Do we live in a golden age of television?

[Boydy]

I watched the first season of Continuum. It had quite a nice time loop thing going on and the casting director deserved every award going for that year for the actor he/she found to play the 'older' version of one character, but it's basically bobbins. I reckon it's right up your street, as long as you don't go into it expecting The Wire.

Have a look at Falling Skies, Boyd. The 'Skitters' lols alone should see you through about fifty episodes.

Aye, I'm not expecting The Wire, like. I just like these nonsense sci-fi shows.

I saw the trailer of Falling Skies but I thought the CGI aliens (skitters lol) looked pretty ropey.

[John]

The CGI is crap, but CGI in television shows is almost always crap.

Ideally you'd watch Battlestar Galactica, which has the trappings of a 'nonsense sci-fi show' and could probably be enjoyed on that level, but uses that base to tell some seriously great stories. That said, the first episode would probably put most people looking for mindless bunk off right away. It's genuinely grim.

[AE]

Aye, I'm not expecting The Wire, like. I just like these nonsense sci-fi shows.

Sounds like you'd like The 100 - basically someone nuked earth, and like a few hundred years later they send 100 people down too see if it's okay to live on again. It's worth a watch, lots of stories develop.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Aye, I'm not expecting The Wire, like. I just like these nonsense sci-fi shows.

You do? Apologies then, Continuum is bang in that category.

It gets a bit better CGI wise.

The final season annoyed me purely because all these fucking military men decided to hold their rifles sideways.

[Boydy]

You do? Apologies then, Continuum is bang in that category.

Yeah, I've been talking about Jericho and Revolution - both were so rubbish they got cancelled after two seasons. Not really into space stuff but post-apocalyptic or time travelling themes, yes please.

Also Orphan Black is great but it's an actually good show. Not fluff like these others.

[Pepe]

I've started watching Seinfeld at long last. It is good but the stand up bits in between are pretty relentlessly shit, I usually just skip through them now.

They get better later on but still could do without them.

[phonics]

Falling Skies is bunk. There's crap telly and then there's telly that's actually crap.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Continuum can be pretty silly at times but it's enjoyable fare, considering what you've said, I reverse my position.

You'd like it.

Really? I always thought it was one of those really bad sci-fi series that only Star Trek geeks watched?

Fringe is amazing, talking about Sci-fi. At least I fucking loved that series.

[phonics]

Was that TV version of Limitless as wank as any TV show based off a movie sounds?

Boydy, have you watched Justified? I think it'd give you the kick you're looking for.

[John]

Really? I always thought it was one of those really bad sci-fi series that only Star Trek geeks watched?

Fringe is amazing, talking about Sci-fi. At least I fucking loved that series.

Nope. It was genuinely great.

Fringe was good for a couple of years, with John Noble carrying the entire enterprise on his back at times, but I produced some splenetic rants about it on the old board. There's a narrative choice going into, I think, season four that's among the worst I've ever seen.

[phonics]

When they split the timelines it fell to pieces. It was much better as a mystery of the week with overarching narrative show.

[Mazuuurk]

I thought it was completely amazing throughout. The only thing that felt slightly off was the very last season, but that was apparently not "meant" to happen. At the same time that did tie up some loose ends anyway.

The split timelines thing wasn't too bad, although Fauxlivia was a little fucking annoying.

[phonics]

Bloody hell there's a Minority Report TV show too? Who is paying to produce all these movie > TV shows?

[AE]

Bloody hell there's a Minority Report TV show too? Who is paying to produce all these movie > TV shows?

Yeah but it's really shit, probably last another 2 weeks.

[Giggles]

That ad for Sherlock that was just on BBC One better be just set 100 years ago for the sake of the ad and not a sign of what's coming.

[phonics]

I just watched the first episode of Quantico. It's Homeland meets Saved By The Bell. It's probably absolute rubbish but there is something a bit moreish about it.

[Bernanke]

For anyone who enjoyed Mean Girls, Scream Queens is fucking amazing. It's so hilariously over the top.

[Toby]

I struggle to believe the guys who came up with Glee and American Horror Story have since created something that warrants comparison to Mean Girls.

[Angelsaint]

Ended Gotham and I recommend.
Also finished Last man on earth and even the end was meh, the show got some heavy laughs from me.

[phonics]

Arrow is still walking that tightrope between quality and god awful.

[Angelsaint]

I only watch arrow and flash for that matter if I have no other show to watch and loads of time to kill.

