I thought I'd hate it too until I gave it a chance. Everybody Loves Raymond truly is unwatchable though.

Now that I can agree with. Only Eastenders or The Only Way is Made in Geordie Shore has me diving for the remote faster

I'm in that new laptop/going legit phase.

Halfway through House of Cards. It's excellent, slick. Kate Mara is a fine sort.

I'm sure it's not too late to get help and mend your ways.
Then again, you german groupies do have your strange ways, fearful of authority and want to be seen to be obedient (on the surface).

In most places in Europe 1930's onwards there were varying elements of anti semitism, but for the most part it was only in those countries that Germany occupied was antisemitism empowered to extreme levels of violent hate. The film makers sort of evaded that little detail and presented german antisemitism as if it was just a bit player in the game of widespread antisemitism at that time,. They went further than that when it came to the polish resistance, they sought to portray the polish resistance as worse anti semites than the germans themselves. Well, history doesn't support that. Polish resistance in WW2 was a mixed bag. The leader of the polish resistance got himself interred in Auschwitz to document what went on and send the evidence to the Allied command.

When it came to the Polish resistance we were treated to a very good debate re the morality of resistance actions considering the heavy weight the reprisals by the occupiers but no such very good debate when it came to Jews, it appears all Poland were more anti semite than the Germans themselves.

TBH I don't think is showed the Polish resistance to be overly anti-semitic, there was a lot of ant-semetisim right across europe and the world at that time just the Nazi's took it to the extremes that we all know about

That was Thom Yorke's nickname in school.

Am recording it, watched the first episode last night and yeah, it did enough to get me interested alright. Seems to be getting a bit of interest. BBC4 doing some good European scouting the last few years to be fair.

**BonnieShels** · 22/02/2014, 10:55 PM

Started watching The Good Wife. Lethal.

Juliana Margulies has aged spectacularly well.

**CraftyToePoke** · 24/02/2014, 5:13 PM

I've been mulling that myself, caught an episode & it did look decent, how many series in is it ? Am I looking at a mammoth catch up here ?

**Eminence Grise** · 24/02/2014, 8:35 PM

In its fifth season now, so about 100 episodes in all. Once you get into it - and it won't take long - you won't want to stop. Agree with Bonnie about Julianna Margulies, but - my-oh-my - Archie Panjabi/Kalinda is an excellent reason for tuning in!

**Neish** · 25/03/2014, 10:09 AM

Nordic drama Mammon starts on More4 on friday at 9pm. Sounds like mix between the Killing & The girl with Dragon Tatooo

Just downloaded the full season tonight, going to get my mitts into it tomorrow. Very much looking forward to it, as I've heard nothing but good reports thus far.
