The TV Shows Thread

[parksey]

do we have many game of thrones fans on here?

season 4 was pretty great. it's hard to see where things will go from here with so many seemingly key characters being killed off.

[Imyourhero]

Just started watching last night as I can't stand having to wait between episodes, really wish I'd read the books before I'd seen this series as it would have been great to follow the world in depth however watching the show is great at the same time as you just can't guess what will come next. The George R.R. Martin parodies on the interwebs are hilarious too.

[Premy]

I wanted to watch it last night but it was taking forever to download, will be the first thing I do when I get home.

[furns]

am a fan, but I have had to wait for the seasons to come onto SoHo as I dont feel like forking out the extra $30 a month for bloody Showtime. And this laptop is too shit to download and stream HD content.

[Bon]

Yeah I have just finished watching the latest season..
One of those shows that I didnt start watching until about a year ago, kept avoiding it cause of all the wankery that accompanied the show (as in all the pricks non stop talking about how great it is, spoilers, etc etc)
Pretty amazing show, definitely need to read the books..

[Rocknerd]

The Show is deviating away from the books quite a lot now. the main outline is still there but they're changing a lot of the story to suit their own ends. I got sick of it and stopped watch around season 3 ep 4.

I think by reading the books I wanted a direct copy of what was written and they've just not felt obliged to do as I want (****ers). I think you'll enjoy it more by not having read the books first otherwise you'll be sitting where I am going Where the **** is that character, or why did they cut out that, why is that character even talking to that character.

Just got Arrow season 1 though, interested to see if it's any good. there's a lot of hype around it and talk of integrating it with the Justice League Movie (2017?) or at least mention of Green Arrow in BVS:ROJ but wouldn't be surprised if he made a cameo with Batman, Superman, Aquaman and Wonder Woman already cast.

Fargo is still the best show on at the moment.

[furns]

Interesting that GoT seems to have gone the opposite way to The Walking Dead, which took an entire season to bring itself back inline with the comics storylines.

[Premy]

Arrow is awesome I'm up to date with it and I'm fairly confident it will integrate with the Justice League movie. It starts off slow but it's worth the wait.

I'm looking forward to the new Flash starting.

[Jeterpool]

I gave up after season 1 of Arrow. I found the acting difficult to believe.

May have spoilers but if you havent watched you wouldnt know what im talking about anyway.
I got dragged kicking and screaming into it
(im not a fan of movies/tv set in the forest with magic and shit).
gotta say though, its pretty darn good. thought the season finale was pretty cramped though. got through a heap of storylines in such a short space of time.
things i like:
Hound
Big chick who punched on with hound
the alcho queen chick
giants
moon door

things i dont like:
the dude with no penis
the dude who cut the dudes penis off
dragon lady (clothed)
the cripple kid
the shady bloke (littlefinger?) who was the mayor in the wire and in the batman movie. terrible actor, drives me insane. possible pedophile though (but i think thats what they all did back in the day).


will watch the next season for sure

You say this as if it's a redeeming quality.

I think he's brilliant. Some of his key powerplay moments have been the best of the show (think back to towards the end of season 1).

Yeah yeah, character is good, slimey bastard.
Plus you gotta admit the oldest Stark daughter looked pretty hot last time we saw her (boobs!!!).
Just think he's a bad actor. As mentioned, I'm scarred from his performance in The Wire.

[parksey]

i'm not sure what's going on with his accent in the show.

[Rocknerd]

Started watching Arrow, quite good, the action sequences are good, the slow build to the back story (what happened on the Island) is annoying, but hoping for a full run down soon.
They have the soap to action mash up down pat to keep both the male and female viewers interested. There is still a little campness to it though with how some of the events are unfolding and some serious storyline issues in regards to character relatability but over all a show I'm willing to stick with after 3 episodes.

Shows that didn't make the mark:
Prison Break
Blacklist
Revenge


I'd put Game of thrones on their but I persisted into season 2 before giving up.

