Who's watching what on tv

[strangetown]

Homeland was great last night but I can't help but think that the show is incredibly sexist. All the female characters seem to be portrayed as emotionally weak or volatile and it grates on me quite a lot.

Have to agree. It's taken a while to get going this season but the last 2 weeks have been good viewing.

Boardwalk!!

Yes. Just watched the last three episodes there. Wow!

[viberunner]

Boardwalk is kind of okay, watchable but I'm not keeping them. The Walking Dead is tepid, again watching but not intending a re-watch. Sons of Anarchy is gobsmacking though, the last episode! OMG!

Archer is the best comedy I've seen in years, been getting up to speed with that. Well worth it. A very large amount of googolplexias better than Family Guy or American Dad.

Dug out an ITV series I'd missed in the 70s, Children of the Stones. Weird, scary, and featuring Blake from Blake's 7. You need a phd and four hits of acid to get it, and they made it for kids!!

SOA are having two weeks off - Bastard

I'm quite enjoying Walking Dead, the gov is actually quite good at the mo. Better than spending all the time in the prison with mopey c**t Rick.

I gave up on Homeland.

Ep 8 of Homeland was v good. Haven't watched latest yet. Is it two weeks off for SOA? I thought it was just one for thanksgiving. Then it's 2 episodes left and the next series is the last!

[bunique]

And is Game of Thrones due back in January? Squeeeeeeee!

[bunique]

Bah, no, it'll be March/April for GoT

[t8yman]

you had me excited then. I thought it was March time. And oh, yeah SOA is back next week. 3rd dec.

Not sure about GOT, Sky are repeating the first 3 series, up to ep3, series 3 - so thought they would show the new series straight after. Though have slowed the pace to one ep a week. Really loving it, missed it first time round. Making a start on the books/bricks too - think I would have struggled with them without the tv programme just due to the amount of characters!

[When Jokers Attack]

Homeland has been fantastic the last few weeks. It's back on track after a poor first half of the season.

[viberunner]

And is Game of Thrones due back in January? Squeeeeeeee!

Unfortunately that was the "Spartacus" schedule. The last couple of years it has been the delicious antipasti for the roast peacock that in Game of Thrones.

No longer though.

[t8yman]

SOA was fucking brilliant this week. Bravo.

[bunique]

Argh, our torrent won't work! Hopefully sorted by tomorrow, I'm scared to go on twitter due to potential spoilers!

[t8yman]

its far too complicated to be spoiled in 140 characters!

Aye Sons was great this week. Has been a brilliant series. Only one left tho

Anyone watching Mob City this week?

[The Nal]

Sherlock. New Years Day. 9pm.

[When Jokers Attack]

Started watching Justified. Enjoying it so far but heard it gets amazing.

[bunique]

I loved the humour in SOA this week, it's been missing in the recent heavy episodes.

[t8yman]

Fuck me, theres no humour this week.

The finale = jesus fucking christ

[bunique]

Watching now...

If Jimmy Smits/Nero doesn't survive the episode I may boycott series 7 !

[bunique]

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

sons of anarchy finale

I dont think I've ever winced at a TV programme like that ever. My missus' face was a picture as she turned away from the screen.

I knew as soon as she took the truck what was going to happen, I just didnt expect it to be quite as nasty as that. The irony of Gemma shipping Wendy off to rehab because she can't be trusted as a mother while she is using drugs is deafening. Thats twice Gem has fucked up whilst stoned. Poor old Jax.

Just started watching Sons of Anarchy on netflix, three episodes into season 1. I guess Ive got one hell of a ride ahead of me.

Yes, it was set from the start but the brutality of it, and the scenario it left Jax in at the end were the surprising bits. I couldn't work out if Juice did what he did to get back at Jax or to get back in with the MC. And Nero crossing over back to the gang is going to make for an interesting twist. Top stuff all round really! I assume the homeless lady (who is also the mother of the girl in the ice cream store??) will hold the key to everything next season

I don't understand why critics hate the show, it gets roundly ignored by all the tv award shows. It's trounced Dexter et al in recent years in terms of drama. The only thing that tops it for me at the mo is GoT.