[Foe]

Did not realise sons of anarchy was seven series.

I thought it was five.

Also discovered another series of grey's anatomy available :drool:

[niko_cee]

I like how they're really upping the ante with these cancer stories on Gogglebox. Doting widower robbed of his inseparable best friend of 30 years obviously didn't bring enough donations in, roll out the dead 10 year old. What next, a bus full of pregnant women crushed by a giant, novelty tumour?

[Kikó]

The first season of Fear the Walking Dead was enjoyable enough. Nice to see another take on the world falling to shit.

[Boydy]

Why have they made a spin-off of The Walking Dead when it's still going? What's different about it?

[Pepe]

Different shade of shit.

[Kikó]

It's easy to make and it's in a stand alone universe. This one is back at the start but based in LA.

[Foe]

Fuck off have they done that. Jesus.

They must interlink the stories at some point which means dragging the shit out of the walking dead.

[Max Power]

Narcos is decent but I kind of hoped the voiceover was a first episode, scene-setting thing. Bit annoyed now, and lazy.

[Bernanke]

Narcos is decent but I kind of hoped the voiceover was a first episode, scene-setting thing. Bit annoyed now, and lazy.

I still haven't picked it back up because of it.

[John Arne]

It also should have also ended after 1 season.
Not quite sure how they are going to drag out the next 2 years of hiding to a whole new season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Watched the first three episodes of The Americans, I think it's brilliant.

[John]

Ended Gotham and I recommend.
Also finished Last man on earth and even the end was meh, the show got some heavy laughs from me.

Did you not find that Last Man fell to pieces as soon as it tried to move beyond treating the world as a huge playground? The characters were all flimsy and changeable, so the moment it tried to become a character piece it shit the bed.


The first season of Fear the Walking Dead was enjoyable enough. Nice to see another take on the world falling to shit.

I haven't watched the last episode yet, but...

Did it annoy you at all that despite claiming that they were going to show the downfall of society they basically skipped through it, and by the end of the third episode had their main characters living inside a fenced off community? It was supposed to be looking at the whole thing from another angle and it took them three episodes to fall back on exactly what they know.

That the riot scenes looked so cheap and small-scale didn't help, though that couldn't be avoided unless they filmed the second episode in actual LA rather than the first. That's a point though, why set it in LA? They have their pick of locations, any of which would have drawn the same audience since the location itself wasn't part of the pitch; why choose to set it somewhere they can't film long term, thus locking themselves into a pattern of having to hide the scenery lest they give away that they're actually filming about a thousand miles away from where they claim to be?

The two leads are good, though I think that's more to do with the actors being inherently likable than the characters being any cop, and I like the Latino bloke (Guatamalan isn't he?), but every other character can die. Particularly the 'THIS IS IMPORTANT' kid who had the video camera in the early going.

[Bernanke]

:nodd:

I started re-watching it on Netflix. The opening scene with Tusk playing is so fucking good.

"Which year? Because '64 to '72 were pussies, they didn't even medal.”

I haven't watched the last episode yet, but...


Yes, I did. Therefore I made a pause and watched Gotham instead, picked up again after I was finished with Gotham.
Still was funny and let's not forget it is a comedy not a drama.

Anywho is this Americans show any good? I felt tempted to watch it but the risk of being Americans wanking themselves how great they are like they subliminaly do it in house of cards made me never start on it.

[Max Power]

I still haven't picked it back up because of it.

I'm still watching becuase it's entertaining enough. Don't understand why they persisted with the VO though, most of the time it's completely redundant.

I didn't realise that was the angle they were trying to portray so it shows how successful it was. I didn't realise the LA thing either... (clearly not paying attention).

Agree on the leads. I like that a lot of them have gone from zero to fucking kill the zombies no matter what within a few episodes. None of the moral agonising.

[phonics]

A comedy still needs sturdy characters, particularly when it's trying to use their natures to generate the laughs. Gotham is terrible, so the less said about that the better.

The Americans is about Russian agents working against America in the eighties. Seems like your reading of that was much like your reading of the title of this thread.

Yeah, the point was to show what happened in between. How society broke down and shambling twats with no survival instinct overwhelmed the military.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And Gotham is getting worse with every episode.

[Yevrah]

It's been years since I've watched it, but I started thinking about Lost again the other day and having sorted through a couple of hard drives this morning I realised I still had all of this.