Arrow real is awesome the Island back story takes time but it really needs to without going to much into it for spoiler sack much of the current links to the Island.
As I've said before it starts of slow but really does get interesting and addictive. Also helps if you're a comic nerd like me.

Yeah, massive comic Nerd, really digging most of the newly rebooted DC stuff too. recently picked up Frank Millers Batman Origins, Earth One Superman Year One, and the parallel Red Son (what if Superman landed in Communist Russia?)

I'm up to ep 8 I think, and I've found it to be quite entertaining all over, even my wife seems to some what like it even though she likes to take the piss more often than not. I've looked around and got a bit of Spoiler info on it as like all Comic Nerds it's the Anti Heroes we love and Deathstroke is one of the best. Can't wait to get into Season 2 for that and the back story of the Island with Deathstroke complete.

Just Downloaded the first ep for Flash, absolutely awesome done very much the same as Arrow. I would suggest to get at least half way through Arrow season 2 before you start watching Flash.
Can't wait for Batman V Superman movie :yay:

[the blue manc]

I might be late on this but just finished watch True Detectives. Truly addictive to watch. And also just finished watching Ray Donovan. Great show, can't wait for the new season to start this month.

[Jeterpool]

Anyone watch Falling Skies? New season has commenced. Not sure where it's going to go - the story has split up completely. Or so it seems.

[Imyourhero]

I tried to get into falling skies but it just felt a little corny.

[Jeterpool]

I tried to get into falling skies but it just felt a little corny.

I didn't really enjoy the first episode of S4. Hope it improves.

[Imyourhero]

New series started today called The Leftovers about 2% of the worlds population dissappearing without any explanation. Anybody had a chance to watch yet?

[Rocknerd]

I didn't really enjoy the first episode of S4. Hope it improves.

I quite like Falling Skies, Season 1 was pretty hard to get into with its America the great ideals, season 2 was solid and season 3 kept the momentum going. Season 4 just seems a bit odd, there was too much crammed into the first ep setting up the different plot lines, with the Joy division, peaceful plaza, prison camp and Resistance, not to mention the fact that the Volm apparently abandoned the war on Earth and now Cocheez is back but also apparently a prisoner to the espengee doing their bidding I just think that a longer season order and this ep split into 2-4 eps to allow for a more natural feel to the storyline. The Special effects are still hands down the best in any show going at the moment though.
Those Mechs are awesome.

[la bazzle]

And also just finished watching Ray Donovan. Great show, can't wait for the new season to start this month.

Great show, such a hard khunt

[la bazzle]

Need a series for night shift, running very low, started trying some newer ones and theyre not looking like I'll get further then 2 episodes max (leftovers and the strain)

[GazFish35]

We watched the first ep of "orange is the new black" seems like it might be okay.

Things that I'm have dug recently: Fargo, best show I've seen in a long time, Arrow, a little bit soap opera-ish but great action and a cool take on a little known DC superhero. Like Batman but more vengeance than symbol, Always Community, Fringe is the bomb for Sci-Fi TV 100 Eps of awesomeness, Ray Donovan is pretty well spoken about.

As for Orange is the New Black, I personally think it sucks but if you liked all of Weeds you'll like it. I think it is some absolutely wasted effort and the writing is just clichés and regurgitated drivel best left to a bygone era. Oz is the only Prison Drama worth a damn.

Watched Fargo enjoyed. Got over Arrow, same thing every week. Ray Donovan superb. It's hard once you've seen good ones the shit ones (mostly ones you'll see on say FOX8 and shit) are even shitter and almost unwatchable. Not much of a sci-fi man when it comes to TV series. I've had to go and watch some older series lately like deadwood (great show but worst ending in the history of TV). Watching shows that I'm seasons behind on is great so I can binge them on night shift.

[la bazzle]

What type of show are you looking for?

