I like it, the straight laced chief and his assistant especially. I generally can't stand the main dude but he's good in this too.

I like Andy Samberg. He plays the barely likeable idiot well. I have a massive crush on the tough chick.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I can't watch sitcoms anymor . I need to relearn this.

Well, Archer. Does that count?

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I like to binge watch sitcoms when I'm hungover

Bob's Burgers anyone? So far quite good.

Yeah it's great. Every voice in it is perfect.

The Walking Dead. It got a bit boring after season 2. Same old, same old. But its decent enough. I like some of the characters, though not yer man from Love Actually.

Big fan

Anyone started Bojack Horseman? 1 episode in, not sure, a lot of the jokes are cheap and fall flat, even though I love Will Arnott. I did laugh a lot at the fact that penguin publishing was run by actual penguins though. That's my kind of humour.

Watched all of Happy Valley over the last couple of weeks. Over rated series.

I watched it after a strong recomendation from a couple of friends who said that it started off slow but got better. I actually thought it was good from the off but lost momentum in the later episodes, but perhaps you'd feel the same way as them. It's very dark for a cartoon.

There's a few nice touches with the anthropomorphised characters, they're not just people who happend to be animals, there's enough of them reacting to things like animals do to make it not just a gimmick.

Also, fuck Mr Peanutbutter.

Anyone watching Transparent? Could be interesting but the ads make it look like every crappy American indie film of the last ten years condensed into one touchy feely indie schmindie TV show. Plaintive folk rock soundtrack – check, cute kids – check, emoting and pain – check, white middle class people and their issues – check. I’d watch anything with Jeffery Tambor in it though

I'm gonna give this a go.

I like the premise - "Well, if you're gonna be you, I'm gonna be me" kinda thing.

I found it very forced - lost interest after about four episodes.

Yeah I fall between both of these, watched a few more episodes and just not overly taken. Love the animation though

A few weeks ago we decided to give breaking bad a go. Yea it's great but we're about 4 episodes into season 5 and it has gone downhill big time. I get the impression that the first 4 series were planned out and now it's just struggling on because someone somewhere is making a load of money.

Also the lads have taken out the IT Crowd box set again and are watching it for the 4th time.

Am I the only Irish person alive that doesn't care for Graham Linehan?

Am I the only Irish person alive that doesn't care for Graham Linehan?

I think he’s a good writer but seems like a wanker from his Twitter account

 

[hermie]

Am I the only Irish person alive that doesn't care for Graham Linehan?

Father Ted, Black Books, Ted and Ralph in the Fast Show, Big Train, The IT Crowd. I would say so, yes.

 

[nooleen]

seems grand from his twitter, mostly retweets and mild sarcasm any time i've looked at it

 

[Lili Marlene]

Father Ted, Black Books, Ted and Ralph in the Fast Show, Big Train, The IT Crowd. I would say so, yes.

@7 - No tomorrow is still very proud to have never seen Father Ted. It's a badge of honour.

Graham Linehan is part of the twitter mafia though, along with Caitlin Moran and the like. There's something not quite right about it all.
