How good is Tim Roth as Christie? I believe his performance in the final ep is equally outstanding.Quote:

He's excellent - final episode is on tonight I think.Quote:

My favourite new show this year was Atlanta on FX. Donald Glover from Community aka Childish Gambino writes/stars. Really original and funny, similar to Louie in tone.
Also just finished The Night Of. Amazing acting and would recommend but it didn't quite live up to the first 2/3 episodes which were unbelievable.
First episode of the new series of Always Sunny in Philadelphia was brilliant. :faf:
Just watched a film called 'wild' starring Reese Witherspoon on sky movies from 2014 thought it was very good viewing
Devil's knot is next to watch then mud
I'm way late to the party but I'm on season 3 of the Sopranos. Do they ever stop eating?! Every scene!
Few episodes into the 2nd season of 'The Man In The High Castle' it's very good.
Just over halfway through season 3 of Ray Donovan, continues to be good.
I think it's great - I don't know many folk that watch it though. They're missing out.Quote:

I don't think that's quite correct but I am enjoying it.
The Shanara Chronicles contains most of the things you didn't fancy watching in GOT, I've not watched it for similar reasons but, quite enjoyed Shanara Chronicles.Quote:

I've watched The OA recently which was baffling but enjoyable.
Also just finished the 2nd series of High Castle and I'm still none the wiser.
I think I prefer RD although they are both very good.Quote:

I don't normally watch prime time TV but i enjoyed Taboo on BBC Saturday night, historical epic fare with Tom Hardy doing his borderline cockney psycho thing.
Series two will be called Mirage I bet...
Ha ha, I see what you did there, Bezique for s3?Quote:

Cannae be worse than The Pinkertons, 1 or 2 eps was enough for me!
not saw it mentioned on here but has anyone watched 'the man in the high castle' ? i watched the first episode on amazon prime after the 30-day trial was up and noticed there's been two series so far, worth downloading/watching the rest from elsewhere ?
Just watched the last Sherlock episode on BBC.
Really up there with one of my favorites. The writers really do deserve a medal. It can be hard to follow at times but it really is superb and they have the perfect actors.
I know imuch late to the party but I've just finished the 1st 2 series if sons of anarchy.really liking it so far.
It's very good I'm halfway through S2Quote:

We've been binge watching "The Killing". part-way through Season 2. Enjoyable if perhaps a little drawn out.
If you enjoy the killing then watch "the Bridge". It's a Swedish/Danish production and I watched it in German but it's still a good watch.Quote:

2nd series of it and quite enjoyable.
Watched the first couple of eps, its very good.Quote:

Just started to watch the Dutch series, Framed, on All Four. Looks promising except for the main character not recognising his brother who has apparently transformed into a 'hot chick'. Still, artistic licence and all that.
I just finished sense8, what a weird but strangely addictive show it is. I watched the first couple of episodes and forgot about it. I started watching it again and at no point was I thinking this is good, but I couldn't stop watching it. Weird!
:agree: The Bridge is superb. Saga Noren is such a great character.Quote:

For anyone who likes documentaries on TV, the Discovery channels are apparently getting pulled from Sky at the end of the month.
Goliath any good? Given up with lucifer , couldn't get into the characterQuote:

What did you think of Continuum? I only watched the first series, but it's something I might go back to.Quote:

Does anyone else watch Death in Paradise (not watched last nights yet)? Its so bad its good! :-)
I think the secret is not to take it too seriously.
I enjoyed it. The problem is that it wasn't renewed after 3 seasons. They made a 4th series to finish the story, but it was only 6 episodes, meaning it was a wee bit abrupt.Quote:

Broad church is looking good, enjoyed first episode.Quote:

The Replacement was good too, would recommend it.
Aye, anything with Vicky McClure in it seems to be good (I've watched the first 40 mins, will watch the end after the darts).
Black Sails continues to be good too.
Inside no 9 is just amazing. The episode on Tuesday took you through a few emotions in 30 minutes and the message on the board at the end was very clever.
Watched the first couple of eps of Thirteen on BBCi player this morning, very promising. (5 eps in total, is removed from the iplayer on 15/3).
I watched that last year when it came out, ill be interested to hear your views once you're done.Quote:

The ending was bollocks! I can only surmise that they were originally going to have more than 5 episodes, it was a tad abrupt to say the least.
Agreed.Quote:

Outcast season 2 starts Monday and Prison break starts Wednesday i think :cb
Is anyone actually enjoying The Walking Dead? I find myself complaining at work every Tuesday, might call it a day after this season.
I'm relay enjoying Homeland this series, one of the best in a while.
:agree:Quote:

I've been the same for the last few years. They always manage to reel me back in with spectacular beginnings/ends to each season, everything in between is poor.Quote:

A few of my mates have been raving abiut Legion might have to give that a watch, Black Sails is another I haven't got round to watching yet.Quote:

Prison Break starts up again in America tonight!
Legion is amazing. It's like a cross between Fight Club, Mr Robot, One flew over the cuckoo's nest and hannibal set in the x-men universe/timeline.
The main character is an omega strength mutant (his powers could destroy the world) who is schizophrenic and battling other personalities for control of his mind and body.
It's visually stunning, well written and acted with an extremely complex story. Not for casual viewing, you need to watch it.
It's the trippiest, most mind-bendingly awesome Marvel product I've ever seen.
It won't be everyone's cup of tea. For those that like the kind of thing...watch it now!
Currently re-running the first 2 series of Twin Peaks, in anticipation of the new series next month. :greengrin:greengrin:greengrin
I did that recently, i'm looking forward to the new one!Quote:

I'm on episode 5, it's a really interesting watch to see how different people have affected her.Quote:
