TV Series

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Flying through Sons of Anarchy at the moment, currently on series 3 and watching 4 episode a night

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Finished watching 24 and I've now caught up on live another day. Gutted that I have to wait a week now.

Quality show.

Ahh can't wait for next Hannibal episode

Started watching Band of Brothers for aproximately the 12th time on the D-day anniversary day. Without a doubt the best production ever made for TV. It's HBO, and it tops everything HBO has ever done before and after. In fact NOTHING will ever top BoB. There is no men i have more respect or admiration for, than the guys who fought for our freedom. Just finished the Bastogne/Foy part of the series. Tears me up every time I watch Joe Toye and Bill Guarnere laying on the ground there. So many great men losing their lives in those woods.

If you haven't watched this tv series, I recommend it with all my heart. If you don't like it then I'll buy you a pint when I eventually get to visit Liverpool

Incredible series, blows the pacific out the water, and it came before it. One small think they got wrong which is interesting, is the episode with Albert Blithe. He didn't actually die from his injuries, he lived rather a lot longer than that.

Would recommend Generation Kill if you haven't seen it already, mate. Another HBO series, Band of Brothers in Iraq if you will. A bit more comedy and tongue in cheek, though.

Parks and rec, fantastic if you like the U.S office.

 

[Walken]

gave sons of anarchy a whirl, found it pretty weakly written compared to its competitors

didn't they cover that with epilogue at the end, stating the date he died, or was that wrong? I actually preferred the pacific, it was more grueling and a little more disjointed as its based on different source materials rather than one book, after watching it you realise band of brothers invests most of its time in to characters that survive the conflict, I think pacific has more shocking moments that really hit home, both excellent though

Think I only watched the first episode of The Pacific and found it very disappointing. I think a modicum of knowledge of the events is required to fully understand both BoB and The Pacific (always felt it was such a shame that there was not interactive guides to the missions as a DVD extra on BoB), and the first ep of The Pacific was just a load of gunfire in a dark pond. Very hard to fathom what on earth was going on, who was shooting at who etc. Perhaps it got better, but I didn't stick around to find out.

very hard to make an accurate judgement in one episode to be fair, its gets better and is a very ambitious project attempting to cover so much, perhaps a little far reaching at times for a 10 part series, like I said they used various source materials, but has some genuinely heartbreaking and breathtaking moments, more so than band of brothers in my opinion, though I love them both, and would admit Band is the more entertaining

I have started watching series 1 of Orange is the new black, a comedy/drama about a nieve woman who has been sentenced to a stretch in jail.
It is ver funny, a wee bit wierd, and has the occasional rug munching scene.

 

[The Cowboy]

Quite removed from my usual TV choices (being that it aired on BBC Three) but we've just finished the first two series of Pramface. Quite an entertaining sitcom, benefits from having a really fit bird as lead, and Angus Deayton is superb in the dad role.

Now revisiting Extras, which is still fabulous.

Yeah, I've heard that. In the series I believe it states that he never recovered from his injuries, but in reality he died a few decades later (in 1967). His wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Blithe#Misreports_of_an_early_death

Would recommend Generation Kill if you haven't seen it already, mate. Another HBO series, Band of Brothers in Iraq if you will. A bit more comedy and tongue in cheek, though.

Watched it a couple of times. Great series. Not fit to lace Band of Brothers boots, though. But then again, no other tv production is.

The Pacifics problem for me is that they never really build the characters. When they die, I didn't care because I didn't know them. In Band of Brothers I feel like I know everyone of them through and through, thus making it sadder when they get wounded/killed.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

@SuperTimCahill that's one of the main reason the Pacific was nowhere near as good. The second main reason is all the early fight signs are in the pitch black.

I'm just getting to the end of the 2nd series of Vikings. Superb, I highly recommend it.
