kinuta Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Well, sometimes I have doubts about my critical faculties. The Killing 2 had been hailed from all sides as superb, the best thing since Mother's Pride and essential television but has left me seriously underwhelmed so far. It's been a struggle to maintain interest in the meandering goings on. Quote
kinuta Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Endeavour I wasn't expecting much but was impressed by it's convincing portrayal of the young Morse. Very well done. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Just arrived in the Saturday night Scandinavian slot. Political drama - very impressive. Rumour has it that the BBC is now cancelling all future domestic productions, returning all the US stuff and allowing the Danes to take over the airwaves. Completing what they left off from in the early 11thC. Quote
kinuta Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Sherlock - The Hounds Of Baskerville. Very entertaining! Quote
jazzbo Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Just got turned on to this and watched the first episode from last season on Netflix. Very funny. I've seen all of Portlandia now, it has its moments but I'm not that crazy about it. Quote
Dave James Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Looks like the 5th season of Mad Men will begin on March 25th. Quote
BruceH Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Looks like the 5th season of Mad Men will begin on March 25th. I hope they somehow bring Coop back. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Watching the third season of LOST. As Shawn has said, once you know about The Man In Black there's a whole 'nother dimension of things to the viewing. Love this show. Man it looks great on Blu-ray. Quote
kinuta Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Sherlock part 3. That's going to take some explaining ! Alcatraz 1 & 2 Ho hum,this is supposed to be a mid season quicky filler. Didn't Prison Break start out that way ? Anyhow it was pretty entertaining with time travel elements and what not to keep us amused. Spot Hurley ? Quote
jazzbo Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 I really really wanted to like Alcatraz. . . it's okay and my two tv pals (we get together once or twice a week to watch some shows) and I will probably watch a while. I was disappointed though, not very "gripping" and not as entertaining as I'd hoped. Quote
Shawn Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Did you guys notice the opening chase sequence from Alcatraz (across the rooftops) was basically a direct lift from Hitchcock's Vertigo? The show was enjoyable enough, I was hoping for more, but it was good enough for me to keep watching. Quote
mikelz777 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 I thought the first hour was disappointing. The second hour was better and left me wanting more with the little twist at the very end. I'm with the rest of the posters here, I'll watch it for a while to see what comes of it. It's OK but so far, not as good as I had hoped. Quote

jazzbo Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 On to Season 4. Much better than Alcatraz. Quote

It's enough to give you conceptual vertigo. Quote
mikelz777 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Daughter: Dad, have you ever heard of "Firefly"? Me: Heard of it? I own it! Daughter: Would you be interested in watching it again some time? Currently enjoying Firefly with my daughter. Quote

Daughter: Would you be interested in watching it again some time? Currently enjoying Firefly with my daughter. Awesome! It's always nice to revisit a good show with someone that hasn't seen it. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 A great show. I watched the entire series again about six weeks ago. Quote
mikelz777 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Yeah, it's pretty cool. My daughter has also shown interest in Star Trek - The Original Series so I'm excited by that as well. She appreciates the cheesiness and gets a kick out of it.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Curb Your Enthusiasm (season 6) I saw Richard Lewis here a couple of months ago and his routine was a flippin' riot! Whacked Out Central, that guy is! Quote

kinuta Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) The Firm Eps 1-4 All right if you've got nothing better to watch. 　 Edited January 21, 2012 by kinuta Quote
jazzbo Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 It's not bad until it tries to be "intense" and then it becomes unintentionally funny. Juliette Lewis on tv though, I'm still surprised. Quote
