johnsonp Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 New season of Mad Men starts this weekend in the USA... no idea when UK TV will pick it up. I love Mad men and cannot wait for the new series. The usual way is at the UK showing will start in Jan 11. It was the same on the last series (i.e. show in summer/fall of 09 in the US and start of the year 10 for UK) Jez, what are your thoughts of Mad Men so far, I was hooked from the first episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I'm liking, watched 4 episodes so far and like how its takes its time, reminds me of The Wire in that respect. Interesting characters taking there time with each so far... Acting is great too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted July 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'm liking, watched 4 episodes so far and like how its takes its time, reminds me of The Wire in that respect. Compared to Mad Men, The Wire is fast paced. That's not an insult to Mad Men or The Wire, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath182 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I've just started watching Entourage, my mate gave me all 6 series, watched the first 5 episodes last night, I think its brilliant! He gave me a few more series to watch as well, got Weeds series 1-4, Rome, Fringe and Journeyman. Gonna take a while to plow through all these. Entourage gets better and better mate... season 1 is probably the shittest one Agree, watched all 6 series, need to get what has been shown of season 7 so far, really enjoyed Entourage! Ari Gold is probably the best character ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 usvilla tipped me off that "Sons Of Anarchy" is worth a look Just watched the pilot and I already like it, and have two whole seasons on my HD ;-) Ron Perlman is in it so it has to be awesome!

Anthony Posted July 26, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2010 I watched that new BBC version of Sherlock Holmes today. It's actually really good. I was genuinely surprised: I tend not to watch any TV at all as so much of it is **** shite, but this is very good, despite all the usual alarm bells (ie BBC drama, set in the modern day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSufferingVilla Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Is "The Last Enemy" any good? It somehow found its way onto my Netflix queue (Must have accidentally hit it while adding Top Gear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one is still available on iplayer, both HD and regular, until the 15th of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If anyone's feeling deprived of football, last night on the BBC iplayer I found the "Milk Cup" within Sport & Football. It has 3 fulls games to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted August 4, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2010 Rubicon looks good (watching the first episode now... don't know if that's a US-only video). wiki"] The series centers around an intelligence analyst at a national think tank who discovers that he may be working with members of a secret society that manipulates world events on a grand scale. The series stars James Badge Dale, Jessica Collins, Miranda Richardson, Dallas Roberts, Christopher Evan Welch, Paul Butler and Peter Gerety. Peter Gerety will be recognizable to viewers of The Wire and Homicide: Life on the Street: Henry Bromell, who was a writer/producer for a few seasons of H:LotS, is executive producer (I think it may be impossible to have great American television that isn't connected to H:LotS... after all, it's only the greatest TV show in history). It also has a character who's a dead ringer for Randy Lerner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
