GrantSmith Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 BookMan will be elated to hear that his favorite show "The Following" kicks off again today! Lots of followers of The Following. It must have improved greatly I watched the first few episodes when it first came out, but it did not do much for me. Is it worth another try? Aint watched it but got middling reviews http://www.metacritic.com/tv/the-following Khun GS makes it all sound so tempting to watch Season 3. I sense a trap... Hopefully not a trap.. I've been telling you to get on The Following since mid to late season 1 (I think).. First Ep of season 3 is really a step in the right direction...

Popular Post Ulysses G. Posted March 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2015 I often steer clear of British series with a lot of accents, simply because they are so hard for me to understand, but I gave Happy Valleys a try, because of a recommendation on this thread. I really enjoyed it, even though I had a hard time with 30% of the dialogue. IMO, it was worth putting up with and the instant recaps of the web help a lot with translation and filling in the blanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Valley_(TV_series) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jope Posted March 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2015 Talking about color of skin: American Crime is off to rather good start, I'd say. A young white couple was murdered, the suspects are "Latino" and "Black". A lot of drugs involved. The police investigation, the relatives, the low life dealers, more or less openly shown racism and prejudices: all shown very convincingly so far. Some well known faces, among others Felicity Huffman (don't know what to make out of her character, so far more or less hatable, but played well). My rating: it's a keeper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jope Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) After watching the trailer of Dig I thought this could become something good or it could go terribly wrong. After watching the first (one hour) episode I have only slightly changed my mind. The show is about a 2000 year old conspiracy playing in Jerusalem. It seems to have some Indiana Jones elements in it, too. Story and action are alright, but not really "holding-your-breath" alright. The filming in Jerusalem is great. The show is definitely made professionally. As far as I know, it is only a four part mini series. So, I'll stick to it, hoping it becomes somehow more gripping. If not, no real waste of time but probably not worth remembering, either. Edited March 6, 2015 by jope 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's only 4 episodes, it's going to have to take off real quick, there's seemingly a lot to play out but I'll go along for the ride... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) watched vikings and it kept me entertained with good enough acting, reasonable characters and a decent enuf plot, then started to watch an old long time favorite 'scandal' and what can I say ?

This movie is a bit of fluff, but the actors are some of my favs: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120828/?ref_=nmbio_mbio Right about this time is when Anne left Steve Martin for Ellen DeGeneres. Too funny. I'm sure Steve got a lot of grief for that! LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawker9000 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Binged all three (yes, three) seasons of House of Cards. 'Couldn't stop watching it. I'll be waiting for Season 4 (as I think will just about anybody who views the last scene of the last episode of Season 3...). 'Need to see if I can find the older British version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jope Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Prison Break was great in it's day way back then. as was 24 and Dexter. I loved them all. We seem to discuss more up to date films and series here. DCI Banks - first episode of Series 5 tonight was great. And i can't wave my hands in the air too much for Indian Summers. Oh, and Season 14 of <deleted> Gordon Ramsay's Hells Kitchen has opened it's doors!! yeah indian summers has so.far, been disapointing.Sent from my GT-I9000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Regarding Indian Summers I agree with Patsycat. First I thought this is Downton Abbey in colonial India. For the first half of the first episode I only stayed with it because the filming and the scenery were so great, I mean big-screen-cinema-worthy great. I became more invested after a certain scene ("Hm. Lucky girl. Wash your hands before dinner!"). Obviously, this isn't the BBC but Channel 4. Still, hints of sex and violence are shown only very moderately, but I think the whole story is a bit nastier and more exiting than in Downton Abbey. After three episodes I find it rather enjoyable and I hope for a final deadly clash of all characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
