The new episode of Rick and Morty was crap.
The Legion finale was a bit of a bum note, but episode seven was a work of mad genius so it balances out.

Caught the first episode of Big Little Lies when the Mrs was watching it last week. Was just weird enough that I stuck on the other 6 tonight. Wasn't bad.
Crazy to think I started this thread 12 years ago.
Ahem.
Hope you're all doing well my lovelies xxxxx
Atlanta was dead good and that recent Dispatches on ISIS was stunning.
On a lighter note, Peter Kay's Car Share back on Tuesday 💓
Blimey, not a Harold IP either. Hey there.
Still in Swiss (Cottage), Phonics?
With some time in between, yes. The Wire is still the best show to come out between you posting this thread and this post as well which is a slightly depressing reminder that for all the worlds movement, nothing ever changes.
This is true. Good to hear you keeping well.
May have to scroll back through this thread to seek contrary thoughts but think Catastrophe is a pile of shit.
And they said this place was dead.
I'm in desperate need of a new TV show, if anyone can oblige.
I've watched the majority of the big hitters, looking for something that carries a theme over a season or number of episodes. Not interested in self-contained episodes, don't particularly want anything to do with cops. 3+ seasons already in the bank preferable.
The Americans.
The Americans.
Watched the first 6 or so and really enjoyed it but the missus wasn't properly hooked, so it's a chore to get it watched.
I love The Americans, though the latest series is getting a bit too AMERICA FUCK YEAH.
Holy shit SG
Billions.'Nuff said.
Billions is fucking awesome.Originally Posted by Limoutsonik
What is it about? Watching a trailer made me no wiser at all, except it has that annoying Homeland guy in it which is a little off-putting.
Damien Lewis is excellent, you cretin.
He's an alright actor, it's not that.
He just annoys me, the way he looks and how he talks. He sort of over-pronounces S of F or something like that and he always sounds like he's holding in a massive shit when he speaks as well.
Aye Billions is really good.
I think I'm going to plump for one of the following:
Black Sails
Designated Survivor
Vikings
I really like Black Sails but the third season is pretty shit.
I've only watched the first episode of season 4 but it doesn't seem like they've turned it around.
It does do a lot of things really well though and it is an enjoyable watch, especially if you like seeing naked ladies.
Any poussin on show?
A little bit but none have been plucked.
Designated Survivor is bilge. Black Sails is decent fun in a very sub-Game of Thrones, tits and violence sort of way.
The Leftovers is back on Sunday, so if you want something a bit grim you could whizz through the first two seasons and be on track for when that starts.
Not that it bothers me THAT much, but this is a perfect description of him as an actor. I think it works better in Billions than any other thing I've seen him in though. See for example:
I've been watching the US version of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
It's pretty good, but not perfect. It does capture some of the spirit of the books I think, with the winding storylines that like up as the story progresses. They need to stick the landing though.
Speaking of Car Share, this was by far the best bit:

Didn't realise Better Call Saul was back already. Two episodes gone so far.
I've just watched the first of the new season.
Toggle Spoiler
Archer is back too. There are about six great things back this month.
Toggle Spoiler
First episode of taskmaster is online
Brilliant.
Line up looks a little weak though.
Lolly Adefope is a massive twat so her being included is shit.
When is it on tv?
Fargo is back this week, not sure if that's been mentioned yet.
Also I'm a bit late to the party but fired through Man In The High Castle in the last few weeks. Has there been much chat about it in here?
Don't think anyone touched on much apart from how boring the two leads were and how epic a man Kido is. Excellent show.
I thought the first series was good and the second was really great.
I was pretty non plussed about it until the second half of season two which was brilliant.
Not loving the trade minister stuff though.
Kido's enunciation of ....Trade Minister is worth the whole thing on its own.
Agreed, that is brilliant. I find myself saying it randomly through the day to myself.
Tuesday I think.
The Good Place is brilliant. Thanks, @John.
Although there's not enough of it. I've finished it already.
I've started watching Utopia again.
I can't remember whether it didn't end properly (IIRC Channel 4 cancelled it) or not so looking forward to getting back into it. Don't think there's been a show with more style yet it's no way lacking in substance. Fantastic stuff.
One of the most tightly constructed and satisfying seasons of comedy I've seen. Michael Schur can do no wrong.The Good Place is brilliant. Thanks, @John.
Although there's not enough of it. I've finished it already.
Fargo and Better Call Saul back, praise be to Jesus.
Does anyone else use Showbox?
It's generally quite good but it doesn't seem to have of the latest seasons of Archer or The Americans. Anyone have any idea why?
Silicon Valley and Veep back too. As I said before, there's so much good stuff coming back this month.
Thoughts on Saul so far, anyone? Have you watched episode 2, Mahow?
Toggle Spoiler
Yeah, I'd agree with you.

How good is Veep? I still haven't gotten past S1 of Parks & Rec and I need another excuse not to.
