young boy who cares for his Mum before she is admitted to a mental hospital for recovery, and how he avoids care, and the care he is under as an alternative. excellent choice enjoyed it.

Funnier, bit darker. This. It is my favourite series ever made, period, pretty ridiculous with the Wire being around, but for the out of nowhere laughs, its there. I think it is cheating a little to have a comedy set out in a mockumentary style, with me anyway, as it is set up to hit your funny bone out of the blue on so many occasions. US office, despite its lulls in some episodes was great for it and of course the holy grail, the original Office. Even Modern Family is a great watch because of it despite it being behind the aforementioned. Ron Swanson is my all time favourite comedy character, somehow finding his way past David Brent. Believe me too that I am not taking how good the original office is lightly. Should probably be shot down for saying its better than the UK Office, and I will rewatch that to confirm, but I think I am sure. Have the problem now, after watching every up to date episode of Parks and Rec, of withdrawal symptoms, but I think I will live :) I don't do understatement very well generally, but I can't rave enough about this show. So AndrewT, I recommend you stick to the plan and continue watching :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: scotty2hatty on March 26, 2013, 08:35:39 AM TWD is fkin awesome.

To give you an example in the last series there was an episode entitled Lady Lazarus which is the title of a poem by Sylvia Plath. An understanding of that poem somewhat explains the themes of that particular episode and you will get more out of the episode and its themes if you understand that but beyond it being the title it isn't mentioned again so you either have to know or make an effort to understand it. Similarly in the same episode at the end Don Drapers is given a record to listen to and it is "Tomorrow never knows" by the Beatles which was totally ground breaking at the time and is a metaphor for how the times are passing Draper by somewhat and the new generation understands, and is influenced by things he just doesn't understand. It is a show that is full of metaphors and cultural references that reward a bit of work and thinking which is obviously not for everyone but I personally get more out of it than anything else I have watched with the possible exception of the Wire.

I too have seen the first lot of episodes and not appreciated it as much as I should have and now I know why. Little lost onto what to sink my teeth into now. I love a good comedy and do shy away from most things in the least bit serious, unless its The Wire. Have been watching 30 Rock, and it's okay. It comes across as a little tacky (into the first 10 episodes of season 1) and corny, but you get caught off guard with random belly laughs, which I love, but I think fundamentally, I can't quite carry on with the show. Been hearing raving reviews of Community. I have watched the first 4 episodes of season 1, and they are terrible. Heard though it gets good into season two, but where I saw promise in a not so good Parks and Rec season 1, I find hopelessness with Community. Seen Parks and Rec/Modern Family/US Office/UK Office/Family Guy, have seen nearly all of Friends/Arrested Development, have loads of Simpsons to catch up on but don't know if it is actually any good anymore? Thinking about about whether or not to give Curb Your Enthusiasm another go if i should even start now on South Park and if i should start some old school ones in the Larry Sanders show/Frasier/Seinfeld. And Marky147, Dwight does indeed crap all over Gareth. However, it is like a hyped up super version of him. Gervais probably didn't want to go that way with Gareth because as you hinted its a different show altogether really. UK office always had that bleak undercurrent going through it with relative understatement in comparison to the US version. Probably a social comparison to be made there between the two cultures. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on March 28, 2013, 06:35:30 PM I am not sure how great community is for a UK audience. Similarly to Mad Men it draws a lot on cultural references but a lot of them are American cultural references. Sometimes I feel like I get it and find it very funny other times I am a bit meh about it. Similarly I downloaded the Royle Family the other day because since we had the baby I have taken to calling my wife Denise and wanted her to watch it. She just didn't get it at all....well she got the bit about me calling her Denise but that didn't go down to well and she missed the humour in the rest of it........

Saying that, the Sopranos is funny at times too Random excursion before I go into responding to the above. I have also watched nearly all of House and all of Lie to Me before it got cancelled and the reason I watched both, despite both having real bad plot failings in that they were both outrageously formulaic, was that both the main characters I really liked. And that carried me into each episode. They were both mavericks and of course that's no real diversion away from other series but these guys I found endearing and funny and that can make or break a show. To talk of one show where there is a maverick but it really doesn't work for me as I don't like the character, is The Mentalist. Now this show really is tacky and crusty and this got way too many watches from me only because who I believe to be probably the most attractive woman I have seen on TV, in Amanda Righetti, features, (get your google perv on) despite the acting across the board being pretty wooden. Tim Kang in fact is laughably bad in it, but if he has been told to act in that deadpan way as a way to make us laugh, then bravo, depends if it is deliberately bad or not. To Redarmi, I think there is a lot to be said about different cultures and not getting series because of it and you are better versed to notice this as I have stayed in the UK all my life. But that doesn't explain why some US shows are nearly seamlessly good when those UK peeps watch them and react to them. I can only speak for myself obv, but the shows I listed before are great and I don't think there are any teething issues with them. Maybe Community will be great as soon as I get through the first season, I will eventually get around to it, as many people have said its better than Parks and Rec and I need to give it a fair go, because if it does get better than it, yes yes yes yes yes. Not seen any of Royal Family AT ALL! It looks from the outside something you either love or you hate, in that you get this family and find them funny or you may just think the show is crap. I dunno, is it worth a bash for a newbie? Gonna start Californication off of your recom alone Marky, no pressure :) Just seen the cover picture to the show, from memory, I think its the bloke from X Files and appears to be another Maverick formula, all good if I like the bloke and the show supports it. Fuck me all this writing, waste so much time putting my word across too, its sad. But yeh I do love me a good series. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on March 28, 2013, 08:57:59 PM Loved House, Lie to Me and I love Mentalist too, Patrick Jane is a hero :D
Amanda Righetti is hot, but I'm not sure that I'd go so far as to say hottest on TV... Cho gonna Cho, as you say unsure if he's supposed to be like that and not losing sleep anyway. I like the characters and that's enough for me, stretched it out some way and I can't see it going beyond a 6 if I'm honest... Royle Family is just incred, Jim Royle is a legend of a man and the show is just too good!! No pressure if you're plumping for Hank, guy crushes and you'll be working through that show lively I would bet.

Yeah, having had the weekend to mull it over, it felt a bit like they were just making a Lost/Flash Forward hybrid (I know its the same creators) and on second thoughts the uncle character was a walking reluctant hero cliche.

- Amanda Righetti IS the hottest on TV, good call Ant. Although I did stop watching The Mentalist a couple of seasons ago as the same thing happened every week and it was always obvious who was the baddy each week really early on and nothing ever seemed to happen with the Red John story. - The Vampire Diaries IS worth sticking with. - Revolution isn't great and could be so much better, but the ep last week (the first after the break) was good and something very solid happened. - I rarely get excited about TV but am absolutely buzzing for The Walking Dead finale tonight and the first ep of Game Of Thrones. 2 of the best 5 shows of recent times without a doubt.

I remember reading they've had to react to criticism from wispy-beardy types that the TV show was straying from the comics too much and the writers decided to bring the Governor in to appease them. He's also got nastier during the series because of how horrible he is in the comics and the "purists" were only then appeased. The writers have since implied he'll be back for the next series.

Sky Arts (I said bear with me!) has a series of plays (what did I say about bearing with me?) starting on 18th. Here's the trailer: YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iwU8nmuR4w Kylie, Anna Friel and a load of well-known faces. The first one sees Ms Minogue in a biopic of Andy Warhol that goes dramatically wrong (not as badly wrong as Kylie's version of Celebration, but still pretty wrong) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: booder on April 15, 2013, 10:30:41 AM New season of deadliest catch starts tomorrow.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: VBlue on April 15, 2013, 11:27:29 AM Just got into:
Mad Men - five episodes in and starting to get into it. Loving the late 50s attitudes. Utopia - enjoying this. Love something that stands out on it's own. Good acting, interesting story but not too much effort to stay on top of what's happening. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on April 15, 2013, 11:51:31 AM Modern family utterly incred, funniest thing out there & really getting into the following now.

Hmmm either I'm thick and/or not paying full attention, but I found the latter stages of the series hard going/plot kind of ran away from me Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mulhuzz on April 15, 2013, 10:49:27 PM Thoughts on Lie to Me?
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on April 15, 2013, 11:43:26 PM Thoughts on Lie to Me? Liked Lie to Me, bit silly in parts but certainly watchable. Bit disappointed when they announced that was it after a couple of seasons. Agree with Utopia, started off really well but by the time you found out what it was all about it was a bit dull. A different idea anyway, have to give it some credit for that. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on April 16, 2013, 01:00:48 AM Thoughts on Lie to Me? Tim Roth is such a hero, Kelli Williams and Monica Raymund are incred. I found it very enjoyable, albeit predictable on the most part and the characters are good.

I wasn't into the Hannah story as much. Not sure why they felt the need to go down the love route again.

If you like a good sex scene and if you like a good fight scene and you don't mind it being a little far fetched, then this is for you. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on May 02, 2013, 01:06:01 AM I might watch that if the season is finished, your description made me think of Spartacus which I've got the whole job lot of to get through too.

It's very cheesy, very very cheesy but it's quite funny. It's a private detective thing - people hire them because they are in danger, they sort it out. Worth a look if you've run out of other things to watch. I wouldn't give it the 7.6 that IMDB has but it's not far out and certainly watchable.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TightEnd on May 21, 2013, 07:26:58 PM think thats true, as you know who the killer is from the beginning its a different type of drama to the suspense of "whodunnit" which is more familiar
but I like the Gillian Anderson character, quite complex and enigmatic. As well as a fan of inviting random men into room 241 of the Belfast Hilton.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: wazz on May 27, 2013, 06:51:29 PM Too much thread to read so I'll just pop my favourites in.
Twin Peaks Game of Thrones Breaking Bad Boardwalk Empire The Office Arrested Development Girls Parks & Rec American Dad Mad Men House of Cards Would like to get into the wire but there's too much for me to catch up on and I tend to get obsessive about tv shows and don't want to wait for the next episode if it's any good, so I figure I'll save it for if/when I get ill and am bed-bound. Probably an unpopular opinion but I enjoyed Lost. Not enough to rewatch it (have seen first 5 season of Mad Men 3 times, now!) ever but I enjoyed the ride and actually quite liked the ending. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on May 27, 2013, 07:00:51 PM Lost is one of my favourite shows ever, have rewatched it and liked the ending too!
Not seen Twin Peaks, have seen the next 4 and haven't seen the last 6 on your list. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: wazz on May 27, 2013, 07:13:47 PM Lost is one of my favourite shows ever, have rewatched it and liked the ending too! Not seen Twin Peaks, have seen the next 4 and haven't seen the last 6 on your list. You're perhaps the only person I've ever talked to with the same opinion! Twin Peaks is excellent but a little dated. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the other 6, they're all excellent but in their own particular ways. Not everyone likes Mad Men, for instance - it's not plot-driven at all, it's character-driven. They work extremely hard on character development but if you need stuff to be happening and if you want to read into stuff that it's happening for a particular reason or suspect this means they're going in this or that way with the plot it's not for you. Girls is also excellent, for example, but could be frustrating and seen as a bit puffy. Parks & Rec is just downright hilarious. American Dad is up and down, when it's funny it's very, very good but it's dropped off significantly in parts where I assume the good writers are taking time off. Most of this season has been pretty rubbish tbh. House of Cards took me a couple of episodes to get into but the acting is truly excellent. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on May 27, 2013, 07:21:26 PM Lost is my second fave all time show after 24 and I also thought the ending was great. Loved the twists, loved the characters, loved it when they changed allegences, loved the science vs faith stuff etc. Also thought Hurley and Sawyer had some of the best one liners on TV between them.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on May 27, 2013, 07:40:52 PM You've implied you prefer American Dad to Family Guy.

Sopranos?? 24?? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: wazz on May 28, 2013, 12:29:54 AM Never seen an episode of Sopranos. Would watch but it's not particularly high on my list.
Watched all of 24. Wouldn't watch again. I mean, ok, but got pretty boring and samey after a while. Samey can be fine - House was samey and I enjoyed what I watched of that, but it was pretty clever and sophisticated. Definitely prefer American Dad to Family Guy.

It's an adult show but the characters are puppets. I can't do it justice by describing it. YouTube/iPlayer is your friend. Seth McFarlane humour but inherently British. Great cast of voices as well. Vince is just the greatest. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mulhuzz on May 28, 2013, 12:18:01 PM Never seen an episode of Sopranos.

I can't help but laugh every time Lecter gets one of his recipe cards out. Bit weird that it's set in modern times rather than sticking to the original time line but probably makes it better if anything.

I've actually got Mad Men and House of Cards to watch, but in the meantime I'm working my way through Bones and Vegas. I watch some questionable shows myself, Vampire Diaries is one of my favourite shows and True Blood is very good too. Actually have Parks & Rec on my PC too after seeing that Kidada Jones is in it, but again haven't gotten around to watching. Not seen American Dad or Family Guy though, and have an abundance of my own stuff to get through before loading up the drive with any more.

Only one episode behind now, but enjoying it.
Still keeping a distance from the standard cop/detective/CSI show, although I thought the Laurence Fishburne's marriage issues storyline was really weak. Haven't read the books, so apologies if that's a set up and she gets munched later on. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on June 10, 2013, 07:27:59 PM GOT meh

Some of the acting is a bit...american...but it has otherwise been fun.

Waiting until that has a couple seasons under its belt before watching, too many in the backlog to get caught up in shows airing now. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on July 18, 2013, 01:03:50 PM I gave up on Hannibal after half a dozen episodes.
Found it really dull. The murder scenes were graphic, but there was no tension or excitement. And the worst thing was the Hannibal character's mumbling. "What did he say?" "No idea" <winds it back> "No, still no idea." Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on July 18, 2013, 01:08:11 PM I gave up on Hannibal after half a dozen episodes.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on July 18, 2013, 07:35:52 PM I just cant seem to get properly into anything at the moment. I watched an episode of Hannibal and was fairly underwhelmed. Watched the first episode of Ray Donovan and it was okay I guess but I can't say that I am desperate to watch the next episode. Even Dexter isn't really compelling me to watch and it is more out of habit than anything else. The last thing I really, really enjoyed was Romanzo Criminale although I have enjoyed Dates. Can someone give me something that is going to restore my faith in the medium?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on July 18, 2013, 07:56:20 PM We're (I'm) still enjoying Human Target. It's certainly cheesy and S2 isn't as good as S1 with the intro of Mrs Pucci but it's watchable. You'll be underwhelmed though, it's certainly not brilliant and I can see why there's only two series of it. It's a bit like the A Team.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on July 18, 2013, 07:58:21 PM Watched and loved - The Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Mad Men, Friday Night Lights, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Our Friends in the North
Watched and liked - Boardwalk Empire, Treme, Generation Kill, Dexter (some of the time), Skins, Oz, Homeland Watched and feel meh about (but others love) - 24, Lost. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on July 18, 2013, 08:11:51 PM I've got loads on my drive to watch, but my old man has ploughed through them and he speaks pretty highly of these
Rome Spartacus Band of Brothers He likes these Grimm Person of Interest NCIS + (LA) I've seen and think are definitely worth watching - Sons of Anarchy, Southland, The Good Wife and Justified Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on July 18, 2013, 08:12:55 PM Also, I can't believe I forgot Californication... Hank Moody might just be the greatest!
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: booder on July 18, 2013, 08:29:16 PM Although about 15 years old , This Life is well worth a watch.
One of the BBC's best ever dramas. Edit..............Entourage another worth a visit. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on July 18, 2013, 08:44:04 PM Edit..............Entourage another worth a visit. Was going to mention this myself. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on July 18, 2013, 09:13:50 PM Edit..............Entourage another worth a visit. Was going to mention this myself. Yeah, I typed it out and then changed my mind based on there being no comedy in the listed shows. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on July 18, 2013, 11:18:32 PM Red Armi you should give Rome a go, and also The Shield- both are quality dramas along the lines of what you say you loved.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 77dave on July 19, 2013, 01:10:26 AM Red Army, it has to be sons of anarchy or breaking bad
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on July 19, 2013, 06:43:23 AM Red going by your list I would suggest the shield, band of brothers, The Pacific but I wouldn't watch a thing until I had started the walking dead. Even people who hate zombie films love that series. soooo good. You only liked Homeland? wtf. The following is probably worth a watch as well.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: the sicilian on July 19, 2013, 02:56:02 PM Also, I can't believe I forgot Californication... Hank Moody might just be the greatest! Hank = Hero...go to ex girlfriends house for dinner party get caught banging her friend from behind whilst high then throw up over new boyfriends costly painting and bed... Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on July 19, 2013, 10:38:46 PM Californication is awesome but I wouldn't worry about watching it in series order.
There's not really a story to it that you have to worry about. Bit like two and a half men in that respect, just watch random ones when you feel like it. Looking at your list I think you should have 'Homeland' as your next watch.