[John]

Second episode of The Leftovers, first of the second series of Fargo, and the new Walking Dead tonight, all on at the same time. What do Americans who aren't filthy pirates do?

[Yevrah]

Did the first episode of The Leftovers do ok as far as ratings go?

[John]

I have no idea.

Viewership for the first run was dismal even by HBO standards though, so I doubt it'll have been a ratings winner.

[Yevrah]

Having just looked only just over 700,000 watched it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Leftovers_episodes

Goodnight sweet prince.

[John]

Yeah, they're not getting a third on those numbers. That said, they'll probably go up, because the official numbers are based on some live+7 thing which allows for people watching it within the next week having recorded it, and those numbers won't be available yet, so we'll see how that changes.

For context, Game of Thrones does about eight million viewers a week, Walking Dead does about fifteen, and fucking NCIS regularly tops twenty.

I wonder if anything will ever come close to MASH, the finale of which drew one hundred and twenty million viewers.

[Demerit]

Is Fargo season two on british TV at around the same time as American like Walking Dead?

[John]

I doubt it. Has the first lot even been on here at all yet?

[Adamski]

Yep, channel 4 had it.

[Demerit]

Just looked it up, season two starts on Channel 4 next monday.

[Yevrah]

Is anyone still watching South Park? Just dawned on me that I haven't seen any episodes from the last two seasons.

[Kikó]

Walking Dead is back :drool:

[Cord]

Got round to watching the second series of Penny Dreadful, which was a solid improvement on the first to the point where I'd now class it as genuinely good TV as opposed to the previous moderately hokey fun. It's got some of the best writing, characters and actors on TV, but I think it's still being let down a bit by the main plot, which is a bit nonsense and as with the first season, really rushed through at the end.

Even Billie Piper ended up being pretty good in it, which must win some sort of award for the most unlikely thing ever.

[Boydy]

Second episode of The Leftovers, first of the second series of Fargo, and the new Walking Dead tonight, all on at the same time. What do Americans who aren't filthy pirates do?

PVRs and on-demand services, surely? There must be plenty of legit options in the US for watching that stuff when it's just been on TV.

I've been watching You're the Worst (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27re_the_Worst) recently which isn't too bad. Quite a nice cynical comedy rather than a lot of the far-too-happy and sickly sweet stuff you often get from the US.

I watched the first episode of Justified earlier today as well. People on here loved that, didn't they? Seemed decent from the first episode. It'll probably take me a few to get properly into it though.

[Cord]

I am a big fan, but you have to give it a while. The first half of the first season is a little weird and out of step with the rest of it (individual standalone episodes), so most of the weaker episodes are in the little bit you are coming up to. The second bit of season 1 where it becomes a lot more serialised is good stuff, and it takes off from there.

It wasn't a serious question. We have Sky+.

'You're The Worst' seems like a title that should have been trademarked by the Parks people for a future Jean-Ralphio spinoff. I've heard some good things about it, but haven't watched any of it yet.

Justified takes a while to properly get going in terms of plot, but the characters are richly drawn and the dialogue is absolutely perfect from the get go.

For those of you who didn't watch Fargo before, the first ten episodes are on Netflix now, and you're going to want to watch them because they're fucking brilliant and the second ten start tonight.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D5RQNdp5X4

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've seen odd episodes of Justified and it really is enjoyable stuff. The setting is brilliantly conveyed.

[Yevrah]

I hadn't heard of it, but having checked the synopsis on IMDB, I'm still none the wiser.


Old-school U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is reassigned from Miami to his childhood home in the poor, rural coal-mining towns in Eastern Kentucky.

[Boydy]

It wasn't a serious question. We have Sky+.

I did think of that before posting but then I thought it only lets you watch one channel while recording another so if three programmes were clashing you'd have to find some other way to watch the third, no? I was just trying to say that the on-demand options over there must be so much better though since our TV channels takes ages to import American stuff so it's so much easier/more necessary to be a pirate over here if you want to watch things at the pace they actually come out at (i.e. US pace).



'You're The Worst' seems like a title that should have been trademarked by the Parks people for a future Jean-Ralphio spinoff. I've heard some good things about it, but haven't watched any of it yet.
It's not brilliant or anything but it's got enough laughs in it to keep me watching.

[John]

I hadn't heard of it, but having checked the synopsis on IMDB, I'm still none the wiser.

If Phonics didn't recommend it a couple of weeks ago when you were asking for new things to watch it could only have been because he didn't see your post.

