A machine spits out the social security numbers of people about to be involved in crime, and a reclusive billionaire teams up with a special forces wrecking ball to stop that crime.
I'll let Phonics fill you in on the many great parallels to actual surveillance shittery. I didn't last long with it.
Sounds like a shit Minority Report.
Also, I see they've made a TV show of Rush Hour. Jesus christ.
The ads are on E4 all week for it. Looks horrendous.Originally Posted by Boydy
Fox are doing a Lethal Weapon TV show with Damon Wayans in the Danny Glover role. I think I only watch Brooklyn Nine Nine of their output, so unfortunately I might have to boycott that in protest.
How does something like Rush Hour or Lethal Weapon even work as a TV show?
Archer is back.
I'd say we're about to find out that they don't.
I fucking love Lethal Weapon, all the way up to the third one which as we know is the last one they made, so that news about Murtaugh disgusted me.
With a cracking opener too.Archer is back.
It's just the odd couple detectives. Take the central dynamic and plug it into a load of generic crimes in such a way that the dynamic somehow leads to the answer.
Fox in particular are churning those things out at an alarming rate. The other week they started a program where the devil, the actual figurehead of hell, is a hedonistic nightclub owner in Los Angeles and by the end of the first episode he'd teamed up with a policewoman to solve a murder.
I've decided I'm going to watch The Killing. I loved The Bridge so I'm hoping it'll be pretty similar.
I was also considering The Wire and The Shield as I've been meaning to watch both of those for ages but I can't find them online. I specifically want the remastered version of The Wire because those black bars down the side because of the 4:3 aspect ratio of the original piss me off. Do people not really do torrents much any more? There seems to be piss all on pirate bay.
I'd invite you to BTN but I have no invites, sorry.
Also, the original version or the American? I've watched the American version and I'd recommend that you give it a miss, it's pretty fucking shit.
Original.
The wire is without a doubt the best show ever. Anyone but anyone disagreeing deserves to be shot at sight.
Banshee is back.
The Shield is also fucking excellent Boydy so it'll be well worth your time getting on that.
Started Lucifer and is showing potential.
I watched the first episode of Lucifer a while ago, and it's fucking shite. Embarrassingly bad.
Banshee is off to a strange start. They're doing a sort of flashback structure and they've sidelined their best character for the moment.
I do admit I have a crush for charismatic arrogant bad guys but I think It was good for a pilot. What you saw That was so bad?
Everything. The only redeeming feature was a decent central performance. I had a lol at the concept in post 1317, so I'll leave that for now.
It was laughably predictable, the dialogue was terrible, and the characters were all cardboard cutouts with one exception.
Watched this one tonight. The episode after it (with the funny psychic and the murderer who is the spitting image of Hammerstein) is absolutely awesome.Its also so weird seeing all these half-famous actors like that in it. The other day I watched an episode in season 3 with Jack Black and Giovanni Ribisi in it being all young and, in fairness, the same as they always turned out to be
I'm a twit
Cooked is quite good. The second episode is subpar, but the other three are very enjoyable.
It was really top-notch. I"m glad they're back doing proper spy stuff.
Apparently this is a four-episode+ arc, which should be fun.
Recently downloaded all these through Prime and was massively impressed given that I went into it with serious reservations. Is it worth shelling out for the third season or does it all go a bit DexterToggle Spoiler
Watching this new ITV drama from the The Bridge people and while it's reasonably intriguing and well played, Anna Friel has had an appallingly bad cosmetic procedure done that's stealing every scene.
Is it as bad as Leslie Ash's?
It's not a trout pout situation, her top lip is just completely immobile, protrudes a bit too much, and looks a bit scabby.
She used to be lovely too.
No, the third season is well worth it. The fourth has started well, too. Definitely keep going.
Watched another Gotham episode and don't get why it got so much pepper from y'all. I dare to say it is the best TV show running at the moment.
The third season is generally regarded as the best by far.
Cheers lads. Will be on it when payday rolls around then.
I've watched four episodes of this after noticing it on Amazon Prime. I'm not sure whether to carry on or not. The story telling is a bit all over the place at the moment, but hopefully settles down. The episodes feel too long a lot of the time too. It's a bit of a slog an hour at a time. I probably will give it a bit longer, seeing as Mahow says it gets better. Plus, you know, pirates. Pirates are great.Watched an episode of Black Sails earlier. It's fairly standard piratey fare, but I might watch more of it for the sake of the woman who plays Max, who is extraordinary.
Jessica Parker Kennedy.
Since we don't seem to have a general TV thread anymore and it would be deeply inappropriate to put it in the working class TV thread, has anyone been watching this series of Stewart Lee? Most of it I think has been brilliant, but in this last one ('Migrants') when he's going on about the food on Rod Liddle I had to hold my hands up and say I had absolutely no idea what he's on about.
If I to put the Simpsons in the shite thread then Stewart Lee goes in there too. He barely even qualifies that highly.
If you've ever seen Stewart Lee then you'll know that half his act is wanking on basically about how he belongs in this thread and not that one, so it's only fair.
Did we ever have a general TV thread?
I watched the first couple but haven't got round to the latest one yet. He seems to be going big on the 'everyone watching is a twat' stuff this series, and it very quickly becomes hard work when he starts that. The Graham Norton stuff was absolutely brilliant though.
We had one on the old board which was basically for anything thay wasn't one of the big American series that went in the Golden Age thread. The closest we have here is the Reality and Shite one.
We had that 'TV Guide' thread which served the same purpose the other one here is now.
Also, who told you you had to put The Simpsons in the other one?
I was sure I'd have got a telling off if I put it in the 'good' tv thread. You specifically sprang to mind
Plus it was more about the screen format rather than content.
Another example of you imagining snobbery where none exists, then. The Simpsons is brilliant.
Second point still stands though, and we don't have a technical TV thread.
Dunno when I last watched a new episode of the Simpsons. Good three of four years, I'd say.
I'm not sure what changed or what stopped getting shown elsewhere but it seems to be on in our house a lot more lately.
The Killing is great. Cliffhangers at the end of every episode though. I always want to watch another. It's midnight and I'm quite tired and have been all day but I want to watch another one and tomorrow is Friday. Ugh, I'm definitely gonna watch another one.
Odds on Boydy pulling a Yev and watching all of it before going to bed?
I turned the latest episode of Brooklyn off halfway through. This arc is not good.
No chance. I'd fall asleep at some point. Might even fall asleep during this next one.
My internet died so that must be a sign I should go to bed.
