Stevie_J Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yep. Concerned it will struggle to stay good for eight episodes though. I'm about 6 episodes into this. Started well but :censored: me, it's slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagger Lee Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Breaking Bad I've just started Breaking Bad. A series about a Chemistry teacher who gets diagnosed with lung cancer so in order to provide for his family and because he has nothing to lose starts making crystal meth. Really good. That's on my radar big time. About 6 or 7 people have all told me it's the best thing they've ever ever watched. That's a fair measure of it being at least half decent.Tonight though, I'm watching The Help I think. Very late to this party but I got the boxed set for Xmas - loving it. A rare show that has both me and the wife enthralled and talking about characters / plots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Should finish Ascension tonight, acting is appalling - but the story is okay; looking forward to Fortitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Should finish Ascension tonight, acting is appalling - but the story is okay; looking forward to Fortitude. Fortitude looks really good. I've got a funny feeling it will be utter dogshut though How does Christopher Ecclestone keep getting acting jobs?

Matt Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Should finish Ascension tonight, acting is appalling - but the story is okay; After reasonable early promise, me and the wife tore the last episode to :censored:ing shreds. First episode was fine - great little cliff hanger that certainly took me by surprise (the missus worked it out early doors), second part is just filler that really didn't progress the story much, the final part is just an absolute mess. I don't know if anybody watched it either on SyFy of Sky over the last few weeks, however there are a few 'how did he get there?' and 'who the hell is that?' moments that are so amazingly bad at papering over the plot holes that it spoils what could have been an interesting story. Funny thing about it is, it's so bad we're hoping that the second series gets the green light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yes, dog:censored: as predicted (Or dogshut) Utter drivel aside from the landscape, although I thought you may continue with it just as appreciation for the early fate of Eccleston, who was horrendous even in his brief cameo... Has anybody on here watched Mad Men? I'd recommend it very highly for people who aren't bothered about explosions and that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Has anybody seen Fortitude on Sky Atlantic..? Yes, it's not bad - intriguing, claustrophobic, isolated, and unnerving. Reminds me of Twin Peaks - it's not Twin Peaks by any stretch, however it's worth staying with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I started watching MadMen - it was alright but could've done with a few explosions IMHO opinion I too love, absolutely love Mad Men even though not much happens and it is mostly set in an office and I spend most of my time in one of those. I think I just love the whole look of the show, some of the characters are great, when I grow up I want to be Roger Sterling - he has some fantastic lines and scenes. I also long for the day when I can have a drinks cabinet in my office and just get stuck in to it when I feel like it. I'm going to save up Better Call Saul till we can watch all of it in a couple of sittings. I loved him in Breaking Bad so am really excited about this.

NewBlue Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Mad Men really is the pinnacle of series-writing. Such an intricate story for each character and so many subtle references to the time that it's set. Goes just at the right pace as well. It's really genius. Better Call Saul first episode was above expectations. Kind of funny in the BB sort of way and the return of a couple of interesting characters. Has the potential to be a pretty decent spin-off. The start bit in black and white was a strange one though, I thought! Had to check my screen was working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I suppose I'd better finish watching Breaking Bad at some point. Still need to finish the final season of The Sopranos as well. :censored:'s sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
