Isn't that the opposite of the Goldilocks problem? You want it to reach for extremes rather than sitting between certain margins.

And The Goldilocks Problem makes no sense, her only problem was falling asleep.

Oh no, I have a surfeit of options that will cater for every possible taste, whatever will I do.

Caught up with all of The 100 now, it's getting really rather good, for what it is.

I gave up about half-way through the second season.

What are you commute watching at the moment? I need something else now

I tried Boardwalk Empire, but it's just a bit too nudity based to watch on a busy train, really.

I have to recommend "the affair" just this last time. I don't remember it having nudity...

One of the Amazon Prime pilots due for launch later in the month is an ACW drama ('Point of Honour'). A large number of re-enactors I know in the US were extras in it*, so might look into giving Prime a trial if it works on the Roku. Other than that, I know little about it.

General consensus on some ACW forums I lurk on is that the battle scenes are good, as is the amount of cleavage on show, but the rest is pretty dire. Probably won't bother playing 'spot the extra' then.

Covert Affairs has been cancelled, not surprised really, we were sort of pushing ourselves to watch the last season as it was a bit crap

New show 12 Monkeys based on the film of the same name, 2 episodes so far.

That 12 Monkeys remake is dumb as hell. Seriously dumb.

Not worth bothering with then?

Might as well watch the first episode to make your own mind up, but I don't think I'll be sticking with it.

RuySan · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 3542

Well, it's a SyFy production, so you're the only one to blame for wasting time watching that.

The IO9 review of the pilot of Amazon's "Man in the High Castle" (PKD drama set in a 60's USA were the Axis powers won WWII) says it is excellent.

What do you need a login for? I've got one I think but all the torrents are publically accessible anyway.

Dr Zoidberg · **Joined:** 15th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 5149

I had a quick look at Demonoid and it hardly seemed to have anything on there.
What's the torrent site of choice at the mo? I have other sources for US TV, but occasionally I need to fill in some gaps.

The Pirate Bay is back but the obvious ones for TV are

Cheers, they should do the job nicely. As it's only for occasional use I don't want to get into invite only sites and maintaining ratios.

So I've started watch The Sopranos. I'm up to season 2:

I'm loving Richie and the jacket he gave Tony.

"Heeeeeeeey."

"It's a nice jaaaaaccket"

"Come oooooon"

"Hey Tone, how's the jaaaaacket?"

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14356

He's still at it:

"Tony where's the jaaaacket"

"In the car"

"Come ooooooon. You don't like the jaaaaacket? It's a nice jaaaaacket."

That weird Nip/Tuck kid was in it too. Damn, that kids face is weird looking.

And Jax's ex from Sons of Anarachy. She looks gorge in SoA.

And I can't tell if this gambling guy is the T-1000.

What I'm trying to say is: there's people in this.

Obviously you've got the Goodfellas connection too, Lorriane Bracco & Michael Imperioli.

Omar from The Wire, and Will Arnett show up too.

Damn that's a good show.

Watched the first episode of 12 Monkeys last night, thought it was OK, will be looking at couple more.

That's rather handy, though I think I need an extra couple of days added to the weekend to keep up with everything I might want to watch.

GazChap · **Posted:** Thu Feb 26, 2015 12:07

I've basically binge watched both seasons (well, as far as S2 has gone so far) of Brooklyn Nine-Nine over the past few days.

It's so silly it's great.

I keep meaning to try and start up "...is the name of your sex tape." with people in real life but never remember to listen out for examples until I watch the show. Then I promptly forget again minutes later.

Somebody had to almost spell it out to me that that was Eva Longoria in the latest episode.

"Nahhh, she old[er]. She [meaning TV woman] is young."

Turns out I was wrong. I should be getting used to that by now though, surely.

I fucking love Eva Longoria

I've watched the first 10 episodes of HOUSE OF CARDS season 3 so far.
Going to binge on the last 3 episodes tomorrow night.

It's still good and Kevin Spacey is still awesome (as are most of the of the other actors) but this season seems less exciting to me. In the first 2 seasons he was a right c**t who was happy to f**k his competitors up the arse in order to get ahead and that was the main draw for me. Plus, there was murder, sleaze, and all sorts of dodgy goings-on.

This season just seems a bit dull compared to the previous two. It's probably more realistic but that's not what I want from a TV drama like this.

Hoping it gets more thrilling in the last 3 episodes (and won't be clicking on this thread again until after I've watched them, for fear of spoilers

)
