Who's watching what on tv

Forbrydelsen - or "The Killing" was superb to the end, theres a rather gushing piece in the guardian today about it.

Finished it couple of days ago. Did chuckle to myself a few times in the early episodes where any significant clue emanated those 3 piano notes, like some spider senses tingling special power drawing Lund there , but overall excellent.

Be interesting how the 2nd season holds up.

There's a US remake of the Killing which started last night...

[guypjfreak]

watching that GODS OF THE ARENA great series especially as the bird from THE HUSTLE gets her kit of

yeah I read about it - its really made only for people who cant or wont watch subtitled stuff. I cant see it being much cop tbh.

[Jackmypie]

Watching 'Filthy Cities' on BBC 2. The presenter has said the word 'filth' about 100 times now.

[t8yman]

we are up to episode 7 of 8 of "Spiral" season 1. its the "gritty" french drama I mentioned a while back that Brooker recommended. season 3 is now filling the gap left behind by The Killing on saturday nights.

f**k me - gritty aint the half of it. every episode is like "Se7en"

oh, nearly forgot to mention Audrey Fleurot, she plays a starchy lawyer. here she is

or if you prefer

jesus-f**king-wept I love her. A lot.

apart from the delicious Ms Fleurot, the series is great, the subtitles are quite quick for the non initiated, but it has actually helped my french, and the french legal system is fascinating in its differences to ours.

Highly recommended viewing, I got the S1 and S2 boxset from amazon for hardly feck all.

[Jaybles]

Just finished the last episode of season 4 of Californication.

Absolutely love this show, comedy genius. Hank Moody is a cool muthaf**ka and Runkle is the funniest character on tv.

[jump]

Watched an episode of Family Guy last night and was amazed there wasn't any those random flash jokes in it.

[Matticus]

Ive been on a Dexter marathon as of late. Can't believe ive never seen it before until now. Superb show.

Forbrydelsen - or "The Killing" was superb to the end, theres a rather gushing piece in the guardian today about it.

it is a long article, and if you cant be arsed to read it, heres 2 great little bits for the lazy to read

They both recall how big a hit Forbrydelsen was in Denmark in 2007. "It was watched by two million people every Sunday night, which doesn't sound like much but there are only six million people in Denmark," says Mikkelsen.

Mikkelsen heads off to prepare for his performance as Alceste in Molière's The Misanthrope, leaving Gråbøl to tell me how, shortly before she recorded the last episodes of the first season, she was approached by the relatives of a woman who was dying of cancer. The woman feared she wouldn't live long enough to find out who killed Nanna Birk Larsen. "So I wrote her a note and put it in an envelope. She read it and tore it into little pieces so the nurse couldn't find out who did it. The following day she died."

been told by a couple of people how good this show is, my dads watched both seasons 1 + 2, and my mate who works for same company i do but lives in Denmark told me over communicator the other day that I should check it out

I had been a bit put off by the fact it's subs tbh, but judging by what everyone says I do really need to give it a watch

There's a US remake of the Killing which started last night...

Apparently it's not too bad, they've tried to get actors as similar to the Danish one as possible

I'll probably watch some of the US one at some pojnt just to see

[When Jokers Attack]

really enjoying Treme just now.

Watching most things on Sky Atlantic actually, Curb, Battlestar Galatica which is brilliant and looking forward to Game of Thrones starting next week.

[Shinny]

I am currently hooked on Rookie Blue. That is a show that doesn't take itself seriously.

[A-Rob]

Bought Justified Season 1 Boxset.

Watched the first 2 episodes so far, it seems another good series from FX.

Series 2 starts on fiver or whatever it s called now next wednesday at 10pm. What I have seen so far is fantastic.

[incident]

Just watched the first episode of Breaking In - first impressions are that it's a big improvement on pretty much every other sitcom out there at the moment if only because it's trying to do something a bit less generic.

Also, if you can overlook the fact that it's kinda related to Gridiron, The League is pretty good.

[minute5072]

I keep meaning to watch the league. Didnt realise jon lajoie was in it so will definitely need to check it out.

Over the last week have watched the first series of justified, which is brilliant, and all of parks and recreations, which I've enjoyed a lot!

Ron Swanson FTW

[t8yman]

i'm banging on about spiral again, we only have 2 eps of season 2 to go, then we can start s3 which is on bbc3 at the mo. s2 is even better than the first.

[Mighty Beancurd]

Ive been on a Dexter marathon as of late. Can't believe ive never seen it before until now. Superb show.

I've just finished watching season 4 of Dexter, which I think was the best one yet. John Lithgow is brilliant in it.

[sifi]

5 jumped tge shark a bit I think. 3 and 4 were tge high water marks.

[minute5072]

Anyone else watch Steve Carell's last episode of the office?

Jesus, that scene with him and Jim was emotional

[t8yman]

The shadow line has become my new obsession tv'wise. The first episode left me confused and unfulfilled, but ep2 pulled it right out of the bag, I can't wait for Thursday's instalment

[Jackmypie]

New episodes of family guy

[minute5072]

Castle series 3 finale. f**king cliffhangers!!! grrrr :angry:

Somebody started cutting onions just as that scene was on. I really hope they go somewhere with Creed as manager. Even if it's just a few scenes.

Got through The Killing. Was about 4 or 5 episodes too long. Got very 24, bringing in twists just for the sake of it. Second season is decent so far, the terrorism angles a bit too easy though. Spiral after season 2.
