The main reason is because it carries the writing staff from the original BBC show, the thick of it. The main writer (Armando Ianucchi) and one or two more depening on the episode. It doesnt have the huge writing staffs that is usual in America.

Blacklist was good, definitely caught my attention, something a pilot is supposed to do

Castle started pretty well, positively surprised how they dealt with the problem of Kate´s new job offer vs Castle´s proposal

It´s always sunny in Philadelphia is as good as ever, the first three episodes belong to the best of the entire series

Masters of Sex also surprised me, watched the first two episodes and i am definitely hooked. I just hope the drama between Virginia and Ethan won´t take up that much air time.

I see, that's awesome, didn't know it's (at least semi-)based on a British show. Although it's still annoying :-/ Depending on how awesome it is I might check the thick of it.

The thick of it, is my favourite comedy program. It's satirises a lot about the british government, media and political establishment. It's also so funny and beautifully spot on. Iannucci is a genius and alongside Chris Morris, easily the two most talented comedy writers from the UK. There is a film out called in the loop, which is good and highly rated but not as good as the tv series.

Veep is a funny show, but sometimes I find myself annoyed by it.

The thick of it was pretty funny, though that was in large part due to Malcolm. Peter Capaldi is amazing, good thing now I can enjoy him as the Doctor.

Breaking bad finale was amazing, probably one of the best finales I've seen, so many shows manage to completely screw up the ending.

Misfits s05e01: I don't remember laughing so much watching a tv serie. The last 10 minutes were so hilarious, I was crying.

Whoa... I totally forgot about the last season of Misfits... thanks for the update!

I'm only watching the current episodes of Boardwalk Empire and The Walking Dead... got no time to check out any new shows atm.

After feeling some slight disappointment with the ending of The Walking Dead last season, I'm glad with the direction the show is going at the moment.

Well, we've talked about this in another thread but... yeah, I completely agree. The premier was kinda dissapointing , it was just ok, but the second ep was really enjoyable (and now we know that the first episode was just a setup for the second one).

Tbh, I don't know where this is going nor what will happen at all... and I'm loving it because of that.

I guess I'll post here from now on.

I actually liked the premiere. My issue was more with realizing where we'd start off after last season, and

Andrea's death was just so anticlimactic and weird

Ikr, it was really predictable that it'll happen, but it was executed so poorly. She had fought against hundreds of zombies before and she couldn't defend herself against one? Also, the scene was kinda "I need to grab the keys... oh look at him, he's about to turn-15 second stare-... nvm back to the keys... but look at him!-20 second stare-" wtf, just focus and get the damn keys.

The second to last episode, with Merle's death, had been way more epic... But the last one felt too forced. Andrea died cause she had to die, everyone went back to the prison just cause... there was also 0 feeling of limax, and not much to expect in season 4 (except for the fact that the governor was still alive); that's prolly why they had to release a huge trailer.

Well, I don't think I actually watched the extended trailer myself, so I'm glad I avoided most spoilers.

The trailer only teased some stuff that surely wasn't going to happen

like Ty getting killed by a horde of zombies

What's your opinion about the last episode?

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Anyway...

In the first seconds, I thought "oh, Rick is a pussy now" and then BAM, raped Ty (who ended up fighting dozens of zombies, badass).
I'm pretty annoyed that Carol is this season's Andrea/Lori, doing retarded shit all the time. I hope someone tells her to chill the f@ck up. Also, wtf is wrong with everyone's manners, you're all slowly dying from some kind of flu but no one can cover their mouths? only 3 or 4 people weared bandanas or any other sort of protection, EVERYONE should be doing that ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

This might be my future sig



Really nice episode, but again Carol annoyed me so much.

I'd say that Glenn survives but Sasha doesn't. On the other hand, I don't think Lizzie is sick (I think she wants to turn into a zombie). I mean, when she coughed it was obviously just too fake... but maybe the girl can't act, that wouldn't be a surprise.

I had the feeling that this scene was ment as fanservice for the fans of the comic because we've been craving for some Tyreese-Hammer-Action since season 1.

I found last episode kinda dull... the "emotional porn" wasn't very subtle.
making little girls cry + killing cute little pigs = shocked audience. not.
