Paranoid Android Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 And then watch again to double check. And then really annoyingly badger anyone you know who hasn't seen it that it's the greatest thing ever. But hurry, there can't be many people left needing badgering!

ca_gere Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I can't see the new arrested development being any good. There's just no way they'll recapture that magic. I'd love to be proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm quite optimistic it will be good actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I read an interview with him recently and Michael Cera is a bit of a dick now. He came across like a bit of a tosser throughout. I liked how innocent and dougheyed he was in the early seasons, before he became Billy Big Bollocks. Now I'll be watching it thinking "you're the reason this has been delayed for about 5 years, because of your films about feelings and hipster music, you prissy little cunt" So hopefully he's not in it much, or I hope he's a good enough actor to completely cover up the unrelenting "I'm a cunt" vibes that he gives off. Will Arnett will probably never stop being brilliant, nor will David Cross, so that could be enough to keep it totes gr8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I can't see the new arrested development being any good. There's just no way they'll recapture that magic. I'd love to be proved wrong. This is exactly how I feel about it. It will probably be utter toss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Has anyone seen any of Veep yet? I've just downloaded the first season. Not watched it yet but will tonight. I believe it is based on, but not strictly an "American version" of In The Thick Of It, written mostly by the same folk who wrote In The Thick of It. It's got Elaine from Seinfeld and Buster from Arrested Development. Oh, and Matt Walsh, from things what are funny. I can't believe how really really bad The Following got. It's so bad that it's amazing. I've laughed more at the Following than I have Community Season 4. Not because Community is bad, but because The Following is hilarious. It's almost bordering on Threat Level: Midnight. Just utter nonsense. My favourite drama at the moment is Banshee. Recommended if you like gratuitous yet slightly needless amounts of sex and violence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Owl PhD Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I watched four episodes of series 1 of Veep when I was flying to America recently. I thought they were really good - probably the best American comedy I've seen for a while. Certainly quite reminiscent of the Thick of It.

Paranoid Android Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I watched half of the first episode of veep. Don't really have much more to say than that. The Americans has continued to be excellent. People should be watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's enjoyable once it gets going. JLD and Tony Hale are brilliant together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer_Rosa Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Both Parks and Rec and Bob's Burgers have been crushing it so consistently this season I barely give them the recognition they deserve. I'm struggling to remember when I was last disappointed in an episode of either. Just the fucking best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I also have Veep downloaded and ready to go, so will take it on next. The Following is hilarious, but I'm going to watch it until the end! (...of season one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Is anyone else watching Game of Thrones? Shit definitely started getting real this week like.

Woodsinho Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 GAME OF OWNS. Yeah, that was really jarring. I thought it must have been some sort of mistake when it started but no, meant to be like that. Odd decision. Amazing episode ending before the fade to black. Prediction: Big Sam from North of the Wall ends up King of Everything. Anyone who starts out that weak and snivelly and generally unsuited to their environment but continues to not die is destined for big things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prediction: Big Sam from North of the Wall ends up King of Everything. Anyone who starts out that weak and snivelly and generally unsuited to their environment but continues to not die is destined for big things There's no way he doesn't have a massive role to play. I don't believe he's there to be "funny fat lad who's really bad at things" forever. I've always had Arya pegged as the one who eventually takes over the world, although I've no idea how it'll happen. She's certainly much more likable than her sniveling shit of a sister. Part of me just wants to see Bronn become king. What a man. "There's no cure for being a cunt," etc. Him and The Hound need to be a tag team. The second half of the siege episode when The Hound was all "fuck the king, fuck this, fuck that, I'm out," was quality. Shame about Jaime's hand and all. I went through two seasons despising the guy, but they really did a good job of turning the silver-tongued twat into a sympathetic character. I;m not sure why he fell for his captor's act, though. He was already pushing it by talking him out of having his way with Breinn, but all that other chat? The boy was clearly having none of it. Step your game up, Kingslayer. Next episode should be a cracker. Looks like a serious ruckus is gonna occur north of the wall, and I'm desperate to see what happens with the Khaleesi/dragon/Unsullied situation. Why can't it be Monday night yet?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Game of Thrones. Oy vey, what an episode. So many great character moments. Dany. I probably should have seen this coming a mile-off as, looking back, it was pretty obviously, but the whole scene was fantastic. "Valyrian is my Mother tongue." The Unsullied taking care of business. That look between Barristan and Jorah. Brilliant. Varys and Tyrion. Throughout most of this scene I was sitting there thinking "what a load of irrelevant, meandering shite," until Varys opened the box. Probably my favourite scene of the series so far. Theon. Unlucky, pal. Thinks he's been saved. Opens his heart, pours out his soul and regains some of your favor, then BANG, back to the torture rack you go, son. This guy is a motherfucker... My love affair with The Hound continues. He's really shined since he was given more to do and say, and I'm really looking forward to seeing him and Beric thrown down next week, although I really don't want either of them to die. I don't really know what else to mention. The whole episode was great. I really need to read the books, because I can't stand waiting a week for the next episode.
