CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I tried watching the original but it really hasn't aged well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2014 I can imagine that'd be true if things like cinematography bother you as it is from a different era style wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcgrathsknees Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Story looks almost identical. Looking forward to a 2nd series. But spoilered it reviewing the original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2014 Story looks almost identical. Looking forward to a 2nd series. But spoilered it reviewing the original!The necessary Americanisation of the storyline makes for some plot divergence, certainly enough to be able to watch both unlike say The Tunnel which was totally unwatchable having already seen and loved The Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 True Detective should be good today Pizzolatto has said it's his favourite episode and tweeted something interesting regarding the episode before, although it's now been deleted.

Folski Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 5 episodes of House of Cards left and a new true detective, why do I have to go to work today? Also anyone watch "The Mentalist"? I started it like a week ago about two thirds of the way through season one should I continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Also anyone watch "The Mentalist"? I started it like a week ago about two thirds of the way through season one should I continue?

Yes. most underrated show on tv considering nobody I know watches it or has heard of it I had no idea what it was either till about 8 days ago. Unfortunately I've started it when House of Cards has come back and True Detective so it's put to the side for tonight, but will hopefully be finished season one y Thursday if not sooner.

TrinityRoadSteps Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I keep meaning to start watching House of Cards. Something else always gets in the way though. Currently wading through all 5 series of The Wire. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 House of Fools had me howling the other day. Vic singing War Inna Babylon is one of my TV highlights of the year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah I've just started watching House of Cards (US), only on the 5th episode and it's fantastic viewing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It's highly entertaining but utterly devoid of meaning. Bit like GoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoyed each episode, keep going, it's just more of the same.I found it a bit like House, but not as good. Every episode follows the same formula of Jane being aloof for the first half an hour before having a stroke of genius from nowhere and outsmarting the rest of the team, with a fairly slow moving overarching plot that never seems to go anywhere. It's ok for 40 minutes of mindless TV I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
