so is breaking bad worth watching?

Yes.

Episode 1 of the new thick of it . Seemed like just a bunch of weakly scripted insults thrown about like everyone was a crap Malcolm Tucker. The only half decent character was Peter Mannion. And where was Malcolm? Piss weak by its usual standards. Can only improve. I am disappoint.

yeah it was a little weak i agree. twitter went wild for the twix line *shrug*

second episode was much better. malcolm having no power is tv gold

although i always say the show shouldnt be too much about malcolm - he is the best thing so far in this series

Rake - aussie crime drama (i guess). Fairly generic premise of morally misguided, well meaning criminal defense lawyer - channeling a bit of McNulty. I'm usually resistant to Australian tv which i know is a stupid attitude but I actually find the characters to be nuanced and evolving enough to save this from being just another crime series shaking the morality stick. It also doesnt shy away from some of the glaring hypocrisies of Australian culture - it airs on ABC, which is our government funded/ non commercial station -and for the most part itleaves these topics (eg race riots, misogyny) open which I like . Ie. it never really 'passes judgement' by the end of it.

Pretty ggood I would recommend.

I'm on the first episode of Veep, pretty good so far.

Just got Walking Dead season 2 on blu-ray.

Never watched any of this as it aired, the missus has gone out for the day so i'm settling down for a marathon

There's a new Australian drama out soon based on Julian Assange's story, could be okay

No fucking way, that looks atrocious.

It's a CH10 telemovie, I wouldn't be expecting David Fincher. imdb gave it 5.2

The French have always made the best police thrillers.

I'm hesitating...

Should I start watching Nip / Tuck ?

watched bo selecta for the first time ever stoned out my box this weekend, the most stupid, amazing thing ive ever seen. 9/10

Burn Notice season two. Its just about ok.

Reruns of Star Trek TNG on Pick TV while the wifes out at zumba. Mint.

season one of once upon a time on netflix

i don't know why i'm doing this to myself

it's bad but in that highly watchable way, and everyone in it is pretty. especially the two main characters.

Season 2 of the X-Files. As a kid I never noticed it, but Mulder is always incredibly bored, like he just wants to go to bed, look all emotionally distant and slowly spoon ice cream into his mouth. I don't get it. He's usually in immediate danger and kind of just mopes from place to place solving shit nonchalantly, again as if he's really just thinking about ice cream. It's no wonder nobody believes him.

he's just constantly drunk is all. vodka in his orange julius.

Watching through the sopranos for the first time. Up to "Pine Barrens"

Enjoying it pretty well but even though it's only a decade(ish) old it shows its age sometimes compared to more recent tv dramas (not necessarily a bad thing just interesting how quickly certain aspects of culture move on)

Watched the first episode of Girls

Shamelessly liked it

so i've been checking out Homeland because of all the hype it still continues to get, and i'm sort of blown away by how bad it is. It's actually sort of depressing that 11 years after 9/11 this type of over wrought war on terror shit still entertains people.

I assume it is kind of hard for you to watch anything into this direction unbiased considering how deep you have been exploring the topic. Its like watching a Hollywood movie about the IDM movement. I guess nobody here could watch that.

I try to not overanalyse it and just be entertained as its hard to find really good TV-shows these days.

I wonder what the people who actually got caught up in 9/11 think about this sort of TV. Is it entertainment for them or is it a reminder that one day the terrorists actually did attack the US and that real people died.

I might feel differently about watching these sort of shows if I was.
