What television series are you currently making your way through? (4 Viewers)

[david jatt]

recently finished watching "underbelly", a gripping aussie crime drama based on an actual ten year mob war in melbourne. the first couple of episodes might suggest a low rent version of the sopranos but it becomes a very good series. it starts tonight at ten on F/X.

After recovering from a month of intensive obsession with The Wire, (an astonishing achievement of a show), I finished off the full run of The Larry Sanders Show the other night, which makes me sad. Absolutely fantastic programme. The big three (Sanders, Hank and Artie) are some of the best comic characters on television ever. Absolute travesty it's never been properly released on DVD.

Also have worked my way through all the episodes of Outnumbered broadcast thus far. It's a lovely little show. A sitcom on BBC1 with proper laugh out loud moments, great performances and no end of charm? Shocker. It's great, unassuming, unpretentious stuff. And the 6 year old daughter is absolutely fantastic, the undoubted star of the show. The fact that the kids largely improvise their lines is amazing.

Next on the downloaded but not yet watched list: A load of Mr. Show episodes, the remainder of Freaks and Geeks and The Corner, which has loads of the Wire actors in it, and thus feels very strange.

Going through the Sopranos from scratch again, which is a joy.
Only now latched on to Life on Mars, and I'd imagine it has its fair share of detractors but I think it's great!

Well I just finished The Wire S1. I'm very slow on the uptake.
I went ahead and Wikipedia'd the feck out of Baltimore, 2nd highest per capita murder rate in the US mother fuckers.

Anyway, yeah. starting on S2. I'm hooked I guess.

 

[Lili Marlene]

oh yeah I watched Mad Men Series 1 and enjoyed it a lot more than the Wire series 1

 

[Jelly_Block]

Season 40 of Coronation Street. When downhill after season 4 methinks.

God I wrecked The Wire for myself by going and reading about it before I had it all watched.

By the end of S5 you'll be reading the Baltimore Sun website like the rest of us washed up Wire junkies with nothing left to amuse us.

 

[classic seanc]

Thanks for the warning skrankio. You're good police.

 

[Pram Stroker]

oh yeah I watched Mad Men Series 1 and enjoyed it a lot more than the Wire series 1

You should move on to Sex & The City next, you'd loooooove it.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Just watched 1 and 2 of the Unit, in preparation for getting S3 this week.

A handfull of coloured filters and you can make californa pass for everything from russain mountains to the serengetti

[Ferox13]

Just finished THE SHIELD...now that that its over theres an empty void in me I think The Wire was prolly a better written series but The Shield was such an over the top roller coaster..I loved it..

Sons of Anarchy just finished up. Completely unrealistic trash but I still kinda liked it..

Making my way thru ROME again with my GF. Going to watch DEADWOOD with her after that...

Still watching an episode of the Tomorrow People before I go to work in the morning..

I just got THRILLER - the entire series and my mate just brought me back THE HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR. So I've a lot to get thru there.

 

[therealjohnny]

Just finished Deadwood

Real shame it's over though the third series was a bit hit and miss I reckon- too much time given to those annoying theatre people, not enough Swearingen. And Sheriff Bullock's permanent cartoon angry face got very annoying .

 

[xsteox]

The Venture brothers series 2 &3. still delivers, must watch series one tonight.|..|

 

[david jatt]

series 1 of spooks. quite slick and enjoyable with a pretty gruesome end for a major character in the second episode.

 

[Gambra]

Series 1 of Battlestar Galactica. It's pretty great TV.

 

[seanface]

lads, i only have season 5 of the wire left to go. I'm gonna be lost without it

 

[I Bleed Black]

Arrested Development at the moment, can't get enough of it. Buster is definitely getting the most lol moments.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Dunno what to class short films as but since most of them are shorter than your average 40 minute tv show i'll put it in here

it's amazing how much funnier and more clever the stuff he directs is than Fatty Arbuckle's, actually lolling rather than simply being impressed by the physical comedy

I hope this is all ok with user: pram stroker
