What TV series are you watching at moment?

Moone Boy

Second time I've watched this- still pretty excellent. Certainly a worthy successor to Father Ted.

X-men animated series: still the best adaptation of x-men, shows its age in places but overall a surprisingly dark and gritty kids cartoon with plenty of sophistication to keep a non child audience interested

Justice League animated series- missed this one when it first aired, watching all the episodes on netflix now. Way better than it needs to be. Pretty excellent show all around. Yet another reason why the Nolan/Snyder verse fucked any potential for a proper/good DC comics film for good. Just watched the episode where Brainiac takes over Luthor's body, highly entertaining.

Just finished The Lost Room, awesome little mini series that was on Sci-fi channel a while back.

I finished watch The Sopranos for a third time. Still as good as the first time I watched it.

But I hate ending a tv-series I really like, I feel so empty afterwards

AKA life as a loser.

Ha, I've done it 4 times the whole way through. I dunno if I could possibly do it again but it is that good.

This thread is more of a list what watched did and don't discuss it.

I've never seen the sopranos. Keep meaning to watch it but it's never on netflix instant or cheap. and gettign tv shows on dvd from netflix is always painful. guess i'll just have to do it that way. bumped to the top

Trying to get into the US remake of The Bridge on FX, but goddamn it is boring. I thought the Mexican drug war was actually gonna be interesting.

Home Movies Season 2. It's funny.

started house of cards, it's really good, i like how theatrical it all is, those talking to the camera bits are pretty fresh and interesting.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer :o

I've watched through Lost, and I'm starting S6 now. pretty enjoyable

I watched episode 1 of "Awake". The description sounded good. About a guy living 2 realities and trying to keep them straight. He is in a car crash and in one reality his son survived and in his other reality his wife survived. Unfortunately (I wish I had known before watching) it was on NBC, it was cancelled after 1 season and (worst of all) it's a police procedural. It's one of those fucking detective-with-a-twist shows, like monk or numbers or even house. gah. so he has to deal with 2 realities and solve cases. on the plus side - jason issacs is brilliant. not going to watch anymore

i couldn't even finish the first episode. i like diane kruger but she cannot act let alone carry a leading role.

and i love the part where she's like "nobody is allowed to cross the border because there's been a murder" then that mexican cop lets that couple cross and she's like "why did you let them cross" and he just shrugs and says something like "relax. they wanted to cross"

dexter: this is going out on a downhill note unless someone pulls out a bunny from their ass

i just realized star trek tng season 3 and 4 have HD remastered releases now and it looks great so far

this is when the show starts to get good. the first episode of season 3 opens up on a really pimply shot of wil wheatons face.

sopranos/wire/deadwood, repeat.

will soon incorporate seinfeld.

finally decided to watch The Sopranos. on the 8th episode and Im loving it so far. Why did I take so long to watch this? I think I may be biased towards stereotypical Italians.

airwolff is a mainstay in this house

I was the same, only watched it a couple of years ago.

It really is great.

now I realise why Bernard Hill is so good at playing blokes who have totally cracked or are on the verge. this was his breakout role.

pretty grim. good acting. bit self-involved character tho really ain't he

funny too, though. I love good black humour. "don't but me!" *headbutt*

 

he is a bit self-involved. although - won't spoil too much - this is towards the end of the series when he's pretty much lost everything and become a shell of a man, hence the demeanour. at the start he was your typical loud, swaggering hardman full of ambitions and machismo, though quite insecure and paranoid underneath it all.

 

there's an interesting debate here, namely: if a person from a traditional working-class community is affected so badly by the economic climate and policies of the current government as to lose everything they possess, including their sanity, how much responsibility do they have for the situation? how much should they/can they do to get themselves out of it? as a consequence of watching this series, I've read a bit about the old mining/steel/etc blue-collar communities and the like which were considered royally fucked-over by Thatcher and the government before her even, and I've seen arguments from both sides, i.e. those who put all the blame on the gov't for depriving these people of work and dignity, and those who put all the responsibility on those people to just adapt and get on i.e. re-educate. the answer's probably somewhere in the middle.

Maybe some can sell drugs to pay for school? Ideally, right? The government can put the blame on a single person, but not a large group of people. Determinism is a stronger force than free will (which is just a necessary illusion anyway). Social class can convince people of what's expected of them. The Wire does a much better job than I could explaining this situation and from many more angles.

Now done The Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad. What else is there? Is American Horror Story any good?

Watched to final two episodes of Hannibal. The show has had it's fair share ups and downs, but it payed off in the end. I wonder where they'll take it from here.

West Wing, Oz

Tremem

. a much mire meditative slowburn than the wire. So good to have cool lester smooth and the bunky bunk back. Sometimes the uber-political dialogue is laid on a bit thick but i like that the more intimate tone of the show

Typos :(
