Paulie: I can't stand touching my fucking shoelaces. Ever go to tie your shoes and you notice the end of your laces are wet? Come on, why would they be wet?

Silvio: I've got no fucking idea.

Paulie: You go in the public bathrooms. You stand at the urinals...

Hesh: Oh fuck. Come on will ya.

Paulie: He's asking me and I'm telling him and frankly it's important. Even if the laces dry and even if you don't touch the body of the show, bacteria and virus migrate from the sole up.

Been watching Danish series called The Legacy (Auvingerne or something) - it's pretty good so far

 

[rettucs]

watching Louie (louis ck) on US netflix. Its hilarious

 

[Anthony]

The lads have discovered Moone Boy. It's pretty good once you get into it.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I watched the first episode of Welcome to Sweden but it was on the Swedish Netflix so the Swedish bits had no subtitles. Hurray.

Watched the pilot episode of The Man In The High Castle and thought it was very good. Unfortunately, no other episodes exist yet.

I’m watching Banshee. Trashy but fun thriller about an ex con posing as a dead sherrif in an Amish town. This is all T&A, heads getting blown to bits and requires a lot of suspension of disbelief.

It is my absolute guiltiest of guilty pleasure TV, the producers do not give a solitary fuck about anyone's idea of acceptable good taste or sensibilities.

It's like a Van Damme movie for an hour each week, trashy good fun. How deep into it are you?

Started watching Luther last night, I've heard mixed things about it but I thought the first episode was quite good.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I dip in and out of Banshee. It's fun but not something I need to follow every week. My wife loves it.

 

[pete]

The Last Man On Earth. Funny. Very funny in places.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Giving Peaky Blinders another shot. There’s all these compelling, action packed, beautifully shot scenes which they then ruin by putting the White Stripes over them. Baffling. Cillian Murphy is terrific in it though.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Season 2 of Peaky Blinders is a vast improvement on season 1 in every way possible. The first episode alone is better than the whole of season 1. Still a few niggly issues with anachronistic music and shitty accents but they have ironed out most of the storytelling and stylistic issues and have really fleshed out the characters. Terrific stuff.

Currently filling in the gaps on Louis as well.

Anyone watching this Broad City? Loads of mates going nuts about it so downloaded the first season.

Edit: duh Broad City | thumped.com

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Should I watch:
Better Call Saul
or
Peaky Blinder?

 

[hugh]

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmitt - new Tina Fey- written thing. Something decent enough on Netflix.

Review with Forrest MacNeill

New-ish Comedy Central series. Andy Daly plays a mild-mannered TV show host who has to partake in and review extreme life experiences suggested by his viewers (e.g. taking cocaine, eating 30 pancakes, being racist).. Daly's a very funny guy that I knew from improv comedy podcasts, I'm glad he's found a decent TV vehicle. The execution doesn't always match the great concept but it starts to pick up around 3 episodes in when the negative consequences of his review experiences start to pile up and seriously affect his personal life. There's a layer of artificiality to it which you seemingly have to suspend disbelief for (i.e. his family and friends are apparently unaware what Forrest does for a living, because they're always shocked when he starts acting out-of-character during one of his reviews.. maybe this gets explained in a later episode). Worth giving a look I reckon.

 

[Unicron]

I really like that

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Should I watch:
Better Call Saul
or
Peaky Blinder?

both? there's not been that many episodes of either
