Keith Houchen Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) The always brilliant Jonathan Meades returned with the first of a two parter about Brutalism in architecture. He is one if the genuine intellects in broadcasting and this is ace. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen/tv/...eades_Episode_1 Edited February 17, 2014 by Keith Houchen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 True Detective is up on preview on Sky if anyone is interested. My boner for McConaughy is never ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 18, 2014 Just watched True Detectives episode 5. I won't go into details but this show is amazing. A brief synopsis makes it sound pretty generic but it's anything but. I don't think I've seen anything like it in terms of atmosphere, tension and creepiness. It creeps under your skin like nothing else. Â It also has the best opening credits on TV: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted February 18, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Just watched True Detectives episode 5. I won't go into details but this show is amazing. A brief synopsis makes it sound pretty generic but it's anything but. I don't think I've seen anything like it in terms of atmosphere, tension and creepiness. It creeps under your skin like nothing else. It also has the best opening credits on TV:  I almost couldn't bear the last ten minutes of the most recent episode. It was all so grimy and creepy, I was convinced [Fuck it. Spoiler tags are broke. Initials 'TYK'] was about to rear up and "RAAAAWR!" down the lens. Amazing television. Five episodes in, and it's one of the all-time greats. It's this generation's Twin Peaks. Edited February 18, 2014 by Astro Hollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 18, 2014 Absolutely. This show...it feels like everything ugly about human existence on screen but is just spellbinding. I have no idea how it's going to end but I feel like it's going to be something so horrific and disturbing that I can't even imagine. Every mention of "the Yellow King" just sends chills down my spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dil|kid Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Just watched the complete Mad Dogs, having enjoyed the first 13 episodes the final episode felt flat, such a letdown. I have my own theory on the ending but even that doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gadge Posted February 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 So, NBC are bringing Heroes back for a 13 - episode series called "Heroes Reborn" in 2015. Â Didn't it completely jump the shark well before it finished last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my own theory on the ending but even that doesn't make sense. First two series were very good I thought, especially the episodes with Ben Chaplin- who seemed to resurrect his 'Matt from Game On' character. The third series just got a bit weird for my liking. There's a special one-off final episode this year, isn't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm29195 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 So, NBC are bringing Heroes back for a 13 - episode series called "Heroes Reborn" in 2015. Didn't it completely jump the shark well before it finished last time?   The first season was brilliant, but it was all down hill from there... I seem to remember them really obviously rebooting either halfway through the second or third seasons, there was an excruciating bit in stereotypical Ireland. I don't recall specifics but I'm sure this was one of the worst victims of the writer strike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Oh, Heroes  Season 1 was painfully fantastic. But, Christ, things got bad. I managed season 2, which was average, but 3 episodes of season 3 was as far as I got. Edited February 23, 2014 by d-d-d-dAz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Heroes was fucking shit on all levels from day one. The amount of people who told me how good it was...who told me to stick with it...I watched the whole first season and it was a complete bag of wank from start to finish. It was never good. One of the worst shows ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 23, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2014 After really liking season 1 a lot , I made it about halfway into season 2 before giving up. It was like they took note of everything I enjoyed about each character and resolved to do the opposite with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 23, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 23, 2014 The first season was quite fun, but had an ending so terrible it rendered everything that came before it pointless. Then the show just got worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
