Watched Humans on Channel 4 tonight (someone my facebook said its actually remake of something from Sweden). Fairly decent, quite spooky in parts (in a makes you think kind of way rather than jump out at you:P)

Cracking show.

Murder in the First had a good first episode for the new season.

[CanWeRest]

Been watching that Mr Norrel & Mr Strange on the beeb. Quite good.

Yeah I quite enjoyed it too.

There's a show in the US called Stitchers on ABC Family. Three episodes in and it's probably the best of the shows that have started recently. Basically, they can get into the memories of dead people for a set amount of time before the brain shuts down completely. The premise is more enjoyable than it sounded to me initially and there's some fun characters in there, as well as some intriguing, if a bit predictable to start with, stuff going on.

Great show, watched them all in a week and they've confirmed a second series

[swede]

Started Daredevil on Netflix. 2 episodes in and really enjoying it, has a level of realism and grittiness that the other Marvel franchises don't, really impressed. The fight scene when he is injured at the end of episode 2 was particularly well done, not many fight scenes done like that were the hero is getting visibly tired and worn down as the fight progresses, and the goons not staying down, kept getting back up until they were properly knocked out.

Episode 2 of Humans was good, I like the concept, i like the casting, and I like the execution. I hope they have a conclusion to the series and not just a plan to roll on and on until it gets shit, which is such a common approach to TV drama production these days.

 

Totally spoiler free take on True Detective coming up, but I will tag it just to be safe.

 

 

And True Detective was superb. I had serious worries that season 1 would be too hard an act to follow, but when the credits rolled I actually had a little smile to myself and thought "I enjoyed that". The two leads were great - even though I had reservations, and the story looks very engaging - even at this early stage. And despite it being a totally different cast, totally different setting, and a totally different story to S1, it still feels the same. Same camera work, same atmosphere.

 

The closing shot just before the fade to black was awesome.

Didn't know True Detective was back - thanks for heads up

[t8yman]

also, during humans, there was a teaser ad for "This Is England 90". Which is nice

[viberunner]

After True Detective was The Brink, an HBO US political comedy drama created by a Weeds writer, starring Tim Robbins (yay!) and Jack Black (mmm).

 

I enjoyed it. It has been accused of lacking satirical bite (The Thick of It it is not) but (spoilers)

they're already verging on nuclear with nuke-jet pilots fucked on MDMA saved only by a drunk politician fresh from a whorehouse

NBC have cancelled Hannibal.

The bastards.

Anyone giving not safe for work ago on channel 4 tonight?

It got a good write up in the metro describing it as the series to define the 30 somethings generation who don't have the opportunities their parents did, stuck in dead-end jobs and house shares..

It's got the girl out of fresh meat in it.

I've videoed it to give it a try later this week.

 

Also started The Brink (starring Jack Black, as Jack Black) - seems ok so far. Also Odyessy - good opener.

NBC have cancelled Hannibal.

The gossip is there was a "rights" tug-of-war with the separately-owned character Clarice Starling and they were unable to secure the rights to her for Season 4.

Just watched the first episode of SCREAM [tv series] considering its been made by MTV its pretty damn good. It does feel like they have taken the original Scream and given it a modern update, rather than a rehash. 

 

If you liked the original two scream films give it a shot, its below their quality in terms of graphic nature [so far anyway] and likeable characters but is a lot like them, much better than 3 and 4 and nowhere near as goofy. 

 

It is missing a David Arquette goofy character who in the first two films I found likeable, and theres no Courtney Cox character but these are very early days. The main underlining story I found very enjoyable and that main character I liked also, some of the kids are annoying however.

I had no idea this was a thing and I'm giving it a DL right now. Thanks.

[luckysalt]

No probs, lemme know what you think.

 

It airs Tuesday nights in US, so next ep will be tomorrow.

I'm finding True Detective a bit of a slog to watch. I'm liking it, but just find it hard to remember who they are talking about half of the time, and to follow who is in with who etc. I'm not fed up, just struggling to keep up. Its nothing specific, just details where I am thinkging "should I know what they are on about here?"

 

anyone else? Or am I just not paying attention properly?

I gave up and got bored after about 5 episodes of Season 1.

Im enjoying TD but yeah you are right it can be tough to follow at times. I find that some mumble words a lot and im straining my ear to hear what they are saying

I loved it, although thought the finale fell a bit short.

 

 

Just started watching damages. So far so good (only 2 episodes in). Glenn Close plays bitches so well.

 

 

Its fantastic in the most part, does wane in the final series imho, but its well worth the time invested for the first few seasons.

yeah, the mumbling is a large part of the issue.
