What TV series are you watching at moment?

The thing about The Day Today and Brass Eye is that every time I re-watch it I expect it to be dated (TDT is 20 years old FFS) and yet it's as relevant as ever!

Better Call Saul Ep 1 - pretty good!

Broadchurch Season 2 - Utter shite

Fortitude - jury is currently out.

I started watching "the office" on netflix on Saturday. I just finished season 5. I'm guessing it's around 100 episodes so far, with 4 seasons to go. It's so stupid I love it. Creed is the most interesting character, when he handed Jim a $3 dollar bill I laughed for longer than usual. There is so much depth & mystery to Creed. I'm so glad I never watched this show before and saved it for a time like this(bedridden with bronchitis).

I just got back from Hawaii so I'm watching Lost having heard from people who love it and from people who don't.

anyone caught Bosch yet?

I've watched 2 episodes so far and the acting in it is noticably bad. The guy from the Wire (Marlo?) as Bosch's partner is horrible and so is the rookie cop love interest. The story also seems to have been done to death - rule-breaking, stubborn detective everyone is convinced is losing his grip will ultimately solve the case and be the hero. It's engaging enough to want to find out what happens in the end, but this isn't mind-blowing TV.

There's a wicked shot in the intro credits with downtown LA flipped upside-down and mirrored on top of the existing downtown that looks like something out of Blade Runner

Watched the first part of JK's The Casual Vacancy (had insomnia at 2am on sunday so got up and watched bbc iplayer), i like it. Lot's of the rural quirks and raw wankiness of village life. Great cast, including this little old Gizmo looking lady who plays Michael Gambon's lover. Great actress.

She just turned 74 today. Happy birthday Julia.

It says in't credits it's partly funded by HBO so y'all will be getting to enjoy this too. I recommend you grasp it.

aye she were all over't telly int 70's/early 80's

an ex was a huge Harry Potter freak, which kinda put me off this, but CV went on to exceed expectations

rural life put to the sword

finally,,,,,,,,

fortitude is boring.

it's trying to spice things up with its scandinavianisms and unorthodox environment but at its core it's just a very conventional mystery/detective thing that offers nothing new.

John Oliver's back, finally. Hooray.

Just wish he'd had the opportunity to do something like his current show for British tv.

Some humungous cultural & institutional boils need serious lancing.

"Oh well........"

Better Call Saul - top notch
Walking Dead - /Walking Dead
Lilyhammer - OK, but pretty flawed and cheapish here and there

anyone watching the new house of cards season? i think it's the best yet. i wasn't super into the previous two seasons, it seemed like they weren't trying to go for what washington is really like in all its multifaceted madness, and instead just took a few parts from it. this season seems more fleshed out and they dont just focus on like 3 dynamics for the whole thing.

yep, swallowed it all in 2 days. don't know how to compare it to previous seasons but it seemed just as classy, theatrical, stylish and enchanting as i remember. it's like someone made a movie of crusader kings 2 game and fleshed it out dramatically

I know I'm late to the party on this, but I just started watching Fringe. Really reminds me of X Files and Outer Limits. Still early days though.

House of Cards Season 3

I think this season has sort of hit it home for me that this show is one of the best ever.

Man Seeking Woman is pretty great

I missed last weeks episode, but yea, this show is strange. In a good way mind you. lol's around from the suburban bus bit in the prior episode.

the last man on earth s01e01 - it goes too much into this twee-cutesty-indie humor sphere but i still found it super fun and funny most of the time, it has this nice feel-good escapist vibe that i found endearing.

Looking forward to watching that tonight.

Binge watched house of cards on sunday. good but i didn't really buy the claire split, kinda siding with frank on that one. and the doug side plots are always so boring to watch trough.

well, I'm wrapping up the last episode right now and I must say that I probably jumped the gun with my assessment.

this show has a lot of good aspects but overall this season has been a pretty big drop in quality, the first half was fucking great but the second half is just fucking mush
