House of Cards season four is done. Probably the best since the first, especially the second half of the season after the 'event'. They made it crazier and hammier and made less attempts to make serious deep political points. Entertaining stuff.
I'm up to Episode 9 just after the meeting with Underwood and Conway. I saw people complaining that 'nothing has happened' when something seems to happen 4-5 times an episode. Some of them have felt long though.
I think it was the best season together with S1. Conway was really entertaining to watch and was a nice foil to Underwood.

How were people getting mad at this season of House of Cards
"My apology. You a mother fucker. MR. PRESIDENT"
Finished season 3 of The Americans yesterday. Is the new one out yet?
I don't really know. They kind of just blur into one since I did binge it.
Two episodes in to the latest season of House of Cards and I don't think I can be arsed with it any more. The last season was pretty meh all round and this seems very much the same. I just don't care about anyone in it. They're all shits.
I liked season four a lot more than season three. Without giving anything away, if you're a couple of episodes in I would give it at least another two episodes before giving up on it Boyd.
S1 > S4 > S2 > S3 imo. 3 was really bad.
Season 3 of Broad City has started. I hadn't realised. Just watched the first episode. It was brilliant. This is probably the best comedy about at the minute, I reckon.
@igor_balis you'll enjoy this. If not, I'll give you your money back.
I watched an episode of Broad City just after the first season finished and it all seemed a bit tryhard. There were a couple of chuckles but it seemed like a first attempt from people who might do something brilliant in future.
I'll give it another go at some point if it's being talked up to that extent.
Did anybody else watch Stag on the Beeb over the last few weeks? I went in with low expectations and thought most of the characters being arseholes would ruin it but I rather enjoyed it in the end. Doesn't do anything that numerous load-of-people-being-picked-off-by-a-killer things haven't done before but it was done quite well.
I watched all three and thought it was complete horseshit. Shame because I can't think of a single thing Reece Sheersmith has got mixed up in that I haven't loved. The 'twist' was blindingly obvious, none of the characters - even Ian - was remotely likeable and while I know it's supposed to be a silly black comedy, I couldn't engage myself in a show that portrayed such OTT 'blokey, matey, laddish' friendships that just don't exist to that extent. And the fact the environment would have killed them before anything else. It's even more the shame it was done so badly bdcause it wasn't a half-bad idea. A stag do where the (quite literal) hunters become the hunted.
I just expected it to be darker and more twisted, closer to something like The League of Gentlemen. Or perhaps I just got carried away when I saw Sheersmith was in it.
Jeremy Kyle has a show now where he leers at 'brave' people in hospital. Highlights include a full shot of a transgender's new cock.
I'm finally working my way through season 7 of Parks and Rec and just watched "Leslie and Ron." Can't remember which episode it reminds me of ("Ron and Tammy", maybe?) in terms of Ron/Leslie interaction but it's just brilliant. Ron and Leslie's reasons for their particular predicament in the previous few episodes are totally in keeping with their characters (and in Ron's case, in keeping with his development through the various series of the show) and both acted their parts superbly.
That's the one I've cited in the past as probably my favourite episode of the whole thing. There are laughs, but it shifts and does the emotional stuff brilliantly. Not far off a perfect episode in my eyes.
It's funny how, because of the characters, a relatively small thing (the catch-up at JJs that never happened), is a genuinely big moment. They didn't have to concoct some daft scenario to trigger the break-down in their relationship.
Absolutely. It's all so well drawn that they can make a small moment like that a big thing in the lives of the characters and it doesn't take any manufactured drama to make it real. It's a silly comedy with people uncontrollably farting and sneezing themselves into concussions, but I struggle to think of any show that's nailed the relationships as well, romantic or otherwise.
Not to the extent where people turn a blind eye to their 'mates' being killed. That, to me, just breaks any kind of narrative in it. You just don't get a group of 6-8 friends were ALL of them lacks any kind of empathy whatsoever. Blegghhh, I think I'm/we are reading too much into it. It was just shit frankly.
Four episodes into Flaked now and sadly have to conclude that it's just a bit crap.
The Americans starts tonight.
Really looking forward to new Daredevil on Friday. They release the episodes in a one-r right?
Yep.
Can't wait to knock that out this weekend.
Oh and in related news, Luke Cage is getting his series on the 30th of September.
Cage, Iron Fist then whatever their mini-Avengers is going to be called, right? Maybe another series of Jessica Jones.
Definitely another series of Jessica Jones, they're developing it now.
They've cast Ser Loras to be Iron Fist.
I've just remembered that they've also commissioned a Punisher series after liking the character so much in Daredevil.
OMG The Flash and Supergirl crossover ep 28th March

Daredevil season 2 has started so damn well.
Sons of Anarchy hasn't really dipped for me and I'm near the end of season 4. It's not as good as something like the shield but a solid Milner.
Done with Daredevil.
Really didn't think I'd carve through it that quickly as I was actually hoping I'd watch the last few whilst flying to Poland next week. I thought it was great though and just couldn't stop the 'Oh just one more' voice in my head.

Finished House of Cards the other day. It was a big improvement from season 3 and I'm excited to see where they go in the new season.
Frank.
I'm a couple more episodes further along than you Ian, but I agree about episode three.

Realised something that needed correcting, the other day: I've never seen Freaks And Geeks.
Watched the first (of 18?) episode before. Seems totally ace!
The girl who plays Lindsay is sooooooo too.

Send a pm this way on where you're watching it. I've seen it a long time ago (swear it was on channel 4 or something) but wouldn't mind giving it another go.
Finished second series of Daredevil. Really good.

I got to the end of episode eight last night.
