bunique Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 We're 3 or 4 episodes in to HoC and enjoying it much more than previous series. The Frank/Claire battle of wills and more pieces to camera have improved it massively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I didn't even realise the new series of Fresh Meat had started. So far it's better than the last series of Peep Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I didn't think it was one of his best, but it was of course still brilliant stuff with some really great moments. I can't wait to see what this series brings us, hoping for something of the standard of the IRA/Al Qaeda or UKIP ones from previous series. I listened to a lot of interviews and podcasts with Stewart Lee, where he talked about being a sort of working class jobbing comedian, the economics of what he does and some of the influences that he is referencing. Absolutely fascinating, I could listen to him talk about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t8yman Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I enjoyed it, it wasnt his best stuff, nothing made me lol, but he used his last tour to try out some of the material, so some of it rang a bell with me. I really miss Chris Morris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 8 episodes into House of Cards. Its really, really good. Didn't think Spacey could step it up anymore than he has already done but this is gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 The Shannara Chronicles. Some of the acting is of the standard you'd expect from MTV, but the effects, setting and storyline are excellent. I've watched the first 7 episodes and they kill off major characters at a rate that would make Grrrr Martin blush. It is a blend of tolkeinesque fantasy and post apocalyptic steampunkery, visually it is impressive although there does seem to be a rule that every episode features a sculpted male stripping to the waist so he can have clothes on, pg13 relations with one of the ladies, so if you like that kind of thing, there is that.

The Nal Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Only seen two. Thought I may have been premature with my early praise but this sounds promising. Nope its really great. So good that I'm pissed off I wont get a chance to watch any more before Sunday due to footie, gigs etc. Edited March 10, 2016 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windy_miller Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Didn't realize there was a new series of Stuart Lee on. Will have to watch them on Catch Up. Anyone watching The Night Manager? I'm pretty gripped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone watching The Night Manager? I'm pretty gripped. I am. Between that and Happy Valley i'm in the unusual situation of 2 of my current favourite shows being British.Don't say that often anymore. Although the Night Manager is a co production with AMC I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windy_miller Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Sunday's episode of The Night Manager was a bit tense! Real edge of the seat stuff. Can't wait for the conclusion this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary1979666 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Only 3 episodes into the night manager and really enjoying. Hugh Laurie steals every scene he's in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish hick Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 recently got a android box - so watching Mr Robot, Justified S1, Black Sails s2. On tv - The A word first ep was good , Also Night Manager and Line of Duty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 First episode of the new Line of Duty was pretty brilliant. Haven't been that hooked by a BBC drama for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Just spotted that the original Blues Brothers film with John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd is on Dave tonight at 9pm. Has to be one of the best music films of all time as well as featuring the greatest car chase of all time. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Spindles Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just watched the latest Louis Theroux episode on problem drinkers. He always handles his subjects with tact and integrity, very interesting insight into some fascinating characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunique Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Series 2 of Bloodlines now available on Netflix. I thought series 1 was brilliant so fingers crossed for this one. I'll enjoy having Kyle Chandler back in my life since binge watching Friday Night Lights! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlastoSimon Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Top Gear... anyone watch? Was pleasantly surprised. Decent car show, not spellbinding but think its a better show than Clarkson etc. made. Lots slagging it off, but I imagine that would have been the case whatever happened.
