[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Watched series 2 ep 1 of newsroom last night. Carries on in the same indomitable manner

Northern Exposure

Visited there last year!

Watched the last episode of the new series of Arrested Development last night, what did those that watched it think of the series as a whole?

Personally, I thought the way the story was told was excellent but it wasn't quite as hilarious as the earlier ones. Still excellent though.

 

[Worthingite]

Started watching Orange is The New Black on netflix the other day. I liked it. Lots of Lesbianism

Someone here mentioned Top of the Lake (sorry I haven't time to look back) which started on Saturday evening BBC. Have recorded it - wondering whether it'll be the first bit of decent Saturday night TV for a while....?

Definitely not as funny as the original series.

Had its moments though. Well written to link all the different episodes into each other.

I'm totally addicted to Arrow, based on a DC Comic Book. It is absolutely superb.

Parks & Recreation is quality. I LOVE THIS THREAD

New series is starting on C5 'Under the dome' watched the first episode last week and really enjoyed it. Looks like it could be a good show.

‘Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators’ is a one off on SyFy tonight. One of those films to watch after quite a few beers. It’s about mutant alligators and Rednecks. In terms of mutating most Rednecks have got a pretty good start anyway so I’m backing the Gators. From the channel that bought you ‘Sharknado’ which was so awful it was an instant classic.

"It's Always Sunny..." and "Eastbound and Down" are back this month! I would have missed out on belly laughs aplenty had they not been suggested here

Yeah, mostly quite watchable. Shame about the comedy/contrived burning down of the dead cop's house!

 

[RandyWanger]

My TV addictions (sorry if been mentioned before)

Californication
Entourage
Elementary
Homeland
The Following

Seen every episode of all of the above, loved them all. Waiting for new Seasons of them all.

Have seen mentioned but need to bump because they're good too:

SAMCRO, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Arrow, Criminal Minds.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Firefly (comedy adventure space western from Joss Whedon)

Brilliant brilliant series along the film that closes the story Serenity.

You can pick up the entire series on DVD from amazon for £10.

 

[Stat Brother]

Is anyone else watching Ray Donovan?

It's somewhat far fetched but I'm enjoying it.

 

[Acker79]

Yeah. I find his wife and daughter annoying. But I've liked Liev Schrieber since Scream

 

[Stat Brother]

Any thoughts on Bates Motel.

I've videoed it in the off chance someone other than the channel it's on agrees with the hype.

Someone here suggested The Newsroom. They deserve a hearty handshake and a beer. 4 eps in, it's brilliant. I didn't watch The West Wing, but Aaron Sorkin's writing is electric. Highly recommended.
