And now I watched that scene again. And now I'm watching the entire thing again. Fuck you Boydy.

I reckon its the only show I've watched that gets better with every season. In true TTH fashion: 4>3>2>1
It became a lot better in the second half of the season.

Thought the Ruiz arc was decent personally. Agree on Piper though, easily the weakest character and although they've sidelined her more and more I still think the writers find her far more interesting than I do.
Finale was fucking heartbreaking
First episode of Mr Robot was leaked last night. The network/producers leaked it themselves as some viral marketing thing, pretending they'd been hacked which is actually quite funny.
University Challenge and Only Connect are back!!! Yay!!!
How was Orphan Black Season 4 @Boydy? After some initial hype I didn't hear anything from you.
I've got 24 hours of travelling in the next couple of weeks and watching The Wire for the sixth time (I'm up to mid Season 2 now) seems a waste.
I haven't watched all that much of it. Got bored of waiting for it week by week and have just been distracting myself with The Wire. Once I've finished The Wire I'll go back to it.
Catastrophe is getting two more seasons. Yay!

Catastrophe, which was originally turned down by the BBC, has proved a huge success for Channel 4, becoming their second highest performing comedy of 2015.
Also excellent news as it was exclusive to Prime for a while after C4 finished with 1 and 2 which was a huge worry.
Just finished Better Call Saul season two.
Can't believe I've gotta wait til February for season three. It way easier to watch than Breaking Bad.
I'm a twit
How long is that likely to run for?
I'll be doing with that what I did with Breaking Bad and nailing it all at the end.
I finished season two of Marco Polo at the weekend. It was really good, I probably enjoyed it more than the first season. I really hope it gets a third, it's such an interesting time period to set a TV show in.
I've started Wayward Pines in it's place last night. The first couple of episodes were pretty interesting. It's quite Twin Peaks-ish, but more sinister I guess.
Finished season 4 of The Wire yesterday.
Toggle Spoiler
Yeah that season just delivers such a massive kick in the balls.
Preacher is fucking excellent.
Didnt download anything so had to rely on in flight entertainment. I settled for some Cold War Spy thing called The Game fronted by a bloke so handsome it seems weird he hasn't permeated popular culture like Cumberbqtch.
Only three episodes in and it's just good enough to watch on a flight. Getting a massive feeling it'll go Fight Club for the twist but fuck it I've got 8 hours to burn.
Even worse than I assumed.
Bloodline Series 2 was superb, didn't quite have the oomph of the first (probably due to Mendelsohn barely being in it) but things are ramping up superbly.
The Night Of is the best thing on TV currently, and its only one episode in.
I'm only two episodes in to S2 and I miss Danny, who had all the presence in the world. I hear it's like S1 where it starts slow and builds up though, so looking forward to that and the hopeful death of Kevin at the hands of whoever's nearest.
Yeah its another slow burn, first four or five nearly lost me but then it kicks in.
They confirmed S3 in the last day or so too, I think there were rumours it might have been ditched.
It's off to a hell of a start. Riz Ahmed must be one of the best actors around at the moment.
I saw that on Rotten Tomatoes yesterday and thought it looked good.
Is season 2 of Mr Robot out? I saw some ad about it.
Started with a double bill last night, but the first of the two was leaked on 'social media' at the weekend.
Echo The Night Of comments.
Great opener.
Also, Bodie
Stranger Things is about as eighties as it's possible for something to be. It's like ET meets Twin Peaks with a synth soundtrack and an open door policy for Stephen King references.
I'm four episodes in and it's very good.
Finished Stranger Things. It's really good, but it's almost too overt with its influences in places. The score is a fucking marvel, it's immaculately cast, with the exception of Winona Ryder who's a one note shrew, and it's funnier than it has any need or right to be.

Episode two of The Night Of is just as good and compelling as the first, which is rare. This is going to be something special.
About to watch the last episode of season 5 of The Wire. Anyone want to rank them now that it makes some sense to me?
Shouldn't you be the one giving us your ranking?
It's been a long while so I can't say that I remember very well, but I think it goes something like:
4,3,1,2,5
4, 1, 3, 2, 5.
3 & 1 are probably the hardest to split for me.
1, 4, 2, 3, 5
I think. I don't know. It was all great.
So 4 is great an 5 is turd. It's unanimous.
I'm a twit
5's is like realising something long in the tooth and deciding to cut to the closing montage.
Wire S1, 2, 3, 4

Wire S5

Daredevil season 3 next year
New season of Bojack Horseman out.
I inadvertently seen half an episode of Pretty Little Liars last week. It's so so bad that's it's like one of those awesome US soaps that frustratingly never close out a storyline. I've watched 34 episodes since
Michael Kenneth Williams
The Night Of, right? I'm guessing he finally turns up in it this week. Excellent. More Omar, less close ups of John Turturro's character's fucked up feet please.Michael Kenneth Williams
Yep.
I had no idea that he was going to be in it so almost creamed my pants when his name popped up in the opening credits, he didn't disappoint.
Good stuff. I'll download it and watch the new episode tonight. I've enjoyed it quite a lot so far. Although:

Apparently James Gandolfini was meant to play John Turturro's role before he died. That I would have liked to see.
Is Netflix down for anyone else?
I just wanna keep watching Stranger Things.
Finished Stranger Things last night. It's really good, innit?
I stopped watching The Americans a while ago and thought I'd come back to it once a few episodes were out together. Also I was busy with The Wire for a while. Just went looking for the next episodes and it turned out the last one I saw had been the last of the season. It didn't really seem like a finale episode.
Oh well. I think I've still got some Orphan Black to watch at least.
I binged through it yesterday/today. I did enjoy it, although after seeing rave review after rave review, I think my hopes were too high. Still very good and worth the watch, just not as genre defining as I hoped it might be.
Just put season one episode one of The Wire on.
Watching the HD widescreen version though
Recently started watching Archer properly. Before I'd only randomly caught it on TV now and then, but not really watching is sequentially. Now that I am, I've understood it's real greatness. Not sure if it's quite as good as Rick & Morty, but almost.
