Mark Albrighton Posted October 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2015 3 seasons of Arrested Development are great TV, started season 4 and its an absolute huge drop in quality. The characters are not likeable enough to devote an entire show to one characterYep, I watched about the first 9 episodes of the 4th season and it was probably the biggest decline in a sitcom I've seen. Couldn't be fussed to watch the rest. Ive got to 4 and am struggling find motivation for the rest of season but I suppose ill stick with it as a short seasonFrom reading elsewhere, it's not clear whether it's beneficial to binge watch the season or not.I watched the 8 or 9 I saw back to back. I wanted to see the Gob episode (which is ok, but I would still consider it a poor relation of previous brilliance).I heard that it all ties in during the final few episodes and the quality improves, but i didn't feel it would be worth it.Would be curious to hear what you thought of it once you got through it!

Rodders Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I do think it's ok when you've seen them all, but it is a slog at times which is a shame as the initial 3 seasons are superb. It is cleverly done in S4, but I think from what I recall it was due to having to shoot around cast schedules, although the first time I saw, Michael's sister ( Portia something? ) I was stunned, barely recognisable. If they got them back as an ensemble, the writing is always there to do something good again, but it's like Red Dwarf, sometimes you just got to let go... ( speaking of which 2 more seasons of Red Dwarf still to come! - Please stop diluting the memories! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I do like how in the final episode of AD it all comes together. However, the ending was a bit meh and certainly didn't have me yearning for season 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Started season three of Elementary and Joan has moved out, I hope this gets resolved quickly. It doesn't feel right. Edited October 22, 2015 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2015 "The Last Kingdom" was pretty decent last night.Anglo-Saxons v the Danes. Think GoT with less nudity, no dragons but more historical context. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 If you are a fan of ultra dark comedy then I highly recommend the Anthony Jeselnik special currently showing on Netflix. The dude is fearless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Watched three episodes of ARROW, last two have been abit pants am thinking of just stopping. Does it get any better or should I start on something else?First series gets better as it goes along but never gets beyond 'good throwaway fun'. Second series gets very good. Third series is crap bar 3 or 4 good episodes, but has crossovers with the Flash which is a very good fun.All the series suffer from being too long so have a lot of padding. It's most obvious in the third series, and the first has its baggy sections. Second series gets away with it with a good villain. It's a good 13 episode show spread over 23 basically, because US TV.

In other news, despite my indifference to sitcoms, I've been forced to watch Parks and Recreation. It's OK. But I was reading the Wikipedia entry, which said that they had to modify the main character after the first series, as viewers thought she was '"ditsy and unintelligent". Um... surely That's The Joke??? [emoji53] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2015 My brother loves Parks & recreation. I gave it a try and while the cast are very good and it certainly has it's moments, I got a bit tired of those little looks to the camera which occur after someone has said something stupid. Those sly glances to suggest "Gee, is it just me? Get a load of this crazy guy!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Those looks don't happen that often, because that would have put me off too, but it didn't. Also, Mooney, how much have you watched? Because after you've struggled through the first series, it just gets better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 24, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2015 Fair enough, those looks don't occur every time a stupid remark is made, that's an exaggeration on my part. But the episode I saw, it felt like every other scene culminated in one of the characters giving a dead pan look to the camera. Just found it a bit repetitive.

But I was only watching because my daughter was. Given a choice I'll always find something I'd rather do than watch a sitcom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
