I haven't got to Peaky yet. But I have generally become a fan of british cheese.


Watching Fargo right now and I think its great. Acting is refreshingly understated. I like how sparse it is overall, tho in some ways its almost like a breaking bad clone.

I really liked the first 2 seasons of homeland. Maybe folks don't like the story, but dont see how you can complain about acting.

I thought Ray Donovan was very well done, but somehow I did not find the drama compelling. And the tension with the dad vs the main dude was a little too much for me.

Dramas on Showtime suck. Except Masters of Sex. The Affair looks intriguing to me.

Mainly Homeland and Ray Donovan suck ass.



Masters of Sex has slipped a couple of notches. Disagree about Ray Donovan.

The Leftovers was surprisingly enjoyable.... there is a discussion thread about it in B&I cause its definitely got religious implications. But I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

wtf is leftovers?

HBO show based off a book by the same title.... story about people left on Earth following a post-Rapture like event where 2% of the worlds population vanishes.

It is very unique.... I liked the first season.

Book writer is exec producer of the show and will continue the story with original material in following seasons of the show.

Intruders (just 6 episodes) has probably been my favorite new show thus far. Not exactly the greatest writing or acting but the actual story is pretty interesting.

I watched about 1/2 an episode of peaky. I most have shows on while I work on the computer. I must have started that episode 3 times before I gave up. Too many characters and sub plots to have it going on in the background. Seems like too good of a show for that anyway. So it will take me a while to watch it since I have to give it my full attention.
