Oh and any excuse to post this

Second paintball episode.

Again Bravo.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

The Newsroom Season 2

Jesus..I'm hanging on by a fingernail..It's dropped some of the more annoying tropes of season one and added whole new ones.

Don and Olivia Munn are the only remaining likeable characters, but this being Sorkin she has to be a stupid ditsy girl at least twice an episode.
Please have Alison Pill's character run over by a bus (perhaps a Sex in The City tour bus!), Jesus what a terrible character.
I give even less of a shit this year about the two central love stories than I did last year, and they were tiresome as hell last year...
Sam Waterstone is great, it's a shame his character is such a paper thin caricature of an old soak newspaperman.

but fuck, I don't think it's worth the struggle.

Really? I love it. Jeff Daniels is reason enough to watch.

 

[Unicron]

I kinda agree with @Mormon Nailer but I keep watching.

It's basically every Sorkin show ever. And the Donna in this one is a massive pain.

It's so clumsy it's actually making me reassess the West Wing .... and I fucking looooooooove the West Wing.

That siad, I'm still online immmediately after it airs on Sunday night waiting for a torrent.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I watched the first episode of Peaky Blinders over the weekend. It wasn't bad. Heavily influenced by US dramas, Boardwalk Emipre in particular. It looked great, they made Birmingham in the 1900s look like a post apocalyptic hellscape and was very well acted. The script was a bit heavy handed in comparison to its US counterparts.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

If it gets better, let me know.

Just finished S3 of The (US) Killing, which was better than the first two series, only to discover it's been cancelled by AMC.

Peter Sarsgaard was great in it.

I'm going to stick with it. The first episode showed a lot of potential. One thing that bugged me was the casting. Now all the actors in it are great, don't get me wrong, but the casting made no sense to me - they got an Irishman to play a Brummie, a Kiwi to play an Nordie and a Brit to play an Irish woman. The accents are all over the place.

After watching the original I & II, I found one episode of the US version completely annoying. I hated the main character. I love Peter Sarsgaard though and I never saw Season three. Should I attempt it?

Yeah it would probably work as a standalone series... it ties into stuff from a prior case that's frequently referred to, but not shown, in S1 & S2.

I enjoyed the US version but I've never seen the original so i dunno how it compares, storyline-wise.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

The original is great stuff. Well, I only saw the first season.

Loved it.

mixed emotions here. I heard it had been cancelled but I wasn't aware they'd made a third series (I thought it was cancelled before they got a chance).

I thought the first too series were great. Will grab this over the next couple of days.

 

[Anthony]

watched episode 1 of "the man who made us fat". Sort of maddening.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

I watched it late last night.
I'll watch it again before comitting to a verdict but

Spoiler

Don and Olivia Munn....yayyy...about time
