TV shows
which ones are good at the moment?
Legit is brilliant, Parks and Rec is on top form at the moment, Community has gone a bit crappy now they've fired Dan Harmon.
What I've seen of black mirror and house of cards is really good too, what else should I watch?
Louie
Seen all of this
Are we due a new season yet?
Not till 2014 :(
He's taken a year off to make the next season as the last one was too close to the bone in terms of actually getting it finished on time.
New stand-up special coming soon though
Legit is a very similar show to louie
but with Jim jeffries and that guy from road trip playing his disabled friend, it's great.
Spartacus
Banshee
Person of Interest
The Walking Dead
You're right on about Parks & Rec. I think it's currently the best it has ever been.
oh, and White Collar
<33333
Sticking the White Collar pilot on now
I'm not watching any detectivey cop dramas at the moment, except bones when my girlfriend has it on, does everyone involved in that show realise how dumb it is? They must do right.
I think it's the cream of network ones right now
It's very 'now' kinda stylish (it'll probably date horribly) but the two leads have amazing onscreen chemistry, the supporting cast gets built up really well and a lot of the plots are really fun and clever.
(plus as it runs usually 14-16 episodes a year the quality stays high)
bones has jumped the shark
used to be really entertaining, but these days its all angela will just run this through the computer & hey presto we have restored a hi res image from that burnt disc
Spiral
someone told me game of thrones is really good
not seen any of it though
I did like an episode and a half of it
it was late and I was high and I had no idea what was happening, have been meaning to try it again when I can concentrate on it.
its fucking brilliant
Blandings
Oh I recently started Breaking Bad too
bit late I know, but it's good init?
Give it a few more episodes and you'll have no need for any new shows until you're up to date with this
I'm a bit into season 2
My girlfriend is at the same point that I am now so we're watching it together, and she's gone to her mums for a few days, so I'm having a bit of a break from it.
Mrs Knees makes us watch Death in Paradise
But thats OK cos it is easy on the eye (Camille)
what season of parks and rec are we onto now?
I stopped wathcing it last year and want to start again. Where can I watch it? Is it on netflix?
not sure about netflix
I use 1channel.ch for US stuff usually, it's all on there, it's been consistently really good, you should catch up.
i will do. thanks :)
it's starting from the beginning on BBC4 too
Oh hi.
Black Mirror is on tonight. You should watch it.
The only two two things I regularly watch week on week at the moment are Question Time and Weekly Wipe
Sad huh
I can't watch Question Time anymore
it used to be a thing I watched every week but its been a long time since anyone went on it to do anything other than repeat the party line and the non-politician says something populist, the Daily Mail columnist says something disagreeable and everyone in the audience is trying to out-smug each other.
I dunno
I enjoyed George Galloway's 'Three cheeks of the same arse' (referring to the big three parties) a couple of weeks back and Peter Hitchens dropping truthbombs all over the shop last week, there's rarely a week where they they don't have at least one interesting character on
last week was like Question Time all-stars
if they replaced the bloke on the end opposite Hitchens with Will Self
I haven't laughed once at the new series of Community
Might give Parks'n'Rec another go. My sister's on at me to watch Girls, should I?
Girlfriend watches it
It seems ok I spose.
Avoid American Horror Story
It is the shittiest writing ever. I only gave it a second chance as it had a few decent people in but it has really really bastardised the horror genre by splicing it with the longevity necessity of all shit shows. The only one glowing message is "we need to prolong this show, fuck plot, fuck characters.. less just pull the Lost method"
the booth at the end
I just watched all of Cracker.
Superb.
fucking love cracker
Breaking Bad
^Best TV Show in the world.
since maybe The Wire

watched the pilot
of that parks and rec last night , didnt really rate it, just seemed like the office but not as funny , does it get better?
much better, stick with it
the first few episodes are a bit crap and really out of synch with the tone of the rest of the show - soon they decide to ditch the office-aping and it gets super great
ok i shall
persist and watch a few more see how it goes my mate swears by it, i didnt hate it, i just didnt see the fuss
wonders of life