Now on season 2 and totally addicted. 25 days later just finished season 4 and tis the greatest show of all time imo. Already downloaded the first 8 eps of the current season, so may well be caught up when it restarts Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: rfgqqabc on July 25, 2013, 07:42:12 PM Dexter has been sooooo good.

It's always been pretty daft but the last few episodes have been very daft. The introduction of this crazy eyed psychologist who claims to have invented dexter is just too much for me.

Yeah its good..and I think Quaid plays his part really well..although it is quite hilarious he sits down the accused stares them in the eye and tells them to tell the truth..which they do immediately rolling over to a murder usually and a life sentence... however you cant have a denial and get the episode done in 44 minutes :) Loved Chiklis in The Shield and he shows flashes in this but overall his character comes across a little too nice guy for a high up member of the Mob..

Although given you brought the topic up....whats your interpretation of the ending? Just finished it again too. So good! My interpretation of the ending is - it achieved what it set out to do which is to keep us talking about it long after the end. I don't believe for one minute that he was killed and that Chase would have either written a film or bought the series back given time. Unfortunately the death of Gandolfini put pay to that.

Leave the nostalgia to those late night reruns of Lyla Garrity's, ahem, best moments.... I couldn't help it, I just felt obliged to stroll down memory lane when the great man passed away. I'm just finishing season 8 of Bones too, so will get onto a new show once I'm done with that. Just watched Sopranos again, what a show! Although given you brought the topic up....whats your interpretation of the ending? I think they left it ambiguous for the reasons bobalike has mentioned, they wanted everyone to be talking about the ending, and also it left things open to the possibility of a movie S7. However, I did some reading after watching the final episode a few times, and have to say that I think he was slotted in the diner 100% Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on August 08, 2013, 01:19:35 AM Yeah I have read about it too and think he was killed too.

A lot of people I know were moaning, because every little question that had arisen throughout the 6 seasons hasn't been answered. I had never been that worried about getting answers to everything, I just enjoyed the ride, the characters and how their relationships all developed over the course of it. Was it hard to follow? Yes, did I get confused multiple times? That didn't detract from how enjoyable the journey was, and the ending certainly didn't leave me feeling shortchanged like some.

Gene Wolfe (greatest living author?) on writing stories Quote There's a wonderful "Peanuts" cartoon that pretty much describes what I'm talking about: Snoopy is on the top of his doghouse and he writes something like, "A frigate appeared on the edge of the horizon. The King's extravagances were bankrupting the people. A shot rang out. The dulcet voice of a guitar sounded at the window." Then he turns and looks at the reader and says, "In the last chapter I'm going to pull all this together!"

Amen to all of this Marky Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on August 08, 2013, 01:42:59 PM Gene Wolfe (greatest living author?) on writing stories Quote There's a wonderful "Peanuts" cartoon that pretty much describes what I'm talking about: Snoopy is on the top of his doghouse and he writes something like, "A frigate appeared on the edge of the horizon. The King's extravagances were bankrupting the people. A shot rang out. The dulcet voice of a guitar sounded at the window." Then he turns and looks at the reader and says, "In the last chapter I'm going to pull all this together!" Lost forgot that last little bit I cannot disagree, but it didn't bother me at all :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TightEnd on August 08, 2013, 03:30:07 PM enjoyed this, from a viewe who has Audio Description turned on and doesn't realise what it is!

In the mean time I've started on The Shield which I can't believe I didn't like before, it's a cracking show! FNL still on the horizon.

In the mean time I've started on The Shield which I can't believe I didn't like before, it's a cracking show! FNL still on the horizon. We've just started from Season 1 on Netflix, so am 3 episodes into understanding all the hype. Enjoying it so far. Loving Netflix, considering that I only signed up for the free trial with the intention of blitzing through every episode of The League again, after discovering it was available on there. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on August 16, 2013, 05:14:03 PM Just watched 90% of Orange is the New Black on Netflix. I had read the book and the show deviates a fair bit but is very entertaining. Definitely recommend.

When I was over there, my mate showed me it and I thought it was just the free next day delivery you get for your money, but in the US, you get access to their version of Netflix. We get the lending library over here for the Kindle books but the TV show thing would be make it a real consideration.

Have never used it to be honest because I still use a UK address for my amazon account because I read so much and some UK books arent available on kindle in the US. Glad you posted though as I think I might still be paying for prime in UK which is a bit pointless getting free postage with a Kindle!!!

Wife watched West Wing (which she loved) but it just passed me by as that was shown back in my partying days. Just IMDBd Sports Night. Will add that to the list after this one. He also did Moneyball, Charlie Wilson's war and a few good men. Wow, some talent that guy! Newsroom bitches, get on it! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on September 24, 2013, 06:21:10 PM Meh - I watched the first 6-8 episodes of Newsroom and I just found the dialogue very false and forced and the characters a bit too cliched.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Ant040689 on September 25, 2013, 06:16:43 AM Watched all of Newsroom and enjoyed it all. Can sort of see where you are going with the cliche stuff Redarmi and it really doesn't ruffle any feathers at all during it really aside from one or two moments, but it was entertaining in a nice and calming way, without any suspense at all really. So for me, it really did offset Breaking Bad wonderfully. As I would watch both one after the other on the Monday morning.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Acidmouse on September 25, 2013, 12:23:02 PM 'by any means ' good start to the new series. BBC Sunday nights, its like cops doing the hustle thing. Looking forward to Atlantis that starts on BBC this weekend also.

I thought the first series was brilliant but, like The Walking Dead, it didn't keep my interest as the stories developed.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Woodsey on October 06, 2013, 10:47:34 AM About half way through season 5 of Dexter, it's still ok but it's getting repetitive now. I'll keep watching for now....
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 06, 2013, 11:04:32 AM Might as well just dig in and finish now Woodsey ;)
If only they hadn't resolved the salary dispute during season 6, we may not have seen the last 2 seasons. Showtime only wanted to pay him $10m a season and he wanted $1m an episode! Can't blame him for carrying on when they're paying that kind of dough!

It's one I don't mind watching for a second time. Season 4 on the other hand was excellent but a lot of that came from the plot twists etc so I find on repeated viewings it's not as good.
Don't watch Season 6. Seriously. Just watch the last 60 seconds of the final episode. Season 7 is good. Watch it. Season 8 is a travesty. Do not watch it. Do not even just watch the final episode. As far as I'm concerned Season 8 is terrible fan fiction and never happened. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: bobAlike on October 07, 2013, 07:46:14 PM Life on Mars was great. Ashes to ashes not so great.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on October 07, 2013, 07:49:56 PM Quite suprised with all the anti Dexter. OK, it's not brilliant but it's certainly watchable if you're short of programs to watch.

Incidentally the earnings of a criminal barrister haven't gone up since the 80's, so now it's the police officers that are playing squash and drinking madeira while the barristers are living in ..... ......

Does it let up at all until the end? Do any of the seasons go on dips? I think I will be seeing this one through until the end.

I think I know what my problem is but I can't really say as it could be interpreted as a spoiler. I just don't like change. :( I saw the first 'The Wrong Mans'. It was ok, but I haven't bothered to watch any more. I will leave it for when I am pretty desperate I think.

Stringer Bell obvs Omar I'm early into season two but looking forward to when Ziggy inevitably gets himself killed (no spoilers please but how can he live the whole season?)

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on November 06, 2013, 07:01:09 AM I'm really disliking Homeland, more to do with Carrie being the worst agent ever than the emerging storyline. She would have been snap sacked in season 1..Not sure howmuch more I can handle without Brody, thank god for Quin else I mmight have given up.
Loving TWD tho. GOT is back on our screens in April I think, that's a long wait. :( Still loving The Newsroom. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Kev B on November 06, 2013, 10:54:31 AM Enjoying the Tunnel, loving the French female cops attitude. Also the Ripper looks like a good un too.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on November 06, 2013, 12:49:57 PM Gave up on the tunnel after about 5 minutes when I realised it was a direct copy of The Bridge. Even the guy having a vasectomy was the same with him limping to the first crime scene, why couldn't they have just based the idea on The Bridge and made it different? Maybe it does change, but I've deleted it of my planner now.

As good as Luther was, whenever I watch Idris Elba there's a part of me that's always aware his charachtar is Idris Elba / Stringer Bell.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: The Squid on November 08, 2013, 09:05:16 PM Just trying Boardwalk Empire. Seems pretty decent after 3 episodes. Although are the first few signs of characters lapsing in to two dimensions.
Homeland has some serious limitations. Didnt even bother with it after 1st series. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on November 16, 2013, 01:16:30 AM Another series of Sports Life Stories currently running on ITV, really interesting. 5 days left to watch the James Cracknell one on ITV player which is excellent.
Pretty sure I made this moan last time as well lol, but, absolutely no idea why this is on ITV4 with all the dross that is on ITV, jokers. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on November 16, 2013, 08:55:33 PM Just caught up with Boardwalk Empire and Homeland.
Apart from Saul being a hero, I'm really struggling to work out where everything is going this season. That said, I may not have been giving it my full attention, and in turn may have missed stuff. Boardwalk Empire is crushing, and glad to see it was snap renewed for a 5th season a few episodes in. Just watched the final episode from last season of SOA too, so gonna crack into that now. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on November 18, 2013, 07:59:20 PM Shit just got real in Homeland :o

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on November 20, 2013, 02:51:55 PM The thing I love about Boardwalk is it just delivers on every level consistently. It might not be my favourite show or the one I watch first if I have got a few to watch but I have got to the point where I trust it. It is never going to turn into another Dexter, its never going to spend a few weeks on an extended dream sequence or test my patience with a slightly convoluted fake serial killer storyline. Do I overall prefer Sopranos and the Wire? Yes but I can't remember ever being particularly disappointed or bored by a long running storyline. Every second seems to be well used and thought out and, of course, beautifully shot. The only show that is as consistently good is Game of Thrones.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on November 20, 2013, 05:42:25 PM Watching the latest season of Eastbound and Down on Sky and I've suddenly realised I've not seen season 3 yet.

This is a bit out of the leftfield for this thread but I just love "Last Tango in Halifax" It is just real good British drama. It doesnt have an anti hero lead or any spectacular action scenes but the dialogue is wonderfully observed. Maybe I am just missng home but I havent enjoyed an hours TV as last nights episode in a long time. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on November 20, 2013, 11:24:42 PM Three seasons in to the Wire and I'm hooked. It really requires an investment of time and I think if I didn't have box sets it would have given up during season 1, but once you understand the huge network of complex characters it really is something else. Assuming the last two series are on a par it should easily make my top three list.

Think in a cumulative kind of way it just gets better and better over the last 2 seasons. Have fun. Watched season 1 of GoT in the last coupla weeks.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on November 26, 2013, 06:21:03 PM I was much the same after watching it, but then I thought the few episodes before were where the crazy stuff happened, and this was just tidying it up ready for the break.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Ant040689 on November 29, 2013, 05:29:48 AM Watched Hello Ladies with Stephen Merchant and it is good. He plays a guy down on his luck trying to make it with the ladies and the situations he gets himself in are amusing, a lot for his awkward mannerisms, and real bolts of comedy that hit you from left field.
I think definitely worth the watch if you like the Gervais/Merchant style sort of humour as Merchant enjoys getting it in as much as he can, unlike his character on screen. Tap in.

It takes a real investment of time, but it pays off.
The amazing thing about it is there are no amazing episodes, no amazing scenes, no huge plot twists, no huge cliffhangers etc. It is a show that relies entirely on great characters and the very complex relationship between them. It is just really enjoyable to watch every single character and how they influences the huge network of mini storylines. It probably takes two seasons to really understand what is going on, and had I not had them all in boxset format I probably would not have stuck with it having to wait a week between episodes, but it might become my second fave show after Breaking Bad, assuming season 5 is good which I hear it is.

True Blood is decent if you're into vampires and the supernatural.

The 7th season will be the last and its the only reason I am sticking with it. First two or three seasons are pretty good though.

Still not loving it but I am now invested in it again, wish they had gotten to this point about three eps in instead of boring us to death all season. Hopefully the rest of the series will be like 24 or someink Whilst it hasn't been as good as the first two seasons I don't think it's been boring. I blame Breaking Bad, pretty out of order setting the bar joke high then buggering off, twats. US Graham, get on it. My bad, Im watching the UK one........so once again am looking forward to it now.

Thought this was the final episode, but then realised that it's next week ;grr; Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: teamonkey on December 04, 2013, 12:45:17 PM Have now finished the wire, did 5 seasons in 2 weeks!!!!
agree with many that it was a fantastic TV series, and i personally liked how it ended, with Jimmy seeming, at least to me, to realise that it will be a never ending story, with only the names of the characters changing, the game will go on now watching dollhouse, not that great to be honest, but i have 2 seasons to get theu, and as a self confessed sci-fi nerd, i'm going to stick with it. after that i will have to go for breaking bad, however as i'm due home in a few days, weather depending, i'll not start that till my next trip which starts 27th December (getting christmas at home, but new years on the rig) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Amatay on December 04, 2013, 05:03:20 PM Brutal end of mid season ep of The Walking Dead

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 07, 2013, 08:59:01 PM I've heard many times that Prison Break and Dexter are both amazing, but become shit in the later seasons. As they are both on Netflix I'm gonna give them a go - which series should I stop on for each?
Also gonna give SOA a whirl as I am about to finish the Wire. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on December 07, 2013, 10:42:24 PM I've heard many times that Prison Break and Dexter are both amazing, but become shit in the later seasons.

I didn't get past season three of Dexter but enjoyed Prison Break throughout. Definitely the first series is best, but I'm glad I stuck with the whole story. You will recognise a pivotal character from TWD. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: rfgqqabc on December 07, 2013, 10:53:02 PM I mean up to about 5/6 with Dexter is okay. I enjoyed them all until the last one though.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on December 07, 2013, 10:55:16 PM Prison break season 1 is one of the best opening seasons I've ever seen. Does get shit, gets ok then shit again. Dexter gets very samey.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on December 07, 2013, 11:10:46 PM Wouldn't bother with Dexter beyond about series 4. It was great until then and after that it is just a bit meh. If you get that far you will probably watch it until the end though.....a bit like I will do with Homeland despite having sworn off it about ten posts back!!!

As they are both on Netflix I'm gonna give them a go - which series should I stop on for each? Also gonna give SOA a whirl as I am about to finish the Wire. season 2 SOA is astonishing, one of the best things i've seen. season 3 is one of the worst. if I were you I'd read what happens on wikipedia and just miss that season out. you really won't miss a thing. After that it never gets as good as S2 but its very watchable. I gave up on prison break half way through season 1 and got through the whole of dex but it was a really tough grind tbh the last few seasons. No love for arrow on this thread? For a cheap superhero series it's punching way above it's weight. Great backstory/arc thing with him stuck on an island learning his superskills (few nods and winks towards lost). Was a bit monster of the week in season 1 but it's settled down into a really fun show, same baddies as the batman films. I've had weeks where I've had BE, SOA and arrow sitting there waiting to be watched and arrow is the one I'm most excited to see. Oh and for me watching the wire for the 2nd time with subtitles and reading the sepinwall recaps afterwards was just as if not more enjoyable than the first time I watched it. Great TV is great innit :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 08, 2013, 11:05:22 AM Prison break season 1 is one of the best opening seasons I've ever seen. Does get shit, gets ok then shit again. Dexter gets very samey. Agree with this. Season 1 is pretty good, then it's all downhill with the odd episode that's pretty good. It's all watchable, but it's not up there in my top ten by a long way. Never seen Arrow, it didn't appeal to me for some reason, probably as I was watching too man other programs when it started to just missed it. SOA is great, I've loved all of that. Just flicking in there because no one has mentioned it for an age now, have you seen Entourage Mr Shoelace? I guess you have but if you haven't......... Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 08, 2013, 01:47:16 PM Nope not seen it, hear great things, I'm a bit of a late bloomer with the golden age if US tv (WAL etc)

Final few episodes of the latest SoA season next, then it's off to see what's next on my list.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOgS8gTATv8 That's different. When I say 'TV show' I mean HBO style boxset drama. The Simpsons is a cartoon. I also really like 'For the love of dogs' presented by Paul O'Grady almost as much but that's in the 'camp light entertainment presenter showing us dogs who have had it hard but then get great owners' category. I'm surprised you were unaware of this very clear classification system that I just made up on the spot.

