TV Series

I used to enjoy it but its turned to shit. What is the point of those sisters from Yarkshire who just repeat what the other just said. The boring couple in the cottage are no better; she is heavily medicated and just sits their blankly, and the Mancunian rottweiler people dont bring too much to it either unfortunately

The yorkshire pair annoy me almost as much as the "ya get me" woman. The Blonde one says something only for the other to agree and repeat. Infuriating to watch, couldn't imagine being around her in real life. Quite like the mancunian family, the dad comes out with the odd belter. Agree it's gone stale and appears scripted nowadays, the only one worth watching is the old scouse guy.
 
I would, yeah.

If you can look past the 'slightly b*ll*cks' parts, the writing standard in general, is quite high for something trying to be light.

And yeah, I love 'Mike' and 'Ike' too! Haha!

I'm enjoying Limitless also. Problem I have with it is the same problem I have with a lot of US shows in that you have to fight through those inevitable filler episodes to get to the ones that you are really interested in (the Eddie Morra stuff for me). Tis what it it though when they have to knock a 22 or 24 episode run together.

True dat. Despite my moaning I did have it on for 5 mins before I crashed out last night, and the fat orange Geordie girl did my head in with her obvious craving for airtime, and true to form the dosed up cottage woman appeared catatonic again. Turned it straight off. Shame, used to be good easy viewing. Now it is just on the list of stuff that makes me want to put my foot through the telly. Thank fuck for Kodi
 
Watched the first two pilots of lost. It actually seems okay, but considering I know the ending, is it worth persisting with?
It's bizarre. We watched the first series and a half as a Sky Box set then they removed it!! It's ok but I'd give it a miss if I were you. The Bridge and The Killing were far better.

Ah!! Now, here's the problem!

If the writers just focused on the 'Eddie Morra', it would make the show super serious and a '24' kind of get up. When I caught wind of this show happening, I thought it would be some espionage b*ll*cks we've had 10 times over. The fact that there's a slacker-NZT'd-genius dumped in the middle of serious FBI guys, taking the p*ss, makes it great! 'Finch' is tongue-in-cheek about himself and everyone else and it makes the show more watch-able for when the dark times come.

For me, it's balanced very very well.
 
100 Code on on Sky Atlantic.

A good Swedish police drama. About 50% or more English, the rest is Swedish dubbed.

Not a bad storyline at all, well worth a look if you're into sadistic and believable murders and murder scenarios..

I do like Finch (dont know who the kid is, but great choice for the part) and completely agree there is plenty enough humour to balance out the serious stuff (the serial killer episode recently is a great example). Hopefully they have some more cracking stuff written to keep the interest (EM 'giving a speech' episode was top notch I thought) I just fear it might go off the boil like so many yank procedurals tend to do.

I'm all in at the moment though.

I'm enjoying it although i very nearly swerved it when the subtitles started
