It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, amazing. Love Danny Devito

Anybody watching Hunted on C4? A docu/drama seeing whether normal people can go on the run and avoid being captured by the hunters who have everything the police would have at their disposal.

 

[Hank]

Yeah just about to watch the second episode. Got me thinking how I would do it myself.

 

[daviejones]

I'm quite baffled at just how idiotic the majority of contestants have been so far. Those two girls deserve to be caught soon, the two Indian guys were even worse than them using that phone and the two women who managed only 1 day should never have even been allowed on TV. So far the doctor on his own is the only one making a respectable effort, I can even let him off for his one phone call seeing as it was his daughter's birthday. Can tell the investigators are actually pretty pissed off with him at this stage, not really difficult to evade them by the looks of it but most of them have just made stupid, obvious mistakes - mainly based around calling home.

 

[Hank]

Yeah the two women were away before the blonde started calling home. At first thought the two Indian guys would do well, calling home and using friends and family was never going to work though.

One of my top shows.

I've given up with Grimm after 5 episodes mainly because it's shite,you could call it it grim, sorry i just got back from my local

 

[Anaconda]

I know that it has only just started but I think that "Fear The Walking Dead" is better than the original "Walking Dead" series

 

[mowgli]

Watched the first episode of Midwinter Of The Spirit on ITV last night and was very disappointed. I've read all the Merily Watkins books by Phil Rickman which this series is based on which are a fantastic read. The daughter is a punk in the books but ITV have changed that and the actress who plays Merrily is hopelessly miscast so doubt i'll bother with the other 2 episodes.

started to watch Heroes, I've always heard about it but it's one of them shows that slipped under the radar

currently on episode 7 or 8 in season 1, I love it!

Hayden Panetierre!!!! although slightly worrying she was only 17 at the time of filming season 1

 

[mnb089mnb]

Old episodes of Doctor Who where Sophie Aldred whacks the shit out of a dalek with a baseball bat.

Do yourself a favour and stop after the first season, you'll only be disappointed otherwise.

Series 2 was utter crap, i gave up after a couple of episodes but the first series was one of the best things i'd seen on tv for ages.

 

[Pagnell]

Yeah, Heroes started so well but started going downhill around the middle of the first series. I struggled to last until the end of it. I managed about 3 episodes of series 2 before giving up.

Still, at least it's better than that bag of shite Lost.

 

[HarvSFC]

And with all that said the first hour and a half of Heroes Reborn wasn't great.

 

[Oaf]

Still, at least it's better than that bag of shite Lost.

 

[Magic]

Currently watching Impractical Jokers, in hysterics right now.

Relative newcomer to this but it's so good

Also been listening to podcasts recently that the guys have done which can be pretty funny too. On the show I always liked Murr best but I think Sal has taken over now having listened to the podcasts. They're all good though and I think the reactions and the fact they have some humility makes it so much better than just shameless pranking etc.

 

[Nilsson]

A great start to The Leftovers season 2. I went into it not sure I'd finish it after not being fully convinced by season 1 but this was far more focused and confident than anything season 1 had to offer. Hopefully it keeps it up.

 

[mowgli]

3 episodes in of Bosch an American cop series, not sure if i like it yet.

 

[mowgli]

Coppers series 2. Dull so far and nowhere as good as the first series.

 

[RavenBish]

Watched that Doctor Foster. He was a bit of a scumbag the husband bloke but I don't blame him at all, that Kate lass was lovely.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Anyone else been watching Music For Misfits: The Story of Indie on BBC Four? Really good, I'd recommend it to anyone who's into that sort of music.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Started watching Luther on Netflix. Seems alright so far (2 episodes in).

 

[Captain Scumbag]

About a 10 episodes into the first series of Gotham and rapidly losing patience. Too many characters. Too many subplots. Some things too drawn out. Most things horribly rushed. The procedural stuff is lazy, repetitive and cliché-ridden (even by procedural standards). The over-dependence on info-dumpy expositional dialogue is ridiculous. Tonally and aesthetically, it's all over the place (gritty urban noir à la Nolan one minute, campy comedy à la Schumacher the next). There are a couple of excellent performances (Taylor's Penguin being the best) but the others are either so offensively dull or embarrassingly OTT that the excellent performances seem out of place, which just adds to the overall feeling of unevenness that permeates the whole thing. A complete fucking muddle, frankly.

For any fans (or even just folk who got the whole way through): does this show ever find its grove? Another 12 episodes seems a lot to watch, especially with the 2nd series of Fargo and Les Revenants on the horizon.

 

[Oaf]

Even as a hardcore Batman fan, I've not found myself drawn into the idea of watching Gotham, and it's mostly reading comments like yours that are keeping me from doing so. I've heard few good things about the show and a fair bit of bad.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

For any fans (or even just folk who got the whole way through): does this show ever find its grove?

No, it remains an abysmal, unwitting Bugsy Malone tribute.

 

[RavenBish]

Quantico is quite good as far as 'HIT NEW DRAMAS ON CBS/ABC/NBC' go. It's like Homeland with a much fitter and less annoying female lead.

 

[SALTIRE]

Watched an excellent scientific documentary on BBC4 about the many properties of ice tonight. Worth a watch for those interested.

 

[mowgli]

Started watching Luther on Netflix. Seems alright so far (2 episodes in).

Class show with series 2 the best for me.
