    ;lol AKA


    There's not a lot on current TV programmes I like other than live football. I the Great British Bake-Off, DIY SOS The Big Build and a couple of terrible US cop shows.

    Couldn't get on with True Detectives.

    Liked the first couple of episodes - excellent script, superb acting and good filming. But then the deep-rooted misogyny put me off. And the 2 characters were just deeply unlikeable.

    ;thumbsup Sherlock with BC and the guy who plays Dr Watson (and Bilbo Baggins, can't remember his name - he's in the TV Fargo too, I think?)

    Aka, heard about brad pitt too, will be interesting in second season what they do as the actors made it what it is IMO

    ;weep Same thing, Hants - started off watching it and enjoyed the first 5 or 6 episodes but then lost patience/interest. Maybe my mistake was trying to watch 2 or 3 episodes at a time instead of one per week - it's flaws are more obvious.

    Last things I watched and was able to enjoy the whole thing was The Wire (all 5 series, but I did have to take a short break between 3 and 4 as it was a bit harrowing) and West Wing (I know, it's old, but I didn't get to see t 1st time round).

    Oh we love The West Wing ;wahoo
  • HamstewHamstew
    Ooh ooh and the first ninja turtles film ;wahoo

    I love the original Smiley films with Alec Guiness. Thought they did a good job with the modern remake with Gary Oldman recently, though ;ok

    I might wrap myself up tomorrow if I don't feel any better, lay on the setee and watch some old B&W movies...

    Harvey is a particular favourite of mine.

    I think the great thing with True Detective is that you're supposed to dislike both characters, because they have several flaws but, by the finale, you want the best for both of them, even though you shoudn't.

    Some of the scenes. Loved the scene at the end of episode 3 just before they show you the first suspect walking through a field. Absolutely chilling.

    Never rated McConaughey, but he is utterly brilliant in those 8 episodes.
