Happy Face

Started Ray Donovan. 2 episodes in.  Not been blown away so far, but the standard of TV is so high these days, it's difficult for a lot of things to keep up.

 

This seems like a male led version of Scandal where the cleaner upper and his team have personal lives mixed up with professional.

 

I'm surprised it's got similar Metacritic scores to Blacklist because I think it's better than that, from what little I've seen.

 

Done 3 series in 3 weeks and a couple in to the current series.

 

The balancing of his criminal and family lives is more Sopranos than Scandal, but for writing, character, themes etc... it is more Scandal than Sopranos.  Jon Voigt is immense throughout it.  Highly recommend it for his performances alone.  His turn as a 70 year old doing drugs, drink, prostitutes and robberies while pissing off his entire family and still remaining likeable is a far more endearing portrayal than the miserable/tortured lead character of Ray Donovan himself.

Christmas Tree

The Last Ship

 

Pure junk American TV but a nice little filler to have in between better stuff.

This has actually turned into a very good show (still a bit cheesy and hammy) but getting better each season.

About half way through season 3 of Ray Donovon. Finding it a bit cheesy tbh but it's a decent enough watch. Will get onto Narcos s2 next

I've just started S3 of Raymondo. It's defo not a patch on your top end shows, but it's an entertaining enough watch.

 

I'm rewatching season one of Mr Robot before ploughing on with 2.

Christmas Tree

Did Mr. Robot end up anywhere good? I'm about 5 episodes in but drifted a bit. Is it worth persevering with?

It's shit.

Aye, whenever CT gives a recommendation, it's important to bear in mind that Grey's Anatomy scores a 5 Roman Coins rating with him.

It

 

I was going to watch it anyway on Tooj's recommendation but after that post from CT it's a must see

 

It's probably one of the best things being produced in the US atm.

But it involves more than sitting on your arse and stuffing your face with crisps to watch it.

After the way the first season ended I'm not sure how they'll keep it going for a second season.  I'll probably get on to it once I've finished Gomorra though.

Narcos

 

Still gutted they used up so much of the timeline in season one, but loving season two. Episode 4 in particular. Quality stuff.

What is all this bollocks about Great British Break Off?  Seriously, making main news.  We must be the laughing stock of the world.  Who gives a shite about the shite two who present it or if Merry Berry is gonna go accross.  She'll be deed soon FFS!

Not really. The top five most watched TV broadcasts in the UK last year were all GBBO episodes. People clearly give a shit about it so it's news.
