What TV series are you watching at moment?

Lol at all the bitching about Mr Robot. Best show since twin peaks for creating that "wtf is going to happen next" atmosphere.

Loved the last episode.

The C-64 was a nice touch.

Barry Shitpeas on Mr Robot will be 1 to watch

better things is really bad. the first episode was weak to borderline amusing, and had one beautiful scene, but the second one is just a complete trainwreck. it's just mindbogglingly humorless, uninspired, dull, poorly edited, directed and acted. that mix of bratty, obnoxious middle-aged woman with a really teenage sarcasm and sense of humor, and that particular manner of dialogue delivery that is pamela adlon's character/acting is just painful to watch. there's nothing amusing or interesting about her or her depicted life, but allegedly, according to the reviews, she's supposed to be some new feminist flag bearer. i really hate to sound even remotely like the local alt-right, but it really does feel like the good reviews this uninspired shit is getting has to do with the fact that the show presents itself as something progressive and feminist, like it's checking the right "issues" boxes or something. ffs, just because some women related issues are not getting enough screen time and coverage it doesn't mean that simply covering them makes your shit automatically artistic or important or makes for a good drama/comedy. even sadder is louie ck's involvement, it's just amazing how literally none of the strengths of his own show are present here.

That host is the real life Philomena Cunk . 

lol. I couldn't put together this post and Ms Dooley's appearance, so I youtubed some random stuff she's done. so chavvy.

watched The Night Manager over the last few nights, pretty good. seemed like a very high budget for a BBC show, the bit where they were demonstrating all the ordinance was a lol.

I think it was partly funded by AMC as well.

yeah except it was really really bad. hugh laurie was laughable. "look at my eyes - they are serious because i am bad"

only ok part was tom hollander

Agreed

I can't take Hugh Laurie seriously in anything because of Blackadder. I still thought it was decent enough though.

Finally got around to watching Rick and Morty S2. Just as strong or maybe stronger than the first, which is saying a lot. "Total Rickall" is my favorite, though that could change with a rewatch. Couple of pretty heavy endings in there as well.

American Horror Story - this season is a different approach: it's an Unsolved Mysteries type format, the "real events" actors recount what took place, while the usual cast plays the actors re-enacting those events.  At least for now.  Good to see Cuba Gooding Jr. as a regular now after his stellar performance as OJ.

South Park premiere was funny, but everyone has moved on from the Olympics already, so that was moot.

I love that episode too, that was my S2 favourite also.

I also thought Laurie was pretty good in this. Affable enough on the surface but a real bastard underneath it all.

Total Rickall is da best, agreed

Elizabeth Debicki is my big, huge, massive take away from The Night Manager. I've yet to enjoy any post Cold War Le Carré though.

Just started Very British Problems on Netflix and the first episode was pretty cute. Should probably be a 20-30 minute show instead of 45 minutes, but I just run shows like that in the background only half paying attention anyway.

just found out that chris hansen is back on tv busting pedos. how did i miss this? time to correct that error

so not a crossover featuring the predators from outer space? disappointed.

been watching bates motel, it's really good despite some glaring weaknesses. the relationship between the two main characters and the ensuing psychodrama are superbly conceived. that borderline-too-weird-for-tv grownup son-mother relationship gets very uncomfortable, and it's exciting, it's something i don't think i've ever seen on tv. vera farmiga's acting is really the best i've witnessed for a while on the screen. pretty much every scene with the two main characters is engaging and full of energy, even though highmore tends to overact from time to time. it's just captivating even without any actual development into some particular direction.

but then all of it couldn't really exist in a vacuum so there's this fucked-up-but-high-brow, oregon crime town that's been conceived to give characters a world to inhabit, and that's where the show is significantly weaker. it gets bogged down in (mostly) boring crime related story lines (the whole weed wars/zane/nick ford shit was just dull), and poorly developed characters. there's something twin peaks about it, at least it tries to go for that with all kinds of mysteries and webs of lies and messed up teenagers, but it never really takes off anywhere interesting apart from that weirdly nonchalant and casual attitude to death and murder (which happen very often) by most of the characters. although i can't even say if it's an oversight by the writers or actually something intentional, in any case it kinda makes it amusing in a way. all those interleaved town proceedings make the show a quite a bit soapy and sort of mask its real strengths, but keeping up with it payed off.

binging on American Horror Story: Coven, their definition of "horror" is definitely loose, but most of the acting is believable.  Lol at them using the same motel from Fargo.

Mr. Robot S02 season finale - Thoroughly enjoyed. The season got tied up nicely setting up an interesting season 3 with more parts in motion. No Phillip monologue though...wtf?

Seriously, I hope they open Season 3 with a 10 minute Philip monologue - it should start with an amusing anecdote about the American civil war, touch briefly on sexual hedonism in the 1960s, and close on why he is the most powerful person in the world.

At least we can kind of see where this is going now.
