Paid Members Maverick Posted January 31, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 31, 2015 Have really enjoyed new parks, was a risk skipping forward in time but I think it's worked really well so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 31, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2015 It is! Great cast, fantastic attention to detail and period feel, it's something I'm looking forward to each week. Â This last episode was stolen by Anton Lesser and his giant rabbit.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 31, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2015 Charlie Brooker's new series this week calling one of the Wolf Hall characters "Jimmy Savile" nearly killed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 How far into it have you got Chest? I thought it was pretty average for the first 2 or 3 series and wondered what the fuss was about. It hits its stride eventually though and is well worth the wait. After watching to the end, I can't think of a show that's come close to it. True Detective maybe, but that's only had one series so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Watching True Detective back and whilst I think it's good I reckon it was well over rated on first viewing. Great jugs on the girl from Percy Jackson though and Woddy's sleaze is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely no further than the third though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undefeated Steak Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Â How far into it have you got Chest? I thought it was pretty average for the first 2 or 3 series and wondered what the fuss was about. It hits its stride eventually though and is well worth the wait.

Definitely no further than the third though. Â Â Stick with it. I was about to pack it in after that point too but there were a few posters on here who told me to keep going. It gets to a point (around the end of the third series I think) where it grows into almost an entirely different show. Having seen it to the end, I'd be gutted if I thought I'd have missed out on it because of the poor beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah a few people seem to give up in season 2. It definitely steps up a gear and evolves as it goes on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) From half way through season 3 (from after that shitty fly episode) Breaking Bad becomes the greatest thing ever. Â I can see now that the early seasons put the graft in to create rounded characters that you really cared about and, whilst I didn't hate them, if it hadn't been for the missus I'd have jacked it in during season 2 (and probably again at the start of season 3).

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted February 2, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 2, 2015  Sorted! You're the only other person I know that has said they've seen that! I liked that film (but I'm a sucker for any film with a clubbing/raving backdrop). Tim Curry hamming it up, Jason Donavan put in the performance of his life, quality soundtrack. Always thought it'd be better with Andrew Lincoln as the lead time though.  Aye, Punky! I’m a big fan of most flicks that centre around the clubbing scene myself. I bought a triple pack of Sorted, South West 9 and Human Traffic box set years ago which I only bought for South West 9 – already had Traffic - as I didn’t think Sorted looked all that good, but wound up preferring Sorted out of the two. Plus, that dirty redhead one hairy aping the lead had me loop/a-b’ing that scene on dvd many a time. Seb Fontaine this Saturday in Dublin too.  Anyways, I've started on Moonlighting again. It's fucking tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass Smash Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I see that The Jump is just as shit as it was last year. It's so annoying when they do the actual jump at the end to keep their place when one goes on the middle jump and the other does the smaller one. It's pretty obvious who's staying and who's going. They should make them do the same fucking one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got round to watching it before so will be giving it a go this afternoon. I mainlined the first 5 episodes last night. Ok so far. Not amazing but entertaining enough. Plenty of Alison Brie which is good, struggling not imagining her shrieking "Peter!" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 3, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm about half way through season 1 of House of Cards. It's basically Veep but without the jokes. It's okay-ish but seems to be trying so hard to be clever that it often forgets to be entertaining. They don't give you any reason to care about any of these awful people.
