I've acquired Luther, it's waiting in the queue - trailer looked promising.
Mr.Robot - awesome pilot, great 2-3 episodes and then all went to shit. I couldn't believe it and went into denial ["ok, that's ok, ok"] - but after watching the finale ep....I shall say no more, don't want to SPOILERS. Only this: I was right to steer away from anything Ch.Slater is in.
So I lost my faith in TV series for a second but then tried....UTOPIA. And I'm happy again.
No offence to anyone, but IN GENERAL TV series made in UK rule, as far as my series watching is concerned..I know it's all based on economics and tv politics, yeah, blah blah, e.g. in UK "Lost" would be 1-2 seasons at most - I think ?? lol. I'd make that show just fucking 6-episode mini series. Plane crash, boom, press that fucking button, where is Jacob, black smoke says "HUR HUR HUR", end titles - fuck mystery solving ! Lynch style. At least many people would save some respect for the godawful script writer.
ANYWAY Utopia season 1 is great. Probably season 2 is shit in comparison - I'm gonna start it tonight, so dunno. I don't mind.
Ah, I started The Leftovers...endured 5 minutes. ^^ same thing as with Lost. No way I'm gonna invest my time to watch a 6 season road-to-nowhere. No fucking way. Mystery my ass.
And a good day to you sirs.

you read like you've had a few cups of coffee today :)
anyway, I just logged in to say that season 2 of Utopia is by no means shit in comparison to season 1
The only shit thing about it is that there is no season 3

Seen them all, showed episode one to the boss, we won't be watching anymore. Shame. I love the series. It was just a bit too dark for her I think.
Luther series 4: BBC1 15th of December!
I enjoyed season 3. So there.

Boss is right. Two episodes traumatized me. (The zombie one and the xmas episode).
Btw: Boss, with Kelsey Gramar and the chick from 90210, is a very good series.

Episode 1 is an odd one out, in that it's just all funny to me: absurd.
It's very good though. I was just blown away by it :->

I watched Top Boy on netflix recently, I wasn't expecting much but I was actually quickly hooked and ploughed through it.
It's as close to The Wire as you'll get from a British production. Gutted Ch4 cancelled it, but I suppose it's easier and cheaper for them to do stuff like make a shit TV programme about plebs watching shit TV programmes.

An infinite Russian doll of spin offs, creating Zzzzzzzzzzzz list celebrity for struggling out of date womens magazines that have more adverts than articles.
I watched BBC news earlier and they had a reporter who actually said 'anythink'!
The film Idiocracy is becoming alarmingly more prophetic by the day.

This last season of The Affair was pretty darn good. That show tackles some good issues regarding life, love, relationships, desire, what have you etc etc... definitely worth a watch.
We recently subscribed to a dns server so we can get netflix and it's great. While there are a lot of TV shows and crappy movies (shark movies anyone?) I don't really care for, there is enough content on there to keep us occupied for some time. Planet Earth for example, haven't watched that in years.

@Portnoy haha yeah most likely that was my quick morning coffee posting :)) 2 months passed like an F-16, phew
As for Utopia: I enjoyed both seasons. S2 didn't have the speed of S1 - but it was way more serious and darker. Still, soundtracks for both seasons are very fitting and the music is great to listen to on its own. I started watching U. again after a while and it was double enjoyable to watch the characters develop. I had to pause the rewatch but I'll def. come back to it. And I agree that there should be no S3. And hopefully David Fincher will never remake it - I think it would be worse than his US version of "Män som hatar kvinnor"
I've seen 2 ep's of Vera: another sweet little UK crime series. 4eps a season/year - that's quite economical lol.

(spoiler free reviews) Hannibal was great. 3rd season was great too, but I got sick of the characters
Homeland season 4 was pretty great, it just got good again where season 3 turned lame.
Finally saw True Detective season 1. It's really great. Obv. much credit to McConaughey and Harrelson.
Started watching Penny Dreadful. It's absolute lovely
Started watching Masters of Sex. It's pretty great, but maybe too feel-good at times
Since I see I haven't mentioned it here: yea Fargo. It's really up there with the bestest

i have a weak spot for miniseries. it's something about the format i really appreciate. it's not as drawn out as (some) tv series, and not as compressed as (some) movies.
anyway i really liked wolf hall when i watched it recently. mark rylance is great in the lead part. didnt know much about him beforehand.

@pandapirate yeah I know @Portnoy I think The Killing is very good though too long - maybe because of the family plot. I prefer miniseries just like Advocate above.
I can't wait for new X-Files to finish [miniseries too, if you don't know] so I can watch it all in one session.
Hopefully the response will be so great that it won't end up as just a 6ep season. The chemistry between Duchovny/Anderson is still there, one of the greatest tv series [and film] couples deserve more air time imo.
And fingers crossed for David Lynch to live long [and prosper] enough to give us new Twin Peaks. Next year/ASAP, hopefully.

Watching The Leftovers. Not very far in but so far just like the characters in the show I have no fucking idea what is happening.

I've finished "Luther" and I think it's overall a great series. <3 Alice
The 2ep s04 was unnecessary though. They could've just waited for a moment when Ruth Wilson would be available for Luther again. And make a proper 4-6eps season with her. To maybe finish the whole story in good style.
I hope it comes back. Elba and the script writer want to keep going with it so fingers crossed.
============== I also started Hannibal but the "spooky" male detective made me facepalm several times during the first ep so....not for me. Too much cheese per frame.

I like vinyl and billions. And i started whatching mad men, its very good. Alot of great stories and characterers, i am on s5.
Girls is very good also. I have been whatching it from the beginning. I like the latest season.
Silicon valley is pretty funny and good. It was kinda sad that he who played peter gregory died of cancer early on. New season soon.

Some Utopia actors in this. I'm not a big fan of Maggie Gyllenhaal (loved the Secretary though) - but this series is v good and she plays really well too.