Brilliant in so many levels. I'm not really much of a fan of cringe humour but there's some of that going on and they're doing it well. There's lots of other subtle and lightning fast dialogue in there too, which is more my thing, plus the characters are beautifully crafted.

The most thoroughly vile character I've seen in a long time, but still hilarious.
Paul was a lot of fun as a straight psycho, but as a more sympathetic closet homosexual he's been brilliant. Dan is amazing. Not used much in this series, but not been much chance to I guess. Shelly is a lovely character and you really feel for her when Laura curs her down. And of course Steve and Beccie are great. Peripheral characters all work well to.

It is the stupidest show ever. Literally every episode = criminal breaks the law - Sheriff roughs them up without doing any investigation - Sheriff has sex with random hot woman - Sheriff beats the criminals up again - end. I really like it though, as far as stupid goes it's lots of fun. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: bobAlike on December 31, 2013, 11:05:19 AM I agree Banshee was so redic but compelling to watch. Roll on season 2.
Just about to finish SoA season 1. I am enjoying it but after every episode I feel like there's something missing. Also hate the way each episode ends.

Default assumption? Sherlock? Wash your mouth out with soapy water :D It is a possibility, definitely. They might be the oldest regiment in terms of serving the Crown (Coldstream Guards used to serve Parliament so there is dispute over who is really older), but I'd imagine a Welsh Guard would not want to be called a Grenadier. I'd also be amazed if the soldier hadn't included his regiment in the email. How else would they have known where to go? Seems more likely it was a continuity error created by a late change in the wardrobe than anything else. At least to me.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on January 07, 2014, 01:44:51 AM Just saw the end of an old episode of Bullseye.
For the uninitiated - or anyone under 28 - the last game is that the final pair have six darts to get 101 or more to win the grand prize. Non-dart player always goes first. Up steps yer man...Tony Green calls them out: "Twenty That's in One And Twenty gives you 41". Ok, so this is the lowest total whereby the club darts player in the pair can just hit three singles to win. Three treble twenties and they win the grand prize. Easy. Twenty... Twenty... Five!! He had the Mardle Drift at the last minute! And they would have won a speedboat to take home to Batley as well! Brutal.

I only ask out of interest. FWIW, as much as I play my face about it, this stuff doesn't actually affect my enjoyment of the show.

This one was fine but I agree I do prefer things to be right and take pleasure in things being correctly researched and integrated. I will give an example of getting tilted to satisfy you, though. It's a good one. I listened this afternoon at work to yesterday morning's 6music breakfast show on my iPlayer (lots of good music and good banter. Thoroughly recommend). The presenter, Shaun Keaveney, isn't a footy fan, but commented about the Czech Republic. He started by saying he remembered a striker in Euro 96 who had long hair but couldn't recall his name. I say to myself "Karol Poborsky and not really a striker" Then he says "Didnt they win Euro 96? Think it was on golden goal in the final" I mean who doesn't remember losing to Germany on pens and the Germans winning it at Wembley?! Anyway, next he says he still can't remember the name of the Czech player. "I keep thinking of Stoichkov, but I know he's Romanian" That's Hristo Stoichkov, who led Bulgaria to the latter stages of USA 94. He plays a record. I reach for my 'phone, about to text in to the show to put him right. Then I remember the show went out about 28 hours ago. He comes back to say he's had about a thousand texts from people telling him it was Poborsky, Germany won Euro96 and Stoichkov was Bulgarian. All sorted. Good. So he puts on a song for the bed while he talks over the next segment of the show. The song is Carnival de Paris by Dario G (dance fans will remember this song). Now, that was the tune for the world cup in France 98! Surely everyone remembers the song for the tournament in Euro96??!

Great show, and very disappointing that they only made the 2 seasons. James Purefoy was excellent as Mark Antony, Titus Pullo was a boss, and what a sneaky little rat Posca was :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: titaniumbean on January 11, 2014, 02:35:06 PM posca ftw baby.

12 episodes so you can "see" the end of the plot from hour 1, and far more time for the writers to create a plausible plot not something so typically back & forth. Interested.

DAMN, forgot weekly wipe was on. straight on catch up when I get home Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on January 22, 2014, 08:26:20 AM Finally got round to watching Sherlock. Have all three on Sky+ and was looking forward to it after hearing the responses on here.
Got to go against the grain though and say I thought it was terrible. in fact after watching the 1st, I'm deleting the other 2 unwatched. Elemetary>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sherlock I think the stories flow much better, without all the over stylised presentation. Miller>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cumberbatch I like the eccentric, self aware, and sometimes even fragile nature of Miller's character far more than the cocky, self assured Cumberbatch one. The deductions in passing that Miller's Sherlock makes are carefully thought out and explained. Cumberbatch's Sherlock makes seemingly random deductions and blurts them out as if he's some sort of clairvoyant and we're expected to just accept them. Lui>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Freeman even though I wasn't sure about the Joan Watson concept at the very beginning, I think her relationship with Miller is much more believable than between Freeman and Cumberbatch. I really like Martin Freeman, but I think he's doing the best he can with poor material here. Even Rhys Ifans crushes Mark Gatiss' Mycroft, and I can't usually stand him. I thought the Moriaty in Elementary was very good too, while the one in Sherlock was irritating and not in the least bit menacing, though that's clearly what he was going for. Even the police sidekicks in Elementary are a mile better than the ones in Sherlock. GG BBC Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on January 22, 2014, 08:34:27 AM I would accept not as strong as the first series, but you can't genuinely...I mean, surely you don't think...but...obviously you accept that the American version would be....I mean with the cheeky references to the stories and...?

I seem to remember thinking it was ok, But not fantastic. With S3E1 I just found myself checking my phone and longing for it to be over, constantly fighting the urge to shout out "oh, come on, that's stupid" and frequently failing. Decided another 3 hours of my life could be spent Far more productively :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on January 22, 2014, 10:44:47 AM Last night on one of the satellite channels they showed A Scandal in Belgravia (the first one from season 2, with Irene Adler) and I was struck by just how much better it was than the most recent Sherlocks.
It was far better paced, less hectic and had a real level of actual character interaction between Sherlock and Adler. Made me realise just how tricksy the most recent Sherlocks were - Moffat's turning them into Doctor Who episodes. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on January 22, 2014, 01:20:07 PM I've ploughed through four seasons of the Sopranos so far in 2014, I can see what all the fuss is about. Hasn't yet upended Breaking Bad or the Wire from my top spots but its in the same ball park for sure.
Pondering Friday Night Lights as my next show after that.

(http://media.247sports.com/Uploads/Boards/94/146094/398436.gif) yeh I mean all the Lui > Freeman stuff just had to be a level. tbf Guy Ritchie did create the best Sherlock ever... Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on January 22, 2014, 02:44:04 PM Not at all.
Lucy Lui has never been a favourite if mine and as I said, I had my doubts about the Joan Watson concept at first, but I think it works really well. I like Her role of sober companion and apprentice detective much more than the biographer and liability in the field that Freeman is playing. While I vastly prefer Freeman to Lui as an actor, in a Joan v John matchup, Joan wins it hands down for me. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on January 22, 2014, 07:40:43 PM I feel like there shouldn't be plot holes in Sherlock, it should be better than that, but maybe I was hoping for too much.
True Detective, new HBO, expected another seen it all before serial killer show maybe done in a classy way, early Dex mixed with BE perhaps but it's way way better than that. Only 2 eps in, lots of deep stuff, 99.9% of which I missed of course. It's got a slightly Twin Peaksie style to it and is excellent and well worth getting into. Musketeers, know a relation of one of the actors, really wanted to like this but it's just the same old pony really. HBO crushes the Beeb at telling stories. Not even half as good as Dogtanian imo :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: titaniumbean on January 22, 2014, 07:43:40 PM This just denotes greatness

"tits as far as the eye can see" "wonderful to see great tits adapt to a new habitat so quickly" "great tits don't like to be man handled" "tomorrow we focus on our black cock" "today we get highly excited by a big black cock" All of these passed without a murmour and then last night someone lost their composure due to something being found in their "front pond".

Brilliant stuff. In two minds as to whether to watch this. On the one hand I watched The Killing and really didn't enjoy it. It dragged and was just hard work and put me off the whole Scando thing but then someone persuaded me to watch Borgen and I absolutely adored it. Given this am I likely to enjoy the Bridge or not? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tonji on February 02, 2014, 03:41:56 PM hey reds,
Personally really enjoyed The Killing series 1, enjoyed the slow pace, character & psychologically driven plot. Not watched Borgen, meant to, but somehow passed me by. The Bridge, really is made by the two leads, Saga & Martin. Great performances. The plot is ludicrous at times, but had me hooked. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on February 03, 2014, 04:41:06 PM Mr Reds.
Whatever you do do not do what I did. I had heard that The Bridge was excellent and watched it and thought it dreadful. Only problem was I watched the US version and it was simply awful. I think I will try Borgen soon. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on February 03, 2014, 07:51:58 PM .

Speaking of which, nearly finished the Sopranos, currently my top list is: 1. Breaking Bad 2. The Wire 3. 24 4. Lost 5.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on February 04, 2014, 04:33:38 PM It's a shame that only America makes good TV...apparently ::) There is some great British TV from over the years. Our Friends in the North, Boys From the Blackstuff, the original House of Cards, Queer as Folk, This Life, Shameless (first few years) were all excellent and stuff like Cracker, Prime Suspect, Life on Mars, The Street, Broadchurch etc are all perfectly watchable. I also LOVE Skins and it would prob be in my top ten ever but appreciate that isn't shared by everyone. That said I have noticed on this trip that I literally cannot find anything to watch at all. The only thing I have enjoyed recently is Uncle. It just feels as though there is an overwhelming tide of reality crap and no investment into anything ambitious. I suppose you could argue Peaky Blinders was somewhat ambitious if ultimately a bit of a mess but it is the only thing I can think of recently that has been anywhere close to the US shows. Would echo Hectors views on Love/Hate......v v good. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: KarmaDope on February 04, 2014, 07:44:41 PM Skins was bloody awesome the first 2 seasons.

I did enjoy Luther for my Brit shows though. def agree for drama, america wins at the moment. still prefer the oddball comedies that come from britain like spaced, League of gents, green wing etc to american polished sitcoms that just try to please everyone. i expect there are some good off kilter US comedies shows out there, it's just i'm not aware of them. that said the league and its always sunny in philadelphia have both occupied a few days of my time recently...

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: david3103 on February 05, 2014, 07:32:16 PM It's a shame that only America makes good TV...apparently ::) There is some great British TV from over the years. Our Friends in the North, Boys From the Blackstuff, the original House of Cards, Queer as Folk, This Life, Shameless (first few years) were all excellent and stuff like Cracker, Prime Suspect, Life on Mars, The Street, Broadchurch etc are all perfectly watchable. I also LOVE Skins and it would prob be in my top ten ever but appreciate that isn't shared by everyone. That said I have noticed on this trip that I literally cannot find anything to watch at all. The only thing I have enjoyed recently is Uncle. It just feels as though there is an overwhelming tide of reality crap and no investment into anything ambitious. I suppose you could argue Peaky Blinders was somewhat ambitious if ultimately a bit of a mess but it is the only thing I can think of recently that has been anywhere close to the US shows. Would echo Hectors views on Love/Hate......v v good. Uncle confirmed as being quality, Babylon (Ch 4) starting soon looks promising as does Inside No9 (BBC).

Stupid, really, as there are so many more successful programmes, but this was just a superb balance between cutting satire, silly humour, catchphrases, running stories and the sensitive stuff.

Another quality US series that is worth checking out is Rectify. It is only 6 episodes in but it is excellent. It is slow moving but the acting is top class and the characters are developing nicely. If Banshee is your thing then you will hate it, but I am really enjoying it.

apparently if you watch closely enough you can get 85% of the story from just the first episode although I think you would need to have a Stephen Hawking level of intelligence and a deep interest in Weird Fiction like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_in_Yellow anyway, enjoy!

Almost Twin-Peaksy in its depiction of a murder investigation, but grounded enough to make you question if you're watching the programme you think you are, or whether True Detective is an entirely different genre of series.

Watched Dallas buyer's club too over the weekend, and MM is fast becoming one of my favourite actors, pretty hard to believe when everything he did prior to the Lincoln Lawyer was complete ball sack.

There is so much great TV on at the moment that you can easily miss out on stuff that isnt absolutely to your taste. On another note I have started watching Line of Duty Series 2 which I am loving but I didn't watch Series 1. Does anyone that has watched both think that there is a chance that something from Series 1 is going to come back and be relevant in series 2?

If he gets to the end of both and keeps the same opinion will probs just gg the relationship. Surely he's the only person in the world that holds this opinion ?

I actually see his point with season 1, like most of the great shows the payoff comes after you invest the time in it (ditto the wire and recently house of cards).

I'm with him on this and I watched every episode of both. There are a lot of programmes miles better than BreakingBad. Can't wait to finish HOC then get into True Detective. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on February 26, 2014, 08:04:43 PM I just wasn't taken with 24 at all. I ws mildly interested to see what happened and that was enough to keep me going through s1 but I was never watching more (and I watched every season of Dexter!!). That said whilst I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Breaking Bad they didn't grip me. I had the first three seasons on DVD and I didn't watch S2 until about 3 months after I watched S1 so it was something of a slow burner. I do also think it is starting to get overhyped a tad. It is definitely one of the best TV shows ever made but it doesn't touch the real greats for depth imo but I am a bit of a sucker for stuff like reading between the lines of books characters are reading etc which is why True Detective is so great.

I really, really liked Breaking Bad, but I can't disagree with Milli on this one. I definitely preferred the Wire, and Sopranos to Breaking Bad. Thinking about it, I enjoyed Friday Night Lights more than Breaking Bad :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: horseplayer on February 26, 2014, 08:59:02 PM Friday Night Lights for the top spot!
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on February 26, 2014, 09:26:15 PM Yeah, off the top of my head. better than breaking bad drama series list = the wire, the shield, sopranos, game of thrones, walking dead, Boardwalk empire, 24, Dexter, The Newsroom. Probs loads which I've forgotten but you get the gist.
Still never watched Friday night lights. Everyone always tells me it's class. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on February 26, 2014, 09:52:19 PM The thing with 24 is partly (IMO) down to the fact that there wasn't other programs like that back then. It was the first program that I can recall in this format. If it was released now I'd probably agree as there is lots of other choice, but back then it really was epic.
All those years ago in 2001 lol Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Amatay on February 26, 2014, 09:56:31 PM Breaking Bad I have yet to get beyond episode 2 in complete boredom.

Me and SaraM chucking to ourselves "he's in on it"..."she's de finely in on it". And all these time references get a chuckle too. "I'll be there in 10 minutes" (cut to commercial) "He'll be awake in 30 minutes" (in time for the end on the episode) "You have me for 24 hours" (the whole season then...oh, tricked us, you're dead) We only recently binge watched Breaking Bad right through and I think TV is ruined. 24 is enjoyable enough so far, but it's no BB Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: The Baron on March 02, 2014, 01:05:07 AM Finished BB not long ago. V v v enjoyable.... After season 2! Very odd flashes of brilliance before then but too few and far between. Not all everyone made it out to be for me. Still liked it though but really had to persevere.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on March 02, 2014, 11:37:06 AM I would like to thank whoever recommended Borgen ( probably redarmi ). Really enjoying it, West Wing meets Romano Criminale with hot women in it too.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TightEnd on March 02, 2014, 12:00:07 PM hector, have you watched "TheBridge" too?
More excellent Scandi drama I love Borgen too. great scripts. Like a wetter West Wing. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on March 02, 2014, 04:52:56 PM The Bridge is on my list. By mistake I watched the American version- a total pile of pants.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on March 11, 2014, 01:25:31 PM Just started watching True Detective. Struggling with the accent and the mumbling if I'm honest. Looks ok otherwise. Maybe my ears will tune into it over time. McConnaughey does get mumbly, not helped by his accent or the fact he's doing 'Christian Bale as Batman' whispery-growling instead of talking. A few times I've had to spin back to rewatch a line I've missed. Ironic that as soon as I talk it up on here, episode 6 was a bit meh, which is a worry as there's only 2 left. So, True Detective has finished now and, unfortunately, the last 3 episodes didn't live up to the first five. Still worth watching, but ended up merely very good rather than OMGAmazeballs.

