What TV series are you watching at moment?

I choose to believe he's like christ and doesn't die at the end like everyone seems to believe. 

 

It wasn't supposed to be that he was just about to be whacked, maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. The point was that for the rest of his (potentially short) life, that uncertainty would always be there, he'd always be looking over his shoulder.

I can't believe they've never done a Sopranos spinoff, unless the creator still has the rights to the IP. Even ABC said they will eventually bring back LOST, like it or not.

 

I know a lot of main characters got killed off, but set it at the Bada Bing, and explore the workings of a mob run strip club in Jersey. It writes itself.

Mr. Robot S2EP10 - Good Episode. That last sequence was done just right. Like that Edward Hopper painting gone complete fubar. Should be a dandy final 2 episodes.

yeah, that's the only reasonable explanation of the ending. those autistic investigations (for example:https://masterofsopranos.wordpress.com/the-sopranos-definitive-explanation-of-the-end/) about how chase left many subtle clues that are supposed to prove that he did die are laughably stupid, it's like people didn't even watch the show and understood chase's style and intentions at all.

sounds horrible and would probably taint the quality of the original show irreparably

ABC/Disney only exists to leverage existing IP into exciting and extensible new entertainment platforms.

 

Edit: just pretend Boardwalk Empire was a prequel, Rubin.

I interpreted the ending as the feeling that YOU, the viewer has just died, and just like that, there is no closure. You wish you had more precious time. It's the kind of thing that makes it more than just a tv show and it jumps out of the screen and into your head.

a lot of US cultural imperialism in this fred, so to mix things oop......

 

a rare venture over to bbc3's content revealed their Dickensian-esque "Drugs Map of Britain"

 

nothing new to be learned except for just how much black-market valium/diazepam is in this cuntry

 

essentially poverty porn at its very worst, like drive-through despair, but with zero answers offered

Been catching up on the first season of Narcos, really good show.

Is the Eccleston season of Doctor Who worth watching? I liked the TV movie preceding it, and the 50th anniversary special with the War Doctor.

Rewatching Limmy's Show, not sure I'll ever tire of it.

BBC mockumentary comedy series called People Just Do Nothing.
It follows a little group of chavs from Brentford who run a pirate radio station for oldskool uk garage and jungle.

Totally fucking rips off loads of the office with brentisms all over the place but it's really fucking funny.
I'm a bit late to the show. It's already on season 3 but there aint many episodes in a season. I watched them all last night.

I dunno how well it would translate across the pond but anyone familiar with the scene will find it really funny.

i thought this show was going to be about sex in strange places but it's actually about how different societies around the world deal with (or alienate) sex workers. each episode is dedicated to a region: turkey, brasil and russia. 

 

despite the hosts best attempts at being sympathetic to the prostitutes and their clients, there was still a strange patronising tone to the whole show eg. when she goes outside some brothel in turkey and is asking all the men why they go there or the episode in brasil when she's interviewing transsexual prostitutes in rio and when one obviously has a 'very bad encounter' she asks her "so how was it?" 

i guess the fact that she left with a man and returned only minutes later with tears running down her face wasn't a big enough clue that it wasn't a good time. 

 

i like the host though, just not in a professional way (if you know what i mean)

[doublename]

She's a really poor host all round.

re-People Just Do Nothing, it treads that fine line between patronizing snobbery and some proper lols fairly succinctly, even if it doesnt always get it right every episode. The young cast/writers satirizes the whole MC/DJ realm with too many acute observations to list here & almost takes you back to the early KISS FM days with Paul T-T-T-T-Trouble Anderson et al.

 

The Great British Menu - fuck off please, complete BBC Tristram-guff overload. Pureed lettuce? Cant lettuce just be mate? My kid bro will occasionally blast em on a griddle which kinda works, but........

 

Also, its a bad omen when even advanced telly avoidance negates knowing that The Great British Bake Off is switching to C4. Sue Perkins is a bit of gay crush doe, so hypocrisy all round.

 i can understand pureeing the more bitter lettuces maybe for a soup, but yes it does sound rather silly. I think cooking took a wrong turn when they started making emulsions containing odd ingredients pureed that they drizzle over carefully stacked towers on the diner's plate.

Atlanta - Thoroughly enjoyed this series so far. We've seen similar themes explored before, but it's done right. Nice mix of drama and comedy. I'll give it a few more episodes before I deem it my favorite new show, but it's trending that way.
