    Yeah, skip it if need be. Season two of Parks onwards is one of the great comedy shows.

    I seen Silicon Valley near the top of the list when I was looking for Billions last night. I should never have let that one go, always meant to watch it.

    It's good, the wife doesn't love it but I find it quite enjoyable. It's not the best written thing in the world but definite easy watching.

    While it's a slow start I never understood the hate for season 1 of Parks and Rec. I never felt I was forcing my way through it.

    Speaking of actual shit, I stuck with Legends of Tomorrow for the second season but really need to bin it off. Flash is mindlessly watchable so I'll probably stick with that. Arrow is still the best of the lot and despite it giving Oliver the same personal arc about four times now it's once again repeating the trick of getting it's shit together as it gets near the end of the season.

    Legends is indeed a steaming pile of shit and yet I can't stop watching it.

    Never recall seeing an episode of that Parks and Recreation thing but Google tells me it's like a load of shows I've never really seen. Modern Family comparison does not bode well though.

    Something in my head tells me it's very like what awful thing Larry David did before though, is it?

    EDIT: Curb your enthusiasm.

    Haven't been able to get hooked on Parks & Rec, think I've got as far as season 3 once.

    They're similar in the sense that they're both mockumentaries but Parks is so much more superior.

    That's the word I couldn't think of for Modern Family. Can't be doing with them at all.

    Curb Your Enthusiasm is so good, you fucks. Parks is probably my favourite comedy show but it's not really like Curb at all.

    Curb is great except for the fact that it falls into the usual WHY AREN'T YOU AT FUCKING WORK trap that a lot of American sitcoms do.

    Does it? They're all showbiz people, Larry David wouldn't be working 9-5 in an office.

    Season One is weak. Season Two picks up, and after that, it's stellar.

    Using the alias The Dark Overlord, the hacker reportedly stole other TV shows in the breach, according to the AP, and may have already uploaded the first episode of “Orange Is the New Black” Season 5 to an illegal file-sharing website.

    He's uploading them. I've seen 1, 2 and 4 so far.

    Hulu, so you'll have to get it by other means.

    There are only three episodes out now, but I think it's going to run for ten. They released the first three all at once, then it'll be one episode every Wednesday for however many weeks.

    It's basically the standard episodic TV release structure, open up with a feature length episode then settle in to one a week, it's just really odd to see a streaming service doing it that way. It's not really suited to binging anyway, much too dark for that.

    I know it was announced a while back, but still fuming that Quarry has been cancelled.

    Edit: ah it hasn't been, just not renewed which I can't see happening due to no-one tuning in.

    The tracking shot in episode eight. Probably tops the one in True Detective.

    I wouldn't be so sure about it not getting a renewal. Cinemax is owned by HBO, and they've always been willing to carry something with low ratings as long as the critical response is strong, which I think it was with Quarry, to give it a chance to find an audience. They gave Outcast a second season, and about three people watched that.

    I started reading the book a few days ago so I'm going to have to hold off on the TV show for a while. My brother gave me it a couple of months back and told me it was great, and that a TV show was in the pipeline, but I thought it was still a month or so away for some reason.

    I got half way through the book and ditched it. After a strong start it quickly descends into 'weird for the sake of being weird' territory.

    I'm not particularly bothered about American Gods, but I hope it's brilliant and successful because Gaiman reckons it'll get a TV adaptation of Sandman off the ground.

    I think I'm maybe about a third of the way in, perhaps a little less, and it seems alright. It is quite weird though, and I'm starting to get a vague idea of where it's going so I'm sure things will get weirder.

    My main issue so far is that, because I'm aware of the existence of the TV show, I now have no choice but to picture the main character in my head as Calvin from Hollyoaks.

    The first episode (and the only one that's out how the fuck am I meant to binge it if there's only one episode) was pretty good, event though it's weird as balls. Enjoyable, well-acted/shot nonsense though.
