GluteusMaximus Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm still mesmerised by Curb Your Enthusiasm, I never watched it when it was origanally shown and a mate gave me a loan of the first couple of boxsets, I've never laughed so much and I still catch it whenever it's shown...even if I've watched the episode before!!

KarmaTsunami Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Started watching Breaking Bad. Seems pretty damned good. I now have too many tv shows to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 It's great. For me not highest level top tier great. Which for drama is The Wire, Mad Men, The Sopranos and Twin Peaks. But Breaking Bad might just be as good as it gets outside of that. Second season especially is great and the 3rd has the moment which probably made me jump higher out of my seat than any other scene in television history. Get through it quickly so you can enjoy season 4 when it starts in July.I've watched about 5 or 6 eps of Deadwood now and it is very good but I've yet to see exactly why it is rated so highly by some.

I also love how everyone in the show has their own problems and their past pre-cancer announcement is shown later in the series. Paranoid; Which part are you talking about in S.3? I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I have now ploughed through 4 seasons of 'Mad Men'. I have both the complete 'The Wire' and 3 seasons of 'Deadwood' to choose from....which, which?I had never heard of this 'Bored to Death' until I saw it reviewed in a film mag, sounds like my cup of tea...

That is amazing. But so is the bit in the very last episode where they've got walter, and you think he's about to put jessie in the shit and he has the balls to tell him to kill the guy. Then you don't know if jessie's gonna kill him and then boom. I can't wait to find out what happened after. When I was watching the first and second series the third had already started, so when they got in to scrapes it was like "i know they'll get out of it" but now it's like, oh shit. my description of that last scene doesn't do it any justice, sorry.

I'd love to be able to watch it all with the first time feeling again. Even still it's great on re-watches too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I agree. Definitely go with The Wire. Best thing that has ever been on telly ever probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'd put the wire above every other tv show, film and book ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't know about films and books, but for me it definitely beats The Sopranos. I've still got to give that another try to be honest, but it just didn't blow me away like The Wire did. Watching the last episode in season one of Breaking Bad, after which I might start season 2 or watch the first season of Oz. Has anyone else seen that?

Paranoid Android Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Haven't seen Oz but I'd recommend continuing with Breaking Bad. It's gets even better.Comparing it to books and films is silly really but I just love the wire that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Decided to watch the first season of Oz before hitting season two of Breaking Bad. Glad I did. I had intended it as an emotional break due to the amount of times I was close to tears watching Breaking Bad (wimmin eh?) but since I'm four episodes in and have been in floods twice it's not really helping on that count. Still, O'Reilly, what a fucking prick eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Whats good on British tv at the moment? I've not come across a good series in ages. Last thing I liked was 'the trip' with coogan and brydon. Its just come out as a film in the us, i reckon itll work well in the film format qctually. Beautifully directed. Any suggestions for new stuff? I've not watched Stewart lee's new series yet, any good? I watched a couple of episodes of rhod gilbert's series about jobs but that's about it in the last few months. I fear I'm falling behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Last drama I watched that I really enjoyed was Luther. It's got Idris Elba in it being all broody and menacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just never fancied it at all, I have no idea because American gangster type films are one of my faves.I think I will start on 'The Wire' soon.

Surfer_Rosa Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 This series of Comedy Vehicle is probably better than the first IMO.I'd recommend The Shadow Line, I think it's all up on iPlayer. Really ace, though I maybe wouldn't go this far:The Shadow Line Is Basically Britains The Wire So Get On It | Videogum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 People who haven't watched The Wire yet really should be watching The Wire and not posting.I'm going to check out "The Shadow Line" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
