DANGERMAN Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 unless Channel 4 do something odd with the scheduling it finishes a couple of days before christmas, The Killing finishes this weekend, and The Hour finishes next week. That's it for good tv for the foreseeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'm currently watching some old Derren Brown shows, very clever man. If the shows really are made with "no stooges or actors" then it boggles the mind how he does some of it. I keep hearing about Homeland the same way I kept hearing about Breaking Bad so I'm gonna take it as a good sign to start watching. Is it on UK Netflix?

retroed Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's not on Netflix. Series 1 is out on DVD/Blu-ray, and 2 is nearing its end on channel 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think Breaking Bad is better. Homeland is like a sleeper hit. I think Ed's one of the few people that's watching it going by my twitter feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wholehole Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I wish Blood & Chrome had been aired on the TV as originally intended. Far too awesome to be relegated to YouTube. Re-watching Arrested Development on Netflix currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 is anyone else watching Limmy's Show? It's a Scottish sketch show on the iplayer, the latest episode (ep 5) is genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've heard some of the audio shows. The one that always sticks in my head is the ex-junkie woman who always ends up harassing someone. One time it was Marti Pellow from Wet Wet Wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Up to episode 12 in Freaks & Geeks, great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Starting to watch fringe season 1, hhmm so far it's good, like a modern xfiles, always a few years behind but means I have great tv to catch up on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 is anyone else watching Limmy's Show? It's a Scottish sketch show on the iplayer, the latest episode (ep 5) is genius Yeah, it has been good so far but the more conventional sketch stuff hasn't been that hot this series, like the Paraside, Adventure Call and Deedee, but the weirder one-off stuff has been good; probably the best he's done.

Uncle Dokuro Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 FX is one of my favorite channels. They seem to just make hits - Louie, Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story to name a few. Well they have a new show coming next month called The Americans. I like the cold war Russian spy embedded in the U.S. slant. FX may have another hit on their hands. Promos for The Americans http://www.youtube.c...h?v=p-qEGs-3lnk http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Qyq1RC12dF0 http://www.youtube.c...h?v=NrabBaKAUyU http://www.youtube.c...h?v=ikSLiJYzxrE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Anyone seen the show, Spy? I think it may only be on Sky, started last year, I only found out about it the other week when a friend recorded it and showed it me. Very funny, has the same sense of humour and timing as Spaced and Shaun of the Dead. It's about a guy who accidentally stumbles into a job as an MI5 spy and is rubbish but somehow ends up looking like he knows what he's doing. The only problem is that I recognised the main guy as having played John Cleese in a show about the Pythons during the Life of Brian stuff. After that, I had trouble thinking of anything other than Cleese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dokuro Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Been watching Ripper Street on BBC America which is brilliant. This goes down as one of my favorite shows. Also caught the pilot for The Americans, which was a massive let down for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Been watching Criminal Minds:Suspect behaviour on watch, i really should learn by now american crime stuff on other non hi profile channels never get a second season, been sucked in before and damn its happened again! Tbh it was a slow series and not as gripping as the original Criminal minds but well worth a watch if thats your thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Has anyone else been watching Utopia? It's still infuriatingly vague but it's so well shot! They've picked a cast from things that people who will watch will really like, it seems deliberate too given that they've got both the people from Kill List in it (shame Gav's wife isn't in this though). I like how bluntly violent it is at times too, the opening of this weeks episode probably wouldn't have made it to air a couple of weeks back Been watching Ripper Street on BBC America which is brilliant. This goes down as one of my favorite shows. I saw the trails for this and wanted to watch it, but most of the reviews I've seen have been really down on it. Hopefully I'll remember to give it a go before it disappears from iplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I was gonna bring up Utopia too as I'm enjoying it. I just cought up with the second and third episodes yesterday and it is dark, but weirdly cartoonishly so. It's got a lot of familiar faces in it as well as the Kill List guys. It's got the bloke that was blown up by sheep in Four Lions and the Scottish guy out of The Thick of It who isn't Malcolm Tucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm at a bit of a loss now I've finished Arrested Development, and while I wait for the rest of Breaking Bad, so I started watching The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret because it has two from AD in it. It's way too cringey for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll remember to give it a go before it disappears from iplayerI'm up to episode 5 now, it's not too bad. It doesn't seem to know what it is though, tonally it's quite dark at times but it pulls its punches as though it was pre-watershed. The cast is great though, loads of people who you recognise, or would if not for the scars and facial hair. Disappointingly they've managed to make the wife from Kill List look less than amazing despite her being a madam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
