kinuta Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 The Newsroom Watched the first and second episodes. I found it rather manic and a bit too in y'r face. Keeping up with the rapid fire dialogue got very wearing. The scriptwriter needs one of Woody Allen's patented hockey puck size valiums.

Shawn Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 It's different, I'll give it that. Let's take every horror film cliche in history and combine them all into one TV show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 BBC The Hollow Crown Part 1 Richard the 2nd Brilliant. If only Shakespeare had been presented to us like this at school. Looking forward to Henry the 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The UK version. Highly entertaining show, the US version has its moments, but this version is much more substantial. Really enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 4 wasn't quite as good as the others but I'm glad I finally got to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Well, I think you liked it more than I did, I had some reservations, but was fun to see the new season start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Loved the flashforward prologue, and all the stuff with Mike. And Ted is alive? WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Scrubs. Season five. Still my all time favorite tv show, I never get tired of watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 The Closer Only a few episodes left. Very lightweight treading water episode with poor attempts at humour that didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Excellent, recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Small Town Security. Pretty low key "fake reality" comedy. Some funny bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 The 2nd & 3rd episodes of the new Wallander BBC series. The Dogs Of Riga & Before The Frost. I thought they were both well done and it was nice to see him actually smile at the end of Before The Frost. Not as good as the original ,Johanna Sällström and Krister Henriksson are unmatchable.

Shawn Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just finished Damages season 4. Really liked this season, fewer episodes slimmed down the plotline a bit but it maintained the punch. Goodman and Dylan Baker were both excellent. It also has my favorite final scene of the series so far, I practically jumped out of my seat and cheered! Season 5 is currently on air, glad this series is continuing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm glad as well. Wish they would put these out on Blu-ray as well as DVD, but if wishes were horses the streets would be covered in dung. Just finished watching Sunday's "Breaking Bad." Better than the season opening episode for me. I'm interested to see where this goes from here. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Entertaining "Syfy" series, kind of like Xmen with the "superhero trappings" removed. The always excellent David Strathairn makes a compelling leader, Ryan Cartwright (Bones) steals every scene he's in. The pilot episode was a little too laid back, but the series gains momentum quickly. Lots of cool genre actors show up in guest spots including Summer Glau (Firefly), Brent Spiner (TNG) and Rebecca Mader (Lost/Fringe).

kinuta Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Rewatched season 4 of Breaking Bad. Then I went through the commentaries on the last three episodes. Me too, it must be catching. Thought I'd watch a couple of episodes but ended up watching it all in two sittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I managed to miss the last two episodes of the first season, but I'm muddling through the new one somehow. Rewatched season 4 of Breaking Bad. Then I went through the commentaries on the last three episodes. Me too, it must be catching. Thought I'd watch a couple of episodes but ended up watching it all in two sittings. Season 4 was fantastic! They could have ended it there. Somehow I'm not as keen on this season. . . Walter is an ever-increasing asshole and it's not quite as good for me.

Shawn Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Just started watching Season One. Like the tone so far, kind of a "light" supernatural show (no monsters or vampires) with a refreshingly wry sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 The Two Escobars. The best of the 30 for 30 ESPN documentary series. Tells the story of Pablo Escobar, the Drug Lord, Andres Escobar, the Columbian soccer player, and how the drug money caused tragedy and death in its relationship with Columbian soccer. Powerful film, with a very interesting cast of characters, and acutely depressing, but very moving also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
