SteelEdge Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I know I'm way behind the times but I've just watched the first 3 episodes of Breaking Bad. Pretty decent stuff so far, looking forward to seeing where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members niff Posted March 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 14, 2013 Quick reminder to anyone who doesn't know, Parks And Recreation starts on BBC4 tonight at 10pm. I've never seen it before, so I'll be doing my best to watch. The first series is a tad slow so if it doesn't immediately grab you stick with it. It's an incredibly warm and funny show with some great characters. Â I shall do my best! Thanks for the suggestion. Â I've been watching this and I'm completely hooked already. May be because it reminds me of where I work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2013 Is Vegas any good? Need some good TV to download on Sky Go for when I'm on the tube. It's one of those programmes that sounds like it could be good, but I have a feeling it's probably a bit shit. Halfway through watching Falcon, which is alright.

KingOfMetal Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Only seen the first two episodes. Not bad, but not outstanding so far either but its still early days yet. Im working on the logic of 'It took Mad Men a while to get going in its first season'. Blue Bloods on Sky Atlantic is decent enough if you want something to just pass 45 minutes  Been watching The Big Reunion with mrs. Did Jay ever come back to Five, seen as he was being mentioned every other sentece Edited March 15, 2013 by KingOfMetal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 16, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 Cheers, I'll give the first episode of Vegas a go to see. Got a bit bored of Blue Bloods, seemed the usual wishy-washy American crime drama from the few episodes I saw. Might try Spartacus as well.

Loki Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 This current (UK) series of Sons Of Anarchy is the business. It's getting really dark, with plenty of violence. Could be the best series so far! Â Apparently, the new series starting this week called Boss is good - it's a political thing from the US starring Kelsey Grammer. Â Also, In The Flesh is getting good reviews.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 16, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2013 Finished episode 7 of Spartacus now. Yeah, it's fucking awesome. The ending to that episode was quite heartbreaking actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfan11 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Watched the last part of The Gambler on more4 last night, thought it was a entertaining documentary mini series. Never saw it first time round in 2000 but it was one of those documentaries that are light hearted and not taking itself too seriously so it was quite funny.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 18, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 Firstly, why didn't someone tell me Kevin Eldon had a new BBC2 show and secondly, did anyone watch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 18, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Been catching up with the new series of Community. Watched the first few episodes yesterday. Â It is still pretty much the same. Funny and watchable, yet patchy and a little annoying at the same time. They've lost nothing with axeing (axing?) Dan Harmon, so if he was as difficult to work with as some of the articles out there suggest it seems like they made the right call.

organizedkaos Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Been catching up with the new series of Community. Watched the first few episodes yesterday. It is still pretty much the same. Funny and watchable, yet patchy and a little annoying at the same time. They've lost nothing with axeing (axing?) Dan Harmon, so if he was as difficult to work with as some of the articles out there suggest it seems like they made the right call.  Really? I can't help but feel it's missing something now with Harmon gone. Stuff is touch broader (Inspector Spacetime convention with Matt Lucas being around), more saccharine (cleaning up the school end to the German episode) and the references are just piled on (whilst the Sitcom stuff in the first episode was somewhat tied into Abed as a character it felt a lot more 'Hey look at this' than the reference stuff in seasons 2&3 which were very linked to the group and characters). Theres still some very witty writing and the cast are still fantastic but it doesn't quite have the edge that drew me to it in previous seasons (not to say the previous seasons didn't have bad episodes or episodes that were too broad/saccharine/reference-for-the-sake-of-it but this has kinda been the case with every episode of this season).  Then again, Sitcoms do tend to get broader as they go on - for all I know Harmon would have done a similar thing. It's very easy to blame the changes on his axing. I guess as well it used to be pretty much my favourite thing on TV and now it isn't - that difference is more noticable than if I'd enjoyed it to an extent but had issues with it (as you say you do) Edited March 18, 2013 by organizedkaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Firstly, why didn't someone tell me Kevin Eldon had a new BBC2 show and secondly, did anyone watch it? Â I taped it, so I'll let you know. The review said "80% of viewers will hate this" so it sounds right up my street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff is touch broader (Inspector Spacetime convention with Matt Lucas being around), more saccharine (cleaning up the school end to the German episode)  It has already been going this way for a while. I've lost count of how many times Winger has turned over a new leaf. I really wish anything to do with Inspector Spacetime would just fuck off, and Abed lost his edge last season.  I don't disagree with a lot of your criticisms, but I don't think they're anything new or unique to this season.   Then again, Sitcoms do tend to get broader as they go on  Do they? I think there's a number of sitcoms (US specifically) that start with very one note stereotype characters, and take a while to find their feed and get some depth. This certainly used to be the case in the 90s anyway, before TV writing in general upped its game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Firstly, why didn't someone tell me Kevin Eldon had a new BBC2 show and secondly, did anyone watch it? Â SHITE. I had been waiting all week for it in anticipation then forgot it was on last night. I'm a tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
