Television Tab

I dunno Daniel, I think having so few episodes is probably a good thing cos it didn't get tired and peter out.

Any Brit tv watchers see Prey last night? Very good start I thought. I have Hinderland on record too but not watched that yet

American Horror Story: Coven -

Even when the show isn't good, I still really enjoyed it. It's delightfully bitchy in the best possible way.



Cowboy Bebop -

As far as Anime-Comedy-Neo-Noir-Space-Westerns go, you can't really beat this.

Yeah I guess that's true about Fawlty Towers.

Not watched either of them, although heard about the latter with it being Welsh.

I watched Hinterland last night. Do you speak Welsh Daniel? Parts of the dialogue are in Welsh with English subs. I didn't realise it was going to be 4 parts, but all standalone episodes. Thought it was good enough to keep watching, although it was a little melodramatic. Great dark atmosphere tho. Good use of the countryside around Aberystwyth

Hannibal- Season 1


Some of the best cinematography I've seen in a TV show, and just all around unique style with the Story of Hannibal Lecter and Detective Will Graham being set in modern times. I kind of wished for more diversity in the episodes later on, instead of constant "copy cat killer" but overall lots of great symbolism and definitely kept my intrigue.

Nope, where I come from there is like a Welsh/English speaking border and I am on the English side, so my Welsh language is very poor, just the very basics that I had to do in my GCSEs

I liked Hannibal season one and will probably give it a similar rating, apparently season two is meant to be fantastic and I have noticed on IMDB it's rating just keeps increasing.

Ain't no truly words been said (typed) excellent series

Just started season two!

I watched the first episode of this at the weekend. I wasn't impressed at all. I'll certainly give it another shot, but I was underwhelmed by just about everything and I didn't think it created an atmosphere at all. It all seemed very by the book, including



Anyone watching Generation War: Our Mothers, Our Fathers? Brilliant, IMO. One more episode to go and I'll miss it when it's gone. Great TV. If the other two are available on iPlayer I couldn't recommend it enough.

Coven jumped the shark pretty quick IMO... The creepy intro is the best thing about it.

This week's episode of Derek may've been my favourite of either series. Great stuff that had me laughing again and again. If you've not watched Derek yet, do give it a go. I'm getting to the point now where I think it'll make my top 25 for the TV list.

I watched the first episode awhile back. I guess it depends on how much you like Derek? I felt the show was painfully awkwardly unfunny.

I enjoy watching TV but not as much as watching films. I usually watch them on Hulu.com or another site where I can stream tv shows.

I enjoy:
Hannibal
Castle
MasterChef Junior
Kitchen Nightmares
Reign
Sleepy Hollow
Dracula
Penny Dreadful
Downton Abbey
Justified


Past shows include:
Warehouse 13
The Tudors
Camelot
Doctor Who
Torchwood
Torchwood: Miracle Day
Spartacus (all 4)
The Walking Dead

I tried watching "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D", "Bate's Motel" and "Believe". For some reason, I just dont care to watch them.

I really want to like Hinterland. I love the settings and the darkness but that last one was such a rediculous storyline. I need another decent crime one now that Prey and Hinterland have finished. Has anyone watched Happy Valley? any good?

if you thought Hinterland was decent you should be spoiled for choice.

The final series of Wallander (the proper one) started last Saturday, so I'd suggest that if you're not already watching it.

Point taken H
I'm saving Wallender so we can watch it all together .

Portlandia: Season 1


When it's good it's great, but often the skits just get way to stupid and annoying.
