erwbol Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Getting caught up on Fargo (FX series). Really enjoying it. Lester's brother better call Saul. I thought Freeman's Lester was somewhat unappealing and unconvincing until his transformation into a 'predator' really started to get underway in episode six. Bob Odenkirk's Bill Oswalt felt like Bob Odenkirk dressed up as a police officer until last night he became a part of it all. And Collin Hanks should have never worked again as an actor based on his work in Dexter season 6, but is doing alright in this particularly limited role fit for a man with a limited amount of facial expressions at his disposal.

A Lark Ascending Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) All very dark and eerie (Peaky Blinders without the attitude or alternative rock). Apparently lots of complaints about the sound - suspect it's the Irish accents; a recent drama set in Cornwall got a similar reaction. Must be the same buggers who voted UKIP last Thursday whining.

erwbol Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) In The Flesh (BBC). The death returned but now they're cured. British zombies, also hard to understand, but perhaps the rotters's vocal cords aren't what they used to be. Or could all British be PDS suffering rotters? Edited May 29, 2014 by erwbol Quote
JSngry Posted June 1, 2014 Report Posted June 1, 2014 http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi2987787033 Somebody, please, watch this to conclusion. I'm still not sure it really happened. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Watched the first series a few weeks back and it was brilliant. This second is even more gripping. 5 down with the grand finale tomorrow. Quote
kinuta Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Happy Valley BBC 1 - 6 Superb, one of the best British crime thrillers I've ever seen. I think I've seen every major BBC and ITV cop thriller going back to Cracker, Morse and beyond, but I can't think of another that bowled me over so completely as Happy Valley. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 I assumed it would be something fluffy with Sarah Lancashire involved. Checked reviews and I'm intrigued. Have put on my rent-a-DVD list for when it comes out. Merci. Quote

jazzbo Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 That was a nice 'ride.' I'm watching Entourage, Season 5 Quote
duaneiac Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I needed a little inspirational boost from the life lessons of Jerri Blank, so I've been re-watching Season 1 of Strangers With Candy.

erwbol Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Breaking Bad marathon. Season one, now. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Last night's episode of Longmire. My DVR messed up (I think power went out). . . I have to wait til the weekend or so. Great show! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Wallander The 6 part final series. Pretty harrowing as the hero is gradually overtaken by Alzheimer's. The first episode is based round the final book, the other episodes seem newly written though I suspect the last episode (which hasn't been broadcast yet) will pick back up on the book. Also: Wasn't sure about this at first but it drew me in. Pretty bleak. Also started watching 'Happy Valley' but the series disappeared from the replayer the day after I saw episode 1. Have that on my rental list now. Looked pretty grim up North. Edited June 16, 2014 by A Lark Ascending Quote
jazzbo Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Final season of Entourage. Jeremy Piven is such great fun to watch. Quote
erwbol Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Edited June 19, 2014 by erwbol Quote
jazzbo Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) It was a doozy. Going to miss this one. . . maybe we'll have another storyline next year, one can hope. Started watching "Logan's Run" the tv series. 'Seventies cheezy fun. Edited June 19, 2014 by jazzbo Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 Up to episode 6/7. It was slow to start but has me well gripped. Not easy to follow - there are a lot of threads unravelling and criss-crossing simultaneously and it's hard to know where the essential story line is. Which makes it intriguing. Hard to know who the real bad guys are. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 Happy Valley BBC 1 - 6 Superb, one of the best British crime thrillers I've ever seen. I think I've seen every major BBC and ITV cop thriller going back to Cracker, Morse and beyond, but I can't think of another that bowled me over so completely as Happy Valley. Thanks, Kinuta, for the rec here. Just finished episode 5 tonight. Superb. Interesting to see a series where all the strong characters are women. Sarah Lancashire is superb in the main role. Quote
