Yes I kind off found series 3 was like you said bit daft silly and OTT but as it got towards ending series 3 and into series 4 it picked up again with just the odd OTT and irritating episode ,
But I think there was some great episodes and one liners , like when randy said
The carnival has got the worlds smallest giant like last year they had the world's tallest dwarf, genius
Or when Earl said to crabman its times like these I'm just glad you took joy off me
Randy replies I'm glad everyday ,, just think there was some great humour in it .

But I also found where crabman was on the witness protection story stupid as well.

Yeah the whole witness protection thing was the dumbest thing ever, where we find out the true story of why he's in witness protection and his father comes back and everything. Ugh!

Also don't know if this was just me , but when joy went into her talking fast mode and rambling on at times I actually struggled to understand what she was saying,..did you ? Or was that just me ?

I can't actually think off the top of my head haha.

The Walking Dead, The Following and The Sopranos. Great TV basically :)

To anyone interested. The Mill Creek set of season one and two of Bewitched looks quite lovely.

I was worried about compression issues cramming 70 odd episodes onto 6 discs but it's not a problem.

The discs sport the official Sony tv logo when you play them at first so they must be straight ports.

I'll definitely order the Starsky and Hutch, TJ Hooker and Charlies Angels sets now as they are all under a fiver delivered.

With getting breaking bad boxset started watching it again. Really is on of the best shows made in a long long time. Mind I have to restrain myself from smashing my fist threw the tv every time Skyler appears. God what a nasty :censored: selfish bitch.

I hated that woman with a passion for the first two or three series but it's a testament to the quality of the writing that by the end I felt quite sympathetic for her and there are moments where I despised Walt.
Absolutely brilliant show, quite possibly my favourite tv show ever.
I've started watching the first series of American Horror Story, not bad but I'm entirely convinced yet.

Horror story gets better as it goes on. Agree was times I felt sorry for her but most of the time she was a bitch. Will have to get around to watching next two seasons of American horror story as i really enjoyed the first season

I'm only a few episodes into it and it is good. Just depends how it develops I suppose. I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm hooked yet.

Breaking bad

Definitely one of the best series every made. Fascinating to watch the character of Walter change from a likeable person into what has to be what is one of the most evil characters in television history. All thanks to the fantastic acting of Brian Cranston. We also hav skyler who starts off as a bitch but I found my self a lot more sympathetic towards her as the show went on. Truly a classic that will be remembered for years to come.

What breaking bad character are you. I got Walt so god knows what that says about me!

I did the quiz some time ago and think I was Jesse. Coincidentally, I did another one on who I should go out drinking with, and that was Jesse as well!

I recently watched the first series of Desperate Housewives, which I had avoided because of one reason or another (I can't remember exactly why), but really enjoyed it and thought it was brilliant TV. Because it was also on Lovefilm instant watch, I gave the first season of Ugly Betty a watch and didn't think much of it – I couldn't relate to any of the characters, circumstances or situations, and only stuck it out to the end of the season because I didn't want to give up!

I'm currently watching the second season of House of Cards, which is one of the finest television dramas of recent years.

Been loving the recent reruns of Columbo on ITV3 and CH5 just now, and a recent Graham Norton Show with Bill Murray and Matt Damon was a joy to watch, and out of left field... Longmire has turned out rather good too, but stuff like Top Gear has dropped to such a degree it seems pointless. (used to really like the camaraderie between the three but now it seems stiff and forced, shame)

Just finished season one of FRINGE and have started the second one. Really enjoying it and it makes a nice change from all the porn and martial arts films I've been watching of late!

Just started watching house of cards on netflix. Really enjoying it mainly thanks to Kevin spacey performance. Only watch a few episodes but it's some of the best tv since breaking bad. Anyone who haven't watched it, I would say give it a chance you won't be disappointed. Quality television at its best.

I'm currently working my way through season 5 of CSI.

Although good there isn't much of an ongoing arc to make you desperate to see the next episode. Still i'm sure the two part Tarantino directed finale will be good. :pray:

I've just finished watching the penultimate episode of season 2 (it's a bit late to start watching the hour-long finale) and, like you say, it's brilliant. If you haven't seen the BBC miniseries (and To Play the King and The Final Cut), it is compulsory viewing.

Please tell me you're all watching True Detective! This is something really special, think an 8 hour movie masterpiece rather than a TV show. Where to start with this? How about McConnaghey and Harrelson? You won't see two better screwed up cops - Matthew McC in particular is stunning. The music is spot on - Wu Tang Clan, Grinderman and The Melvin's in Ep 4 alone. It's creepy, really creepy - who or what s The Yellow King?- don't ask me, haven't finished it yet - I refuse to binge on something so rich. Action? Last 20 mins of Ep 4 (I loved Ep 4, can you tell?) rivals Children of Men as the most amazing non stop one shot scene ever filmed. The locales and cinematography are dazzling, the settings aren't what you'd call pretty but are filmed like oil paintings. I could ramble for pages - just don't miss this show. Hannibals pretty amazing too. We are truly spoiled just now.

Me and the other half watched, and really enjoyed the first episode, but turned off the second after about half an hour due to boredom. I've told her we need to give it another try because I'm hearing nothing but outstanding praise for it, so we're gonna try again this weekend :nod:

Unfortunately Sky Atlantic isn't on the Virgin Media package, so I can't. I'll have to wait until it's released on Blu-ray.

Saw the two part CSI season five finale Grave Danger last night. Superb stuff, well written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Probably his most gripping piece of film making to date.

Trust me the momentum picks up pretty sharpish - you won't be bored for long. Having said that even in the slow stretches I find myself transfixed by something or other, must be some weird Bayou hypnosis.

Or you could always get Nowtv on your PS3 (if you have one) for 4.99 a month and watch it on that :-)

I'll look into that – thanks.

No probs mate, just doing the same myself tbh. Primarily for Modern Family mind ;)

Does anybody rate the Hannibal series? I like Thomas Harris and even had space for Hannibal Rising in my collection but im still unsure about the Hannibal TV Show. I have made it to episode 2 again in the last week or so but tend to get side tracked by other programs then i go back to the beginning. I guess i see Hannibal as Hopkins and always struggled with Bran Cox's version of Lecter too, that might be my problem? It would be great to hear what you guys thought of it if you have managed to watch a few episodes.

Still also enjoying the Walking Dead but that's for another thread. :)

I think I lasted until either the 4th or 5th episode before I lost interest. I do intend on picking up the boxset when I find it cheap and giving it another shot, but I'm in no great rush tbh.

As for TWD, still my favourite show at the minute :nod:

TWD is brilliant Rik, I really want to know what Terminus will be like.

Yeah, me too :nod:

I managed to get to about episode 6 or 7 I think before I gave up. Just didn't come together for me I'm afraid. Will Graham was weirder than necessary and Mads Mickelson whilst I've liked him in other things had absolute zero charisma in the title role.

Started on Hannibal. It's very enjoyable thus far.

Finished Series 3 of Game of Thrones Monday night. Been the best series so far but I do find the seperate storylines and sheer amount of characters hard to keep track of.

Try reading the books cough....;)

Just finished season 4 of FRINGE, which shifts from weird into bat shit crazy for the last couple of episodes. Excellent stuff.

I have been. Well managed the first one anyway. I wish I'd done that first because the book is better than the show.

The Walking Dead, The Following and True Detective. All make for a great viewing experience IMO.

The Bigfoot doc on BBC4 last night. Worth a look cough. Not a patch on TLOBC but still...................;)

My girlfriend and I had a huge binge watch on ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK exclusive to Netflix all in 1 day.

We both really enjoyed it and can't wait until season 2 on June 6th. I liked the way each episode showed how each character got arrested. The finale was some of the best I'd seen. The only downside was the character of Jason Biggs, he was the weakest part of the show and was a right knob.

:popcorn:


I am now watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and I'm going to start season 4 tomorrow

FROM DUSK TIL DAWN. I watched the first episode of this Netflix tv series based on the film...odd. It's the film stretched out, so the first episode was the scene in the gas station minus the bad language and sexual stuff from the Richie character who is now more psychic than schizophrenic. Don "the nonce" Johnson was rather good in it as an aged sheriff. A new episode is being released each week but I don't think I'll be bothering with it.

Just started the final series of FRINGE which gets madder with each episode.

As much as I like to wind up The Walking Dead fans on facebook (oh, they hate that! lol), my cousin kept telling me things that were happening, so I decided to start watching, just to avoid being told everything. Let's just say that I'm ready for the season 4 finale at the weekend. Yup, this madmam has actually watched 51 episodes of TWD.....in 6 days! The perks (if you can call it that) of being a single guy! Bloody great tv it is too!
