I watched all of Master of None yesterday, Aziz Ansari's new sitcom on Netflix.

I really enjoyed it. Funny, and really sharp. Very consciously doesn't rely on stereotypes, but didn't feel heavy handed.

Good music, too.

I want to believe you that's it's funny but I just can't.

 

Anyone watched the first few episodes of season 3 of Brooklyn nine-nine yet? The new captain played by Bill Hader is one of the most ridiculously over the top characters I've ever seen.

October has been great for new seasons. Currently going through these..

 

Walking Dead - Superb so far, already better than the last season for me

Blacklist - Brilliant. Could listen to Spader talk all day

Homeland - Struggling with it, but I'm hoping it'll get better like the last few seasons have

The Affair - It's just so good. The different take this season is very well done

You Me and the Apocalypse - Loving it so far. Some great moments. Stand outs are the main guy, Sharon from Birds of a Feather and Johnson from Peep Show (playing a very convincing homosexual)

Karl Pilkington Moaning of Life - Enjoying it, obviously not as good as the Idiot Abroad series but still has a few good laughs

Romesh in Asian Provocateur - Love Romesh so love this. It's basically Idiot Abroad with a brown guy

The Flash - Probably the best superhero series going. Just great!

 

It's clear that I'm enjoying my TV at the minute, probably need to leave the house soon.

The Eric Andre Show.

 

Here's a link to a random episode, there's a bunch free to view on AdultSwim...

It's as weird as fuck and most of you will probably hate it, but it has some amazingly funny moments. If you liked Space Ghost, it's like a more offensive, live-action version. I watched about 6 in a row (they are only short) and I felt my brain melting a bit.

cheers Chest, saw he was plugging it on Fallon and did wonder what he's been up to. Saw him standup in London and been a fan since. Will add it to the list! 

 

Currently watching the Affair S2 and the Bridge S3 - both top notch as expected. Highly recommended so far.

 

Anybody seen Aquarius, Leftovers S2, You me and the Apocalypse or Show me a Hero? 

Leftovers has been very good so far, bit of a shift from S1 but it hasn't hurt it at all.

 

Show me a Hero might be the best thing I've seen all year, absolutely adored it.

Leftovers season 2 is fantastic so far.

 

I watched season 1 at the weekend and I still don't know whether I like it or not. I think I'd have gotten bored if I was watching week-to-week and I don't know if I want to watch season 2. I missed the first episode on On Demand but downloaded 2-5 yesterday. Is it better than season 1?

Walking Dead: I thought the first 3 episodes were just brilliant. Definitely the best season so far until last week. Considering how tense the other episodes had been, I found this really boring and don't understand why it was an extended episode.

 

Asian Provocateur: I really liked this too. I like Romesh (have you seen Taskmaster?) and I hope there are more series like this from him.

 

The Flash: Annoyed with Sky On Demand about this - I downloaded eps 1 and 2  last weekend to see whether I liked it or not. I watched them both on Saturday and wanted to download the rest of the season but it's already been removed. Same thing with Boardwalk Empire. I watched eps 1 and 2 of this on Saturday as well but all the boxsets have been removed too. Bah.

That was bloody great.  I think.  Maybe.  Yes, it was.