Good question, I don't really know but shows I have liked are ones like walking dead, sopranos, the wire, GOT, SOA, ray donovan, fargo, hell on wheels, deadwood etc etc. I don't mind comedies but when you watch them for 8hrs you sort of get over it.

Judging from the shows you previously like give Banshee a watch I think you'll enjoy it.

I've heard suits is good.

Well as for great writing Freaks and Geeks is excellent, Set in 1980 middle America, the life issues of American teens staring the future of American Comedy in Seth Rogen, Jason Segal and James Franco.

I've been hankering for a little Californication lately (though I'm reading Charles Bukowski who Hank Moody is clearly modelled on) and I only watched about 4-6 eps of each season, but found each to be well written and self deprecating in a good way.

One of my favourite shows is Psych, it's about a guy with well trained skills of observation and an endemic memory who sets up a fake Psychic Detective agency. It's a quippy show full of 80's pop culture references and a black white buddy show with a weekly who done it. It'll never be held up like Fargo or American Horror Story (though another brilliant show) but I watch it regularly and it never gets old.

Parks and recreation is fantastic, I love it and can binge on 10 or so eps without getting sick of it. I've not watched the first season but it is sold from season 2. Ron Swanson is a hero to me.

When I was a baker I used to like to come home and just binge on the Kids cartoons, Avatar the last Airbender, Dragon Ball Z, Yo ghi oh, these are great little shows with cool Ideas. Dragon Ball in its self ran for near 20 years from its original series, to Z and on to GT.

Check out Childrens Hospital (Comedy), it was a Internet show before getting picked up and is a great little comedy with some bizzar ideas

Other than that my other shows are mainly: Inbetweeners, IT Crowd, Doctor Who, Arrested development, Death Valley (think cops meets the walking Dead), Oh and if you watch and like Freaks and Geeks follow it up with Undeclared set in present day (though that is 2001 I think) staring that bloke from SOA, Seth Rogen and Jay Bershedual (Sic) and Jason Segal, coming of age Sitcom set in a College.

Treme.

By the same lot that did The Wire, based in New Orleans post Katrina. Has a hot violinist in it. And John Goodman. Can't lose.

Suits is good. Have only seen first two seasons but enjoyed it. From all reports, season 3 just turns to shit.

Touch is reasonably decent. Kiefer Sutherland with an autistic kid who sees patterns in numbers and how it all connects the universe. Or something. If you get past the premise, the show is pretty good. Only goes for 2 seasons.

Elementary is surprisingly excellent, if you haven't seen it. Had zero real interest in another Sherlock Holmes show after the awesomeness of Sherlock, however it is really good.

Burn Notice... basically a modern day MacGyver. Has Bruce Campbell in it so it's awesome anyway.

What is this shit? NBN have The Block on NBN, GEM and GO all at once! What a great excuse to flick over to the Commonwealth Games.....

[Bon]

Got a call off my sister last night telling me to flick over to SBS2 where they had Drunk History on..
It was AMAZING..
For anyone who hasn't seen it, the basic premise of the show is to get comedians/celebrities really drunk and then they act as narrator explaining particular events in history, while actors play out and lip sync the pissed-out narrators story..

Rich Fulcher (from Mighty Boosh) explaining Lincoln as a lawyer.. hahahahaha

Hi peeps
Last night I was channel surfing on FTA and a warning came up about an upcoming program:-
The 7 themes were
Coarse Language
Violence
Adult Themes
Nudity
Drug use
Horror
Sex scenes

I thought, "Geez, what sort of show is this? 7 warnings? This is the jackpot of FTA naughtiness!"
Can anyone guess which program it was?

Quality show. 2nd season is going good.

[Grimario]

How far in are you?

I've only watched the first episode but have so much other stuff on the go (Newsroom, Orange is the Black, Treme SE04, Orphan Black) that I am having a hard time getting into it.

[la bazzle]

S02 ep8 I think? Its building up nicely rays still being a sick khunt daily. Is there new newsroom?

