Without torrenting where can I get it? I watched a lot of the first season on planes last summer in your neck of the woods.Quote:

Watched "Moone Boy" last week when I got back and was sleepless in Strogino. Laughed a lot, liked the main character and just thought it was a lovely little comedy.
Enjoyed the first series of Veep and caught 1 episode of The Americans when I was home, but it's a bit too stereotyped, plus they had a backdrop of the CS Cathedral in Moscow, which, at the time the series is set, was a public swimming pool. Best movie about sleeper agents starred one River Phoenix, Little Nikita.

That Alison Brie is in it makes it better.
That she exists makes the world a glorious place.
I watched the first 10 episodes and they are very good. But after the talk of the Paintball episode back in the yonder of this thread I just had to skip to it. Classic TV. I haven't laughed at something like that in a long time.
Community is an absolutely fantastic show, but you just have to watch the paintball episodes. A lot of the rest doesn't make sense without it.
Beware season 3.
Watched season 5 & 6 of skins over the last couple of weeks. A bit patchy at times but better than the previous generation overall I thought. Season 7 is going to be the last and it goes back to characters from the first two generations, Effy, Cook and Cassie and how their lives have moved on. It's due to start in July and should be worth catching.
Also up to date on Breaking Bad. What a great cliffhanger to leave it on, the last few episodes should be unmissable stuff.
Into season 4 of Sons of Anarchy. Very good, although the Irish accents were hard work (even from some of the Irish actors!)!
The Walking Dead Season 3 starts on RTE tonight I reccomend it quite highly!
The new Season of Luther Starts on BBC1 tonight at 9pm
dammit. missed itQuote:

Finished watching 'Band of Brothers' the other evening after a mid-series interruption caused by degree-work overload. It's a truly excellent series. Damian Lewis is fantastic in it. Might check out 'The Pacific', the follow-up, as well.
Also completed the first season of 'The Americans' a while back and definitely enjoyed it. I think I saw on the RTÉ website that they're showing it at the minute.
Up to date with Sons of Anarchy. Definitely recommend it, although it is a little predictable imo.
Just got into Parks and Recreation. Very good comedy :)
So, I've finally gotten round to watching The Sopranos and watched the first episode last night. Thoroughly looking forward to the long haul.
First season is tough but it comes inot it's own eventually.Quote:

Absolutely brilliant show with some class characters. The addition of Taylor Schilling is an obvious bonus.
Episodes 11, 12 and 13 tonight and then I’ve nothing left to view.
Back to Breaking Bad I guess.
Halfway through series 2 of Love/Hate. What is up with Mayor Carcetti's accent?
I'm really looking forward to Breaking Bad next week.......predictions for the series?
SPOILER: So hard to predict Breaking Bad. Just have to hope they can maintain the brilliance and provide a satisfactory conclusion. Have a feeling Walt will die alone, having been responsible, either directly or indirectly, for the death of his family, the very thing he set out to protect in the first place.
Oh and Hank to have an Elvis moment on the jax!
Spoiler tags don't seem to work. Don't think I'm giving too much away.
Started looking at Breaking Bad due to some good recommendations from a few friends. Have to say the first two series were excellent, with great acting and really great TV, but just finished series 3 and like Macy am scratching my head at how silly it got. The Fly episode was a non story and there are way too many stupid coincidences. But many here told Macy to stick with it so i will soldier on - unlike Lost, The Walking Dead and Homeland where I gave up after a while. Better be right, as it takes a good while to go through a series!:DQuote:

Holy ****...it's the best show ever...apart from The Wire.Quote:

It's not the Wire, but it's damn good, and light years ahead of most of what's on the Box.Quote:

Yes but I think the first two seasons were so good, that i felt season three had some filler, still good but....Quote:

The last few episodes have been brilliant. The Ozymandias episode, which was last week's, is outstanding. Last night's episode just slowed things down a bit and set up what should be a truly epic finale. Hopefully it won't feel too rushed, there's a lot to be tied up, so far the show has kept surprising people and there's bound to be at least one more big twist, I just hope they can end it in a satisfying way.
This has been one of the best seasons of television ever. Have to watch this weeks episode tonight but so far been absolutely unbelievable watching.
I've just started season 3!
AGH!
Some outstanding sitcoms about at the minute. Sky Atlantic has the second series of the brilliant Veep, and Stephen Merchant's cringingly good Hello Ladies, both on tonight. Really liked Mitchell & Webb's political satire The Ambassadors which is just over. Haven't got around to starting on Man Down yet (but I see it's already been commissioned for a second run). Or Drifters. Or Yonderland, from the Horrible Histories cast, all nicely stacking up on the Plus.
Pick of the bunch though is Toast Of London on Channel 4 Sunday nights. Insanely brilliant. Matt Berry in increasingly ridiculous situations, brilliant character names (Clem Fandango, Kikini Bamalaam), the most awful puns ("he changed his name to Chris Bread" "Crispbread?"), and suddenly turning into a musical each episode for no adequately explained reason. Four shows down, hopefully two more at least to catch before the run ends, well worth it if you do!
Generation War starts on RTE2 this Sunday(17th November) at 9pm. Look good like a german band of brothers

Finished up Breaking Bad over the weekend. Absolutely brilliant TV. The last 8 episodes are up there with any piece of TV made in my opinion.
The best part about finishing Breaking Bad is knowing that the spoilers are not an issue anymore.
