Best comedy program I've seen in a long while. Yes it's really funny. Ilana Glazer who writes and stars in it also is in Broad City which she co-writes. Broad City is absolutely ****'n hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Started House of Cards, it's a great show. If that isn't enough to pique your interest you should know that in the first episode in you get to see Kate Mara on the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 After the comment about GoT being delayed for a winter release I had a look to see what else HBO have lined up westworld - there's a trailer out there, I've never seen the original film, it looks like robots and Cowboys, looks really good, starts in October The deuce - David Simon (the wire) doing a show about the 70s and 80s New York porn scene, starring James Franco and Maggie gyllenhaal, no date yet a ribbon of dreams - David chase (the sopranos) doing a mini series I think on the birth of American cinema and going in to western stuff big little lies - starring Kidman, wetherspoon and skarsgard, sounds like some sort of mothery comedy thing lewis and Clark - Tom hanks mini series starring cases affleck about an expedition in to to America in the early 1800s,I'm think they're the 2 blokes who travel with Sacagawea the Young Pope - with sky and canal+ starring Jude law about a pope struggling with his responsibilites Gods and secrets - HBO doing a superhero show...apparently influenced by watchmen, Denise Richards, Jane Seymour, diamond Dallas page...done by the executive producer of dredd They're trying to get a napoleon series on the go and have 2/3 new comedies lined up including one from the eastbound and down team, the mighty 8th (BoB, the Pacific, this is the next one, about an airborne division) has gone really quiet Westworld aside there's nothing grabbing me by the balls, they've cancelled vinyl, not renewed true detective, scrapped a big Steve McQueen project, the leftovers is finishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Sad that they didn't renew True Detective. I'm probably the only person who feels that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The guy who plays Chole in the original True Detective has said that he wants reprise the role and has spoken to the TD writer about it. But obviously if that happens it will be while away yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) I really think if they'd have done the true detective series the other way round it would be considered the best thing on TV, it peaked in series 1, the problem with series 2 was it dipped but it was still pretty good, people just couldn't get over the dip and the writer has signed a deal with HBO just don't think it'll be TD3 Edited July 6, 2016 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First series is genuinely incredible. The second is a huge step down into bizarrely bland and messy telly that isn't necessarily bad but just miles from the standard of the first. Not a surprise they walked away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 First season was good but got progressively worse until the final episode was like a substandard episode of Dexter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 My opinion on True Detective S2 hasn't changed, which was that it was a fascinating setting, (some) interesting characters and several great set pieces but that the tissue connecting all that was very very thin. I'd have happily watched a third season, but never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I think 2nd season was trying to be a bit too clever than it really should have been. I had give up after 5 episodes or so as didnt feel was going anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt ever again you'll have shows like sopranos, the wire, curb your enthusiasm and six feet under all airing at the same time. Then came shows boardwalk empire, breaking bad, mad men ,deadwood. Rectify and especially twin peaks I dunno, while those shows you mention were the OG's and will always be regarded as such, there's some absolutely cracking TV about at the moment, some of which may be held in similar regard in time. The problem for me is, there is so much quality TV across all the different platforms, it's difficult to choose what to watch half the time. For me those shows have paved the way, but the golden age is only just getting started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 i agree just finished GoT, the flash, limitless, the people vs OJ, peaky blinders, last panthers, daredevil currently watching penny dreadful, Marco Polo, Orange is the new black, billions waiting for ballers, Luke cage, westworld,meow to get away with murder Then when you think there's the likes of the leftovers, narcos and making a murderer kicking about which are all excellent, I dont even watch the likes of Fargo, the tunnel, blacklist, the affair there might not be a contender for the best ever at the moment (although GoT ain't bad...) but there is a ridiculous amount of 8/10 stuff about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 6, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2016 True Detective S2 was let down by trying to be too complicated. I ended up having to read recaps after every episode to understand what the **** was happening. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't great, especially considering how good the first was. I'm sad they've not renewed it because Season 1 was fantastic, and if they could have gotten close to that again then it would have been great.