A bloke works for the US Marshal's, he has a sort of 'shoot first, ask questions later' policy which leads to some problems, and in the end the only office that'll take him is the one in the region from which he came. Old family feuds and various other problems arise from there.

It's very entertaining, though I've only seen into season four so can't comment beyond that.

[phonics]

Speaking of Justified, guess who the bad guy in Arrow is?

http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/3/3e/JustS3E03_25.jpg/600px-JustS3E03_25.jpg

So good.

[Alex]

Yeah, I was well pleased when he turned up. I'm happy for him to just be Quarles again if he wants. Such a great villain.

Also, how ridiculous does Diggle look in his "costume". Which seems to just consist of a stupid helmet. It makes it funnier that he's all angry and shit now and just looks a complete tit. :D

[phonics]

The idea of him leading a crime fighting team that includes Laurel and Thea is so laughable it almost makes sense that the city has fallen to pieces within minutes.

[Alex]

Yeah, "Team Arrow" are a complete shower of shit. Thea getting shot at whilst giving it the typical teenage girl 'Oh my God! This is so awesome!" spiel was cringeworthy as fuck. Oliver's "I am the.........GREEN Arrow" speech was very anti-climatic as well. I don't think anybody is going to care that you've added a colour to the name of the (supposed) previous guy, mate.

Other than Quarles turning up I wasn't hugely sold on it as a season opener if I'm honest.

I'm currently catching up on the last few episodes of season one of The Flash, because that's back too and I stopped watching with about four to go for some reason. Oliver just turned up in the penultimate episode and it's reminded me how much cooler he was in the Al Sah-Him get up.

[phonics]

As we're on the subject of terrible comic book shows, how's Heroes Reborn?

[Bernanke]

Got round to watching the second series of Penny Dreadful, which was a solid improvement on the first to the point where I'd now class it as genuinely good TV as opposed to the previous moderately hokey fun.

Three seasons of Archer down. What a show.

"I'm not a serial killer..."

[Spammer]

Decent looking programme about spoken word poetry on BBC4 at the mo if any of you philistine cunts are interested.

Can't. Wheeler Dealers is on.

I absolutely fucking blitzed the whole of Archer and then wished I hadn't because I didn't have it to watch any more :(

It's fantastic.

[Boydy]

If any of you Archer lovers haven't seen Bob's Burgers, get on it.

[phonics]

That show is bad. All these modern cartoons are. I saw that one with the Park Rangers a while back and it's fucking terrrible.

edit:

This nonsense


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zpWXinvQ-I

So wacky.

[Boydy]

Archer or Bob's Burgers?

It doesn't matter, you're wrong either way.

[randomlegend]

Admitting to not liking custard and Archer/Bob's Burgers on the same night :harold:

Can we overthrow him now?

[phonics]

The Burgers one. Archer was quite good until it jumped the shark around the Archer Vice period.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Can't. Wheeler Dealers is on.

Why does the one in the garage always SHOUT so much?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If any of you Archer lovers haven't seen Bob's Burgers, get on it.
Indeed, it's great.

The Burgers one. Archer was quite good until it jumped the shark around the Archer Vice period.
You're wrong about Bob's and whilst Archer Vice wasn't that great it was still decent enough and they pulled it back again with the newest season.

[Angelsaint]

Just saw the first two episodes of heroes reborn and it was a totally disgrace. I do understand they are introducing new characters but... Bitch please!

And what was that excrement about a video game? I can see the bright side, it can't go lower.

Most disgusting thing is that I am eager to see the next episodes in hope it gets at least near the quality of first season but please no more video games! And yes I see the interest in Asian and Spanish markets behind these bad ideas.

[John]

Season two of Fargo is off to a hell of a start. That was absolutely brilliant.

I haven't watched the second episode of The Leftovers yet. I'll get into it later.

[Baz]

Getting towards the end of season five of Workaholics, and starting to realise I'm really gonna miss it. Might even be my favourite comedy show ever. :eek: I laugh out loud at least once an episode, and Adam Devine absolutely nails his character everytime. It's made even better by the fact that the three (well, four if you count Carl) guys write it themselves.

I've already planned to get back into It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia when I'm done with it, because I stopped after season two first time round. I just hate how low budget it was when it started.

Thankfully there will be at least two more seasons (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/09/workaholics-renewed-comedy-central-season-6-7) of Workaholics in the future.

[simon]

Finished the first season of Ballers earlier.