[Grimario]

Not that I know of... I only got Foxtel a few months back...

http://www.newcastlefootball.net/forum/showthread.php?143-The-TV-Shows-Thread&p=83159&viewfull=1#post83159

So I have been playing catch up on all the stuff I missed. As if by magic, the entirety of GoT SE04 was on the weekend after it was all set up.

[plague]

Watched Fargo enjoyed.

Finished it tonight.
Excellent.
Billy Bob Thornton is epic.
Highly recommend.

[Bremsstrahlung]

I'm about 4-5 episodes into season 1 of Ray Donovan, such a hard hunt. That girl thats trying to get with him (no more than an episode 1 spoiler there) is smoking.
Reminding me of Breaking Bad in the way of the wife being seen as a bitch.

Next up may be Fargo?
Newsroom sounds like a Suits kind of thing?
Orange is the new black, is this a drama like "wentworth" or a bit more involved/gruesome/impactful etc

[Imyourhero]

Fargo is amazing.
Newsroom is actually suprising addictive.
OITNB i enjoyed...however i wouldn't say i got addicted, but it does have a mass following so I think its a must try at least.

[Grimario]

Newsroom is by Aaron Sorkin, same guy that did The West Wing. If you loved that show, you will at least like this. Plus it has Olivia Munn in it as a smoking hot finance journalist.

OITNB is about a pretty clean cut (these days) white girl who gets jail time for drug running she did as a stupid lustful youth (whilst hooking up with Donna from that 70's show). I don't know if it gets gruesome in the second season or if the format changes, but mostly each episode focuses on the story of one of the other inmates. It's won a bucketload of awards (as a comedy...) but it's those awards that made me think it was completely different to what it actually is. Definitely one of the best shows I've seen in the last 5 or so years.

[Jeterpool]

I tried Brooklyn Nine-nine. I really enjoy it. For Scrubs fans, give it a go. I think it has a similar feel.

[plague]

Next up may be Fargo?

Not optional.
It's 10 eps.
La Baz, Imuourhero and Plague all have endorsed.
Billy Bob Thornton.
Case closed.

I definietely read there will be Fox 1-5, Fox Footy and Fox Sports news, plus further development of the red button function. It said there will be 7 sports channels.

Perhaps Fox Sports 5 won't be HD?? It'll all come to the surface soon.

http://www.foxsports.com.au/more-sports/fox-sports-presents-new-channel-lineup-with-best-year-ever-ahead/story-e6frf56c-1227046594056

Says 4 and 5 in HD

[WolfMan]

Fox Sports News long overdue for the HD treatment. Thankfully they are doing something about it

IQ3 out before year's end apparently, which will incorporate FTA channels (via the antenna as you might already use, as seen in Austar's last STU), ability to record 3x live programs whilst watching a 4th, bigger capacity.

A few changes to the channel packaging (Platinum subscribers get 2x free Box Office films per month), and also a BoxSets feature, basically a library of select shows (Sopranos, Girls etc.) available to download via internet-connected STU

[furns]

Also price drop and better organisation of packages and add ons. Will still end up costing me $100 a month tho

[Grimario]

Details on price drop? :o

25% discount on top of new price for me, whoo.

*edit*

Just read a release in work email. Whoo.

Bit of smoke and mirrors I reckon. I got the idea that SPEED (and possible Eurosport?) was being moved to Fox Sports 4 and 5.
And for us long suffering existing subscribers, I get the impression it won't necessarily be cheaper.
The official spin was that you'll get more content without having to ask (details unknown), but I'm pretty sure they'll package it is someway to make it "difficult" to reduce your monthly spend if you do ask.

Foxtel’s sports package will cost $25 in addition to the basic $25 package, meaning an overall drop of about $20 to $25 for current sports customers.

Watched the last episode of Ray Donovan last night great finish. Interesting to see what happens next season. Also watch the new Walking Dead last night. Holy shit it was good. Should be a great season.

