The Fall on Netflix (originally shown by by BBC this spring) with Gillian Anderson.
Irish detectives vs serial killer
Excellent. Highly recommended.
I started a thread about it, but no one seems to be watching it.
Orphan Black. About a chick that sees someone that looks just like her, kill herself at the train station. She assumes the girl's identity, finds out the chick was a cop, finds out they are all clones, finds out one of them is a psycho killer, and finds out they are being watched, and tested on in the middle of the night. That's about as far as I have gotten. The lead girl is pretty hot, and she like to get naked a bit. On BBC America. Watching On Demand at this point.
It's quite well done, but so far, unsatisfying. wait until Season 2 to bother.Quote:

Rectify is great but has stalled at episode 6 :(
Just finished Episode 1 of Ray Donovan.
Excellent start to the series.
Ray Donovan goes from strength to strength.
Season 2 of The Newsroom started yesterday.
Ya don't have any good porn here.
Saw the opening episode of The Bridge (FX): Monk for intelligent adults. So far, very good.
The Killing Season 3 is on time. That show has some of the best acting I've seen on TV in a long time.
Helps that they toned down the rain and sped up the pace; Peter Sarsgaard is spectacular as Ray.
Random: Wheeler Dealers Trading Up. A car-nerd's version of "self-supported" travel
Liked the opening episode of A low Winter Sun - very dense and complex - we'll have to work for it.
Watched "Orange is the new Black" from the folks that did "Weeds". Give it a B to B-.
from the foreign rolls:
Peaky Blinders - some quality actors, quality sets, hit/miss script, overproduced soundtrack. The UK people bitch about the accents.
Unsure of what to make of it:
Serangoon Road - Aussie drama. Like many oz things, good on many points, but more than just a bit off.
Breaking Bad is wonderful. And I think it has been popular with many countries, like China.
Is it true that you cherry12 - parcticipated in great gangbang of 习近平 while practicing 法轮功
That episode that took place entirely at the prison is some of the most intense screen-time (show or movie) I've ever seen. The wife and I had to watch a couple episodes of 30 rock after that one just to get our balance back.Quote:

Features scandalized, burnt out city detective put out to pasture in resort town; his arrival bumps competent but less experienced local cop down the promotion ladder. Having snagged the local's job, the two detective's working relationship/dialogue is rather thorny. Huge ratings smash in UK; Fox Network plans to remake/ruin it into a full blown cop show, see the original.
With all the renewed focus on Sherlock Holmes remakes, I'd recommend anyone who likes that stuff should dig up the Granada TV productions series starring Jeremy Brett. Produced in the 80's and early 90's, some of you may have seen it on PBS 20 years ago but it's so old its probably new to many of you. Noone else did Holmes so faithfully to Doyle's original material as did Jeremy Brett and the Granada production company and the new interpretations kinda suck in comparson to Brett. He really captures the dark humor in how Holmes floats between a self-confidence bordering upon egomania interspersed with periods of drugs, chain smoking, lethargy and extreme cynicism. They got through most of the stories before Brett's failing health ended the production.
I enjoyed The Killing's first season, but it completely lost me in the second season. Is the third worth coming back to?Quote:

any good stuff around netflix? I've just gone through prison break for the second time and looking for some new old stuff!
what have you been up to?
Suits. Unless been mentioned already.
Luther and The Fall are pretty good crime dramas. Not nearly as good as Sherlock though.
MI5 is a pretty decent series about spooks.
All British dramas. Its possible the accents make the shows seem smarter than they really are.
Longmire is kinda fun.

watched the fall and it's different to say the least, I liked it!
longmire, are they back to netflix?
started white collar, but kinda mellow, will see!
Man, The Bridge?? That thing lingered on my DVR for ages...I just couldn't make myself care! I did end up finishing it. I found it to be way too far fetched for a crime drama.Quote:

So cringe-worthy in such a good way. I love it when your so embarrassed for a character you contemplate changing the channel but can never actually do it as someone digs themselves a bigger hole (Much like the current East Coast Mt Adams hero thread that is all the rage right now in Ski/Snowboard). This show has many of those same moments...Quote:

I'm about to start Boardwalk Empire's first episode.
Hoping this is good, but most HBO stuff has been that I've seen.
I keep reimaging Boardwalk Empire set in mid-70s Panama City Beach, Florida, telling the story of the Airbrush t-shirt kings. The sweet smell of Cannabis, Budweiser, Farrah Fawcett hair, sunburnt ass. Dazed and confused on spring break. It'd be awesome.
Boredwalk Empire, as is, is ok. Better than many things, but just something missing that grates.
Durham County
Cult
Rectify
Rake
The Returned
Rita
Bates Motel
Endeavour (Inspector Morse prequel)
Top of the Lake
Ok, I actually switched it up to Homeland, and am now on the first season premiere. This has been pretty entertaining so far. I would recommend to people that haven't seen it.
First and second seasons are good. Third season wanders around but finally pays off in an epic bloodblath. Fourth season was mostly mediocre. There was a promise that Scorcese would have an active role in the show but it sure doesn't seem like he was involved past the pilot episode, not even as a consultant. The writing gradually gets really unfocused and characters hang around with nothing to do. Principal characters start out interesting and then slowly become painfully dull and full of dumb decisions...So the sad thing is the show starts out as good as it ever gets and slowly loses steam. Sort of like Deadwood. Quit it at the end of the third season and you'll avoid the Boredwalk.Quote:
