I'm loving Fargo too, if you're into the whole 'old movie turned into TV series' trend there is a new series based on 'From Dusk till Dawn' at the moment. I've only seen a small bit of it but looks pretty interesting. Supposedly the first season goes over the movie plot until they escape the Bar but then the series moves into Mexico and explains heaps more.Quote:

Very sad news..
ffs now I know that I am old, when one of The Young Ones passes away
It's a crime that one of The Young Ones has passed away before Cliff ****ing Richard.
RIP The People's Poet

.....and all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead!"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Just think he's a bad actor. As mentioned, I'm scarred from his performance in The Wire.
i'm not sure what's going on with his accent in the show.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
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.
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.Quote:

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 [spoiler]apparently a prisoner to the espengee doing their bidding[/spoiler] 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.Quote:

We watched the first ep of "orange is the new black" seems like it might be okay.
What type of show are you looking for?Quote:
