Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Been rewatching series 1 of The Shield on Virgin Media TV XL, I'll likely end up going through the series again.
Planning to pick up series 2 of Boardwalk Empire tomorrow, only just got into it a few months ago, it's yet another "drop everything and watch it" show for me.
Nucky Thompson For The Win.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Looking forward too watching GOT season one again but will have to hold off till season two is coming out on blu ray to watch them together just before season three starts. Have read all the books, butJaySevenZero wrote:Recently re-watched both Firefly and Serenity (best ever sci-fi/western mash-up!) gonna make a start watching Game of Thrones (best ever violent fantasy with nudity!) from the very beginning once again as it's simply too damn long before series three starts.
Love the TV adaptions.
As for Serenity/Firefly, I'm just hoping that after Avengers 2 makes a ridiculous amount of money so that the studios give joss the freedom to make the sequel that we are all crying out for.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Yeah I'm eagerly awaiting series 2 of Game Of Thrones on DVD, I don't watch stuff online so if I miss the TV version it's "wait for the DVD" time. Having loved series one when I watched it this year, I bought and read all the books back to back. Can definitely see why Book 3 will be spilt into Series 3 and 4, there's so much action in Book 3 that one Series could never do it justice.
Really need to rewatch Firefly/Serenity someday, bloody brilliant series.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
I've just started reading Dance With Dragons and by the end of season 2 on tv,
Three quarters through season 6 of Dexter and it's good in places (Brother Sam/Faith) but I'm finding the main killers thing quite weak.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Yeah I struggled a bit with Dexter to be honest. I rented series 1 from lovefilm, got halfway through series 2 but then just lost interest. I don't like Dexter as a character, it's hard to like a mass murderer that gets through his actions more or less scot-free.
Sure, Vic Mackey, Tony Soprano, Walter White and Nucky Thompson are no saints either. But they all had something about them where you cared about what happens to them. Dexter I just don't.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Yeah not liking Dexter would hamper your enjoyment a bit! . I've loved every season and I've been expecting them to fall off a some point and think this series might be it.
Looking forward to the season finale of falling skies tomorrow.

It's been stated since last season, that 5 is the end.Roy42 wrote: But are we really so close to the end? Unless it's been confirmed that this is the last season or that AMC has yet to renew it for more seasons,
One more episode before a break, then 8 more to wrap it up.
Have you actually been watching the most recent episodes? Walt, for someone who has up until recently, been obsessed with trying to cover tracks has been getting rather messy.Roy42 wrote:it doesn't seem like it has any intention of winding down in five more episodes.
Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
I watched a documentary called The Bridge which was about the 24 people who committed suicide in 2004 by jumping of The Golden Gate Bridge!
It would be fair to say that it was Heavy and Heartbreaking stuff but it did highlight just how many tormented souls there are out there, Seeing both family and friends interviewed followed by real life footage of them jumping of the bridge is pretty powerful but the documentary never judged the people for what they did merely just observed the reasons why there life's had hit so low.

Don't particularly appreciate the rude tone there.RoboticMonk3y wrote: Have you actually been watching the most recent episodes?
EDIT: Now that I have actually seen the latest episode, I will admit that I can see it ending by the end of the season.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
I saw The Bridge in the cinema. Genuinely harrowing.
I remember joking with my brother afterwards (to lighten the mood obviously) that it could have been amusing if some slightly confused Chelsea fans had to turned up to the screening.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
3 episodes in to series 2 of Boardwalk Empire, yet another quality show I'd highly recommend. The only negative for me is thanks to some dickhead in Empire magazine, I already know about the death of a main character. The same motherfucker also happily spoils deaths in Game Of Thrones Series 1.
So yeah, fuck him.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Man, I thought Empire would be decent about that kind of stuff.
Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Yeah I watched this on Netflix a couple of months ago. The weird subject matter along side the quite tranquil ambient soundtrack made for quite bizarre but serene viewing. Strange experience, and incredibly powerful.mikeleddy83 wrote:Ghost World wrote:I watched a documentary called The Bridge which was about the 24 people who committed suicide in 2004 by jumping of The Golden Gate Bridge!

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
There's a Single 'Spoilers' notice in the top right hand corner of the first page of the "Top 20 Must See Shows" feature, but I missed it. Really there should have been a "seriously be careful" on the front of the article.dezm0nd wrote:Man, I thought Empire would be decent about that kind of stuff.
Turns out it was written by Nick De Semlyen. Dickhead.
Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
I love Boardwalk Empire, one of my favourite series at the moment. HBO just seem to make quality TV in general. Reference the spoiler you mentioned above I watched season 2 a while back and was absolutely gutted! HBO pull no punches lolAndyKurosaki wrote:3 episodes in to series 2 of Boardwalk Empire, yet another quality show I'd highly recommend.

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
Very true, HBO does put out some brilliant shows. I loved The Sopranoes, so when I found out this was written by Terence Winter, watching this was a no-brainer. Already there's been a few twists I never saw coming, and Steve Buscemi is fantastic.
Re: Whatcha Been Watching?
I've seen both shows so it didn't spoil anything for me, but I was very suprised when I read that piece as both spoilers were unnescarsary for the article. Had the feeling when reading it that some people were going to be very pissed off.AndyKurosaki wrote:3 episodes in to series 2 of Boardwalk Empire, yet another quality show I'd highly recommend.