Ray Donovan was awesome. Gotham is 3 eps in and it amazeballs, 2nd episode of Flash is out today looking forward to watching that tonight.

Anyone kept up with Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

I basically worship Andy Samberg, I love nearly everything he does, but I was worried this show would be too over-the-top Samberg. But IMO they've got it perfect, and it's quick becoming one of my favourite shows.

The most recent episode was hilarious - the relationship between Peralta and the Captain is getting so, so good!

[Grimario]

The show would be nothing without Braugher.

On a side note - Big Bang and Modern Family have really gone off the boil this year.

How good is the box set channel on fox. Have been getting into dexter lately. So good watching it back to back. Up to season 5 at the moment.

Did anybody appreciate it? Absolute rubbish, but the last 2 seasons were trending that way IMHO

Anyone subscribed to that? Or anyone know of plans for it to be shown on TV?

So Netflix is due to launch March31 in Australia (I know you can already get it through service that remove geo-block).

What I want to know is how many people think this will change their viewing habits?

I know for me I already watch more of ABC iView, SBS OnDemand, BeIn Sports, iTunes Rentals.... and then the other channels if they are showing something that I can't rent from iTunes.

So for me I suppose this just opens up a whole range of new content for $10 a month that I wouldn't already have. While the Australian version will lack some big titles due to exclusivity agreements here in Aus (Orange is the New Black is the big one in this list, others like Game of Thrones and other large scale HBO titles will be included), I still think this is going to help progress the change in my TV viewing habits, and I probably will stop watching ten, nine, seven completely.

[goaliepersempre]

I have netflix over here in switzerland launched about 5 months ago... slow start but now getting alot more content... the old geoblock and saying in USA or the UK is really good (until i guess that catch up on it and yeah....)

crazy the difference in the content re uk and usa... yeah the us has the most contents generally speaking, the uk version has say alot of good british stuff the us doesnt so thats always worth a shout...


In my WG we have a tv but the system here you have to pay for tv in anycase and we havent as we wouldnt watch much normal tv anyways... mostly streaming online on various sites (not illegal here) and now netflix has added another better quaility dimension....


Better Call Saul, i can watch on netflix, watched first 2 episodes and i like it.... Its not breaking bad and its not marketed as such...

Anyone watch the Americans? spy series?

I gave up on Arrow after the first season. I thought the acting was terrible - too much like a soapie. Did it improve after that?

[plague]

Gone back and started an Entourage marathon.
Caught the odd random episode up til S.5 back in the day.
Am currently up to the start of S.4.

It's both entertaining and pretty awful all at the same time to be honest.

Ari Gold is the only one who can act, and the Johnny Drama character has to be the worst ever.

Sloan is hot though and I forgot how much of an 'older woman crush' I had on Mrs Ari back in the day.

Will try and make it through the next 4 seasons.

Third series of Vikings is just coming out now..
Haven't seen any of the new ones yet, but thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 seasons.. A bit of a dumbed-down GoT..

Downlo... ahem.. Acquired the first three seasons of Walking Dead but haven't started it yet..
I keep going back to revisit classic old comedies like Bottom and The Young Ones, getting a bit of a Rik Mayall fix of late..

After years of delaying watching it, I finally started watching Workaholics (bolded for Bon). And then smashed through 2 seasons in record time for me. I freaking loved it! I can't believe I held off on watching it for so long :rof:

New Kids - ****ed up holland comedy... short little 2-3min episodes and think there is a movie of some sort.... Just stupid but funny over the top funny.

im sure not for everyones liking..

also just started watching a german doco about 2 blokes in a house (and safety team) doing task that the instructions say not to do.... Microwave a bottle of wine, putting tins on the cooker, tieing fireworks on the hills hoyce to dry the washing etc... pretty funny.

the struggle is real today

GOT back on, the next 10 weeks is torture with ****s posting spoilers on facebook who don't work 8-5.

Made even more torturous by the fact that ep 1-4 have been leaked already.

My struggle is deciding whether to watch 1-4 and be a month without a new ep, or to watch weekly, or to watch it all in one hit at the end (didn't work well last time, got the Joff spoiler :( )

[BodyNovo]

i'm staying strong

i went to europe last year lasted 4 weeks than, started streaming the episodes on my Ipad, it was torture when i watched 4 in one hit than had to wait another week.

New Daredevil is awesome Netflix an their idea of binge watching is even better, I'm up to ep10 with 3 do go.
Although it started of slow Agents of Shield and now Daredevil, I'm really digging what Marvel are doing with the Inhumans and now Defenders concept.

Agreed with Daredevil, started watching it today, up to episode 7...

Finished it up last and now I'm hanging for season 2.
Although it could be some time for season 2 as Marvel have committed themselves to Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist origin series before the Defenders Mini-Series. Weather or not they will fit a Daredevil season 2 in there somewhere I don't know, but I think they have to after they drop the massive Elektra reference in there.

As I stated earlier I'm so keen to see where they will go with the Defenders concept (although I think I know where they're heading with it) it's just a matter of them actually proceeding with it.

[plague]

I'm sitting through Game of Thrones because I love my wife very much but man, it's not all that great.

They had a sword fight on the other night that looked like Plague Jnr at recess with his bozo 6 year old mates.

I do enjoy that Queen Cersi chick though. She's very good.

Last few episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine were great. Enjoyed the laughs.

I'm loving Game of Thrones. It's moving quite slowly at the moment but I'm loving most things in it. The worlds reaction to Ramsey/Sansa was incredibly over the top IMO.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has quickly become one of my favourite ever TV shows. Agreed Jpool, the last few eps were so good. The Chopper episode had to be the best I've seen yet! For some reason I had it in my head that there was one more episode to go after the recent one, which was obviously wrong. I genuinely think I'm going to have a meltdown between now and when S03 gets aired - I need to see who was in the elevator!!

Speaking of the elevator - how freaking good was the elevator scene in the recent paintball episode of Community! Oh my days!!

I still haven't watched this yet, but I've got a deal going with pv4 that I'll give it a go when he gives Peep Show a proper go..

I only just discovered Nathan Barley, amazing show!! Made in 2005, but everything in it is so relevant today.. All about the rise of the fashion trendy hipster wankers and a writers hatred for them, basically the more he hates them, the more they worship him..
Written by Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker, its got Noel and Julian from Mighty Boosh in it (pre-Boosh), Richard Ayoade (It Crowd, Garth Marenghi, etc), Benedict Cumberbatch, whatever the blokes name is who plays the new Q in James Bond and a heap of other now famous English comedians/actors..

[Bremsstrahlung]

GoT is slowly building towards something I feel. And i'm somewhat excited for the last few episodes of the season.
I'm struggling a little bit with some of the story lines, everything is crossing over, and some story lines are quite boring (Bran, and Hodor-esque boring).

[parksey]

Episode 6 onwards has been pretty great. The last ep was probably the best of the season, and one of the best of the series.

Definitely a lot weaker than season 4 though up until this point.

[plague]

game of thrones has lost the plot

Has anyone read the books? Was any of that stuff last night in them? The big death at the end apparently has already been 'explained' on the internetz so probably won't turn out that shocking.

pretty meh season but a couple good episodes at the back end of it.

[Grimario]

There are a gazillion theories out there about his death. The return of Melisandre to Castle Black (she never leaves in the book) links in with one of the theories... with her being a Red Priestess and bringing him back to life (same happened with Thoros, the dude with the flaming sword from S1/2 and Lord Beric Dondarrion). The big nerd theory out there is that Snow isn't actually Ned's bastard, he is actually the offspring of Rhaegar and Lyanna. So he's actually a Targaryen... and the ultimate nerd theory is that him and Dany get hitched and save the world from the white walkers.