I love it. It is very Entourage-like and that's wonderful. Also, Denzel Washington's son sounds scarily like his Dad, Anabelle Acosta needs to marry me and failing that I'll take Arielle Kebbel.

[Yevrah]

Dave Gorman's raising the 'not actual game footage' in video game adverts, as I did on the old board.

[Alex]

I didn't realise that was Denzel's son, but it all makes sense now.

I liked it too. Good, light entertainment. Great soundtrack as well. The bald, white agent guy annoyed me a bit though. He just felt like a shit version of Charlie Runkle from Californication.

[Browning]

Dave Gorman's raising the 'not actual game footage' in video game adverts, as I did on the old board.

The jigsaw bit he just did was brilliant.

[John]

Dave Gorman's raising the 'not actual game footage' in video game adverts, as I did on the old board.

The 'Sugar Puffs' bit from a few weeks ago was an almost word for word retread of something from a previous series, I'm sure.

[Yevrah]

I wasn't suggesting he reads TTH.

[John]

Neither was I. Where the Dickens has that come from?

[Browning]

The 'Sugar Puffs' bit from a few weeks ago was an almost word for word retread of something from a previous series, I'm sure.

The "not the scariest tracksuited monster from the 70s" line was on the advert so I'd seen it about 100 times before it aired. Not sure if that's what you're thinking of though.

[Tubes]

Fargo was outstanding. One of the best series openers I've seen in a long time in any show.

[Yevrah]

This jigsaw thing is brilliant.

[Reg]

Intrigued by this Fargo hype, I loved the first season. Are you guys downloading it?

[Giggles]

I never knew what Fargo was but seen a trailer the other day that looked really good. How many series in is it?

[John]

Your complete refusal to actually read the thread you're posting in is beginning to become vaguely endearing.

It's at the beginning of the second, but it's an anthology so season one is a complete story, and season two will tell a separate story.

[phonics]

1. It's based on the Coen Brothers movie.

[ItalAussie]

If anyone's looking for a quick, self-contained series that's a bit different to the normal recommendations, I suggest they watch the Australian comedy series 'Utopia'.

It's centered around an infrastructure department commissioned by the government, and how they deal with government meddling, special interest groups, etc. I realise this is sounding very dry, but it's more like Parks and Recreation, albeit a little more plot-driven and a little less character-driven. And it's largely very funny. Worth a watch.

Two seasons, eight episodes per season, half an hour each. Very digestible.

[John]

Have you seen the original Australian version of Comedy Central's 'Review with Forrest MacNeill', Ital?

[Jimmy Floyd]

I saw a bloody brilliant Australian political thriller a while back. It was in about six parts. You'll have to help me with the title, but one of the lead characters was an autistic computer hacker and the other one was a journalist. It was refreshingly lacking in corporate production values, whilst still having a modern sheen.

[John]

The Code.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34528586

Stephen Fry stepping down as host of QI with Toksvig to replace him :(

Ugh.

[Ian]

I quite like Toksvig as a panelist on it but a) it seems she just gets any job she fancies now and b) just not sure of her as a host. Not that I know who I'd have picked. Won't be the same without Fry.

[Shindig]

That show always felt chummy enough that a regular panelist could probably manage it. I think if it wasn't Toksvig it would've probably wound up being David Mitchell or somebody.

[Reg]

Ah that's a big shame, Stephen's great and I'm really not a big fan of Toksvig. She's pretty one dimensional.

I wonder if it'll be less about making out Alan Davies to be a dunce. You can tell he's getting fed up of it - it's a bit like Paul Merton on HIGNFY, he's completely bored of it all. They've each done a million series to be fair.

[Toby]

I wonder if it'll be any less up itself without him? Probably not, but we can at least hope.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

So, Arrow...

Sara coming back again? lol.

[Alex]

So, Arrow...

I haven't seen the latest episode yet (although I read the spoiler anyway :D) but:

She's going to be in that new, "Legends of Tomorrow" spinoff isn't she? So I suppose it had to happen.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

She is yes but it's just crazy how many times she has been 'dead' only to pop back up now.

Someone is dying in 6 months on the show, maybe it's her again.

She is yes but it's just crazy how many times she has been 'dead' only to pop back up now.

Someone is dying in 6 months on the show, maybe it's her again.

:D

Maybe.

Felicity would be the obvious choice to die wouldn't she? But I think a bit too obvious. I've got a feeling it will be Diggle for some reason. That's based on nothing in particular though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

My money is on Thea.

