The Trip : Spain coming in April
I've been watching House of Lies and I think I'm going to stop after about 5 episodes. It's pretty much the same jokes every episode.
Just finished A Series of Unfortunate Events (Netflix) last night and it's pretty good. Apparently it's better than the film (which I need to see) and Neil Patrick Harris and Patrick Warburton are bloody awesome in it.
I gave it a bit longer than that, but eventually binned it after whichever episode Matt Damon was in. As funny and self lacerating as his appearance was they were still using essentially the same stock jokes, just twisted slightly to fit the plot of that specific episode, which made me realise it probably wasn't going to make the improvements I hoped it would. I'll watch anything with Ben Schwartz and go in with almost unlimited goodwill, so it was a bit disappointing.
Legion has started really strongly.
Just a shame its a weekly thing, I really want to go on a binge.
I watched 'The Moorside', the BBC thing about Shannon Matthews, with my gran the other night and wound up reading a couple of properly lol articles whining about it. Apparently it's evidence of a media vendetta against the lower classes because nobody is making one about Madeleine McCann, the still missing and presumed dead child, or Tara Palmer Tomkinson, the friend of the royals who's been dead half an hour. As much fun as it is hearing toffs moaning about things, the bilge produced when some council estate twonk gets a platform is a hundred times more desperate and entertaining.
My Sky has decided it has no signal for about 75% of channels, so I couldn't record Legion or Emerald City (FOX and 5Star don't work) which is really annoying.
Instead of watching either of those I decided to start on Taboo, as at least BBC1HD works. Seems okay. Only one episode in can watch a few in a row when I've got a bit of free time. Heard good things.
I'm a twit
First season of High Castle done.
Kido is such a fucking boss.
@John - I think you were wrong about The Expanse. It seems to be up on Syfy first, then will get onto Netflix at a later date as a complete season.
I've never said otherwise. SyFy make it so of course they'll show it at their pace first.
I've had this in my head all day. I love it so much.
Finally finished Quarry last night. Best piece of TV since True Dick Season One.

Even if I didn't know going in, I'd have guessed the bloke behind it was involved with Banshee on some level. Have you watched that?
I've had Quarry downloaded and ready to go for a while now, I've just not managed to get round to it yet. I shall have to get started with it.
I've started watching The Young Pope recently. Jude Law is in it, as the young Pope in question. It's a very interesting premise but it's quite a strange show, and I can't decide how much I like it yet. I'm also not sure to what extent (if any) it's meant to be a comedy either. I have only watched two episodes though.
Started Entourage recently after having been recommended it years ago. Love it. On season 3 currently.
Nah I don't watch much TV stuff these days but I'll look it up.
It's unashamed pulp nonsense, but it has some of the most innovative action sequences I've ever seen on television and it's far more fun than it has any right to be.
Entourage is the bollocks. It's easy watching and basic acting, but the characters are very affable. And you'll be sad when it's over. I was.
I've started watching Ballers to fill the void. Anyone into it?
You've already watched the best seasons but it's worth sticking with.
I'm a twit
Anything out there people.can recommend that has been on for 2 series max and isn't hard work?
Ballers is easy watching. Got the rock fella in it. It's about nfl footballers and their agents, lifestyle, etc....
Fits the bill
The Walking Dead
SS GB should be worth a watch tonight if they've spent well on it.
Some TV show this morning was raving about Billions. Anyone see it?
I loved the first season. Paul Giamatti is incredible.
Violent scenes from the start. I'm out.
4 episodes in. Really enjoying it.
Fired SS GB on.
Intrigued to see just how much more fuckery the paddies got up to to help Hitler.
You probably won't find the answer in an alternate history TV drama then you mong. Read a history book.
Read a history book to find out if Ireland helped Germany any further for them to win the War in a fictional TV show?
You OK hun?
I liked Billions but it was one of those shows where everyone is such a hateful cunt you'd rather every next scene was their massive house getting fire bombed so I never got past episode 3.
So you want to know how much they helped in the alternative history TV show as opposed to real life?
Riiiiiiight. That was definitely a post for the sake of just saying something then.
Sorry you've lost me. I was speculating on something that might happen in a made up TV show.
I didn't think that'd bother you.
Depends how violent. Turns out it was just a shooting so it was fine.
It's a bit shit though. Man in the High Castle it is not.
Disappointing. I was hoping it would be good but I kinda want to hold off and read the book first.
They've cast a whispering 12 year old as the lead in this SS thing.
Aye it's shite. Not a single leprechaun in it either.
I'd excitedly put this on series record and all. Not even worth seeing this episode out. Absolute yawn.
Seemingly we're getting a 2nd series of Blue Planet this year
Quality episode of Inside Number 9, that. Some superb writing.
Saw that. Was happy.Seemingly we're getting a 2nd series of Blue Planet this year
They're basically getting as much Attenborough as they can in now before he kicks the bucket.
Got caught up with Billions this morning. It tailed off a bit but the first episode of series 2 is promising enough for them to ramp it back up again. I like that it's one that does a show a week and not just a big series dump each time too.
I like it for that kind of easy watching thing but for Walking Dead etc I want it all in a oner.
Bob's Burgers is back after the break.
They did a 'Love Actually'-style episode for Valentine's Day, which was a classic character episode. Haven't watched the newest one yet.
I've finished The Young Pope and it was, on the whole, excellent. Apparently a second season is in the works, but the last episode really gives the impression that it should be over with, so I'm not sure what to think there.
Started on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency recently and it's pretty good. Elijah Wood and Samuel Barnett work well together.