Ever seen Columbo? Every episode: 1. See the crime being committed 2. Columbo arrives 3. Columbo interviews the culprit without seemingly knowing it was them who did it 4. Culprit is helpful and pleasant 5. Columbo asks "just one more question" 6. Culprit still happy to answer it 7. Columbo turns up at culprit's house at a really inconvenient time (during a party/middle of night/during a heavy shower) 8. Culprit starts to lose patience 9. Columbo apologises. 10. Culprit says it's ok but really can't help any more. 11. Columbo has one more question and explains he can't understand how whoever it was who did the crime was able to commit the crime the way they did 12. Culprit makes a suggestion 13. Columbo explains why that couldn't have happened and then announces that this means the only person who could have committed the crime was the culprit 14. Culprit gets angry 15. Culprit gets into the police car waiting outside and acknowledges defeat to Columbo's brilliance. It's still brilliant.

There seems to be a dearth of good TV at the moment. I think I have watched all of the recent "classics" though I haven't done any of the dutch Borgen etc. I don't mind watching subtitled stuff once it's on, but it does put me off choosing it in the first place.. Have taken my time starting True Detective but will rinse it over next couple of days most like. Recommendations: The good wife: v easy to watch. Hello Ladies (Karl Pilkington sitcom set in LA); v funny That Rake seems ok but it's a remake of an Australian show which is supposed to be better. Can't wait for 24 in May! .

It's all about how TV became amazing thanks to HBO and AMC and shows like the Sopranos, Wire and Breaking Bad. Full of spoilers but it's amazing. The guys who created the Wire and Sopranos are as interesting as the characters they created, and so much of each show is based on things that really happened in their lives. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on March 28, 2014, 04:37:57 PM Yes that is a good book.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Mark_Porter on March 28, 2014, 07:49:04 PM Any 'How I Met Your Mother' fans out there?
In my opinion, it's been a poor last series overall, lots of very meh episodes and a terrible premise of running it across one weekend. Saying that I love the show and characters. It is the last episode next week, a 1 hour special. Just seeing the trailer for it at the end of this weeks episode gave me a big lump in the throat.. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: titaniumbean on March 28, 2014, 08:22:01 PM I've watched a whole bunch of it and obv loves barney but it's very easy watching rather than incredible viewing.

This week we had to wind back the conversation between Rust and Laurie half a dozen times, then gave up and had to work out how to put subtitles on. Did no one in the editing suite think "hmm, not sure that's audible." Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: david3103 on April 02, 2014, 07:40:59 PM Anyone watching W1A?

Had never heard of 2012 but started watching it yesterday so thanks for that. Is pretty good. Wasn't as taken with W1a last night tbh. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on April 03, 2014, 02:51:25 PM W1A has been a bit of a let down for me.
Too many of the characters are just one-joke people (posh 'yeah, ok, great' intern, 'Welsh 'I'm not being funny but' woman, the bald guy with glasses) with a one joke which is rubbish. What the writers obviously did was replicate a load of Siobhans, thinking that would be funny in and of itself. What they missed is that Jessica Hynes is an amazing comic actress who turned that one-joke character and made her hilarious. The writers then shot themselves in the foot completely by getting Siobhan back in this series, immediately showing up everyone else to be the cardboard cut-outs they are. It'll only get worse next week when Sally comes back and we get Olivia Colman outacting people.

Given I hadn't watched 2012 I watched a few episodes of w1a and it was funny. Yesterday having watched 3 episodes of 2012 just before I watched W1a it just seemed a bit one dimensional. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: david3103 on April 03, 2014, 03:37:00 PM Something that may have slipped under the radar for many is Bluestone 42.
A bomb-disposal squad in Afghanistan with some bits of black humour alongside some less cerebral stuff. Kind of British M*A*S*H for the current world, although that may be over-egging it a little. Anyway, Season 2 just finished but I'd recommend looking out Season 1 before viewing Season 2. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on April 03, 2014, 06:40:35 PM If you like Bluestone 42 I think you will like 'Gary Tank Commander'. It's pretty much the Scottish version of B42 but much much funnier imo.

Thought it was one of the most horribly written, hammy delivered things I'd seen in years.

It's about a Russian couple who move to the US to operate as spies. It is set in the early 80's and has the same kind of feel to it as Homeland but not as tense as that. So far they are currently showing up to episode 7 of the second series but it is a decent drama.

I'm mulling the sort of foam-spitting rant I tend to reserve for a piece of Kyle Walker defending or when George Galloway is on TV. It includes asking why they've added the background music from the 80s TV show You Bet.

I'm on hiatus, plan to return. I was blown away by the pilot but not so much by the next five or six episodes. Felt they blew their load too early. I felt the same eventually, but it took me 3 or 4 seasons to get to that point. By the end I was trying to work out if Heroes, or The Shield was more realistic :) Friday Night Lights is my favourite show ever, so for that reason I would suggest going Oz-Deadwood-FNL Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on April 11, 2014, 12:56:01 PM Oz is great, bit different and very violent.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on April 11, 2014, 02:33:30 PM Feel much the same as Barry about The Shield. I have still got about 2/3rds of the last series to watch and, whilst I like it, I like it in the way that I like something like Life on Mars or Prime Suspect. It wiles away a few hours but it doesn't blow me away which is a disappointment after the pilot which was incredible. The odd individual episode lives up to the expectation but not as a whole.
As for Barry's dilemma.....that's a bit like having a room with Shakira, Beyoncé and Selena Gomez in it and having to decide who to have a crack at next, actually on reflection I think I would rather have Barry's option. Deadwood>FNL>Oz for me but they are all incredible. Oz has dated slightly for me now but everything you have watched over the last 15 years or so and loved owes a huge debt to it and it is still very, very good.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: titaniumbean on April 12, 2014, 12:53:40 AM Oz is great, bit different and very violent. This. Oz is not your run of the mill show, it's very good apart from a small blip in quality where they were forced to bosh out some episodes during a writers strike to fill the schedule. Otherwise consistently excellent. Deadwood is brilliant too. Shame they couldn't make more of it. <3 Lovejoy Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on April 12, 2014, 01:14:43 AM Just finished the latest season of Justified, and thought it was pretty decent.

It has some great character and is certainly one to watch at some point. 7 out of 10 from me.

It has some great character and is certainly one to watch at some point. 7 out of 10 from me. <3 Fi Chucks also great. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on April 16, 2014, 08:05:09 AM Just finished True Detective.
Started with such promise, but for me, under-delivered massively. We never really got to the bottom of the bad guy or what was going on, or indeed, who else was involved. As if Rust would go all spiritual at the end?! The mumbling got worse and worse. At some points, I was just trying to work it out from the pictures, and gave up on the words altogether. Too much watching people figure stuff out and Google stuff. Last episode was like watching CSI meets Catfish. Very disappointing. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on April 17, 2014, 09:05:13 AM So I'm after yet another series to watch by myself when the Mrs goes to bed and last night I started Criminal Minds. Thought it was pretty good, pretty serious compared to the Burn Notice that I've spent the last month or two watching, it's a proper police drama. Has Forest Whitaker in who I quite like, but he's no Chuck Finlay. Early days yet so won't give a score out of ten but it's a good start. I may keep looking for something a bit more light hearted in the mean time.
I'm sure I saw on a Sky channel last night that the 200th show was about to be on. Should keep me going for a while.

Martin Freeman could be the next great Walter White 'Mr Chips becomes Scarface' character? I know that is not in keeping with the movie, but I like the idea.

I find it an absolute delight. The interactions between Brydon and Coogan playing exaggerated versions of themselves are incredibly well acted and seem so natural.

Double Jack baby. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on May 07, 2014, 08:21:55 AM I'm on season 1 of 24
started really well, but seemed to get a bit silly as it went on. I mean amnesia?? Really?? Feels like a 13 show season dragged out to 24 episodes to fit the format. Does that improve as the series go on? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on May 07, 2014, 10:37:33 AM If you think 24 is a bit silly in season 1 then it's not going to get less silly any time soon.
I am really glad that the new series started with a double bill because most of the first episode was among the worst television I've ever seen - absolute 'by the book' 24 with a load of characters we'd not seen before who were all textbook stereotypes. Second episode picked up and it's back to season 7/8 levels of silliness. Was a little bit off-putting watching it all take place in London - 'That's not East London - that's clearly Shepherds Bush Market', 'How did they get to West Ealing in 20 minutes from there?' Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on May 07, 2014, 10:57:27 AM Yeah, as Andrew said, it's still pure cheese but that's a big part of the attraction imo.

I think you're right, but I can't help but feel that things the Presidents daughter being in a coma state for three years or whatever he said or maybe the Chloe situation is/was something that happened? I can't even remember the family they say Jack killed, I just wish I remember. I have a bad memory for things like this, not need to know but good to know. I'll get up to date and try and find out a tl;dr version of the last series somewhere on the net.

There is a LOT of really bad TV It was disappointing, but I think you may be exaggerating just a little :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Cf on June 06, 2014, 12:07:00 PM I liked every season of Dexter, for balance.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on June 06, 2014, 12:29:14 PM By the end of season 8, I kind of expected the ridiculous ending, and wasn't going to let that detract from what was on the most part, a great show.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on June 08, 2014, 10:12:31 PM I have really enjoyed Fargo, every episode has been a surprise in some way and very funny. I expected it to be a one off thing but hope they can find a second series.

I expected it to be a one off thing but hope they can find a second series. The best series on TV by far. Also caught up with Hannibal which I'm loving and Ray Donovan which is surprisingly very good, especially Jo Voight's character who is instantly dislikeable. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on June 10, 2014, 05:04:40 PM I enjoyed Ray Donovan, looking forward to season 2 in July
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: millidonk on June 12, 2014, 09:11:47 AM Not 100% sure whats going on, but really enjoying Penny Dreadful so far. Any other takers?

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Vinodh on June 24, 2014, 09:05:00 AM Just started homeland- pretty engrossing stuff. 6 episodes in. Enjoying it so far I started watching homeland last night as well. I am down to 8 episodes. Simily amazing thriller. Really surprised that we dont have a seperate thread for the series! Heard some of the producers are same of 24. Definitely better than 24 imo. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Amatay on June 24, 2014, 11:48:41 AM First 2 seasons are brilliant
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on June 26, 2014, 03:25:38 PM Thanks to the people who mentioned Fargo, well worth a watch. Thinking about watching Rectify meant to be great but very slow, not sure I'll get on with it, anyone seen it?

I am more into thrillers/politics. Please rate your best ever tv shows in the past decade( apart from the above mentioned obviosuly) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on June 30, 2014, 12:19:03 PM Breaking Bad is best tv program ever made.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Vinodh on June 30, 2014, 01:09:30 PM yes, Heard about breaking bad.. watched the first episode, really liked it, when I went on to the second - my thought was it was very slow paced... may be I am wrong, probably it might be picking up just then judging by the level of appreciation. will pick it up again where I left:))

I thought that nothing would surpass Breaking Bad but I think GOT is really close. There's some WTF moments in GOT that I've watched and haven't forgotten about. For that reason I think it might just edge it.
But yeh, defo stick with Breaking Bad Vindoh, after the first season you'll be like: (http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140423034814/roblox-apocalypse-rising/images/2/2a/Anchorman-well-that-escalated-quickly.jpg) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Vinodh on June 30, 2014, 03:18:07 PM Agree that Breaking Bad + GOT are best two programmes ever.

Took me a while to get into it but absolutely love it now. The humour in it is quite odd and I think it's one of those love or hate type deals (like Napoleon Dynamite), but would recommend giving it a try.
Recency bias ITT. Absolutely not, the episode I will never forget is the Red Wedding, and I watched Breaking Bad pretty much from start to finish after it had ended. Don't get me wrong, there's some moments in BB (one coming up for Vindoh soon that I remember clearly), but for me not as shocking or unexpected as some of the GOT twists. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: titaniumbean on June 30, 2014, 05:07:07 PM Stumbled across Person of Interest.

Basically watched the whole first series today (it got me through 330 games ;D) and really enjoyed what I saw on it. Loved the part where they arrested the NBA player and were fighting over who got to go to the bookies first. Also the bit where they were looking for a mugger who was working with a stripper to get people into and alleyway and using it as an excuse to try and shag strippers. Incredible scenes.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on July 02, 2014, 11:29:10 PM Also new HBO starts Sunday, The Leftovers. 2% of the population of the world disappear, getting good reviews already http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/review-hbos-the-leftovers-a-tour-de-force-of-devastation-and-grief Just watched the first one of these. You can pretty much guess what it's like from the fact that one of the guys behind it was also behind Lost - lots of slightly weird stuff going on which (because it's the first episode) they can get away with explaining nothing, basically throwing stuff at the wall and you can't help but suspect that it will all fall apart at some point. Very reminiscent of FlashForward, which very quickly turned into one of the crappiest TV series ever. I'll still give it a chance as it's got Christopher Ecclestone in it, along with Ann Dowd (who is a very good actress who really should have got an Oscar nomination a couple of years ago for a film called Compliance) but I'm prepared for it to get frustrating quickly. After Lost we're not going to fall for this kind of shit any more.

absolutely brutal, but very good. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on August 08, 2014, 09:54:27 AM Not seen this series of Utopia. I watched the last one and thought it was OK until the last few episodes then for me, it went really downhill. I though the story ended up being disappointing for what we'd just sat through weeks of watching.
Finished S1 of Person of Interest last night, quite like even with Reece's cheesy acting but do enjoy the guy from Lost. Thank you for recommending Bob. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on August 08, 2014, 11:52:02 AM I agree with the first season. started way stronger than it finished.
season 2 explains a lot right from the off, and is very good. I'd recommend giving it a crack if you can catch up. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on August 12, 2014, 10:41:16 PM http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1909015/

It's still funny, but I'm not sure how much longer they can go on.
League is still pretty fresh, so I reckon that has a good few seasons to run yet. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on September 02, 2014, 11:47:05 PM (http://24.media.tumblr.com/c2f8d351f808d0845f802247260ec818/tumblr_mkwyrrZHgY1s5i6cso1_250.gif)

Will console myself with the league. Netflix's Bojack Horseman has had me chuckling. Very silly/juvenile humour, right up my street.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on September 15, 2014, 10:09:22 PM I'm not as big a fan as some, but it's definitely worth persevering with.

For those that like their TV a bit arty and with lots of symbolism etc (The Mad Men/Sopranos school I suppose) I thought the 3rd episode of this seasons Masters of Sex (think it has just shown in UK) was up there with the best. Never thought a subtitled programme would be my must watch tv each week but abso love Gomorrah. Means I actually have to put laptop down for an hour. Riveting. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on September 23, 2014, 10:55:02 PM True Detective news out today...

Swingers is the best film ever made and Chef is awesome. But seriously, people would have laughed at matthew mcconaughey and in the end it became a career role for him, so I think Vaughn might be ok.

Just watched 'Crossbones', which is based on Blackbeard, and has John Malkovich in the lead role. Only 1 season, but was a good show, and the head to head with the other lead character 'Tom Lowe' was pretty good viewing.

