BruceH Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Rectify Impressive look at a man who spends half his life in a solitary cell on death row and who is released suddenly when dna evidence cast doubt on his guilt. Quite profound, slow paced character study was very impressive but requiring patience . The guy who plays the con, Aden Young gives a spot on memorable performance. Recommended. I caught the first episode and quite liked it. The entire show is only supposed to be six episodes. More like a British show, in that respect, than an American one. Quote
Blue Train Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 The Politician's Husband BBC It's a sequal to The Politician's Wife from 1995. I enjoyed it a lot more than Broadchurch. Quote

kinuta Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) The Politician's Husband BBC It's a sequal to The Politician's Wife from 1995. I enjoyed it a lot more than Broadchurch. The Politician's Wife was great, especially Juliet Stevenson. Broadchurch left me puzzled why it was so well received, it usually had me on the verge of nodding off. Just goes to show how excellent Scott & Bailey is- it runs rings round the lot. Edited May 2, 2013 by kinuta Quote
Matthew Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 Friends: Season 1. About once a year or so, I go on a Friends run. It's a nice harmless show, and it's an enjoyable way to pass the time. However, I have to say that David Schwimmer is virtually unwatchable in the first season. *Permission to laugh at me now* Quote
kinuta Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 The Americans season finale A stylish end to the season that grew on me as it went along. Hope it's renewed. Quote
T.D. Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) This could have gone either way, but I really liked it. Very funny! Edited May 3, 2013 by T.D. Quote
ejp626 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 Watched Community with the family. Not a bad episode overall.I PVR'ed The Big Bang Theory. I haven't really kept up with the show but enjoy it. Apparently, Bob Newhart comes on as a tv "science guy" like Mr. Wizard. His stage name was Professor Proton, and he was a childhood hero of Sheldon. So they hire him to come to a party, and of course he thinks it is a kids' party. Supposedly a bittersweet part, since Professor Proton always wanted to be taken seriously as a scientist but was just an entertainer. Sounds good anyway. Newhart said he took the gig only if it was a semi-recurring character, maybe 2 or 3 episodes a season. So we should get to see him come back. Can't wait. Quote
T.D. Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 The first half-season of Big Bang Theory spanned the last months of my having TV, and I took a shine to the show. Now I rent each season from Netflix a few months late. The Newhart episode is something to look forward to! Watched Community with the family. Not a bad episode overall. I PVR'ed The Big Bang Theory.

kinuta Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 Top Of The Lake - Jane Campion Brilliant and very much recommended. More proof that well handled tv can surpass a lot of the dross palmed off as film these days. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Hannibal episodes 4 & 5. Here episode 5 didn't run til last night. I gave up on this show after 4. It's just an excuse to show ever more ways to kill people. I don't care about the detectives or the killers. Even Gina Torres (Mrs. Fisbourne, and I really love Gina) couldn't save it for me. Quote
JSngry Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Last night's Elementary. Some episodes are better than others and none have been less than very good. Quote

Shawn Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 I didn't bother watching Hannibal, I was so burnt out on the character from all the films that I had zero interest in watching the show. I've already got plenty of serial killer stuff that I already watch, don't need anymore right now. Quote
Matthew Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 I've already got plenty of serial killer stuff that I already watch, don't need anymore right now. That has to be one of the stranger sentences ever written on this board... Quote
kinuta Posted May 9, 2013 Report Posted May 9, 2013 In Treatment season three, the Sunil episodes. Irrfan Khan is indeed an impressive actor. Quote
erwbol Posted May 9, 2013 Report Posted May 9, 2013 I'm about to watch Hannibal episode 7. Only Breaking Bad is likely to surpass Hannibal for me this year. Justified was also excellent. Quote
Matthew Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 Scrubs: Season 1. Yes, I'm going through the whole series AGAIN! Quote

kinuta Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 Elementary The idea seemed quite heretical and I didn't bother watching this for ages. I've started working my way through the first season and am pleased at how entertaining it is. Quote
