Ponky Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It might be a trashy, unrealistic sex & violence fest with Brit and Aussie actors displaying some if the worst American accents ever to make it to TV but I am totally addicted to Strike Back.

sharkyvilla Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Just started watching True Detective. Brilliant so far. I watched the whole thing over the weekend, it is excellent. Some quality nudity in it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Sons of Anarchy season three finale was one of the best episodes of TV I've watched. Kept me guessing for an entire hour, just brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Just watched the House of Fools Christmas special. Very silly, and very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 We couldn't get through the first episode of The Wire. Too slow, nothing interesting was happening and it wasn't gripping us at all. Said anyone who's ever watched The WireAfter really enjoying Breaking Bad and Walking Dead, The Wire just seemed like any other cops/drug programme. Maybe I'll give it a few more episodes another day. The other half won't watch it though. Her exact words were "This is as dry as a droopy armpit"... She has a way with words, obviously.

Dodgyknees Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I had the same issue with The Wire, maybe I need to try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Problem with The Wire is that it doesn't appear to be on any of the legal streaming websites after tomorrow. Even US Netflix doesn't have it which I've always found odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The season 1-5 boxset is on Amazon for about £50. I'd say that's a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a decent deal for a big fan of the show wanting to keep the collection for posterity. Not for someone who's still to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think if you're into serial dramas and good TV shows in any way that there's a ridiculously high chance you'd love The Wire. That's why I think it's a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite me being a huge fan of breaking bad, I absolutely loved it, The Wire is still better. Be sure to give it a chance. It would be a shame to miss out because you couldn't get through the first couple of episodes. Its not even fair to make the comparison to TWD. The Wire is a better show in its first 15 minutes than TWD will ever be. Edited December 30, 2014 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Well the last episode of Homeland was a kick in the balls Bit of a quiet one, wasn't it? Ah well, still a great season. Downloaded it because I couldn't wait and its got to be one of the worst finales I have seen in ages. The only plus is that Saul is back but it was a massive turnround from where he was after his release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I wonder if they had a different season finale in mind, or at least they changed a large chunk of it because James Rebhorn's death. He died back in March though, not sure when this latest season was filmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2014 Charlie Brooker did a fantastic job of his yearly wipe this year. Brilliant. Always one of the things I look forward to at Christmas. Didn't think it quite scaled the heights of previous years but still head and shoulders above most of the dross on TV these days.

useless Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I just watched that Charlie Brooker thing, I didn't find it or funny or interesting at all. Seems people have been hypnotized into liking his act because he's put out there as a thinking man's entertainer.

Ginko Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Recorded it and will watch tomorrow. If it's like any of his books, articles or his other TV offerings in recent times then no doubt it'll be very entertaining. I think he's brilliant.
