Im finally getting around to watching The Wire almost 1st Season finished... quality show...
At home sick today.
Dawson's Creek on TV
Government conspiracy to get people off the couch and into work I reckon.
**** me how was that show ever a hit?
Katie Holmes. Chicks wanted to be like her and the lads wanted to thread her needle.Quote:

But the show was complete shit.
Don't underestimate Pacey's impact on the female gender.Quote:

Still though when Dawson got that 'older' girlfriend that was pretty dope.
Gretchen I think.
Also, as an aside, there was a very cool interview with Dawson on the wireless the other day.
Dude seems like a legit nice bloke.
Proper soft cock on that show though.
Possibly best show ever made.Quote:

Legend.. Trailer Park Boys what a show.
Watching Brooklyn 999 hooked. Such a funny show
Jane the Virgin. Clever and hillarious take on the telenovela genre. Waiting for season 4 to come out now.
I watched the first few series of Shameless [US Version] but what was a bit of a laugh at first is unfortunately a very accurate portrayal of how substance abuse destroys families and society in general. These people actually do exist - I know because I've met them.
UK version is soo much betterQuote:

Cannot understand the hype for an updated, and far less entertaining Blade Runner.
Apparently the book is great, so I might give that a go.
Good choice.Quote:

I think I may have read the book round 10 years ago - if not then it was a very similar concept. Was a pretty good read.
Not familiar with that one. Is it a spin off to Brooklyn 99?Quote:

Can raise an interesting discussion on this topic though.. most people when faced with death imminently are going to be scared; so is it irrational for people to be aware of their mortality even when not staring it down? Or vice versa is it an "enlightened state" to be able to comfortably live in ignorance of it? (which would be most people who aren't scared of it, myself included).Quote:

Whereas once you hit the middle part you not only stress about your own mortality, and those close to you, but you get sad over complete strangers dying. It’s weird man.
I’m not sure if ignorance is the best word. I’d call it acceptance. You know it’s coming, you can’t do anything about it, so why stress.
I’m also not the best person to ask on this either. It has a very unflattering name, but I’d rather you just assume I’m ‘different’.
If anything I’m def more ‘concerned’ at how my life will be when I reach the age you physically can’t live your current life.
I guess I was looking at contrasting the ignorance with acceptance. I reckon a lot of people probably aren't that happy that they're gonna die. But just don't really think about it much and so its not an active concern. Rather than being well aware of it in day to day life and having conscious thoughts that its acceptable and considering it in their decisions.Quote:

Riverdale is good.
So is Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (but I like Douglas Adams)
And Black Lightning is very good too
Anyone seen Barry?
Watched first few episodes. Enjoying it.
