ca_gere Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Top of The Lake - pretty good. Kinda fizzled out a bit after a really good first few episodes. The ending is fucking grim. Narcos - I'll watch anything about Pablo Escobar/the heyday of colombian drug trafficking. This is a bit over-the-top but it's really entertaining.

Surfer_Rosa Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm catching up on Mr Robot. The name and subject matter didn't encourage me to give it a go, but a heard a lot of people say it's actually pretty good. They're right.

Stroopy121 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Re-watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Never ever stops being amazing. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) It's Always Sunny is always on rotation in my house. From beginning to end, when there's nothing on the telly, It's Always Sunny is on. Never gets old. The High School Reunion episodes are a firm favourite, and The Gang Misses The Boat. Dennis is the best at meltdowns. Edited September 16, 2015 by Soda van Jerk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 The only episode I skip is the Liberty Bell one. That episode aside, it's incredibly consistent. Even the ropey first season. FIGHT MILK! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Gimme something funny to binge on Netflix. I've already covered Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Always Sunny, and Community didn't really click with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I just realized that all of Frasier is on Netflix. So do what I'm doing and watch loads of Frasier. New stuff get out of here!! Speaking of new stuff, the new David Simon show is great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 If you're using US Netflix, then Traffic Light is a decent watch. It got canned after one season, so there's not much of it. It has little re-watch value, but it's good to blast through on a Sunday afternoon. It's got Nick the IT Guy and Roy from The Office, and that bellend from the old BT Adverts and My Family, but he's quite good in it. I don't know if it's on Netflix, but Workaholics is great too.

Soda Jerk Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I started watching Friday Night Lights. It's weird. I don't get it. I thought it was going to be like a wimpier Varsity Blues, with the OTT soppy teen drama and a sport that I'm not all that interested in. I read a link on something like "Christianity Today" claiming it was the best show on TV for it's fixation on religion and whatnot; all reasons for me to not want to give it the time of day. But I did anyway, and it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Anyone been watching Catastrophe? I really like it. Howling with laughter at times. It's a little bit guilty of using shock crudeness in the place of humour on occasion but it gets away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my wife and I love it, I think there's bits of us in the characters and thats what makes it hilarious for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Has anyone watched The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime? Started it and, like the book (which it doesn't follow that closely so far), I think the idea is better than the execution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I watched the first episode and although it was quite intriguing, it didn't grip me in a way I hoped it would. Like you say - such a great idea, but a ropey storyline, saved by some relatively good acting IMO. Not going to be rushing to watch the rest of the series but may pick it up in the next lull of THINGS TO WATCH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Yeah, we watched 3 episodes and part way into the fourth we both just couldn't be arsed any more and turned it off. Might go back to it if we're in the mood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'm reading the book just now. Looking forward to watching the show after. High-concept real-world shit like that is my shit. Catastrophe is great. Rob Delaney is a terrible stand up but he's really good in this. Maybe he's found his niche as a single camera sitcom schlub.

Mr Owl PhD Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 The new series of Fargo is really, really good. Even better than the first. Maybe even better than the film. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 fargo is pretty great. Ploughing our way through the first season just now. The likeness to the film I still don't fully understand - it'd be a fantastic show in its own right so why not just make a unique show? Then again, the fargo-ness is what makes it good maybe? The accents, snow, etc BBT is flawless in it. If he doesn't win some awards I'd be surprised. I think Martin freeman is excellent too.

Paranoid Android Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Fargo season 1 and 2 are both excellent. I think I might prefer the second one too. I can't wait for the finale. I think the references to the film (and many other Coen Bros films) are far too strong for it ever to work or get away with being something wholly separate. I think the way in which it's been done is brilliant and I wonder if it might inspire some other movie inspired shows. Does anyone watch The Leftovers? I got through the two seasons quite quickly in the last couple of weeks. I'd only rate it as decent, worth a watch but it seems like there are many people (online at least) who think the second season has turned it into the best show on tv.

Lemonade Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'll have to have another go at Fargo, I was watching it when it was on Channel 4 but I've got to the point where I just can't watch shows like that week to week. It's binge watch or nothing, and I lost interest halfway through the first series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought Season 1 was ok, didn't see it getting a second series but when it did I thought I'd keep watching. 2nd series is leagues ahead of the 1st, it seems to have grown considerably into its story. Fingers crossed it carries on like it is, not even sure if the 3rd series has been greenlit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
