Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2016 There's a lot of people I like in that trailer - I will definitely give it a go. Â Anyone try watching Flaked? I started the first episode and it didn't seem to be a comedy at all, which is what I thought it would be and I turned it off. Wondering if it is worth giving a go again.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 That trailer for grinder looks good but it doesn't look like it's got 24 episodes of novelty. If it was a movie, I'd definitely watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 There's a new comedy starting on E4 tonight called Angie Tribeca starring Rashida Jones from Parks and Rec. It's a parody of US cop shows. It's already been renewed for a second season in the US. It might be worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2016 Yeah, someone mentioned it on here recently. They compared it to Police Squad, and I would agree from the trailer I saw. I think it will be a bit too silly for me, but I'll check it out.

Metallica Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I mentioned it  Angie Tribecca is silly but it's amusing enough most of the time that you just need to go with it. Lots of visual gags and stupid situations like the cop who throws up at every crime scene regardless of it being at all disturbing.  **  Don't let the number of episodes put you off The Grinder. I'm up to episode 5 and it's not getting tired. Give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted April 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) I hated Angie Tribeca. I enjoy most of what Rashida Jones does but AT has almost no redeeming features. Everything is really forced and the supporting cast are pretty awful. Edited April 28, 2016 by Maverick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted April 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's no Police Squad!, that's for darn sure! I agree with Goose on pretty much everything he said. Nothing flows right and it's all a bit "Look at us, we're being silly and deadpan" whereas Leslie Nielsen et al were effortless in their approach. I found it on par with the MacGruber movie more than a "Zucker Brothers in their pomp" effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2016 Urgh. MacGruber was horrendous. I take back my commitment to give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think I laughed twice during that film (the two sex scenes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallica Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Tribeca is better than McGruber. It's more like a dumbed down version of Touch of Cloth  (parkour chase scene in one episode seems ripped off from it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm not usually affected by much anymore but I've had to turn the Louis Theroux doc off. Not sure if I can watch the rest and I'm only 20 minutes in. So sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted April 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2016 Line of Duty has been out fucking standing. Roll on Series 4! Â I hope AC-12 are to investigate Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted April 29, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Fucking love The Grinder. One of the writers hosts a podcast called Hollywood Handbook which is in character as a douchebag Hollywood producer/director/movie star that is just fantastic. If you're into Comedy Bang Bang or anything similar I can't recommend it enough.  Edited April 29, 2016 by gmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted April 29, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2016 Line of Duty has been out fucking standing. Roll on Series 4! Â I hope AC-12 are to investigate Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department in it It really has, hasn't it? I've watched all 3 series' in about 3 weeks and now I'm gutted its finished. I don't think there will be a series 4, however. It seemed to come to a logical conclusion in last nights final episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
