Frank and Juliana are both massively irritating tossers, as is Joe, but the side characters (mainly the Nazis and Japanese) more than make up for it. The finale was absolutely great.

I've not seen any of it, but presumably that'll just be a finale for season 2 and it's back for a third?
It really was excellent. Definitely agree that a lot of the background characters really make it.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Kido is the best thing in it.
Kido is the fucking man. Rufus Sewell is brilliant as well.
I mean they can always do another season if there's money to spin out of it, I suppose, but the finale of season 2 felt pretty final to me.
Sweet. Might get on that then.
I doubt it'll be back, as the series two finale was such that it neatly wrapped everything up.
The antique shop owner was great as well.
Obergruppenfuhrer Smith and Chief Inspector Kido were the two best characters in the programme.
Yeah. I suppose you could near call Kido and Smith main characters, Smith especially.
I found Tagomi quite endearing too.
Yeah Tagomi's facial expressions are quality.
Kido spitting out 'Trade... Minister'
I enjoyed Heydrich as a swivel eyed loon (which he was) as well, they did a really good job of making proper characters out of the 'bad' guys rather than just making them all ranting villains.
Oh, The Man in the High Castle is done? Might give it a go now then. I thought it was going to something that went on for about five seasons.
No, it's not done. They just announced a couple of days ago that they've renewed it for a third season.
And there it is.
Well they should have stopped it at this point (don't open the below spoiler if you haven't watched it).

Oh ffs.
New Always Sunny In Philadelphia was a bit shit. Making a mini musical out of a comedy show is always a bad idea. Can anybody think of a time its worked? The Simpsons had some great songs, but the whole episode wasn't a musical so it was fine.
I've just realised that The Nightman Cometh episode of Always Sunny would probably count, and that is incredible.
It was the worst thing to ever happen in Scrubs, despite it mostly being absolute dogshit and not funny.

Fans of The Americans! Did you know Matthew Rhys (Philip) is actually Welsh? I suppose the name hints at it but I never really paid that much attention to that and just assumed he was American. Also him and Keri Russell (Elizabeth) are a couple IRL.
I did. His accent seems pretty immaculate though so if you didn't know going in I doubt you'd get it from that. He voiced the Welsh nationalist bloke in Archer with his natural voice.
Ha, didn't know he voiced him.
Yeah, I think Scrubs got by on likeable/attractive characters mostly.
The 'new series' section on BtN informs me that something called 'Murder Calls' has started. It's a series of dramatisations of real life cases where people have been killed while on the phone to 911. Why the fuck does the will to make that exist?
Quarry is a bit fucking good innit. Jaysus.

I need something else to watch now that High Castle is done and dusted. I'm going to do the last 6 episodes of the last series of Humans as I missed them but then I've found absolutely nothing. Might give the other series of Fargo a go, though I hated the one with Martin Freeman.
See my post above yours, the entire first season is out.
If films and stuff are anything to go by, I'm safe in the knowledge that me and you would definitely not enjoy the same things.
I finished series 2 of Happy Valley the other day. It was brilliant.
Did you enjoy True Detective season one, and stuff of that ilk?
That's one of the best things I've seen, but I'm not into blood and guts and stuff.
This is in the same vein. Its just a drama/thriller, well acted, well written, no blood and guts and all that jazz. Guy comes back from Vietnam in the 70s after a scandal, society shuns him, shady guy offers him a job as a hitman and away we go.
I stand corrected then. I'll give it a go, sounds decent.
That does sound rather good
Hated?? I was away to say the second season is even better than the first but if you hated it then I doubt that would make a difference.
Yeah tried a few times to finish it but couldn't.
Have you finished the whole thing? If so;

Caught up with the latest episode of Sherlock, which was miles better than the absolutely ridiculous contrived garbage they called the two episodes before that.
Still, I know they are going to come up with some massively stupid conspiracy stuff in the last episode, so it'll tank after that.
Yeah definitely the best one for a while. The search for the EVEN BIGGER FINALE scares me about the next one.
I really wish http://newstudio.tv/ wasn't in Russian.

Started watching Rick and Morty last night and wound up buzzing through well into the second season. It's fucking dark at times, isn't it?
It really fucks me off when shows don't give a brief overview/set the scene at the very start. I get it's a plot device but you spend half the time wondering what's happened and less about what's actually happening.
(man in the high castle)
That should fill in some without giving anything away. Just that bit.

I'm the opposite. As I tend to just plough through a show in a short space of time, I have to skip it every time as I've just watched the prior episode.
I started watching Mr. Robot and am just getting into season two. I'm about 13 episodes in and I'm still not sure I like it. Aside from the fact it'd be more descriptively titled if it was called Mr. Autism, the characters aren't very likeable and don't really have any redeeming qualities.
Also (spoiler for season 1):

I wanted to know more of the history behind it but I don't think it made it hard to follow, the basic situation was pretty clear.
Yeah sorry I didn't mean a review at the start of each episode, more like what disco means
I gave up on Mr Robot a few episodes into season 2.
I'm awful fearful this final Sherlock is going to be toss.
The first episode of this series was bang average, at best, but I really enjoyed the second episode. Helps that I love Toby Jones playing a cunt.
That does help cheers.

Yea I really enjoyed last weeks and Jones was brilliant. There's a big chance that they'll have got carried away for the finale though.
That was way later in series 1. I can't remember if there was a flash forward though.
Exodus hasn't mixed up episodes on you or anything has it? I found a lot of them under the wrong episode number.