It's like the writers had got to 3pm on a Friday and added some filler. Shame they finished AR off without us seeing the end. I believe he died in a card game IRL, in what could have been a well-rounded few scenes. All I can think is it's on the Cutting Room floor somewhere. The van Alden character is about two series past its use by date. Getting beyond contrived now. I am two episodes in to the last series BTW. Rest is on the hard disk recording system.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: HutchGF on October 15, 2014, 04:30:17 PM Is anybody up-to-date with Gomorrah? Love Gomorrah! Anyone watching American Horror Story? The clown in the opening episode of season 4 is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen on TV. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on October 15, 2014, 05:03:13 PM Is anybody up-to-date with Gomorrah? Yes....it is good enough for me to be torn between excitement that next week is the finale and sadness for the same reason. I always find that kind of empty feeling you get at the end is a sign of a really good show. I remember when Dexter finished I was just very, very relieved. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 15, 2014, 09:04:19 PM Wishing away the week, so I can crack on with SoA!
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: VBlue on October 16, 2014, 09:55:36 AM There was a character transformation about 2/3rds of the way-in which I am still struggling to accept, but otherwise I have loved Gomorrah. Did about five episodes in three days which is the measure for me.
Il Capo dei Capi is better I think. Highly recommended. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tonji on October 17, 2014, 01:39:53 PM Anyone been watching The Detectorists on BBC4. A funny/sad little gem on TV.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04kf095 Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: redarmi on October 18, 2014, 12:13:05 AM Just randomly flicked over to Sky Atlantic where GoT was on and it was a scene from s2 of Yygritte bent over with Jon Snow about to behead her and she says "strike hard and true Jon Snow" and then he just can't do it.....just wonderful, wonderful stuff and you could probably just dip into almost any scene in 3 seasons and it be equally great. Made me wonder how manyother shows would pass that test. I can watch any episode of the Sopranos and love it and feel largely the same about Mad Men but weirdly, even though I loved it more at the time, the Wire definitely doesnt pass that test and when I watch it now there are only certain episodes I would definitely watch over if it was on.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 18, 2014, 01:51:25 PM Sopranos is the obv one, and for me Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!

Just watched first episode.. certainly no TWD ( but what is) slightly formulaic but decent production values and looks like plenty of hard fast and messy killing..anyone else catch this? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TightEnd on October 19, 2014, 06:00:14 PM Gotham anyone? First episode was a mix, but might stick with it
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on October 19, 2014, 06:10:46 PM Gotham anyone? First episode was a mix, but might stick with it Meh, grudgingly sticking with it since I love Batman (though Ben Afflexk may change that). Don't like the lead, don't find the level of corruption in Gotham plausible, dont buy Pertwee as Alfred (though he may grow on me). The guy who plays the Penguin and Jada Pinkett Smith are the best things about it so far.

I will watch almost anything and enjoy, but i too have watched 5/6 episodes of The Wire and feel exactly the same. Its ok, but its not the be all, end all the way some paint it. Maybe I'm giving up too early? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on October 20, 2014, 09:16:11 PM Probably took me most of the season to get into it properly. It wasn't until I understood the different police departments and how the characters related to each other that I started enjoying it properly (For example I had no idea why everyone who worked with him hated McNulty so much)

That said it is slow in periods but over the 5 series arc it is very rewarding.

Roll on ;D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on October 22, 2014, 11:25:49 PM Another cracking episode of SoA. Couple of notes from this season. It wasn't long ago Bobby went Nomad because of all the killing and out of control stuff with the IRA but he seems pretty cool with the random murders that seem to be happening this season, I wonder why? Also, where the bloody hell did they get these bikes from, they're God damn awful. SoA's Harleys must be the worst design ever and that hideous orange contraption that one of the Los Bastardos (or whatever they are) is just one of the worst bikes I've ever seen. I thought it was me at first but I've just flicked back to a season 2 episode and the Dynas in that we're pretty sweet. These must be the one's no one else wants. Just awful.
Oh and I don't really understand the hate for Juice from the lads. I know he did sort of betray them but it's not really that bad a betrayal is it? I would have thought Chibs would have been more understanding too, given that a) he know's about Juice's mental health from before and b) didn't he give him the drugs in the first place? Personally I think it's a bit OTT, hope he finds his way back on side, I like Juice. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on October 22, 2014, 11:34:06 PM Ah it was Bobby that gave Juice the drugs.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 23, 2014, 12:15:12 AM Think it's an accumulation of things with Juice, and grassing when off his nut, was the final straw.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on October 23, 2014, 08:12:00 AM Just watched the first episode of the new series of American Horror story. Initially thought Jessica Lange's German accent was a bit sketchy, until Kathy Bates opened her mouth, then I forgot all about Jessica Lange, or anything else. I could barely concentrate.
What the hell was that?? seems to flip back and forth mid-sentence between a southern Louisiana drawl and a Mary Popping cock-er-nee. It was absolutely terrible. Series looks like it could be a good one other than that. Just hope I can concentrate on it with that going on. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on October 23, 2014, 08:21:52 AM Apparently it's a Baltimore accent, but badly done / over done

I'm in the middle of moving house so sort of all over the place with my TV schedule.

Kmac - Yes it's worth watching but don't expect to be blown away. It's good but some episodes particularly season 2 are just awful and almost put me off for life. It's all got a bit crazy now and the story doesn't matter anywhere near as much as the mindless violence for me. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on October 23, 2014, 05:59:28 PM I would have thought Chibs would have been more understanding too, given that a) he know's about Juice's mental health from before and b) didn't he give him the drugs in the first place? Personally I think it's a bit OTT, hope he finds his way back on side, I like Juice. Imagine yourself at the SAMCRO table for a moment....... One of your fellow Sons has just announced that he has mental issues and is a little unstable.... Do you: a) Offer him a shoulder to cry on when he needs it and possibly go along to a few support groups with him. b) Introduce him to Mr Mayhem. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on October 23, 2014, 06:07:34 PM I know but they're happy to spread the brotherly love around most of the time. How many times an episode does someone say "I love you brother" or "you're my family". Chibs saved him when he tried to hang himself, that would have been a better time to disown him if they were going too. Just thought Juice deserved more.
It's great to watch Kmac, as Mr Pie says, it's not setting the world on fire and the story is pretty lol at times. Also the acting is pretty terrible but it's certainly a good crack to watch. There's lots going on and you don't need to think about it, it just happens and it's pretty violent at times.

Not sure I agree it is as good as Gomorrah but pretty good nevertheless I'm into the old school Sicilian Cosa Nostra back story. I was half-way through reading the book that inspires the film and was starting to get bogged down, thinking how great if they made a TV version! What about that Gomorrah ending though? Wow. And I have now forgotten about that character transformation and bought in to the rebirth.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on November 06, 2014, 10:02:48 AM Honestly, I didn't think Kathy Bates' accent in American Horror Story could get any worse, but she was absolutely terrible this week.
When in conversation with the chap with the terrible posh English accent, that would normally be distractingly bad, she made his sound passable. Surely someone in the cast or crew could have pointed out how ridiculous she sounded and maybe try something else.

I'm sure I read somewhere when he first got offered the part he didn't even know what it was. When asked why he accepted it, he said something along the lines of It's Scorsese! This is the bit that spoilt it for me. To give them a storyline they created this gap. Whereas I'm sure the previous series just pretty much continued with no significant time elapse. Obv agree on the Stephen Graham comments. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on November 07, 2014, 05:55:59 PM Honestly, I didn't think Kathy Bates' accent in American Horror Story could get any worse, but she was absolutely terrible this week. When in conversation with the chap with the terrible posh English accent, that would normally be distractingly bad, she made his sound passable. Surely someone in the cast or crew could have pointed out how ridiculous she sounded and maybe try something else. Haven't started watching this yet, but will keep an eye out when I do :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: leethefish on November 07, 2014, 06:20:03 PM Watched the first two episodes of the missing on bbc1 with James Nesbit

I would regularly watch Lost with a hangover, and literally just stare at the screen for an hour wondering what the fuck was going on, it was just so random it was insane. I loved it early on then just got annoyed by it but had to keep watching, was glad when it finished :) It's not a patch on GOT or Breaking Bad imo. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on November 07, 2014, 11:20:15 PM I loved Lost, really did. It's only afterwards when I think back at it do I see the cracks.
LOL at all the people who whined about no answers, in America they genuinely had subtitles to explain what was going on. For all its flaws it was exciting, with great actors and great characters. Best scene ever (MAJOR SPOILER): YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb1kidLw3SU Miss Sawyer too YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1b5_w7Wbrk This guy too YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0UlUhhAw-M This was got me hooked YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYfKHVdmjzQ Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mondatoo on November 07, 2014, 11:26:44 PM Agree about great actors and the characters were quality. Don't really think any of them have done much afterwards but think that's partly just because Lost was so big it's hard to see past that as those characters.

Don't really think any of them have done much afterwards but think that's partly just because Lost was so big it's hard to see past that as those characters. I was thinking the exact same thing just now. Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Locke, Ben, Desmond - very hard to see past those characters. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on November 07, 2014, 11:50:39 PM Jack played the lead villain in an Alex Cross movie, but I haven't seen him in anything else.
Ben is one of the lead characters in a show that my old man watches 'Person of Interest', and that's been going for 4 seasons. Locke has been in a few things, and was the top cop in a show I just finished a while back 'Gang Related' Haven't seen Hurley in anything, bar a small role as a drug dealer in Californication. Des was in the Mentalist for a couple weeks, but much like the others, haven't seen much of him. Can't remember seeing Sawyer, or Kate in anything. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on November 07, 2014, 11:52:41 PM I actually preferred Lost, of the 3 you mentioned, Ray.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on November 09, 2014, 09:32:49 AM Recently got into Parks and Rec.
It's so refreshing to have a show where all the characters are essentially nice, likeable, positive, good at their jobs, like each other. It always makes good TV to have conflict and highly flawed characters, but P&R shows you can do it the other way too.

I thought it was a reasonable ending. The writers obviously wanted to make sure we didn't feel sorry for Nucky with that subplot flashback and with the reveal. It was a little over-egged in that respect for me.
But I did enoy it. It was a fun show. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TightEnd on November 14, 2014, 12:27:33 PM The second series of the Fall was back on last night

I'm not sure where they get these values from and how does the US guy know the value of UK tat better than the people buying who are supposedly "in the trade"? Some of the values are OK but most are just way out of touch.
I guess it's just OTT programming like we expect from the US version but it seems strange being over here with British accents. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on November 17, 2014, 07:57:02 AM Homeland is just incred right now!

I loved The Leftovers, despite some vast differences in quality of episodes (it would go amazing episode, meh episode, amazing episode, meh episode). It is based on a book, and the finale of the series is essentially the end of the book, so you know everything that the author wanted you to know. It's not really a series where the point is to understand what's going on - it's not really about plot, but about how people deal with loss. It gets comparisons with Lost, because of the 'WTF is going on' vibe but Lost was supposed to all tie up nicely at the end (we were promised this by the writers back in season 1) but of course they were just making it all up as they went along and it fell apart, whereas The Leftovers isn't supposed to tie up nicely - it has, essentially, already finished so we have what we have.

I need to find myself some new shows for when I move into the new gaff and have some stuff to watch when I am off on holiday over Christmas. I like Crime/Politics/Thriller.

It's only the backdrop, but you might struggle with it if you had an intense dislike for the game. Justified/Ray Donovan/White Collar Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 04, 2014, 01:12:54 PM Black Sails is pretty good.

Only two episodes in but am liking it so far.

That said, I've seen some clips of it from the celeb version, and I did chuckle a couple times. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 06, 2014, 10:25:41 AM The whole idea I hate, but must admit I find it enjoyable everytime I walk in and its on TV.
Really dislike the two women with the takeaways, they just seem like they are showing off for the camera trying to get famous. Ironically I really like the two gay fellas who clearly are trying to get famous. I was a big fan of the Royle Family when it was on, which probably explains why I don't hate it. How long before a show of people watching Gogglebox? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 06, 2014, 10:54:09 AM Royle Family is incred, and we must be due another Xmas special!
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: bobAlike on December 06, 2014, 12:53:19 PM Not a popular view but I totally don't like Royle Family and Gogglebox can be placed in that category too.

How long before a show of people watching Gogglebox? I'm not a reality TV fan generally but I do like this and Celeb. I think they are similar to TV poker tourneys in terms of people watching where emotions and thoughts can be visible without anyone saying a word. One thing that does surprise me when they do start ranting is how many people shout at their TV when watching, some of it must be for show but I still think it's pretty funny to watch/listen to.

Been watching The Missing on BBC1 - fairly uncomfortable viewing tbh. I hope the pay-off is worth it because I'm finding it quite hard going!

Its also heavy going "Belfast Noir", about a serial attacker of women Gillian Anderson as the detective is magnificent you know the criminal from the beginning, so its a cat and mouse plot not a whodunnit one episode left in the second series Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 13, 2014, 12:05:09 AM Really enjoyed the Final Ride. Will definitely miss SOA. Was predictable, but an enjoyable end to things. Did you watch 'SOA the afterword'? Sutter had a sitdown with Charlie Hunnam, and they fielded questions from fans etc. Decent watch, and you'd have never thought Otto was capable of writing such a great show :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on December 13, 2014, 01:22:24 PM Good shout with The Fall Tighty!!

Really enjoyed season 1. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on December 16, 2014, 11:07:50 PM Think I'm fully up to speed with 'The Fall'.
Just episode 6 to go which I think airs tomorrow according to Wiki....... Enjoyed it from episode 1 and can honestly say there hasn't been a weak moment in either series. Great recommendation!! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: MANTIS01 on December 17, 2014, 03:12:57 AM Loved the bar scene where some flash Harry bowls over to the pathologist with a couple of margaritas. He's not doing so bad with the patter until Stella rocks up and sits on her lap.
Stella: "Thanks very much" as she takes the cocktails Harry: "I'm not the waiter" Stella: "So what are you standing there for?" So so funny. Harry just melts into the carpet. That's not a spoiler right? I mean it's a serial killer series right? Oh well too late now. So many other great moments to chose from anyway, it really brings the ceiling down! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on December 17, 2014, 09:35:41 AM Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror very thought provoking and a bit twisted as usual last night.

Not really sure why I enjoyed it so much, because it's not normally the kind of thing I'd watch. Sloane Sabbith might just be the greatest! Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 21, 2014, 07:56:53 PM Glad Newsrooms well received, I'll add it to my list post-Amazon Prime.
On Ripper Street at the moment, that's quite good. Can't beat a bit of old fashioned detectiveness Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 22, 2014, 06:20:58 AM I'm just glad the NFL was worth staying up for, because Homeland wasn't...

Don't get me wrong, I didn't want everything blown up to end the season. We had all the carnage in the previous episode. However, I did want to see the mullet ironed out!

Very popular in our house. How am I meant to feel when I watch this show? Cannot decide whether it is voyeuristic and exploitable or just plain endearing and heart warming.

what did you think? (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8lty9TCAAIg7Gy.jpg) anyone watching Wolf Hall? Amazing acting by Mark Rylance. Acts everyone else off the screen even when he doesn't speak BBC drama of the highest order (https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQDj9AYhUTV_DOR299FXd9EkXxYba4dRzxFaR-ufzVFbaVQzSVJ) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: bobAlike on January 30, 2015, 11:27:46 AM Found Wolf Hall a bit of a drag TBH although I do agree about Mark Rylance.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on January 30, 2015, 11:46:03 AM Recorded Fortitude, from all the hype I'm quite looking forward to it. Didn't bother with Wolf Hall, I'm not in to period drama but have heard good reviews. Someone even said it was "perfect television".
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Tal on January 30, 2015, 01:15:57 PM Re Wolf Hall: Amazing how they've managed to take the slow, grinding, relentless inaccessibility of the book and project it on screen.
Pretentious, tedious and series-unlinked. Yes, Rylance is excellent though. "Mark", the director would shout, "Stare into space for a bit and then walk over there".

Pretentious, tedious and series-unlinked. Yes, Ryalnce is excellent though. I Think it works well precisely because it is slow paced and thoughtful, all politics and despotism series linked :-) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on January 30, 2015, 02:24:30 PM Just finished SOA Enjoyed immensenly.... proper brutal and ended just as it was entering territory that may be viewed as ludicrously over the top.. At least we had a closure ending .. If you're going to miss your weekly fix of violence I'd recommend Banshee. Similarly easy viewing, lots of blood, totally unrealistic but thoroughly enjoyable for an hour once a week.

Obviously its very "The Killing/the Bridge" like, but the cast is strong, the setting led to some breath-taking camera work, has masses of potential.
The show I am looking forward too most this year . . YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6zVQXpUe_0 Original series was destroyed by the writers strike could have been so much more, so I am glad they are trying again.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: vegaslover on February 05, 2015, 03:22:56 PM Anyone seen Extant? Need something new to watch. Been following it on syfy. Certainly watchable if you are into sci-fi. Also been watching the 100, it is better than I thought it would be. Fortitude has an immense cast, would of liked to have seen more of Ecclestone in it though, obviously.

