FTA-TV Which TV shows are you watching now.

[akkaps]

Really? I thought it was pretty good actually.

You realise 'is the shit' is a positive phase.

 

[Glebehawk]

Haha sorry misread.

 

[Oscarman]

Just finished watching Bad Education. Pretty good and there is also a movie.

 

[Firestarter]

I'm not watching it week to week but I look forward to binge watching the new Robot Wars season once it finishes.

 

[akkaps]

Just finished the Inbetweeners. Then followed it up with the movies.

The TV show is way better, in the school setting. The movies seem really desperate, especially the second one.

 

[mandy]

The Girlfriend Experience

Never saw the film directed by Soderbergh (though I will now) but this 13 ep, half hour series has his fingerprints all over it and it's pretty amazing.

Riley Keough is ****ing choice, and gives one of the more interesting and complex performances you're likely to see this year - not to mention pretty ballsy. It has plenty to say on sex, psychology, the whole escort business, but it really shines as a thriller, filled with manipulation and the fact that there are different ways to see Christine (Keough) is what makes it great.

Highly recommend.

 

[akkaps]

It's been on my list of shows to watch since it came out.

 

[Biggie]

Thanks Warsaw, we're on that now

 

[FastLife]

Finally watched Parks and Recreation.

 

[akkaps]

Just found out The Girlfriend Experience is based of a movie of the same name, starring Sasha Grey.

 

[two blue tiger]

New series of Poldark now showing on ABC, but is 3 weeks behind actual screening in UK, so am downloading. A terrific period drama.....

 

[rumply]

Finally getting around to watching Game of Thrones, dunno why it's taken so long but into S2 & I'm enjoying it.

 

[WowWeee]

Always Sunny
Peep Show
IT Crowd
Arrested Development
Nathan For You
Review with Forrest McNeil
New Girl
Last Man on Earth
Happy Endings
Saxondale

Looking at this list im surprised you havent watched Curb Your Enthusiasm! One of the funniest shows.

Also if you like american pie/college humour/NFL - watch Blue Mountain State

 

[aflcliche]

Started sex drugs and rock n roll (the TV series only) and Vice Principals. Its basically Kenny from Easbound and Down in a school. That guy only ever seems to play one role, but does it well. Plus Shane from The Shield but totally different and surprisingly good.

 

[Marlowe]

Started The Leftovers. Seems like the kind of show that will shine when it leans away from its concept. Justin Theroux reminds me that I have misjudged him.

Working on starting The Girlfriend Experience as well. I finished the movie a couple of weeks ago but if the show's anything like the movie I could see it dragging a bit.

Really enjoyed girlfriend experience. Thought it was very well made.

Leftovers is superb too.

 

[stewie griffen]

Finally started Bojack Horseman

Pure insanity

 

[benchwarmer5]

Lost
Season 1 has aged well but I know its gonna get shit soon

Never really got shit. The only main gripe with it is the final season, and that mostly lies in retrospect after you've finished it. But S1-S5 stacks up against most of the acclaimed dramas.

I'm gonna stick with it regardless and watch every episode.
Can't believe its been 12 years...

 

[SnakeMan86]

Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 2, episode two might be the most cringiest, outrageous lough out loud bit of TV i've seen in quite some time

 

[Extortion Threat]

It's one of the funniest shows on TV. Bruce Campbell just dominates.
