Rudolf's Mate Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Started watching Sons of Anarchy today, Switched it off after 25 minutes. Will try and get through the episode after the football, but it's not exactly gripping. Does it get better? Sure it could be on this thread, but I did exactly the same thing! Me and the Mrs looked at each other and thought this is pish! People on here convinced me to give it another bash, which I did. It took me quite a few episodes (possibly 5-6) to think it was going somewhere however by the end of the first season I was hooked. Now the Mrs has watched them all as well and it's up there as one of the best things I've watched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Anyone watched: Under the Dome Crossing Lines Not sure if they're Amazon Instant exclusives however they're available on there.

missed98 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Season 1 of Under the Dome was decent. Season 2 will tell us if it's going anywhere. Currently watching Penny Dreadful - Decent. Believe - Not very good Fargo - Excellent Some shows coming up shortly that i really fancy:- 1. The Strain 2. Leftovers 3. The Last Ship 4. Dominion 5. Extant And i believe Utopia Season 2 starts soon. Yaaaaaaassssss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Finished Breaking Bad the other night. Fair to say it didn't live up to its hype. Still an okay watch but not a patch on The Sopranos or the likes. True Detective next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the Dome is absolutely amazing, provided you haven't read the book (and can get over the fact that Big Jim Rennie is Hank from Breaking Bad ) It's the same story but some severe artistic liberties have been taken!

Tommy Wiseau Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Finished Breaking Bad the other night. Fair to say it didn't live up to its hype. Still an okay watch but not a patch on The Sopranos or the likes. True Detective next. I've just finished it as well. It's absolutely tremendous. It's not quite as good as people say - a little bit behind The Wire etc - but it's superbly written and definitely an awful lot more than a decent watch. Now onto House Of Cards. It's ok so far, and Spacey is great, but not really grabbing me. A bit too cold, but it has potential to be brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wiseau Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 House of cards is a bit ridiculous. It's not half as good as it thinks it is. Yep, that's the impression I've had from the handful of episodes I've watched. The televised debates and interviews are always so on the nose and lack subtlety as well. It's keeping me watching, but in comparison to what I've just come from, it's not the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Archer Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 It's very polished, has some good performances but the plot is flimsy. You just starting the first series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Wiseau Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yep, just finished the episode where he breaks the teacher's strike. See for other shows, that would be a spoiler and I would never have typed it out, but for this the plot doesn't feel like it can be spoiled - it's more about how he gets things done rather than what gets done. I'm hoping we see him in trickier positions as the series progresses, because other than a really over-egged debating disaster (they really need to judge the tone of them better - the audience aren't idiots), it's been smooth sailing for him - or at least felt like it.

Chester™ Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Has Lilyhammer been suggested? Watched it recently and really enjoyed it. Great show. Desperate for the 2nd season to either been shown on telly or be released on DVD. I dont have Netflix and dont intend to get it either. As an aside, when Mrs Chester and I were in Lillehammer a couple of weeks ago, they were filming Series 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Watched the second series of Lillyhammer and it had me laughing out loud at parts. I have Netflix but it may be available on Showbix (if you use them) After finishing series 2 I checked Google to see if there was a third series planned and it made my day when I read that it should be on Netflix later this year. Great viewing - the acting and script are great though some folk may be put off by the subtitles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been meaning to watch it for months but just got around to it last week, I managed to steam through the two seasons and was really happy to see that there would be third season.

Carl Fredrickson Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 In the first series, the episode that included the ski jump had me in stitches. SVZ is a co-writer too.

Say What Again Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Must just be me that thought Under the Dome was average at best, bordering on pretty silly. I thought some of the acting was corny as hell too. Most of the time I found myself pondering over if I'd rather ride the ginger or the Latino cop In saying that, I'll still watch season 2.
