Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 23, 2013 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2013 Anyone watching "The Blacklist"? I was sold on it after episode 1. Â I've given it a go but couldn't get into it. Loved Spader's character but couldn't stand the other main character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyV.2 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 just think the series certainly needed someone better/stronger than the bloke who plays Rick. Â You take that back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Been making my way through Seinfeld for the past few weeks and it's incredible how well that show has aged. You could debut it today and none of the characters or storylines would seem outdated. Plus, Elaine . Â I think Curb Your Enthusiasm is next on my list, followed by Eastbound & Down and Parks & Recreation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 New series of American Horror Story starts next week on UK Fox - do I need to have seen both of the other series to "get" it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twatters Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I haven't started season three yet but almost certainly not. Â There's no connection between season one or two, character or storyline wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2013 Just finished watching Broadchurch. I enjoyed it but as per usual it was let down by some hamminess & tacky shit which seems to plague all British drama these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely, ta. I do have Season 1 on Blu Ray to watch, but I've only got through a few episodes. Really liking it, but I haven't been able to find the time to devote to it.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted October 24, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Has anyone else been watching Gogglebox on Channel 4? Â The premise is simple, you watch a myriad of couples/families/mates sitting down watching the previous weeks television. Â It's a great little watch, especially the majority of the opinions being put across on television being so similar to your own. The moment I realised this show was great was when during highlights for the awful Downton Abbey a posh couple summed the show up, with the wife being exceptionally sentimental and with the hubby simply turning to her and proclaiming "What a load of old shit!" Â People mocking X-Factor and their intent to mock the socially weak is in there, awkward moments as sons sit around parents as sexy times pour out the screen are there also, and quirky finds of TV Burp hilarity are aplenty (especially with the Posh fella). Â Give it a watch ... it's great. Edited October 24, 2013 by Teedy Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Also, <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler how shit a cop are you that you don't realise your husband is behind it until very, very late?

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted October 24, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 Been making my way through 'The Killing' on Netflix. Not long started season 2 and it's got me pretty hooked so far. Though I've heard that the current cast sod off after season 2 and it then becomes pretty shit. Any truth to this?

patiirc Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Has anyone else been watching Gogglebox on Channel 4? The premise is simple, you watch a myriad of couples/families/mates sitting down watching the previous weeks television.  It's a great little watch, especially the majority of the opinions being put across on television being so similar to your own. The moment I realised this show was great was when during highlights for the awful Downton Abbey a posh couple summed the show up, with the wife being exceptionally sentimental and with the hubby simply turning to her and proclaiming "What a load of old shit!"  People mocking X-Factor and their intent to mock the socially weak is in there, awkward moments as sons sit around parents as sexy times pour out the screen are there also, and quirky finds of TV Burp hilarity are aplenty (especially with the Posh fella).  Give it a watch ... it's great.  The missus got me watching that one week, the squirming when the sex in a box thing was on was hilarious with the asian family who didnt know which way to turn and ended up making cups of tea.  Dont like the Jim Royle dude, Posh couple are great as are the two lasses on the sofa. It's alright, but nothing spectatular.   How has Masters of Sex got another series? A completely detestable lead, Michael Sheen plays him well, but he isnt likeable and some far fetched stories that just dont work It's almost like watching a mix of that cake thing with Anna Friel and Mad Men, but it's not very good, wonder if it picks up as the series progresses. Dont get me wrong the direction and setting is great, it's just that an unlikeable male lead and the stereotyped walking cliche of an assistant with a Ross/Rachel storyline and other absurdities are not progressing it much.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted October 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2013 That posh couple are professional Channel 4 appearers. They were even on the last series of Four in a Bed. So I wouldn't put too much stock in their reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This series on currently though has became must-watch in our flat. It's still fundamentally a completely shit show, but watching it with other people definitely improves it. The old bloke and his wife, the gay couple and the posh couple are the stand-out stars of the show. That posh bloke just being constantly hammered is a highlight.

Reminds me a bit of Flipside TV. Which they should still be making, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