Or something.

[parksey]

yeah i've already spoiled myself by stumbling across those theories.

the main problem i have with the show this season has been the writing. it's either been slow and boring or rushed and devoid of any logic.

[Jeterpool]

I mean it's nice that some bits have caught up to the books but wtf is with some of the other bits? They've ****ing lost it. I think I might just give the rest of the series the bin unless GRMM carks it.

[plague]

So did Jon Snow die in the books? Did he even get stabbed?

I've heard the 'witch lady brings him back' theory and assume it's legit.

Watched the first episode of true detective last night. I thought It was pretty good.

[parksey]

i dunno if i liked the first ep

there was a bit too much going on for me. one of the first series' main strengths was its subtlety before a big reveal of a character flaw or plot twist.

and old mate just happened to find the body randomly while going for a motorbike ride with his lights off. seemed a tad hamfisted to me.

If you like IT Crowd, Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, etc then you'll love Peep Show. All of its seasons are on Stan, if you want an easy way to obtain it.

Yep. I see it getting a lot of hate around the place and while it's nowhere near S01, it's still better than most of what's on TV.

[Imyourhero]

I agree, the story arc is more complex imo, more gets left unsaid. I was actually dissapointed with the ending of S01 so I hope I enjoy the S02 finale more this time around.

[parksey]

yeah season 1 ending was a bit whack but this season has been whack throughout.

at least things are coming together a bit more and it's getting more interesting.

the standard of the writing has just gone way down this season.

[parksey]

so what did we all think of the finale?

[Grimario]

I think they tried to cram way too much into 8 episodes.

I still loved it though. Even with the first 3 episodes letting it down, I reckon this season was fantastic.

not sure if i like the lead character though

[pistolpete]

Yeah when it started I really liked it. Lost me in the middle but the last episode was good. A bit undecided whether I like it or not. I have been really tired lately so it has been hard watching but they seem to be trying too hard to be clever and it is just annoying

First two episodes of Falling Skies season 5 have been great. I can't wait for the next episode!!

I've been watching this since season one and it annoys me. I'm glad it's one ep away from ending as it is just too farcical at times. Hal should have died at least once a season and so many other main characters too. Why they have to keep on living rather than doing the right thing.
Though in saying that this season has had better episodes and more tension than the past.

I've been watching this since season one and it annoys me. I'm glad it's one ep away from ending as it is just too farcical at times. Hal should have died at least once a season and so many other main characters too. Why they have to keep on living rather than doing the right thing.

I saw the final episode today. Come back once you've watched it

Finale of Mr Robot was excellent. So many questions I now have to wait a year to have answered. ****ing hell.

[goaliepersempre]

Lillehammer !!!

Season 5 of Suits is at it's midseason break, which is good because i wont miss any episodes whilst im away.

finally went back to it's roots that being Mike isnt actually a lawyer.

Talk about a fizzer. Really missed a chance to really do something.

And pope, **** me.......

[goaliepersempre]

Lillehammer !!!
first 2 season top!!!

3rd season had good promise but horrible ending!!!

is not going to be renewed :( maybe in another light.. production side problems :(


now onto the next thing...

Watched last night the start of Narcos on Netflix not to bad.... and also Clerks (animated series)

[plague]

Was concerned it would just be a cheap Fight Club knock off

which bit concerned you, the fact that they even used the same damn Pixies song during the beginning of the end?
thought is was a really good show. as with most i had suspicions on where it was headed but once the apple martini scene about ep 4 it was clear who Mr Robot was.
still though, would be interested where s.2 goes.




oh and every time the pregnant wife of the scando dude spoke in scando i got a massive horn. there was something really sexy the way she spoke.

Yep, I'm quoting myself to bump it..
This is coming out on Saturday on Stan.. And I'm pumped for it..
Anyone know what the go is with Stan? Is it basically just another version of Netfrix that you pay per month to stream??