Could be Laurel though, would make a nice change for the other Lance daughter to feel what it's like.

[Alex]

My money is on Thea.

Could be Laurel though, would make a nice change for the other Lance daughter to feel what it's like.

I'd be pretty happy with that.

Laurel is pretty annoying, and it would make sense that her hit and miss, "one week I'm kicking the shit out of the League of Assassins, the next I'm almost getting killed by random street thugs" style of fighting would finally catch up on her.

I don't know about Thea because they've already killed her once and then brought her back. But, as you have correctly pointed out with Sara, this means very little in Arrow-world.

[Alex]

Also, Mahow, do you still watch Hell on Wheels? I seem to remember you being the only other person I ever saw mention it on the old board (I may be wrong about this though) and I've just realised the first half of the final season has aired completely without me even noticing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I watched the first season and liked it but never started the second.

I keep meaning to get back into it though.

[Alex]

You should, it's really good. The season finales are nearly always ridiculous, but don't let that put you off.

I am a bit of a sucker for a Western though. Plus I've got a borderline case of man-love for Bohannon. He's such a cool bastard. :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ffs, why is Bob's Burgers taking a week off already after having only started last week? Fucking American TV scheduling.

Even worse now.

Second episode on the 11th of October with the third being on the 8th of November...

Seriously, what the fuck?

[John]

The American 'network season' runs about thirty weeks, and no show makes that many episodes, so they all take weeks at a time off. For the most part they work out a start date and an end date, and then fit everything else in wherever they can. Summer TV and cable stuff are basically the only things that get to run uninterrupted.

A year after it was axed, Revolution fans finally will get closure.

A new digital comic book from DC Comics will be released in May to give resolution to the drama's story lines that were left open-ended, Warner Bros. Television announced Wednesday. Warner Bros. Television produced the series, which NBC axed in May 2014 after a two-year run.


Following passionate fan efforts to bring the series back, Revolution's writing staff reassembled to break the story for the digital comic book. Series writers David Reed and Ryan Parrott penned the four new chapters.


Beginning May 4, one of four separate digital chapters will be rolled out every two weeks. Each of the four chapters will have a specifically designed cover, all illustrated by DC Comics artist Angel Hernandez. Fans can get a first look at the Revolution character illustrations here.


Each of the four chapters will debut exclusively on www.ComicBook.com (http://www.ComicBook.com) one week before they are made available on Revolution's Facebook page.


Revolution's creator and executive producer Eric Kripke penned a special thank-you message to fans timed to Wednesday's announcement. "The loyalty you've shown Revolution these past months has been touching and overwhelming — it's meant more to me than you'll ever know," he wrote. "And solely because of your efforts, we wanted to pay you back — to give you something fantastic. And while, unfortunately, we simply can't make more episodes of the show (alas, there are financial realities we can't overcome), we can do the next best thing. Which is end the story. On our terms. Exactly the way we would have."


Revolution was executive produced by Kripke, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, Rockne S. O'Bannon and Jon Favreau.

[Boydy]

Shit news about Bob's Burgers.

Good news about Revolution.

Although I still haven't bothered to get the comic book of Jericho.

[Baz]

Yesterday I watched three episodes of Doctor Foster.
Today I watched two episodes of Mr Robot.

Not really feeling either of them, but will probably see them both out; purely because I've nothing else to stare at for hours on end.

[Mazuuurk]

Anyone have a tip for a series that is a bit like Fringe or X-Files?

[Yevrah]

I've never watched it, but is Millennium with Lance Henriksen similar?

[Giggles]

I see ads for Fargo series two starting on Channel 4 or E4 soon and I like the look of it. Is it a thing I could just start watching from there or would the first series be a must beforehand?

[Mazuuurk]

I've never watched it, but is Millennium with Lance Henriksen similar?

Good shout, looks quite interesting and like what I'm after, but I see it was cancelled, which will mean an abrupt and likely unsatisfying ending to the story, which I wanna avoid.

[Boydy]

Orphan Black, Maz?

[Mazuuurk]

Cheers Boydy that might be a good shout. Gonna try it out I think.

I'm currently downloading the first episode of Boardwalk Empire as well, as HBO series rarely dissappoint and it would be nice to for once start watching something that's actually finished.

[simon]

Homeland is back!?

That's slipped right under the radar.

[Yevrah]

Yeah, should be at least a couple of eps in by now.

