Read an article yesterday saying they had wrapped filming of season 3, should be on our screens in a few months hopefully. Cam't wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Currently watching and enjoying The Affair, series one. For those that have watched it, there are definitely 10 episodes in series one, aren't there? The reason I ask is because I have only been able to 'acquire' episodes 1-8. Unless the final episode is double or triple length or something so only counts as one...? Wiki seems to indicate there are 10 episodes of the same length, so I'm missing the last two, but thought I'd ask anyway.

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Have watched first series of agent carter over the last 3 days, really enjoyed it. Slow to get going first couple of episodes but addictive stuff towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I noticed that Malcolm in the middle has been on comedy central xtra recently so I've set it to series record on my sky box. I've been flying through 2 or 3 a day. I loved it back in the day but its just as good now, not sure if they are cherry picking the best episodes or the general quality was actually that good.

Stevo985 Posted January 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'd say it's arguably Brian Cranston's best performance. And I'm actually serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's brilliant in pretty much everything he does. But I think the star of that show is actually the mother because she's the root cause of all the chaos and there'd be no show without the villain.

Yeah, so much so I couldn't tell for sure it was him.. a silly drunkard version of the lawyer maybe. That guy is harmless though however much he talks the talk, while the lawyer has psychopathic tendencies and is in a position to ruin lives.

AVFCDAN Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm just thinking of one episode now and chuckling to myself. Its the one where Lois doesn't give the cop the normal store discount and then she thinks he is harassing her when he writes her up. Craig has the security tape which proves her innocence at which point Hal grabs the tape and smashes it to bits. Quality episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I finished Making A Murderer a couple of days ago... Spoiler Very disturbing viewing. I know that the documentary is skewed very much in the direction that Steve and Brendan are innocent so it's hardly an unbiased view, but you can't argue with the facts. The term 'beyond reasonable doubt' means exactly that and I feels it's impossible that twelve members of a jury came to a unanimous decision of guilt for either Steve or Brendan without further underhanded things going on behind the scenes. It's unfathomable that any sane person could think either of them was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. As for the slimeballs that were Brendan's initial defence lawyer and the District Attorney who prosecuted in both trials... disgusting, low-life, immoral scum. I'm glad the DA had that scandal and resigned from his position, but these two really need to be heavily punished. I'm not sure how anyone could do the things they did to another human being. That DA's high pitched voice was so creepy too. Actually felt sick when the verdicts were handed down but I'm so frustrated that we'll never find out what really happened.

This story got to me quite a bit. I'm walking around mad, yelling at the wall and stuff. Spoiler Especially the Brendan interviews both with the detectives and the investigator made me fume. That he was found guilty is just strange, but I don't understand how the judge could possibly deny him a re-trial. What a **** travesty!

JB Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Had a search for similar sorts of things after finishing Making a Murderer. First up was The Jinx, which was pretty good. Recently finished The Staircase. Spoiler How he could ever have been found guilty beyond reasonable doubt is incomprehensible to me. Nowhere near as gripping as Making a Murderer but still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
