Television, drug of the nation

^It is shockingly good but thats Hugo Blick for you.
Maggie Gyllenhaal has this impeccable English accent.
I am in awe.
Stephen Rea is shit hot as well.
Andrew Buchan has had some shit for this but I can't fault him either.
Bring on the last episode I say, let's have some fun.
Kicks the piss out of (3 episodes per year) Sherlock or Luther or whatever else from UK.

Honourable woman has been good, but hard to feel much emotional attachment to some of the characters.

Really enjoyed season 2 of Utopia, it has so many little flourishes like the musical motifs, use of colour and other nuances.

^I think it's because they are pretty much all cunts that you can't attach to them emotionally.
Were you hoping for a hug?

I've found The Honourable Woman profoundly irritating and earnest. It really is pleased with itself. And slow, Jesus, if they didn't spend so much time on lingering shots of vases or cups of coffee or other twaddle that is meant to add mood and significance they could have got through it in four episodes.
Stephen Rea is pretty good but the main character is so dull, she's the least interesting person in the story. I don't know if it is the effort of doing the English accent that makes her speak in such an understated, drippy and monotonous way or if that is just what passes for 'good acting'. She's insufferable.
It's not as meretricious as the West Wing (but then what is?) though it's not far behind.

^You just don't like her hair, you racist.

Fucking West Wing, I've never even seen it.

Does anyone know where a subtitled series of Gomorrah might be found?

Ep1 was great, and then everything went back to Italian, with Italian subtitles.

Learn Italian? You lazy fucker.

Fucking lozzles

Makes it hard for me to take some football fans seriously.

It's all on Sky Go At the moment, but I guess that probably doesn't help you. I haven't seen it either but will have a mammoth session over the next week or so.

one of the most arseclenchingly stressful nights on the sofa in my life last night. GBBO has become the new GoT and the mid-season final of TWD, which is now super good again.

"They're fucking with the wrong bakers"
would be a good quote for something, maybe.
I had to google GBBO.

Is this a euph?:

"Bearded cook threw his pudding in the bin"

po-faced-WI-saboteur-hag takes beardy-martian-dawn-hipster-king's baked alaska out of freezer causing it to turn into soup - gingernuts flounces - Film at eleven.

Television gold!

Started The Bridge series 2 on Monday and finished it last night.

WHAT? I really don't know what to make of the finale.

SOMEONE TELL ME HOW l'M SUPPOSED TO FEEL

Confused.

and shouty.

OK good because that's how I feel.

Woohoo, James Corden got Craig Ferguson's job.

“James Corden is a rare entertainment force who combines irresistible charm, warmth, and originality with a diverse range of creative instincts and performance talent,” -CBS Chief, Nina Tassler.

Good luck with that, Murica

Bojack Horseman was pretty good.

So what do you guys think of the strain? Have you heard about it?

Its an FX series from the book trilogy of the same name by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan.

Watched the first 5 or so, acting is a bit dodgy in places but it's OK overall.

Has anyone watched Nathan For You? I have no idea how he stays in character half the time.

the strain. got past first 5 episodes than gave up. no likeable characters, awful script, unoriginal creature design. looks like it's trying to cash in on the popularity of shows like 'the walking dead'with half the budget and talent.

I think that's Z Nation, I've downloaded the pilot but not watched it yet, although it sounds remarkably like what you just described. If there is moar zombies and less whining then I'm sold.
