Christ no, I'd watched every episode of Castle by the time I got half way through S02. I think I stuck with it until maybe half way through S03, at which point I realised it was just the same thing over and over again.

I'm watching on Sky, (it was the Western one yesterday, not as well done as the Red Dwarf Western one, or the Doctor Who western one) America is probably 3-4 weeks ahead or something.

Some leaks on cancelled shows before the networks tell their advertisers

Agent Carter, Castle, CSI Cyber, Nashville, The Grinder are all supposed to be getting canned.

No, I think it was a comment on the fact that DavPaz had already said that Castle and Agent Carter were being cancelled, and it's pretty widely reported. I'm not convinced these are exactly secret leaks.

Master of None is great. It's a bit like Louie but less depressing.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is exactly like 30 rock: most of the time isn't particularly funny, but when it is, it's absolutely hilarious. The blonde one basically does the same character as in 30 rock, and is still funny.

Deadwood continues to be brilliant although I have no idea what has gone on in the past howevermany episodes* but the last one ended up with a drunk Lovejoy soliloquy on his upbringing whilst a teenaged whore sucked him off.

*I have been watching them with Thing Two** between 2am and 7am depending on stuff. As a result I am barely awake so the finer points are lost on me. It involves gold, whisky and mud. What I do understand is pretty good. Set, script and acting is superb.

** MGMT has informed me I am to be nicer about them, and I can't call Captain Shitpants "Chunk" anymore***

*** totally looks like Chunk**** from the Goonies

**** MGMT said she was worried Thing One was a little rotund after health visitor did BMI. That day, I bought Thing One a Barbie doll and await nature to take its course. Thing One is now not undertall with regard to BMI now either. But anyway.

That was about eighteen years ago, or something.

Yes. Unlike The Good Wife, which was a great example of pissing away any good feeling built up over the years.

They've both finished for good. The Good Wife had a crap final episode where...
Well, if you haven't seen it and follow it I'm not sure I should say, even in spoiler tags.

Well it was going to get another series sans Beckett, then they decided against it - so no real surprise it had a weak ending.

I have about four episodes of The Good Wife left and am now upset! Such a great show!

I haven't read the spoilers though so will just hope that you're all wrong :)

There's no Good Wife spoilers, and we're not wrong, it's a dogshit ending.

Maybe they'll just make another series to fuck with you. I mean, they said they planned the ending from fucking years back, so I was expecting something good.

Am still slowly going towards the ending of The Good Wife. Am still annoyed that they balls it up.

Meant to be a spinoff coming though?

Anyway, I only found out today that Luca in it is a Brit!

It wasn't quite what I was expecting tone wise, but I don't really know what I was expecting. I agree it was good though.

Gilgun's accent isn't perfect, but aside from that he's an inspired choice for Cassidy, I can imagine he'll do a great job of both the comedic and tragic side of the character.

Interested to see who's it progresses.

I enjoyed Preacher, agree on the look of it. It was a solid start, not exceptionally brilliant but very solid...enjoyed the news story on in the background of the bar scene.

To be fair, it had a lot of pieces to assemble -- and did so without feeling artificial about it.

It did some solid character-building work in very small amounts of time, too. Notably with the church assistant lady who has the hots for Custer.

I liked Preacher, but I'm not sure I like what they've done with the characters' relationships, like they've just chucked a load of the characters from the comics together straight off. We'll see how we go.

I finished Season One of DAREDEVIL last night, which I thought was fantastic.

I will pile straight into Season Two over the weekend.

Watching entire seasons of things is quite a big investment of time, but I don't mind at all when the quality is this high.

I don't think season two is quite as good as the first, I think they tried to cram a little too much in, and so it feels a bit unfocused.

There is a lot of good stuff in it, though.

The Good Wife.

Yeah, I can see why people are annoyed about the ending!

Though lots of symbolism back to the first episode and others, and to thematic stuff.

I don't think it's too bad, to be honest, but I'm more easily pleased in such respects usually.
