cleslie92 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Anyone on here watching Homeland? Really compelling stuff, thought that they would struggle with a second season, but by episode 7 they've progressed things to an entirely different level.

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted November 16, 2012 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2012 I need a bit of motivation to watch the end of S1 of Homeland. I've watched 8 episodes and whilst I think it's good, I don't find it anywhere near as addictive as the hype had suggested. To be fair, I thought the same of the first series of Breaking Bad and then that went up about twenty gears and became ridiculously good. Guess I'd better stick with it and get in to the second series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 I've been watching Arrow on Sky. I like it, the action and storylines are quite easy to get sucked into. Refreshingly the Mrs likes it too, making that a grand total of FOUR things we can watch together including football and wrestling. ...And X-Factor. Your missus watches football and wrestling? You lucky shite. Arrow is something me and the missus can watch, too, also rare for us. Hatfields & McCoys is another, which is pretty good. Anyone been watching this?

Paid Members Nick James Posted November 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 So, yesterday I got Billington'd and had my sky cut off. Will be getting it activated on Friday when I have been paid but untill then, I could do with some recommendations for a series to watch on Netflix, If you chaps could be so kind. Â I'm currently in the middle of watching Breaking Bad but can't seem to get into a flow of watching numerous episodes back to back due to quite a few of the episodes that don't have alot going on. Although it is great when stuff is happening, yo. Â I've watched Sons of Anarchy (Brilliant), Lost, Prison Break, Misfits, most of the comedies and alot of the documentaries.

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted November 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 Your missus watches football and wrestling? You lucky shite. Arrow is something me and the missus can watch, too, also rare for us. Â Admittedly on the night we met, those were two plus points where I thought "I could be onto something here." That, and it was actually valentines night ....And we were both pissed, and she's got smashing jugs and at the time, a sexy broken English accent. Â Neither stuff we normally watch has tickled the other's fancy, so we say down and went through the Sky box determined to find something we could effectively call our own an enjoy. We caught the Arrow pilot and although we didn't enjoy the pilot as much as we thought we might, it was still good enough for us to give it a whirl. Thankfully the three episodes since have been cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted November 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 Have you got the US version or just UK? Â The UK version, although I may look into getting the US version if there are some good series' on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 Just get the US one anyway. It's far superior for films and TV. Â On the UK one, I wouldn't look any further than Twin Peaks. In terms of something more modern, no idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted November 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'll switch to the US version this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'd better stick with it and get in to the second series. Claire Danes' acting can make it that way, at times. It's definitely worth trooping on though. Â I'm having a similar problem with the second season of Boardwalk Empire. I quite enjoyed the first season, but I'm finding it a bit of a chore sitting through the first part of the second season. Doesn't help that every episode is nearly an hour long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 The second series started quite slow Blackson, much like the second half of the first series. It picks up though, stick with it, and the third series is really good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 28, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2012 The new episode of Peep Show was absolutely ace - but Isy Suttie is a terrible, terrible actress. She seems to have somehow gotten worse. Johnson's eulogy was tremendous, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted November 28, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2012 Try watching her do stand up. Painful experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The alien Pee Wee Herman girl in Fresh Meat is worse, but based on some dialogue in last night's episode, her weird shitness is at least partly intentional. Quite a weird, anticlimatic ending to the series. Highlight was Josie's dancing when Oregon was all sad. Â I've gone off Sons of Anarchy a bit. The plot seems unnecessarily convoluted. Still great though, just some of the shine's gone compared to when I blasted through the first four seasons. Â US Inbetweeners is alright, but I was expecting more after some of the really positive comments on here. Â Might watch the first episode of The Mindy Project.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 28, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2012 So I've been watching Shameless for the first time recently and really enjoying it, but have a few questions - Â How can they afford to give away all that for free on 4od? Seems a bit nuts. Â I'm two seasons in. Does it maintain quality for the whole run more or less? Or does it fall off massively at some point? Â What's the US version like - any good? Really can't imagine it; it's a very British show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
