I do love me some Sean Lock. Does he essentially play himself or what?
I watched two episodes of that a few years ago and didn't really get into it. I've been meaning to give it another go.Sean Locke's 15 Storeys High. Written by Locke, Mark Lamarr & the boss from Phone Shop. It's a brilliant, understated, underappreciated sitcom. Probably the best thing BBCThree ever did.
Ish. It's an odd couple thing. Locke's a grumpy misanthrope, Benedict Wong is a naive optimist. Simple stuff, and very cheaply filmed but there's some really nice stuff in there IMO. It's one of those slow quirky ones that if you like, you'll really like.I do love me some Sean Lock. Does he essentially play himself or what?
I watched the whole thing through in about 2 days, which I suppose helped (I only remember it vaguely from it's initial run and also had one of those "I should watch this again" moments) I thought the first ep was a bit slow, but it picks up pretty quickly and gets better in the 2nd series when Lamarr joins the writers.I watched two episodes of that a few years ago and didn't really get into it.

It's based on the Harry Bosch book series from Michael Connelly. I've never read these, and have no idea if that would have a positive or negative effect (if either) on how I considered this though as I wasn't constantly making comparisons or concerned with how they had adapted it.LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch works to solve the murder of a 13-year-old boy while standing trial in federal court for the murder of a serial killer.
prepare yourself for what's next.I am 4 eps into Helix,first 3 eps were I thought pretty boring, nearly turned it off, EP4 is getting better, more of the story is coming out.
Yeah I know Futurama, I've seen most of it I think. Just not the latest seasons I think!Yeah from the '90s. Not the best, not the worst either.
Futurama is a must for fans of animated series.
Yeah, it's worth a try.Yeah I know Futurama, I've seen most of it I think. Just not the latest seasons I think!
I'll have a look into The Critic anyway.
SWEDGIN!Yeah, it's worth a try.
That's me!SWEDGIN!
You have a heart of stone, that's your problem right there you Scandinavian bastard!I've almost finished season 2 of The West Wing. It's pretty good so far except for occasional nauseating sentimentality.
I also rolled my eyes recently when another comic relief woman was introduced.
Women! Can't live with them, can't live without them. Am I right? Lol oh man
It's just not believable that the staff can be so fragile with all the watery eyes and crinkled foreheads. Toby is the worst one, how can he possibly be director of communications when he's such a mopey wreck.You have a heart of stone, that's your problem right there you Scandinavian bastard!
Which comic relief woman are you referring to? Is it Ainsley?
Yeah, mostly it keeps a good balance. The music is the worst!You're too harsh! Of course it's not going to be pure documentary style, but I thought they managed to balance the 'soapy' aspects well against the political side of the show (the latter being much more enjoyable and interesting even though it was a bit overdramatic at times). Toby was great as well!
Ainsley annoyed me at first but grew on me. Not too sure her character can be depicted as being written by a sexist, but maybe my memory is playing a trick here (and I think her character is developped throughout the show, very slowly, there's often a lot of episodes where you just don't see her at all and then she suddenly pops up again).
It's the show The Simpsons crossed over with in the film festival "football in the groin" episode. He's 'The Critic' Marge invites to judge it. He also appears in the one where Ned Flanders is committed, repeating "it stinks" in a padded cell. It's written by two of the Simpsons showrunners.What is that? Animated series?
Good not amazing. Id say its better than Walking Dead.Does anyone watch the Hannibal series? How is it?
That was so unrealistic! Ron Swanson pushing for increased government spending and intervention. The thought of that is beyond belief, no matter how badass a wolf road sounds.A couple familiar faces I've spotted so far:

I'd say that's fair.Good not amazing. Id say its better than Walking Dead.
Worth trying for sure.
He really does look like Wayne Rooney.Wayne Rooney's in it in Season 3..
Finished black sails? There's only 1 season out isn't there? And That's dissapointing, I enjoyed Spartacus but mainly due to the story...Finished Black Sails, it's ok I guess. Basically Spartacus with pirates but not remotely as fun and the storyline isn't as good, it also never really manages to 'kick off'. Women in it are amazing though and some of the ship fights are good.
four episodes into Vikings and liking it so far.