I love that it's a good old fashioned 22 episodes per season but it's perhaps worrying that I'm nearly half way through season two having only started watching it a week or so ago.
I'm also watching House of Cards which is rated highly on IMDB but I can't help but dislike Kevin Spacey's acting. I'm only on episode two but find him dull and monotone, completely contrasting all the characters in West Wing. Perhaps it will grow on me.

When I try to watch on this new lappy it wants be to download media player, when I try it sends me to load of other crappy things it wants be to download. I tried this on my desktop recently and I ended up with adds and the like all over the place. So what sites do you guys use?

Haven't seen Bosch mentioned. It's certainly not a top top show but it's solidly decent especially if you've read some of the books.

I liked how we almost saw the show from his point of view rather than the DareDevils, plus you could almost identify with his vision and sympathise with his love live. Plus also, scary as fuck, hulk smash. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: George2Loose on May 03, 2015, 12:50:07 AM Just started better call Saul. What a great character.

I dont recall it being the eldest Stark daughter going to the Boultons, it was an imposter for the younger daughter iirc? Jaimie and Robsons mate off on travels together etc??

Just seen all Peaky Blinder episodes over the last week, terrific series with loads of further potential. Brummie Boardwalk Empire. Fills the hole that BB left behind nicely.

I dont recall it being the eldest Stark daughter going to the Boultons, it was an imposter for the younger daughter iirc? Jaimie and Robsons mate off on travels together etc?? Yeh they've publicly stated this season and future seasons will swerve from the books quite a lot, mainly i assume because the TV series will complete before the books as Winds of Winter isn't due out till the back end of next year. Tv versions of books are often simplified, so I'd expect a lot of periphery characters to be killed off along the way who will still have a part to play in the books.

all these programmes such as benefit street, roma gypsies on benefit, cant pay we take it away,evictions are us etc. pretty sure these are just to make people gloat and laugh at those in an unfortunate position.the only people they seem to show is the full time pisstakers who only want to milk whatever they can get. i was going to start a thread but pretty sure it would just fade out to bottom of page so i decided to post here. i work long hours to pay my way,but i have spent years on benefit when i was younger, and i really regret how much of my life i wasted. that does not mean people should make these crappy, ill informed programmes. all they do is paint a significant section of the population in a way that is generally quite far away from reality.

Channel 4 and Channel 5 seem to now almost exclusively deal in 'thank god you are not this person' TV programmes. It is disgusting I agree. Sadly these shows outrage people and people like to be outraged. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Mark_Porter on June 02, 2015, 12:39:57 PM There is always an element of ‘poverty porn’ to these types of programmes and it was no different for the majority of this series. Last night’s episode, however, was about community and how people pull together. There was nothing voyeuristic, a large part of the episode was a family dealing with loss. I found it very moving.
They don’t only show pisstakers either. There are plenty of them on the show but this time around they had a lady who looked after her disabled son, a guy who was just completed addled from drug addiction etc. It felt more balanced for this type of show. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on June 07, 2015, 07:24:26 PM Been watching 'It's Always Sunny', this weekend.
Wasn't overly impressed with the early episodes, but it has gotten better as the season goes along, and the last few episodes have been excellent. On the gameshow ep now, and it's the best yet.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on June 09, 2015, 10:24:03 AM Never understood why Season 2 of the Wire wasn't that popular, I really enjoyed it.
Having said that, when I start trying to decide which is best, it usually ends in a five way tie. Season 5 had some sketchy moments, but also had some of the absolute best moments. The final 20 minutes of the last hour is truly amazing. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: titaniumbean on June 09, 2015, 01:15:37 PM Season 2 is widely considered 'the slowest'.

The Wire I couldn't choose a best season for, because they are so different but also so necessary. When people ask what the Wires about I just say Baltimore and they get confused.

Have not looked it up, and hope its all it seems to be. Basic premise is 10 people (outdoor survival experts) sent with no crew to various individual locations on Pacific coast of Canada. Basic supplies (Knife, tarp, fire steel, bag and bottle), no crew, motion detection cameras and a handheld. Whoever last's the longest wins 500k. Environment is full of Bears, Cougars and Wolves yearly rainfall is measured in feet, it is basically an unforgiving place. The bravado of the participants lasts about half a day. The psychological unravelling of the participants is fascinating - solitude does very strange things to people. If it turns out to be staged I will be upset, as its brilliant so far. Highly recommended - is available on catch up.

Got a bit gripped last night although continued watching on my Ipad in bed and woke up in a fright at about 4am this morning. I was scared shitless but no idea what off, I dont seem to have dreams/nightmares any more but obviously something from an episode got me and shit me up. I was just sat bolt up right in bed for about 5 minutes trying to figure out what the fuck happened. I fear it could get quite repetitive. Kind of like Hustle. Love the concept and each episode has had me gripped so far.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on September 02, 2015, 08:20:07 PM In between waiting for the last Mr Robot and continuing with Legends, I've found a new one called Narcos which is about Pablo Escobar. For a moment I had flashbacks of Vinny Chase in Medellín - it's definitely better quality than that. I've only seen the first episode but I think it's very well filmed, decent acting and it's a cracking story isn't it (if you like drug lord type programs)
I watch too much tele Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mulhuzz on September 02, 2015, 08:46:31 PM Narcos looks great. Can't wait to binge it this weekend.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on September 05, 2015, 06:19:26 PM Thought the end of Mr Robot was a little disappointing after a cracking first 9 episodes - I enjoyed it but we missed some good stuff. This is where it's annoying having to wait a year for the next season. Lots of questions that I'd like to know the answer too.
Narcos is a really good program, certainly up there with the best I've seen this year. Only 4 eps to go and I'm guessing it's going to end with the end of Pablo so wonder where S2 will take us? Of course I could look it up but I haven't yet. I've found another one called Gang Related - anyone seen it? Review on IMDB says it could be the next Shield? I have EP1 ready to go and will start after I've finished Narcos, hopefully it's good.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AndrewT on September 06, 2015, 12:10:26 AM Mr Robot did suffer a bit in that there were scenes there which were only done to set up season 2. Initially I thought this was typical 'tease now, work out what we're actually going to do later' but I have seen somewhere that the creator had already planned things out, so he's not just disappearing down a Lost rabbithole.
It really is such a tremendously filmed thing - the off-centre framing of shots, the music. The scene this week with crazy Swedish wife outside the apartment is incredibly unnerving (helped greatly by her eyes). As an added bonus, if you research the name of the actress who plays crazy Swedish wife, and add the word 'nude' to your Google image search, you'll be pleasantly rewarded.

We all know this. The only thing it's good for is for Chompy and Tal to make Fred money by betting on it.
However, I've started watching a different type of reality show. It's on Channel 4 every Thursday at 9pm and it's called Hunted. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/hunted/on-demand/60136-001 The premise is brilliant. 14 volunteers who applied to be on the show are given one hour's warning that they have to go on the run. They get a bank account with £450 in it and have one hour to pack, say their goodbyes to their family, and get the hell out of town before the "police" come and "arrest" them. And when I say police, I mean the best in the world. The guy heading the 30 man team of crack investigators used to be the Head of Counter-Terrorism for the City of London Police. Their analyst worked for the FBI and was part of the team involved in locating Osama Bin Laden. They have access to all the systems that you can imagine. ANPR, CCTV, banks etc. You name it, they have it. It's absolutely brilliant. Quite possibly one of the best TV shows I've watched this year. Just a pity it's probably only going to be 6 episodes, which is standard for Channel 4. There have been two so far and I've linked to 4OD for the first episode up there. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on September 19, 2015, 06:51:44 PM It is only a six episode series! Saw a trailer that I thought looked interesting. Will give it a whirl
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: bobAlike on September 19, 2015, 07:50:24 PM Kurt Sutters (SOA) new series The Bastard Executioner aired episodes 1 and 2 last night. Any good? Will look into this tonight :) Watched first episode, got potential but I am a little worried about a yank writing a series about Brit history. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: mulhuzz on September 19, 2015, 07:52:01 PM They don't really have CCTV and ANPR though, it's just 'simulated' eg the camera man with the hunted sends them a text.
im enjoying it, but it's not exactly straight up. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: exstream on September 19, 2015, 11:08:49 PM Limitless tv series has started.
Limiteless movie i enjoyed. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: baldock92 on September 20, 2015, 01:32:07 AM Any watchers of The Mentalist here? I'm a couple of seasons in and, as much as I enjoy some of the episodes, it gets a bit repetitive. Is there more to this if I stick to it?

It's repetitive, but Jane is com, so I enjoyed the whole series. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on September 20, 2015, 09:29:58 PM Reality TV is shit.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on October 06, 2015, 08:47:09 PM Season 2 Gotham started with a trilogy called "Rise of the villains". Dark, twisted, focused and theatrical with a little bit of campness thrown in, it's everything that season 1 wasn't.
And Vic Mackey comes in as the new captain next week. Hope they can keep it up. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on October 07, 2015, 08:33:56 AM I actually think This Is England '90 was poor.
The Combo release was criminally under done (excuse the pun) and the dynamic with Milky not at all explored, or the time he spent with Woody and Lol straight after release. What we got from Stephen Graham was, of course, brilliant, but we should have gotten a lot more time with him. Him interacting so positively with the people at the community centre, of all skin colours, despite the swastika tattoo on the back of the neck we kept getting close ups of needed more attention. Also, Kelly and her descent into drug addiction, and her battle back out. She confesses to Lol that she's been injecting but no longer does, misses the wedding service but manages to force herself to the reception, she battles through all this without the help of her friends. Her immediate, non-negotiable expulsion from the flat didn't make much sense to me either. If the Woody and Lol wedding was used as a tool to explore any of the other relationships or story lines, fine, but it just seemed to stand alone as a wedding story. A lot of the cast and characters were brilliant and I feel a bit let down by it if I'm honest. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: rfgqqabc on October 09, 2015, 04:56:50 AM Gotham season 2 has been excellent so far. Really good tv.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on October 28, 2015, 10:16:38 AM Fargo Season 2 is a bit like Boardwalk Empire for me. Everything about it exudes quality and I like it but I feel like I should absolutely love it, but I just don't.
New X Files in January includes follow up to Home (S4E2) which is said to be the sickest hour ever on Network TV in the States. Shown once then banned it starts with a new born baby being buried alive and doesn't really get any better. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on October 28, 2015, 01:03:28 PM Started watching a mini series called Gangland Undercover.

is the answer just to wait them out :) Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: EvilPie on November 03, 2015, 05:07:32 PM I'm surprised at what fussy eaters the zombies are. Surely a bit of cannibalism wouldn't hurt them?

Yep, like it a lot. Always enjoyed Cornwell's non-sharpe stuff. Over the years have got really interested in English history from the initial Danish invasions through to the Norman conquest so this hit's the sweet spot. could do with more breasts and pillaging tbf Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Jon MW on November 06, 2015, 04:10:35 PM anyone watching the last kingdom? game of thrones set in saxon times, bbc2 9pm tuesdays adaptation of the bernard cornwell books enjoying it. Have sky plussed it , havnt got round to viewing. The books are great. It isn't as good as the books - but I think that's always the case :) I think they've made a decision to slow it down and make it a bit more "serious", which makes a good quality TV show but I think it's somewhat unnecessary. There is plenty of room for the the TV version to contain a lot more drama while still making a good show. The person who did the adaptation (I think) is more known for contemporary fiction and I think it shows. It's a good show - but I think it could have been done better. I'm not sure how many books this first series is based on - so there could be scope for the follow up series (if there is one/any) to ramp it up. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TightEnd on November 06, 2015, 04:12:52 PM the tv series is just the first book, over 8 episodes (and i agree, its drawn out at an ethereal pace)

A look at what life would be like in North America if the Germans had won the war Watched ep 1 yesterday and ep 1 Jessica Jones today and I'm going with Netflix for my next binge. It seems like it might be some kind of clever parallel universe or fictional world kind of thing but I think I'd prefer to read the book rather than watch it if that makes any sense. Not sure it's gonna be worth ten hours or whatever to get to the payoff if there is one. But if it starts getting amazing reviews then I may come back to it. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on November 23, 2015, 09:59:06 AM Cheers, may give it a go. Does sound like the book may be a lot better but will see. Decent enough score on IMDB, 8.4, but in this day and age there's really no excuse for making poor television.

You get free 1 day delivery on prime listed goods. It has save me a fortune so far. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AlunB on November 23, 2015, 02:43:57 PM Yeah if you use Amazon much or are the type of person who frequently needs a last minute present for something it's worth the money just for this alone.
I marginally prefer Amazon Prime to Netflix too, and it's got a very good selection of TV or films you can buy too. Plus it has Mr Robot, which is amazing.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on November 23, 2015, 03:50:56 PM You've picked unfortunate timing to subscribe to Amazon Prime, it's just been on offer for £59 - ended last Friday.
With Prime you also get the Kindle lending library included (if you have a Kindle). Does seem pretty good value but I can wait 3 or 4 days for free delivery and would rather have the £79 in my pocket. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on November 23, 2015, 04:48:03 PM You get a month for free to try it out, I accidentally signed up for it, they are getting really sneaky on that checkout page, insta cancelled and am now thinking of keeping it going.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: marcro on November 23, 2015, 05:41:50 PM Speaking of Amazon Prime and Netflix, I recently got an Amazon Firestick so I could watch these on my TV. Really happy with it. Installation is very simple and the iPhone app to select what you want to watch works a treat. Highly recommend.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on November 25, 2015, 10:06:12 PM Fargo's been mentioned a couple of times, so I'm just adding my tuppence & recommendation to invest some time in catching up with it. It's produced by the Coen Brothers, who are responsible for some excellent, quirky films & tv over the years:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coen_brothers_filmography More than a simple cops & crime gang-war story, the delight comes in the depiction of the weird & wonderful characters, whilst there's regular jolt's of brutality thrown in before it gets a little too whimsical. I miss Billy Bob Thornton from the first to series, but the positives far outweigh the negatives in the latest series.

No, actually doesnt matter which order you watch. There is a Daredevil character pops up in the final couple of episodes but it is completely in a vaccuum, its marginally better to watch DareDevil I guess for that reason, but it would only increase enjoyment by 1%. Both of them are excellent though. If you like action, maybe go for DD first, if you like psychological thrillers, go JJ. Or indeed alternate them.

I expect to know at least what the GR are all about, or who the guy that the main cop is killing dogs with, or what Adam (is it Adam? The guy that likes hugs and hot Asian chicks) is up too.

I enjoyed the first few seasons, but thought it was almost as far fetched as Lost, by the later seasons. Some good performances, and superb characters, all the same.

But it was a mould-breaker for cop dramas in so many different ways. I loved it, and still rate it as one of my alltime favs. Never got into The Wire, so I can't make comparisons... Six Feet Under was another big favourite of mine at that time, with its unique plot-setting and fantastically drawn characterisations.

Plotline explosion, LOL. Fantastic shoot-em-up, but it seems like an episode conceived & executed - and then they re-wrote & filmed the first 8 episodes. All went a bit Tarantino. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: AdamM on December 16, 2015, 12:22:04 PM I'm ok with everything except the UFO?!?!
I didn't dream it did I? Or did someone slip something in my tea maybe? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on December 16, 2015, 09:08:39 PM The UFO has had a few cameo appearances in the series, but this time had a "feature role".

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on December 17, 2015, 08:45:58 AM It's a common plot device in Coen Brothers movies (On which Fargo is based) to have something totally absurd come in and influence the plot in a major way. I actually saw the UFO scene coming a mile off (Not that I'm clever, just I've seen a lot of telly and spotted the signs).

Worth bothering with? Season 3 of the Bridge on BBC4 has been outstanding so far. If you don't mind subtitles, definitely worth a watch. The lead character, Saga, is one of the best leads in any show of this kind I've seen.

I just saw that wobbly thing as him using his native American super senses to feel The environment (you know the sort of thing). Didn't notice the time anomaly Really am going to have to rewatch with this in mind now. Don't mind a bitmof Sci-fy but don't like it here.

Completely cartoonish and impossible to take seriously. Several scenes may well have been lifted directly from A Touch of Cloth. Nevertheless, it was a fun use of an hour.

