What TV series are you watching at moment?

got game of thrones season 1 and 2 on blu ray. Only watched a couple of episodes so far but quite enjoyable.

started

peep show .. brilliant brilliant uncensored socially awkward satire. thanks watumm

and legit.. the first episode was fun will check the rest (:

and from the shows that are airing atm I'm still following archer and workaholics

The Killing (original) season 1. saw season 2 when it aired because there didn't appear to be any major continuity between the different series, so finally getting round to checking out 1 now, which is supposedly better.

BBC.Venice.24 - resonable time passer with a lovely backdrop.

BBC-HD Wild Arabia - the nature bits are all right, but why do they have to incorporate humans in these documentaries nowadays. Perhaps they're getting us ready for the day when you won't be able to take pictures of animals on land, without a human somewhere in the shot.

i had the first 2 episodes of this new show on dvr so i decided to catch it last night. it's a prequel to psycho with the exception that it takes place in the 'hope-you-don't-mind-as-we-won't-actually-remain-accurate-to-that-storyline-all-that-much' universe.

what does that mean? well- norman bates listens to his music on an ipod, girls love him, he loves manga comics and has a brother that looks like an extra from degrassi. also his mommy is vera farmiga. oh- and you know how the events of psycho take places in arizona? yes. forget that. now they take place in some fictional town in northern california that looks like a cross between dc and marin county.

in short- if you watched psycho- this is the complete opposite of that (except the name norman bates that required to be mentioned by every character at least 5 times to reinforce that it was in fact norman bates we were looking at)

i have been forced to sit through nearly two seasons of hbo's girls. there are no redeeming qualities and i want to kill myself.

 

 

at least other shows about other things I can't relate to, series about British aristocrats or Italian-American mobs, or zombies, substantive things happen to characters you give at least somewhat give a shit about

 

I didn't hate the one episode Girls I caught part of but just the general premise kind of miffs me

 

meh

i both love and am confounded by why WATMM has zero ability to understand Girls.

just re-watched Breaking Bad, this time with my wife watching as well. She absolutely loved it.

I came around to it. great show

watched all of House of Cards the last week... great show but the last 4th petered off ... felt like they stretched like 5 episodes over 2 or 3 episodes worth of story

I have hopes that it improves... pretty fucking crazy show honestly. it does some great things

just needs a little more character and consistency and core. the three cs

Archer is amazing.

haven't seen season 2 of girls. i look forward to it but can see it going up or down. i'm a sucker for well written romantic entertainment with mild elements of intellectual stuff mixed in. major sucker. way better than sex in the city. just make the artist types fuck the hot girls more, i like those parts.

I need a good show to watch on Netflix. I think I'm going to watch the original British House of Cards tonight.

also something I've been thinking... if people are really like those people in Girls, the world is going nowhere. there will be no new Aphex Twin, no new nothing.

I'll watch this as well. looks good according to the reviews there and I have very little doubt that I'll end up watching all of it.

yeah i know about 4 or 5 girls who could fit into each one of the main characters. It's horrifying. The supporting cast too. Definitely friends with gay men exactly like elijah. And hannah having academic parents who teach at a big midwest state school... and wow 70% of that show is directly my life. And it's not exaggerated. Those people exist and live in greenpoint and they all went to oberlin or wesleyan or bard (shudder) shockingly well observed and portrayed.

season 2 is good too. has a couple stinker episodes but overall very well done... and very very sad.

watching right now - DWTV euromax, as usual.

a (sort of secret) elite team of japanese high school girls doing covert operations for the government and using a yoyo as their weapon of choice. this was very popular in nippon and eventually spawned an anime series, three movies and i'm hoping some collectable yoyos. not sure how the new stuff compares but the original 80s series kicks some serious arse (and bitchin' hairstyles)

Finished first half of Sealab season 1 today. Will start on Harvey Birdman soon.

I've been enjoying Hannibal, there's a lot of things wrong with the show, but I still love it. Best gory serial killers as entertainment show on tv right now. So damned stylish, just a little too stupid to become more than a guilty pleasure.

Parks and Recs.

Just started being shown in the UK. Brilliant stuff.

Hannibal is ok, i'm not quite looking forward to it each week but I'm happy to watch but its on the edge of being just another CSI mashup

Elementary is the best detective show I've watched in awhile

Borgias (canal +) season 2 just hit netflix so I'm starting in on that which is good, better than the Showtime's version in some ways

Hemlock Grove was pretty shitty but really damn fun its kind of a mix of twin peaks and twilight and has the coolest werewolf transformation i think on film

Not hilarious but a good laugh and easy going.

I've had to skip some pages, since for some weird reason I started watching Fringe on a whim, and spoiler tags are out of style.

I've finished Heroes in the interim, which was an interesting twist on X-Men, and I'm watching Weeds when the youngest brother isn't around.

Am I about right in the assessment of Weeds being the funny girl version of Breaking Bad? Because so far it feels that way...

yes on Weeds, except Weeds predates breaking bad. Vince Gilligan talks about this in an interview where when he found out about Weeds after he wrote the script for the pilot he almost totally abandoned the idea fearing people would think it was a knockoff.

YES.

It's so good, all the characters are amazing, there are so many great quotes.

I want more, I want it all over my face.

I'm glad Gilligan still went through with it, Breaking Bad is more intense with less of the "family moments" prevalent in Weeds. Not that it's a fault, it makes more sense.
