Just watched the first episode of the hunger, enjoyed it a lot. Seems like a more adult and erotic version of tales from the darkside and tales from the crypt. Well worth the 7.50 I paid for both series.

Damn! Damn! Damn!

I forgot to watch the first episode of Top of the Lake. Did anyone see it and can you recommend it?

Watched highlights from Download 2013.
Wow, Alice in Chains were :censored: incredible.
Super band.

iPlayer!! ;)

Am rewatching Sapphire & Steel. All of it. In order.

It's part of my programme to wean myself off Franco. Pray that it worketh, labfolk!!

:lol:

The new album is awesome, they're playing in Leeds in November with Ghost, reckon I might have to finally check them out live after all this time :rockon:

Who's their singer now?

William DuVall, and he's doing a damn fine job too, didn't think anyone could replace Layne, but he fits the bill

:focus:

Just finished watching episode 4 of Under The Dome, this show just keeps getting better!
This is how you adapt a Stephen King novel, yeah Kubrick, I'm talking to you!

ep 4 was pretty good, i hope it's not going to be an incident of the week type show though. Is big Jim gonna keep her down there to protect Jr?

Big Jim is the main villain from the book, so there's a lot we haven't seen from him yet, and Junior for that matter

I've not read the book so everything is going to be a surprise..

There's enough changes from the book to make it a surprise for me too

Sadly, I could only stomach two episodes. I really wanted to like it but the entire show feels extremely forced.

Has anyone been watching the returned ch4,
I'm highly enjoying this and think we should get more foreign tv shows irrelevant where it's from,

Start watching game of thrones, why has it taking me so long to start watching this amazing show, all I can say is lord of the what??

Started watching EASTBOUND AND DOWN. Genius. Danny McBride plays probably one of the most loathsome characters on TV yet managed to somehow make me feel sorry for him. Tricky to do but the show pulls it off. Surprised so much hard drug use gets through as a 15.

I've been watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia recently. Up to about season 6 now. Can't believe what I've been missing! So funny and cynical with characters who are both hateable and loveable at the same time. Danny Devito is hilarious too

Finished first season of game of thrones absolutely fantastic great story and acting. That Joffrey is one evil little :censored:

What's the new album called?

The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, highly recommended

Lovely stuff, thanks Rik.

So, found seasons 6 and 7 of THE SHIELD in a charity shop at 2.99 each so I've started watching it from the beginning after a gap of many years. It holds up well. I'm just finishing off season 2 and will be heading straight on to season 3. THE WIRE set an almost impossible yardstick for US cop shows to measure up to but the shield does it well. Its not as bleak or cynical but its certainly great viewing and feels like a James ellroy piece at times. Vic Mackey certainly comes across like a character from one of his books and it presents the underbelly of LA really well.

WALTON GOGGINS steals a lot of the show when he's onscreen and subsequently he's become a real presence on quality US TV shows and some films as well (PREDATORS AND DJANGO UNCHAINED SPRING TO MIND)

I'll try and come back and post my final thoughts when i'm done but the shield is highly recommended viewing to newcomers and those who saw it the first time around as well.

Starting my 80s weekend with pilot of hardcastle and maccormick , followed with some

Airwolf
Automan
A team
Magnum
Greatest American hero
Street hawk
Tales of the golden monkey

I think the shield was as good as The Wire. The constant chaos the Strike Team have to deal with, where every attempt to cover up just opens another can of worms, is addictive viewing.

It certainly holds up to the wire, very rare to see a cop drama that can do that. I'm currently well into it (though took a break to check out goatman murders, dont judge) and loving it as much as I did the first time round!:nod:

finished the pilot of Americas greatest hero, really enjoyed it, for its day the special effects must of been very good. William kat is very good and likable in his role. just cant believe i had never seen it or even heard of it, until it was mentioned on these forums.

Sons of Anarchy is similar, well it has the same feel anyway, to The Shield. A lot of The Shields cast pop up in recurring roles as well.

up to season 5!

Been watching a hell of a lot of South Park recently.

"You like to fook over Asian ladies?!"

I have the first four series of Sons. Series five is out fairly soon. And series six airs in the Autumn Stateside.

Watching this what's not to like
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_VNsjjYRgjc

I tried sons of anarchy but it never involved me in the way the shield did and I gave up around the third season. I expect I have missed out but it just didn't have the compelling characters of the shield.

Last night I finished watching season one of The Sopranos.
Absolutely :censored: brilliant. So good I could watch it all again.
Now roll on season two :rockon:

Been watching the original Star Trek on Lovefilm

Is that the remastered version with new clients?

Damn auto correct! Cgi?

The Sopranos series two. Happy to report there is no
drop in quality. Excellent stuff :woot:

Yeah, doesn't look that bad really; although in saying that it would be better if they didn't have it.

Still into my SHIELD marathon.

Just about done with series 5.

When friends stop by however have been giving CLONE WARS cartoon a try. Actually pretty good, far superior to the prequels with some decent writing and animation.

Also snagged AMERICAN HORROR STORY on blu very cheaply as well. I know this one had divided some horror fans but I really liked the first few episodes i've seen and look forward to watching more.