I believe that it's a contemporised Le Carre novel. In any event it's a nice little spy thriller, benefiting from a substantial budget and the exotic locations that big money brings. Tom Hiddlestone makes a diffident but credible lead, whilst Hugh Laurie has found himself another quality role, but back to his native accent. I'll be recording the episodes I can't catch live.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on March 10, 2016, 11:23:42 AM More than a little surprised that Happy Valley hasn't been mentioned on here.
It's the long-overdue follow-up series to the 2014 series. Only six parts, but absolutely crammed with excellent acting, superb characterisations, and a plot line that you really cannot predict. Sarah Lancaster is just superb in the lead role, but not the only actor deserving plaudits. How on earth has the director managed to get such a credible performance from a young lad of approx 8 years of age? Stunning. It helps if you've seen the first series, of course, but Series 2 is well-worth watching in its own right. It's all there on the BBC iPlayer.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on April 13, 2016, 09:35:24 PM Marcella (ITV Tues nights) is well worth the watch. It has the feel of a Scandie cop drama, and it may well be an adaptation. What is for sure, is that it's a smartly written, very well acted and directed piece of "crime-noir".
The plot is pretty dense, so my only complaint is that you have to wait a whole week between episodes. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Poacky3s on April 14, 2016, 12:53:57 PM Been watching episodes of Gold Rush on YouTube. If you cut through the American 'reality' crap element to it, it's great to see how the gold is extracted from the ground and how much money you can make, or lose! Would be a great adventure doing it for a season but the start up costs these guys have to put up is huge.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: rfgqqabc on April 14, 2016, 03:32:22 PM Has anybody seen The Jinx?

Its absolutely fascinating and I found myself absolutely desperate to turn the page and find out what went on. Can't write much more without spoilers, but fi you enjoyed any of the previously mentioned programs then get involved.

There was ten minutes in that (second last episode, fighting over admission of the fuhrman tapes in the courtroom) that was fantastic televison too. i could hardly breathe it was that tense everyone knows the story, knows how it ends but it still managed to be fantastically tense Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Nakor on April 22, 2016, 11:33:46 AM Julia Davis new series on Sky anyone?

Seriously? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Mark_Porter on May 30, 2016, 11:45:24 PM Really disappointed with the first episode of "new" Top Gear. Was so geared up to like it as well.
What a great chance to rip up the formula and create something new and exciting. Instead, the show looks exactly the same, two thirds of the episode is spent rehashing the same old challenges and there is very little actual interesting engaging car chat. I thought Matt LeBlanc was actually OK but couldn't get on with Chris Evans at all. Needs to tone it back a bit. I found large parts of the episode just plain boring. Will stick with it but expected so much more than that. Zero imagination or creativity. Also, don't keep harping back to the old show! Constant comments, the catering intro, "we got custody of the Stig", "On that Bombshell..." etc. All that does is remind us, the audience, that we would rather be watching the old gang. I am not a fanboy of the Clarkson mob but they made that format work so do something fresh. Will give it a couple more episodes I guess. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: BigAdz on June 04, 2016, 01:23:49 PM Just watched the last episode of Banshee.
A fine and suitable ending to one of the best programmes I have ever seen(if you enjoy that sort of stuff). Ended before it lost it, but will be seriously missed nonetheless. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on June 14, 2016, 07:14:41 PM Anyone else watching Preacher? I like it.

I still seem to be enjoying it, anyway. I do find myself feeling guilty for liking it and not thinking about the inequity of power and how it corrupts those with it. But then the show doesn't seem to want me to do that, or at least, if it does, it doesn't give me any real encouragement to do so. Axe is too likeable and human and his wife supportive and genuine, rather than Lady Macbeth. It's full of contrasts and safe plays. Nevertheless, it's well shot and Lewis is terrific.

I'm not sure if this is a good place for me to post, but I'm a TV producer and I'm looking for people with particular skills to apply for a new Channel 4 series. Minnow Films are currently producing an exciting new series for Channel 4 about the recruitment and training process of becoming a spy, where we will explore the type of person it takes to serve Britain under cover. We are looking for a group of 20 ordinary British citizens, men and women to attempt a course based on the authentic Recruitment and Training phases of the Britain’s Intelligence Services. The course will be as close to the real thing as possible, immersing the Candidates in a world of psychological pressure and uncertainty. The key aim of the series is authenticity. We want to deliver genuine insight on what it takes to join the Britain’s Intelligence Services. It will be screened on Channel 4 at prime-time towards the end of 2016. Do you think you have what it takes to become a spy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuqDx12Aw1M Thanks for taking the time to read.

A panel show of sorts where the contestants have to perform various tasks (get a cat out of a tree, make a nursery rhyme music video, get this boulder as far away as possible, etc) to win points. It doesn't take itself too seriously but at the same time it has a structure which makes following the scores quite interesting. Quite a few genuine laugh out loud moments so well worth a look I think.

A panel show of sorts where the contestants have to perform various tasks (get a cat out of a tree, make a nursery rhyme music video, get this boulder as far away as possible, etc) to win points. It doesn't take itself too seriously but at the same time it has a structure which makes following the scores quite interesting. Quite a few genuine laugh out loud moments so well worth a look I think. A real guilty pleasure. I love Greg's sense of mischief and desire to ridicule the contestants at every possible opportunity. The highlight of the series.......... potato-gate with Joe Wilkinson in the 'put the potato in the hole' challenge. Written and developed by Alex Horne. Much underrated feature of the show. Enjoyed both series. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: david3103 on July 21, 2016, 07:18:18 PM Taskmaster on Dave is very good fun.

All or Nothing is the first series to take viewers inside the locker room, on the sidelines, and off the field for an unprecedented look inside an NFL franchise’s complete season. Season one picks up with the Arizona Cardinals following the season-ending injury to quarterback Carson Palmer in the 2014 season. If you are a NFL fan this is a must see.

Watched the first one last night and found it very interesting viewing. I don't have much empathy for the guys featured so far, as it's very obvious why they're falling short academically. Interesting that LeGarrette Blount is one of the guys who went through the system previously. Very grateful for the subtitles in places though. Those accents are strong!

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: MANTIS01 on September 30, 2016, 07:25:15 PM The Fall was back last night, much anticipated, unfortunately it was an episode of Casualty which I really can't stomach. Why do people watch that hospital stuff? Oh look little Emily fell over in the playground and she has a big spike sticking in her eye, everybody crying...very entertaining I'm sure. No doubt it will start heating up now Spector lives. But what really gets me is how smoking hot Gillian Anderson is, in X-files she was a bit mousy, plain but in this she simply sizzles on screen without even trying.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: TightEnd on September 30, 2016, 07:32:59 PM last night's the fall was 5 minutes of drama stretched over 55 minutes. very odd

It's actually more of an ensemble than the others. Not sure it would make for more good seasons without some seriously bad big baddies though. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: the sicilian on October 22, 2016, 03:37:02 PM I had a real chill down the spine moment last night..
Bit bored going through the tons of stuff i have downloaded to the server and decided to give The Lone Gunmen a shot. The Lone Gunmen was an offshoot of the fantastic X Files .. it centres around 3 conspiracy theorists that publish a newspaper documenting mainly government conspiracies. The pilot episode features a plot to fly a passenger airliner into the World Trade Centre ! the plot succeeds and shows them flying at the world trade centre only to miraculously avoid it at the last second The date this episode aired was 4th of March 2001.. 6 months later I think we all know what happened.. Spooky coincidence or did it give a madman an idea ? Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on October 22, 2016, 04:29:40 PM That is spooky.
I remember watching the attacks live, in the senior rates mess at HMS Nelson, and it was like watching something out of a movie. Very, very surreal, even when you watch it now. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on October 22, 2016, 05:02:25 PM They were a long time target for a lot of foiled attacks and were bombed in 1993 by Al Quaeda, in that respect I guess the attacks were a little more 'predictable' than we give it credit, at least for somebody who wrote a show like the X-Files.

big budget, specatcular set pieces. "Yet it was clear from the very beginning of The Grand Tour that the Petrolhead Primadonnas had indeed retained the hard-to-the-define, instantly recognisable grumpy bloke charm that is their trademark. It was equally obvious just how foolish the BBC had been in attempting to replace this shaggy three-piece with Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc when it rebooted Top Gear over the summer."

Why on earth doesn't someone just put a cap in that clown and be done with it. I really don't find him remotely scary. Bit harsh overall but this season has been pathetic I agree! Yah, I guess to qualify further...TWD was kinda fascinating at first because I saw human beings moving from apex predator status to battling a force greater than us. How would we cope with such a situation, how would the resolve of people stand up to the test? Being the resilient bunch we are hopefully we would come together to uncover ingenious solutions highlighting the strength of human spirit. But NO! We are following what appears to be an aging biker dude with several sobbing wives swinging around a bat with a girl's name. It's like a soap opera. Why not just kill this insignificant man, why not just move on away from this insignificant man and get back to the real problem? It's akin to a series about man's global battle with cancer and choosing to focus on what I ate for dinner, totally irrelevant, totally pointless.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: roshambo on December 16, 2016, 03:12:41 PM I said about it before but I watched the Series Finale last night. Well worth a watch one of the best shot TV series I've seen, the costume and set design is amazing and Jude Law abs makes it his own. Amazing series http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3655448/ Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on December 22, 2016, 02:42:17 PM Watched a few things on Amazon recently,
Red Oaks - nice half hour an episode comedy set in a country club in 80's America. Goliath - Great drama with Billy Bob Thornton as a lawyer taking on a massive law firm. Halt and Catch Fire Season 3 - Drama about the computing industry and it's take off. Season 3 progressed a bit further in time. Not sure about the last couple of episodes but I really like the program. Startup - New drama with Martin Freeman. "A desperate banker needs to conceal stolen money. A Haitian-American gang lord wants to go legit. A Cuban-American hacker has an idea that will revolutionize the very future of money itself. Forced to work together, they unwittingly create their version of the American dream" I'm only two episodes in but am enjoying it so far. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: MANTIS01 on December 23, 2016, 11:34:01 PM Yep +1 for Goliath, very enjoyable, Britney was so smoking hot she melted my eyes.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on December 24, 2016, 05:06:07 PM For anyone who 1) loved Breaking Bad and 2) hasn't seen it already, try Just Call Saul.
Made by the same writing & production team; set in Albuquerque, New Mexico which gives the whole series a very unique look. Binged on the first 9 episodes on Netflix; just taking a break to share my enthusiasm. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DMorgan on December 24, 2016, 05:38:59 PM Looking forward to season 3 coming in February

Amazing series http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3655448/ Yep, agree with this. Haven't seen Jude Law in much but this is a pretty amazing performance.

Oh my Lord, of all the heartbreaking deaths in 2016, of which George Michael is a very close second, the demise of Ragnar Lothbrook has completely destroyed me.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on February 08, 2017, 09:26:51 PM I was looking for a new show to watch and came across " Halt and catch fire". I am not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread before, it is now in it's 3rd series, but I am really enjoying it. Set in the early 80's it follows the staff of a computer company trying to take on IBM by building the first laptop. The script, and acting are very good and it is an interesting story too. It has a similar feel to " Mad Men " but not as polished. I'd give it a solid 8/10.

Ken Stotts dubious accent aside its quite good. Much faster paced then S1. The backdrop is so spectacular some of the filming is amazing. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: MANTIS01 on February 12, 2017, 07:30:38 PM Agree with love for The Night Of, really enjoyed that. First episode was gripping and depth of characters was strong. Found the court scenes and ending a little flat. Really wanted a few "Did you order the code red?" style court moments but meh it didn't detract from the overall quality I guess. Oh and agree Sneaky Pete was good fun.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on February 21, 2017, 12:30:50 AM SS-GB made its debut last night on the Beeb.
It'd been getting a substantial amount of promotion throughout the organisation, so I flicked it on in high anticipation. I was not disappointed. I thought the production design team did a great job in recreating London locations of the 1940's - although I did note an absence of bomb damage. The premise is that we lost the Battle of Britain in 1940 and the Germans achieved a relatively bloodless victory. Can't say I recall seeing Sam Riley's acting skills before, but he is an excellent lead in this detective drama that draws you in on so many different levels. I feel that they've moulded credible characterisations of all the English and German protaganists, including the simmering evil of the senior SS officer deployed to London. So far, so very good. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: nirvana on February 26, 2017, 12:26:12 PM Recommend watching 13th, available on Netflix, real eye-opener. Really good programme, agreed.

It's about a group of guys that reunite after 20 odd years having spent 9 months in a youth detention centre when they were young. IMDB has a more in depth synopsis. I'm about half way through and am enjoying it so far. Worth considering if you need something to watch.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Mark_Porter on March 28, 2017, 12:40:04 PM Broadchurch is very good again this series after a ponderous second series.
Classic murder mystery stuff and Olivia Colman is fantastic. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: MANTIS01 on March 28, 2017, 02:11:06 PM I didn't feel Line of Duty at all. High expectations I guess. But first off the 'crime/corruption' of charging a suspect, especially one with a lot of evidence, is what sort of crime?? It happens every day, it happens in USA every second without any 3cevidence. But having resolved myself to accept the flaky plot I found myself agog at the end. I mean it was like a scene out of the chuckle brothers, hands burnt on frying pans, fake scuffle, people falling over. She went down like that referee di canio pushed over.
But really if my boss bowled round my house and pushed his way through the front door, was all in my face with attitude, seriously burned my hand and then comedy fell down, what would I do? Maybe phone an ambulance or the police?? What I really really wouldn't do is pull on a mask, hotfoot it down to my local B&Q and buy a range of power tools with a view to slicing up the body. I mean she wasn't even dead so what sort of forensic scene of crime expert is this? Sorry but the episode was just horrible clownery. Incidentally it can't be a spoiler several days after being aired on national tv right? Oh well. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on March 28, 2017, 02:21:15 PM Sky Atlantic are advertising Guerrilla at the moment, looks pretty good "A pair of activists in 1970s London set out to free a political prisoner and wage a resistance movement."
On in a couple of weeks I think, all episode available at once. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on March 28, 2017, 03:54:03 PM I didn't feel Line of Duty at all.

"Hey shall we meet in the smelly subway tonight for a brief irrelevant chat?" "Err no just tell me over coffee in the office tomorrow you weirdo!" Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on March 30, 2017, 03:43:30 PM Don't think I've mentioned it but Animal Kingdom is worth watching.
"This bold family crime drama centers on teenage J Cody, who moves in with his freewheeling relatives in their Southern California beach town after his mother dies of an overdose. Quickly pulled into the family's life of excess, he soon discovers that it's all being funded by criminal activities. Joining the family comes with more danger and excitement than he might be ready to handle." It's a bit like Point Break, that sort of thing but it's very good and not really about surfing too much, they just live in a SoCal down and commit crime. It was great and season 2 is due in May. Sneeky Amazon though, it seems as whilst I was watching episode 9, it became PPV and they wanted £2.49 for episode 10! Most of the series looks like PPV now. One to watch for sure but perhaps on your alternative Kodi methods. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: exstream on April 05, 2017, 12:37:53 PM Prison break is back!

If you like the fighting scenes in Kill Bill, you'll love this. I won't try to describe it except to say it's quite violent but more in a Kill Bill type of way and it's very good!
Also watched Hap and Leonard. Not sure why but I avoided this for a while but it's entertaining too. Has James Purevoy and Michael Kenneth Williams which I didn't realise until I started it, another plus. Good action/crime/drama sort of thing. For a more in depth review (how is that possible I hear you say), check them both out on IMDB.

Hope the rest of the season is as good as the opening of ep. 1. finished season 5 two weeks ago, thought it was dreadful compared to the first seasons. the earlier seasons with the original producer were so much more complex and well structured. this felt rushed and half finished and weak. still watched it all so it wasn't bad tv, just no where near the standard of the first few seasons.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on June 29, 2017, 05:10:35 PM Didn't think the book was that great either. The spider god getting the slaves to burn their ship was awesome but yeah gave up after that episode.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on June 29, 2017, 05:26:33 PM Was wondering whether the Handmaid's Tale would actually be entertaining or like sitting in an English Lit A-Level class. I did enjoy it, I think it's well worth a watch and pretty excited for where they can take it in Season 2. Haven't read the book so no clue if they've reached the end of it or not, but I think it could be great if they expand it to show more of what's happening in other countries and a bit of revolt, rebellion and rescue would be nice too.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on July 04, 2017, 02:13:27 PM I'm quite enjoying American Gods. Only watched the first two and have to admit I could live without the weird bits but I think the main story is OK.

Did you not get fed up with the complete improbability of so many of the story lines, Kiefer's pathetically liberal portrayal and extremely narrow emotional range - he musta pulled the same 'oh man, i'm in a bind, but I'm so liberal and fair I'll find a solution' face a million times. Rest of the cast pretty shite too tbf :-) I've seen West Wing and Desi Surviv, you're no West Wing. On a more positive note - sure someone mentioned Halt and Catch Fire a while ago, not the best thing I've ever seen but pretty interesting from a historical, how times have changed perspective. Watchable anyhoo. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: bobAlike on October 12, 2017, 08:20:15 PM Anyone seen Suburra a Netflix original series?

I started watching it due to it's connections with The Wire. We're four episodes in now and I'm enjoying it immensely. It's very unhurried in it's plot development, so may be a little slow for some, but pretty much every character is a potential car crash waiting to happen (not surprising given that it's set within the NYC pimps and prostitutes and the burgeoning early 70s porn industry). So far, so good, but have been a bit surprised that no-one has mentioned it on here since it started.

How many years ago was it?

I'm pretty sure that 80%+ of the male population is guilty of doing or suggesting something sexually unsavoury over the course of a life punctuated by drunken evenings and boys/girls on tour weekends. If I recall correctly, I got some of my most surprising scores when pushing the boundaries of decency. A lot of guys I've spoken to didn't need any Dutch courage, either. I honestly feel sympathy for people being outed for "marginal calls" they made under dubious circumstances more than 15 years ago. There but for the grace of ... go I & all that. Yeah I have to admit I've done a few things that might be considered close to line in my time. None of them were with 14 year olds though......

#Invalid YouTube Link# I have become abit obsessed with watching stuff on YouTube, currently working through either darts documentaries or bare knuckle fighting usually arranged by travellers with a beef about something. Find it all quite fascinating how these fights are 1) arranged with call out videos on YouTube and 2) traditional fights with refs from each side, punching only, don't hit a man if he is down and shake hands at the end of it. Can't be just me that gets abit obsessed with one video after another popping up about your chosen subject.

Very different to today's documentary style which seems to be content lite and focused on the presenter/programme makers. These documentaries are much better at letting the subjects speak for themselves - a good way to spend an afternoon off imo http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p055t73r/the-colony#group=p056n6px http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p055vzj1/tuesday-documentary-the-block#group=p056n6px http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p053r2q1/waiting-for-work#group=p056n6px Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on November 22, 2017, 08:37:17 PM One of my favourite TV shows of the year returned last week: Masterchef The Professionals.

On the way to the bush tucker trial Amir Khan was shadow boxing some trees and other jungle vegetation saying how he was going to be unstoppable. When the trial started he was scared of fish eyes, pigeons, a camel, spiders, snakes, cobwebs, feathers and padlocks. Really bizarre to see a fighter scared of everything, he was like the lion in Wizard of Oz.

The guy is brilliant. They're all good but I think he's the best for me. None of them are doing their restaurants any harm that's for sure! On another note, I'm enjoying Designated Survivor on Netflix at the moment. I do like Keifer and this is a great show for him to come back into. Lots of people I recognise but can't put a name too which I enjoy too. Good cast, pretty a decent no need to think too hard story, solid 8/10 from me. Every time there's a scene change I expect the clock ticks from 24 to come in :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: marcro on December 14, 2017, 01:54:56 PM If you like Westerns, check out Godless on Netflix - it is very good.

Hope they are not going down the predictable route of making Hastings the 'H' after all that, it would be too much of a character betrayal. No doubt series 5 starts with a well known actor who snuffs it in the first episode, then Kate turning up claiming to be on secondment from East Mids.

Teen angst Bonny and Clyde style, it's dark, funny and poignant in places. The two young leads are excellent as well. Assumed it was a Netflix original but turns out it was on channel 4 originally and was totally overlooked. Snappy 8 episodes, binged in 2 sittings. Would really recommend.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Graham C on May 15, 2018, 12:29:32 PM Watching a program on Netflix called Money Heist. Firstly, it's Spanish but dubbed into English/American which is actually pretty annoying as they don't quite get expression and feeling right. Aside from a few plot holes, it's a brilliant program. It's about a team that rob the Royal Mint in Madrid. Solid 8/10 from me.
Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: byronkincaid on May 15, 2018, 03:09:49 PM I lasted 30 seconds on dub and switched it to subtitles. 7/10 for me. Thought it dragged a bit in the middle but I do love a caper story

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Sheriff Fatman on June 15, 2018, 12:55:50 PM I'm 9 episodes in to The Staircase on Netflix. Sophie wanted to watch it originally, as she'd listened to a podcast series about the same case. I wasn't too fussed so we put it on whilst I was messing around on the laptop and from me background watching the first couple we're now watching two episodes a night of them together. If it wasn't for the need to fit around Sophie's viewing I'd have binge watched the whole thing in a couple of days by now.
It's following a real-life murder trial, where a man accused of murdering his wife and faking the scene as a fall down a staircase, allowed himself and his defence team to be filmed throughout the case by a documentary team, so it's effectively a series of real-life footage of police investigation, defence deliberations and trial on an unprecedented scale. I won't give too much away, but there are sufficient real-life plot twists for it to feel like a scripted series (ironically, the accused man makes his living as a fictional author!) Utterly absorbing viewing and recommended (albeit I still have 4-5 episodes still to go).

Sophie has listened to the podcast series too and was disappointed that the 'owl theory' didn't appear in the TV documentary. If you read the wiki page, it makes references to it.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on July 25, 2018, 05:30:37 PM Probably the best, most comprehensive, warts & all documentary I’ve seen on the subject of Viet Nam: a 10 part Netflix series, with each episode at least 100mins.
No holds barred, you (& the US Administration) can see that it’s going to be an unwinnable shitfest of a conflict right from the outset. It’s compelling stuff, though, and you’ll see actual footage from all of the biggest battles that have found their way to the movie screens. The NVA & VC are generally portrayed as heroes, although they too were guilty of war crimes - not as bad as My Lai, however - and had their own internal political disagreements going on. Nonetheless, notwithstanding the plight of the average American footsoldier, you find yourself feeling glad that the North prevailed, since the South Vietnamese leadership was largely responsible for the war: the Americans simply backed the wrong side. Pretty much all the talking heads were participants, and each add a further dimension to the piece. Now, after being immersed in this for the last week or two, I’m looking for a little lighter viewing 😐 Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: MANTIS01 on July 25, 2018, 08:00:14 PM Alone Season 5 (Alone Retribution) has started on History in US but cannot find any indication of start date on History UK.

There is more tension in 5 minutes of this then there was in the whole of the Halloween reboot. Each episode focuses on a different character and the story line cleverly weaves between them all. I found it absolutely terrifying - I mean shout out loud scary. The jump scares are on point but there is a level of tension that is borderline unbearable. It also has some out of your seat OMG moments that are just the result of a brilliant twisting plot. Episode 5 is a standout amazing hour of tv.

:D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Mark_Porter on January 10, 2019, 01:47:34 PM I really love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
I only discovered it a couple of years ago but its black comedy is just done so well. It's one of the few shows that really makes me laugh out loud consistently and is about as un PC as you can get. This is a show with episode titled:- Charlie got molested Charlie gets crippled The gang goes Jihad Sweet Dee's dating a retarded person The most recent season was put on Netflix this week and I finished it last night. It's very hit and miss with a strong start and a poor second half. It has been toned back over the last few seasons for obvious reasons but has clearly started to lose its way and re-tread the same paths. That is until the final episode of the season which goes in a completely different direction and has one of the most amazing scenes I have seen in a long time. The build up over 13 seasons to this moment and everything it means to the character left me blubbing. Will almost certainly be one of my TV highlights of the year and hopefully bodes well for Season 14.

Who knew Michael Douglas could do comedy? Very few do New York Jewish comedy like Alan Arkin, so even if you don’t know who he is, you’ll alternate between crying with laughter and wanting to reach into the screen and strangling the guy.

A masterpiece. Extremely sharply written black comedy about a PR firm often required to resolve compromising situations for their celebrity clients. Anna Paquin plays the lead role, with a character who is battling a drug addiction and a destructive personality while being the best fixer the agency has Every detail is covered: the clothes are perfect, the direction superb and the machine gun speed of some of the lines is jaw-dropping. It's a sort of PR version of The Thick of It, with some Ugly Betty and a touch of Fleabag. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFRJg9WSeWg You'll find it on W or on the UKTV player.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on May 07, 2019, 07:47:49 PM I thought the same thing.

Talking of wheels falling off an otherwise credible plotline and an excellent series to boot... Killing Eve (BBC iPlayer) Watch it all other than the second half of the last last episode: suffice to say that it's been set up for a 2nd series, and all you need to know is...... ok I won't spoiler Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: DaveShoelace on May 07, 2019, 07:55:04 PM Only bit I found really grating throughout was here was old Ted, without a penny to his name, somehow the head of a massive crime enterprise at the same time, bit ridic even wtihout dragons and shiz.

Addendum: Now I know why this was such a good series (other than the final scenes). It was written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, creator of Fleabag: this woman is quite an amazing talent, and I forgive her for the ending - I suspect it wasn’t her version anyway, just forced upon her by the American money-wo/men. The two female leads have been shortlisted for BAFTAs, and the second series will be available live & on iPlayer later this year.

As good as the others. Nicely built up story line. The only real let down is Jessica Jones acting, but I'm not going to tell her. The script writers fully make up for it though.

We're ding the same; rewatching BB before watching El Camino. It's even better second time through, but we feel differently about some of the main characters to first time through (Walt and Jesse particularly). I think we over-binged it first time round and are savoring it more now. Better Call Saul is great too, but not sure I feel like they're managing to transition Saul or Mike from the protagonist of BCS to the 'orrible people they are in BB.

As early as season 1 we're feeling he's a selfish, vain, cowardly and manipulative character. And second time through, we're more sympathetic to Jesse from the outset. First time round we bought into the waster junky image we're presented with at the start, but second time through we were routing for him from the very early on and feeling really sorry for him.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Sheriff Fatman on November 04, 2019, 12:07:09 AM The first episode of His Dark Materials tonight suggests that they're finally going to do justice to the books with this attempt.

Fans of the book will thoroughly enjoy the experience. People not familiar with it may well enjoy a very unique storyline, which would be impossible to do justice to in synopsis. Brilliant stuff, and looks to have a brilliant cast in the key roles.

James Spader's character of Raymond 'Red' Reddington is my favourite TV character of all time. I saw a trailer for season 5 and was interested in seeing it. Found S1-3 on Now TV (used for GOT as do not have Sky Atlantic) and was hooked from Episode 1. One of the few shows that my son will leave his PC/gaming for. Season 6 has recently finished and can't wait for next season. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on December 30, 2019, 10:02:36 PM Yeah, Reddington is a great character.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: hector62 on January 06, 2020, 07:49:08 PM I don't think that this show has been mentioned before but I have just watched a programme called unbelieveable. It's based on a true story about a girl who is accused of making up a rape. The 8 part series follows 2 female detectives and how the investigation unfolds. There are no shootouts or car chases, just great scripts and acting. It was really gripping and I watched it all over the weekend , which is something I rarely do. It should be available on Netflix for those that have it.

I imagine the venn diagram of people who watch ITV, people who think it's worthwhile to vote in "peoples vote" awards ceremonies and fans of Mrs Browns Boys has quite a lot of overlap. I'd also speculate it overlaps a fair bit with fans of reality TV shows and Brexit voters as well but that's just incidental to the point :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Sheriff Fatman on January 29, 2020, 01:06:58 PM Binge-watched the second series of Sex Education on Netflix this week, and it's as good as the first one. Currently going through the sinking feeling of how long it will be for Season 3 to appear (currently being written).
Visually, it's stunning to watch, as the producers wanted to create a 'homage' to the 80s US coming of age films like The Breakfast Club. Its confusing as hell to begin with, as all the fashions and vehicles are 80's vintage, but yet everyone has mobile phones. Loved seeing some of the classic vehicles being used as the story progresses. Well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't yet seen it, and fans of series 1 won't be disappointed by the follow up.

After Life can't win, as it is on Netflix. I am sure it is great and all that, and will plenty of other awards. Why get angry though, if Ricky Gervais cared, he'd put it on the BBC? Though I dare say Mrs Brown's Boys viewers would be more likely to vote even if the number of viewers were the same.

Another recommendation to watch this. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Sheriff Fatman on March 31, 2020, 10:27:21 AM Just finished watching Avenue 5, the recent Sky series with Hugh Laurie and Josh Gad (voice of Olaf, from Frozen).
It's a comedy series based on a space cruiser being stranded in space. Naturally it has elements of Red Dwarf in it but, as you'd expect from Armando Ianucci, it has the deadpan style of humour of The Thick Of It within it too. I enjoyed it far more than I expected to. There are one or two genius comedic moments within it, most notably around the effects of gravity as the series develops. Worth a watch, and I'm hoping that it returns for a second series at some point. It's the sort of thing that you'll know whether you'll like it or not from the first episode, so not something that you'll have to spend a lot of time on if you're in the "or not" category.

Think it might be time to hear Clay Davis' dulcet tones again soon, though. Only 3 eps of Homeland left, too. The Good Fight has just started again, which I'm looking forward to. Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Woodsey on April 13, 2020, 04:22:12 PM Tiger King!
A fked up story of ego’s, rivalry and backstabbing in the world of exotic animal keepers in the US, there are more twists and turns than the Monte Carlo rally. Only half a dozen episodes or so and worth a look for something a bit different.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Woodsey on April 17, 2020, 12:13:27 AM Covid-19 lockdown update - just watched 'The Test' on Prime. A year and a half following the Aussie cricket team, felt a bit contrived in parts to show good blokeism above all but very enjoyable series. Little known fact, I played against Justin Langer when he played at Old Millhillians so could have easily been a documentary featuring me rather than JL but tbf, he pushed on a bit better in his cricket career. Thanks for that, watched over the last week and it was fantastic even though I knew the outcome. As you say good to see more about the real personalities in the Aussie team that we never see much about. If anyone likes this also please watch ‘the edge’ which is a similar albeit one off film about the England team...

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: Marky147 on April 27, 2020, 09:30:33 PM Think you'd get away with watching just this one, but having seen the lot would help tie a few things in.
Was some manic stuff in the middle seasons, but they're still worth watching. Not like we've got lots of socialising to do atm :D GG Homeland, you had a great run.

Pretty satisfactory final ep I thought and yep, can't really remember seasons other than the first one, but this one was pretty durn good Yeah, they did a good job. Usually the final seasons are the weakest, but this was great. We're lucky they didn't get shut down just before filming the last episodes like most shows.

Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: 4KSuited on May 02, 2020, 03:37:58 PM The Innocence Project - Netflix
Another series focusing on the injustices of the American Justice system. At least, in this case, every story has a fairly happy ending. I hadn’t expected to see forensic odontology as a target for improving justice, but once you’ve seen & heard Dr West you’ll know it’s the right call. The sheer volume of requests for help (over 1,000 every year) to the Project is frightening, particularly when you contemplate the amount of work that they must do to overturn a guilty verdict, and the amount of effort made by the prosecutor and the police to stymie their efforts - if only to save face and the cost of being sued. I love this kind of documentary. The righting of wrongs, the humility shown by the victims and indeed their legal saviours, and finally the joy they share upon freedom always gets me welling up. So, I’m biased, but it’s “A Big Fat 10” from me.

Man in the high castle as i haven't watched season 4 yet incred combination of alternative history with a bit of sci-fi thrown in where the Nazis and Japanese wont the second world war.. some of the scenes are quite chilling like American school kids instead of the morning pledge to the flag each morning pledging allegiance to Hitler & the Reich ..

No idea why I never watched it before now. It's not like I watched one episode and didn't enjoy it, just never even started. Very strange as I'm a big fan of series in general especially this type. Anyway I really enjoyed the whole thing and absolutely loved the end of season 4, nice to see a series end well as so many are absolute tripe. Bit of a shame to then go straight in to season 5 which I believe was made a decade or so later as it kind of took the edge off it and actually made the ending of season 4 seem like bollocks :D :D :D Title: Re: ***THE OFFICIAL TV SHOW THREAD*** Post by: scotty2hatty on May 19, 2020, 10:19:10 AM I think I have just become the last person in the world to watch Prison Break.