Yep. Netflix, Stan (Nine/Fairfax), Quickflix (Nine) and Presto (Foxtel/Ch7) are all the same thing with different content.

After two weeks of having Netflix at my brother's place, I am going to sign up this week. ****ing love it.

Just finished Jessica Jones on Netflix.
If you liked Daredevil then you will like this, I absolutely loved it and the Netflix part of the MCU has got it absolutely right. Now the long wait for Daredevil season 2 and Luke Cage next year.

As for Jessica Jones, from the outset it hits the ground running with its darker tone. The writers have used the source material perfectly with their own little spin on the story. There are a few little difference from the comics that have been changed to fit into this story and I quite liked them, although to the casual viewer you wouldn't notice that. Without going into it to much for spoilers in my opinion the villain in this series is exactly what you want to see and since the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe he has been the best villain yet.
A few of the episode drag on with necessary but boring dialog but all in all a solid 9.5/10 and a must watch.

[plague]

I watched that 'Banksy does New York' doco last night.
Art stuff aside he's probably the smartest marketing executive in the world right now yeah?

[Grimario]

I don't understand why I didn't sign up to Netflix/uflix (or similar) a million years ago and **** Foxtel off. What have I been doing with my money?

[Jeterpool]

But doesn't Netflix in Australia have a much smaller catalogue of TV shows when compared to the US?

Also, does Netflix show the latest seasons of shows as they are airing?

Hence Uflix (https://uflix.com.au/). $2 a month/$20 a year, has a 14 day trial. I've just configured the PS4 and it boots up US Netflix. It also lets you access other stuff that is geoblocked like BBC Player.

It's odd seeing Australian shows on there with different names. Dreamland on US store... guess the original Australian show.

[Bon]

Anyone else seen much of Toast Of London?
I'm a big fan of Matt Berry, seriously, the bloke has got to have one of the greatest voices ever..

Hahahaha I love Numberwang..
Mitchell and Webb are brilliant..
They have a new season of Peep Show coming out at the moment. I haven't seen any of the episodes just yet though..

So it works well? I have wondered how well Uflix actually works... Was it easy to set up?

At first, no.... but that was purely me. Once I realised the IP I was trying to configure was actually my phone because I had forgotten to turn WiFi on and was still using mobile data, it took all of 10 seconds, hitting refresh and voila, done.

They include a step by step guide for PS4, Xbox, Android phones and tablets, PC's, an entire router reconfigure and guides for most other stuff.

A Very Murray Christmas released this weekend on Netflix. It's pretty amusing. I love Rashida Jones.

We got a Netflix voucher for Christmas & signed up the other day, watching through Apple TV

Can't for the life of me think why we didn't do it before, it's bloody awesome (so far).

Agree with previous posters about Jessica Jones. High quality viewing.

Seriously, check out www.uflix.com.au
14 day trial, (almost) idiot proof step by step set up guides for PC, phones, tablets, Apple TV, PS4, Xbone etc. Watch the US/UK/Canadian (German?) Netflix which is infinitely better than the watered down shite we get. Then it's $2 a month or $20 for a whole year.

Just did this too. Can highly recommend and the setup is easy as grim said. Definitely worth the $20

Funniest show on TV. Poor blokes have no idea how to handle those ball breakers on the show.

Hopefully this Newy entrant scores some points.

Neither myself or the wife speak Mandarin or Cantonese but when the show comes on we always turn up the volume. nfi why.

So I can watch the the World champs interactive fifa WC. Are you kidding, not bad though

Signed up to Netflix Australia yesterday. The picture quality is ok but quite a long way off what discs can output. Content wise though plenty of my favorites like Rake, Arrested Development, Freaks n Geeks, and Archer to keep me busy.

[pv4]

Archer

New season, so good.

Absolutely love Milton :rof:

Blue Mountain State - Highly recommended for a laugh.
