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

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


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

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.

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.

Post subject:  Re: General Purpose US TV thread

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 :o)