[simon]

What a time to be alive. :drool:

Not everyone is a fan.

[simon]

Fortunately I'm not Giggles, so I'm going to actually watch it in-spite of a dodgy review here and there.

[simon]

Shots fired etc.

[Toby]

It's not quite as criminal as them deciding to continue Prison Break after the prisoners broke, but Homeland should really have been a one series job.

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

It was a general comment with a couple of fishing rods attached.

You're extremely wide of the mark in fairness. I find most reviewers to be pretentious twats who are more interested in their 'opinion' being different than whether a show is actually entertaining, so their opinion would be the last thing I'd go by if I was picking something to watch. Most of the ones I watch I'd just happen upon and the rest I've got from some posters here who's opinions I'd respect on the subject.

Even though nobody has thought fit to tell me yet if Fargo is a continuation type show that you'd need to see the first series to be able to pick up the second, or if there is going to be a new story and I can forget the first.

[Toby]

Even though nobody has thought fit to tell me yet if Fargo is a continuation type show that you'd need to see the first series to be able to pick up the second, or if there is going to be a new story and I can forget the first.

It's an anthology (like True Detective) so I see no reason you'd need to watch the first series beforehand. It's worth watching if you haven't seen it though.

I haven't seen any of the new stuff yet so somebody who has can correct me if that's wrong.

Ah that's handy. I don't really have time to cram watch shows at the moment so watching the second series each week will be handy. I could go back and do the first some time if I like it and get time.

[Angelsaint]

Just watched 3 episodes of "last ship ". I now feel like joining the US army and kill all evil Arabs and fight the evil Russian empire!
What a piece of propaganda shit. Nice to watch though, to see how far the Americans can go with brain washing.

[Mazuuurk]

It's not quite as criminal as them deciding to continue Prison Break after the prisoners broke

That phrase says it all :D

[Yevrah]

Season 2 of Prison Break was alright. Ok, not a patch on the first and the writing should have been good enough for it to hit the dizzy heights of The Fugitive, which it never did, but overall it was ok.

[simon]

Declaring shots fired on your own post is a bit desperate.

You do seem to have kind of gone from fairly settled into a bit of a speed wobble lately. Only you can know what you're desperate for though.

Well this really has been a crippling defeat for me.

For what it's worth, I'm probably the happiest I've been for a long time at the moment. Everything's coming up Millhouse.

Just found out it got to season 2!? The misuse of prison break suspense thingy is hypnotizing but don't fuck with me. 2 seasons?! 4400/the whispers is canceled for this kind of shit to continue on TV??
If I didn't knew I would say this is sponsored by American government /illuminati/ insert conspiracy theory organization.

Boardwalk Empire ended up being quite interesting so far. Watched 3 episodes so far.

[Pepe]

Finished Game of Thrones season five last night. It keeps going downhill.

[Giggles]

Gonna try this Fargo thing in 20 minutes. The ad they've been showing on E4 makes it look decent.

[Demerit]

A few good things coming back.

The Returned season 2 (French version), just watched the first episode of Fargo season 2. Think that'll take me a while to get into as I loved the characters in season 1.

Catastrophe is coming back next week, which is the best comedy in recent years.

[Boydy]

Catastrophe is coming back next week, which is the best comedy in recent years.

I watched all of that yesterday. It's really bloody good.

[Kikó]

I've got the second episode of TWD tonight to tuck into. I'm also going to juggle The Leftovers, Season 4 and 5 of Boardwalk and Arrested Development over Winter. Oh and Fargo.

Great time to have Genesis.

[wullie]

I'm leaving Leftovers at one season, might not bother with Homeland again too. I started Fargo which was good, you don't need to have seen the first season right?

[John]

I'm leaving Leftovers at one season, might not bother with Homeland again too. I started Fargo which was good, you don't need to have seen the first season right?

Is that because you're happy with it as a self contained story, didn't enjoy the first enough to continue with it, or aren't confident they can get a decent second season out of it? If it's the former or the latter, early indications are that they're doing something of value with it, so you might want to reconsider that.

[wullie]

It's a mix of being happy enough with it ending as it did in S1 and a load of other stuff starting at the moment taking precedence. I might just binge the whole season later instead if it is a decent followup.

[ItalAussie]

Brooklyn Nine Nine's started up again. Not at their peak to begin with, but it's given them something to build on for the season.

[Davgooner]

I'm in counselling at the moment after watching the first three episodes of Asian Provocateur and enjoying it.

