What TV series are you watching at moment?

[Boxus]

I just finished a BBC 3 series called "Flowers" that is on the streaming service "SeeSo".

It was one of the most brilliant and moving stories i have ever seen told through a visual medium.

I couldn't recommend it more highly. It stars Julian Barratt AKA Howard Moon of the Mighty Boosh.

 

I haven't watched this but I've been watching a lot of the stuff on seeso. I like Jonah Ray's mock-travel show Hidden America, and loved Matt Besser's special Besser Breaks the Record. There's some decent stand-up shows on there. I'm interested to see what other new stuff pops up on seeso.

Watching new season of South Park. Wasn't crazy about the first episode but the second was solid. Will be cool to see where they're gonna go with this story.

Yeah, the second episode was very good. The whole election thing in the first one didn't work at all.

the Keith Richard's/BBC late night weekender was good fun, i can watch n listen to the olde insaniac's anecdotes all night

 

loads of Spike Milligan's "Q" sketches, cartoons, interviews, insights & more....quite a rare treat for a pretty staid broadcaster well assisted by Julian Temple

 

 

Quarry was so-so, could go either way

[caze]

Thought the first episode of Quarry was quite good, always good to see Peter Mullan in anything, and the main guy was much better than he was in Prometheus, where he was really annoying. Looks like it'll be a good deal more subtle than the trashy (but enjoyable) nonsense of Banshee, though Buddy looks like he'll provide a touch of that flavour to the show (he was great in Justified). It looked great, they nicely ramped up tension through the episode, and the music was excellent as well.

wtf was with the ending of Vice Principals?  I was expecting a real season finale, who does 9 episode seasons??

[TubularCorporation]

Baywatch Nights Season 2, and it's amazing. Hasselhoff is a lifeguard who deals with supernatural, X Files style monster of the week scenarios and is obviously drunk.

That's normal for a new cable show. Breaking Bad S1 was seven episodes.

Interrogation scene with little girl / C64 / fish was the highlight of Mr. Robot season 2. I would love to see more of this kind of cerebral stuff.

 

I could care less about homg super-realistic hacks and the extended Tyler Durden shtick has become very tedious.

usually pilot + 8 

[Rubin Farr]

Doesn't HBO usually do 10 episode seasons? 12 eps are Showtime, and 13 is FX, 14 is AMC. Like they're trying to trademark those numbers lol.

[doublename]

HBO has deviated from that a few times w/ Girls and Boardwalk Empire.

The Following - 9/10 (surprisingly)

[doublename]

I'm stunned

Dear God no!

Sound amazing. Will try to watch it drunk some day.

[caze]

The Following is definitely entirely terrible, but I did manage to extract some amount of perverse pleasure from watching it. The main antagonist also has to be one of the least scary fictional psychopaths ever to be captured on screen.

[LimpyLoo]

I guess I must just have horrible taste...oh well

[LimpyLoo]

Actually, I AM really bad at rating things

It's either 9/10 or 0/10 with me

[caze]

I mean, I did watch every season of it. But it was terrible.

[doublename]

Emotionally stunted investigator vs brilliant psychopath serial killer is the worst TV genre.

[LimpyLoo]

If you say so

[doublename]

I literally do.

 

edit - The Worst.
