The character is supposed to be Greek but as you say, christ knows what accent she was doing.

Isn't she French?
The actress is (she was born there and her mother is French but her Dad is from Cambodia) but Elektra is Greek. However, during the series the accent is all over the fucking shop.Originally Posted by Giggles
Elektra is so fit! She looks like my ex
I'm sure she does, if you squint hard enough that is.
And now I'm done with Parks and Recreation. That last season is wildly inconsistent and the last episode in particular I thought was generally disappointing with a few nice moments (Ron's job being one of them), feeling like a clip/flashback show in reverse. And those episodes are always terrible.
Still, it gave us possibly my favourite episode they've ever done so I shan't complain.
Favourite being Ron and Leslie? That was just delightful.
Outside of that episode the best moments in the final season were all throwaway joke, but that one episode basically justified the whole thing.
Archer is back in just over a week \0/.
I put The Office on in the background the other day and I've found myself watching the whole thing again. The writing is second to none.
Big Keith gets me every time-
Exactly that. It was probably the "true" dramatic finale of the season/series. Everything after that was kind of epiloguey, and you got the feeling it was just tying up all the loose ends.
Keith from the Office appeared on my 'people you may know' thing on Facebook the other day. So somehow we have a friend in common
What the hell is the problem with US schedulers??
Brooklyn Nine Nine started on September 27th, 2015... it had a two week break at the start of October, another at the end of October, another at the end of November, another in the middle of January, another at the beginning of March one in the middle of March... what is the point? Surely they can't be chasing viewing figures this sporadically?
Is it on one of those channels deep into election coverage?
Could be. Still, B99 > US Elections.
I had a look at Craig Ferguson's new thing earlier and the only conclusion to be drawn from it is that he made a huge error leaving that late night show he was doing. He's now doing a twenty minute 'debate' show on the History channel and it's fucking atrocious. Worth watching once just to appreciate what a throbber he is for binning his old job.
3 episodes into series one of Fargo and it's absolutely crap.
It's a coen brothers project. Of course it's wank.
To be honest I never knew that and it would probably have been enough to make me avoid it altogether.
It's really annoying. Bob's Burgers has been all over the place as well.
Fargo is great. And it's not a Coen Brothers project, they're listed as producers in return for their blessing but they're not actually involved.
Oh thank god, I might watch it now those talentless hacks the Coens aren't involved.
I feel like there's an inside joke that I'm missing out on.
I'm sort of getting the feeling Max is related to them.
Fargo is worth watching.
I thought so too, but I think 3 episodes was a fair shot. I'm still going to give the second series a go though seeing as the stories aren't related.
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.
It's one of the best shows there's been in recent years. Season 2 pips the first.
I won't be watching any more of the first series but I'll give the second a go this week as I'm off work for the week and there's not much else drawing me in.
I started watching The Night Manager. I'm quite enjoying it. Haven't read the book so not sure how it matches up with that which I saw some of you complaining about.
Watched legends of tomorrow and it could be so much better. The American propaganda + obvious ends kill the show. Still I follow it week after week. I can only explain because of my man crush on Wentworth Miller. He is so hypnotizing gorgeous.
Impossible not wanting to see that man again. He must be the most gorgeous man on earth.
Finished it. That was great. I might read some le Carré books now.
Did you watch Broad City yet?
So Catastrophe is now owned exclusively by Amazon Prime in America. Channel 4 hasn't made a decision on it yet over here for Season 3. Fucking wank.
Last night's Brooklyn Nine Nine was a bit strange.

Looks like it may be the new long arc story replacing Wuntch/Giggle Pig.
I've just finished watching Breaking Bad and thought it was fantastic. It's betweem Sons of Anarchy, Peaky Blinders and Narcos for my next binge. Opinions?
That's sort of the problem with the whole Pimento thing. It just doesn't fit the tone at all.
I thought that episode was genuinely crap, probably the first bad episode they've done. It took two good ideas from Parks and managed to make both seem cheap and shit.
Sons of Anarchy gets rave reviews but I thought it went very quickly to shit after the second season. Couldn't get into Peaky Blinders at all. Narcos is good.
Have you seen The Americans?
I was really hoping from the first introduction that Pimento wasn't going to be a permanent fixture.
Definitely wasn't a good episode. Series on the whole has been weak in comparison to what went before but that was as bad as it's been. I think it was @wullie said it before too, bit it's at it's best in episodes based around a case.
It's decent enough during the first season but the second season is brilliant and the third isn't too shabby either.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.

Was finally getting round to starting series 2 of Fargo and the fucking thing isn't on Netflix
Is The Americans on Netflix? If not where could I watch it? We binned Sky.
All 3 seasons on Swedish Netflix at least.
I've watched a couple of episodes of Flaked on Netflix. It's inoffensive and entertaining enough I suppose, in a mildly watchable sort of way. I'm just having a hard time buying into the premise though. Man in his mid-forties, acting like he's in his twenties and talking like he's a teenager just hanging around all day doing nothing. It all just seems a bit sad. Yet he's somehow managed to effortlessly get himself stuck between two very attractive women who are seemingly about half his age.
It's basically a slacker re-hash of Californication I suppose. Duchovny had a lot more about him though. Hank Moody wasn't a mopey, hipster drip and his exploits were at least semi-believable. I don't think Arnett really fits the role he's playing.
Amazon Prime have got it in the UK I believe, Spikey. The first two seasons anyway.
Someone give me a new show to watch. Something with plenty of action or plenty of plot twists and turns.
Have you watched Person of Interest yet, you bastard?
Plough through the first season knowing it's not great because the rest of it is a million times better than anything Mr. Robot does.
White Collar is fun if you like con man capers, it's a complete rip off of that English show but done with a budget and far more compelling actors.
Download Southland if you haven't seen it. Maybe not big on twists and turns and it's olf, but it's still the best thing I've seen in a long time.
Must watch it again soon myself.
White Collar is bilge. If you're after that sort of quirky caper nonsense then Leverage is what you want.
Underground is incredibly promising, Boyd. It's only four episodes in so not something you'll be able to whizz through, but you've got to admire the balls it takes to embark upon a Prison Break style show set in a cotton plantation and the skill it to have it not be blisteringly offensive.
No. Did you mention it before? What's it about?
Also saying the first season isn't great isn't going to entice me much.
I saw that on Kodi and thought it sounded like an interesting idea but I think I'll wait until more than four episodes are out before I start it.
