BookMan Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 BookMan Just finished series 2 of Top Boy last night and it was really good. Give it a crack, I think/hope you will enjoy it. Nice recommendation Will27. Just finished Season 1...Started Season 2. It borrows a couple of bits from a US movie or two but overall pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I think Firefly was a bit over rated to be honest, never saw the massive appeal I really liked The 4400 which was stopped without an ending, writers strike/expense of making it, so left hanging but excellent show I think with most shows they don't ever have an end point in mind so just keep running and running and changing the goal posts. The best ones can do it effortlessly, it's different for cable shows. Fringe was definitely my kind of sci-fi though. I say to I like sci-fi and people automatically assume star trek and things but I am really not into that at all or Battlestar Galatica and so on, I like a bit of time travel, alternate dimension and all that though Have you watched Defiance? Canadian (I think) show on SyFy channel, couple of chicks from Dexter in it, post-apocalyspe alien invastion type thing. Not bad, worth a watch. New series in the summer, 1st already aired Nah haven't seen Defiance, Hulu or Netflix? The other Canadian SciFi show on SyFy is Continuum. Time traveling cops should work for you. Next season is scheduled for spring 2014 Which of course makes me realize I have forgotten to mention Looper. Frikkin awesome move And not forgetting Falling Skies, which I think has been totally missed so far. I'm salivating for the next season I also started on continuum and stopped..about 8 episodes into the first season. I did the same with Defiance I also did the same with Falling Skies, stopping after season one Revolution, a few episodes in and I stopped watching These are all similar shows and they are all the futuristic/post apocalyptic style of show I enjoy. For some reason though none of them hooked me in. A large part of this is the insistence of these shows to use a. Ridiculously good looking actors. b. Have them wearing latest fashion clothing. It is a post apocalyptic environment <deleted>! Don't get me wrong, I love perving on a girl's arse in tight bum lifting jeans as much as most guys, but come on! c. Have main characters do the most ridiculous things that they just wouldn't do as part of self preservation. The walking Dead uses a number of good looking actors but has overcome other '<deleted> moments!' in the most recent season. A template for all these shows Revolution is a show I want to like, but it's getting harder and harder for me to like. Last weeks episode with the sudden revelation that AI was somehow created just had me shaking my head with a <deleted> moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GooEng Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Half way thru season 1 of Blacklist a recent CIA/FBI crime thing starring James Spader. Ok so far, good performance from Spader and some interesting plot twists but the script is barely managing to cope with the highly far fetched premise. Anyone else watching it? The other I'm downloading at the moment is Elementary which is a Sherlock Holmes based thing set in the US - any comments?

I think it actually gets better as it goes on. It is half way through season 2 now. There is an English one also, titled Sherlock. Two series x 3 one hour episodes. Excellent viewing.

Hopefully will be a long term replacement for Burn Notice Some characters let it down though.. Elementary: another favorite, has lots of twists and turns in season 1 and doesn't stop in season 2..

GinBoy2 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Good to see The Blacklist is bucking the thanksgiving black out I was a little bummed that this weeks episode was a two parter however, but expectations are high for the conclusion. I'm hoping Keane will finally rise to the occasion, since I've thought her character so far has been pretty weak. BTW am I the only one who thinks Parminder Nagra is frikkin hot? Loved her in both ER and the short lived Alcatraz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 So I finally sat through Jobs... F*** me wasn't he a real Rex Hunt! Suffice to say, don't waste the time downloading it, takes too long to get into it - if it ever really does, goes at dying snails pace... Forget it! The Blacklist on the other hand, download it, watch it, go out for the day, come back and watch it again! Interesting twist at the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooEng Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Now caught up with the episodes of the blacklist to EP10 and it's improved with each episode to the point now where I'm itching to see the next one. Good job! I've got Jobs sitting waiting for viewing as well - not surprised to hear he's a c**t, he always came across as one. Still, I'm an Apple convert, so won't hold it against him.

GooEng Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Also downloaded something called Ray Donovan I saw mentioned earlier in this thread - looks good too. Likewise Top Boy. Edited December 4, 2013 by GooEng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 GooEng: Be interested to get your take on Jobs as well, don't know if I'd say I'm an apple convert, I guess so given my propensity for iDevices, there's actually a good line in the movie regarding how this "conversion" was created.
