paul secor Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 Just watched She Done Him Wrong on TCM. I needed a refresher on Mae West's great lines and delivery. (I'm sure if I had said that to Ms. West she would have thanked me for the set up and would have had a snappy comeback.) Quote
kinuta Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 The Americans season finale. Never, ever confide in a teenage girl ! Quote
jazzbo Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, that was a good finale. Lots of balls up in the air! Now watching The Shield Season 5. Surprising how much I like that show. Quote
Shawn Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 Marvel's DareDevil Wow, didn't see this one coming. A dark and violent noir masquerading as a comic book superhero show. I thought the first two episodes were very good indeed and totally eclipse shows like the camp and unwatchable Gotham. Forget the silly superheroes who don't get their hair mussed, this is the real mcoy. Yes, it's an excellent series. Not just good for a superhero show, but one of the better dramatic series I've seen this year. The series is run by Drew Goddard (Cabin In The Woods, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, LOST, Cloverfield) and Steven S. DeKnight (Angel, Smallville, Dollhouse, Spartacus). Already renewed for season 2.

A Lark Ascending Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 Just started. What am I going to do when I get to the end of this in a couple of weeks! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) The 'Hitting the Fan' episode - wow! Some of the best TV I've seen in ages. The Alisha/Will confrontation was electric. "Question Time" with the three main UK party leaders. Rottweiler audience in Leeds! Might dislike everything two of them stand for but have to admire the way all three took it without crumbling (or denouncing the audience and BBC!!!). Edited May 2, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote

That place features in the Tubby Hayes book ! Quote
erwbol Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 Wayward Pines M. Night Shyamalan's piss-poor Twin Peaks substitute. Quote
kinuta Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Mad Men Season one With the final episode coming up I thought it was a good time to go back and slowly rewatch it from the beginning, something I've never done. I was surprised how much more I enjoyed it knowing how it develops. I'd call it richly rewarding tv. Quote
BruceH Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 The season finale of Better Call Saul. This show surprised me being different than I anticipated, and excellent. Yes, I was very pleased with it. I went in just hoping it wouldn't entirely suck, but was astounded by how good it was. The penultimate episode, "Pimento," is a masterpiece. I just wish that the seasons had more than 10 episodes. 13 would be good, 12 would be good, but 10 just doesn't seem like enough. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Series Finale for Mad Men. Interesting. Not what I expected, nothing wrong with that. Been watching this fluffy entertaining series on Blu-ray. Watched part of it on broadcast, but El Rey comes in with a crappy standard def pic on my cable, and the series looks so much better on disc. This is one of the few vampire/horror story lines I've ever really liked, and the series fleshes it out in watchable ways for me. Plus. . . there's Eisa Gonzalez. Season Two to start later this year.

Brad Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Dragon Tattoo Trilogy. Just finished watching the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Quote
Shawn Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 The Flash (CW). I like it, old-school, "gee-whiz" style superhero show that brings back memories of Saturday Morning cartoons in the 1970s. Daredevil was finally the "superhero as an adult TV show" series and we needed that badly...but I think we also need just a pure, fun, pop confection like The Flash to balance out the spectrum, fun and frothy and not concerned with taking itself seriously. Community (Yahoo! Screen). Paintball episode last night, another good one. I'm glad we got this season, I doubt seriously there will be another because it's going to be too hard to keep these actors under contract (they only signed for a single season), so I'm enjoying what will likely be the final appearances of the Greendale gang. iZombie (CW) - Took a few episodes to get the tone right, but now it's clicking nicely in the "what if Veronica Mars existed in the Buffy universe?" mold. Lead actress Rose McIver is very appealing. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Finishing up NBC's "Allegiance" on Demand. Not a great show, but fun in its way. And I could watch Margarita Levieva all day long. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Watched Game of Thrones, Season 3. Whoa. Watching Nash Bridges Season 3. I can't help it, I like Nash Bridges. . . just a fun show. Cheech and Jeff Perry and in this season Kelly Hu. . . fun characters and a few good actors. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Finished Series 5 of 'The Good Wife' last week. Excellent series all round though how you'd live with so many twists inyour life I don't know. And do take-overs happen that frequently? I know, it's fiction. Very enjoyable. Just started 'House of Cards' (the Andorran version). Saw the original back in 1990 and was a bit sceptical of another rewrite. But this is proving to be excellent. I'm not up on the intricacies of how steering and lobbying happens in US government so it takes some following in places; but it has me gripped. Edited June 7, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote
erwbol Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Game of Thrones Stannis burns his only child at the stake, and we end with a battle involving a CGI dragon. What a show, but since I download this through bittorrent, who am I to complain. Quote
Matthew Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 The American Experience on Mark Twain, which I thought was excellent. Quote