[John]

Brooklyn Nine Nine's started up again. Not at their peak to begin with, but it's given them something to build on for the season.

I think they're bumping up against their limitations at this point. Where Parks could be a bit more flexible with job titles and have characters constantly shifting, the latest Holt arc shows that they just don't have the same latitude in this setting.

There was one line in that latest episode that came off like Stewart Lee writing jokes for them though, which generated my biggest laugh of the series so far, I think.

Terry loves responsible agricultural practices.

Started watching season one of True Detective. It's a bit good, innit?

Finished the first season of True Detective. It was great.

Started the second now. Not liking it as much. How did it turn out in the end? Was it good?

I gave up after a couple, went back, and then gave up again after five. It was never going to be as good as the first series, few things are, but it was pish.

[simon]

Homeland is extremely good after the first two episodes. Not sure why it has been criticised.

[simon]

Then again I've just read the article that Mahow linked and it's not really a criticism of the quality of TV. So maybe I'm just off on one.

Either way, it's good.

[phonics]

Is there any character on television that makes as many poor decisions as Laurel? It's not even the amount of ones that she gets wrong but the sheer ratio of terrible decisions to good is 99:1.

[Mike]

Anyone watch The Blacklist?

[Magic]

Anyone watched Catastrophe?

[Yevrah]

Just downloaded it on Boyd's recommendation.

[Boydy]

Anyone watched Catastrophe?

Yep, it's really good.

[Giggles]

Watched the first five episodes of the second series of Gotham today to catch myself up. Keeping up the improvement seen at the end of the first and so much better than how that started.

[Boydy]

Also, You're the Worst is moving into interesting territory with its latest episode last night.

[Boydy]

I gave up after a couple, went back, and then gave up again after five. It was never going to be as good as the first series, few things are, but it was pish.

Hmm. The first episode didn't grip me in the way the first episode of the first season did. I think I'll leave it for now and come back to it later.

Might try The Leftovers season one.

[Magic]

I heard Rob with Maconie and it sounded brilliant to be honest. Can't believe it's on 4. Going to catch up tonight.

[Giggles]

Hmm. The first episode didn't grip me in the way the first episode of the first season did. I think I'll leave it for now and come back to it later.

I may have liked it more had it been something under a different name. It was just unfortunate it had the True Detective name and the burden of expectation that came with it, so the disappointment killed it for me.

I want to watch Leftovers too. I stopped during that loopy start to the first episode but I went back to the first series after stopping and was glad I did, so I'll give the second the benefit for now too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Anyone watch The Blacklist?

It's worth it purely for Spader.

[Cord]

Finished the first season of True Detective. It was great.

Started the second now. Not liking it as much. How did it turn out in the end? Was it good?

I thought the last episode was pretty decent. The rest is largely tedious but with the odd bit of hilariously bad dialogue to keep you going.

[Magic]

So Catastrophe is well worth a watch, binged the first four episodes and the only shit thing was the constant fucking about with 4OD and the relentless adverts.

TV is as good as it's been for years. I reckon there are more genuinely brilliant shows on over the course of this year than there have been in any of the last few. 2008 stands apart, in that Mad Men was underway, Breaking bad kicked off, you had the final seasons of The Wire and The Shield, Sons of Anarchy started, which was great for about two years, Battlestar Galactica was at its best. I'm definitely forgetting a load of megahits and other quality programs.

And Chuck had its best season. Definitely not 'great', but for what it was season two of that was an almost perfect twenty odd episodes.

It isn't that TV is bad at the moment, it's that the good stuff is spread out over so many different networks, cable providers, and streaming services, that you actually have to look to find it.

Nah, it can go in shite. Or start a soap thread. Or an Eastenders thread. I think there was one on the last board but no one posted about it much.

Those all sound fine, sure. No one person decides. If someone posts something that doesn't really belong here (like reality shite) then you'll get the reaction that we saw. It's hardly a big deal.

How bizarre. As a general rule, if it's scripted it goes in here, if it's reality it goes in the other one. I love the mention of a French subtitled program though, just to preemptively get a dig in at snobbery which doesn't exist.

The old TV Guide thread started out as a means of letting people know if something good was about to start on domestic TV here, but it gradually became about reality TV and the odd gem like 'The Trip'. That seemed like a handy divide, so it's been preserved in the new threads.

There is no panel making decisions on which shows you can or can't post about, and I'm sure this is about the fifth time I've had to tell you that.
