Stop wasting your time. If you aren't feeling it by now you won't. You should watch I Carly instead.</p>

Inbetweeners season 3 just became available on Netflix (Original British Version) . This show is hilariously brilliant.

The new season of Louie is hilarious and wonderful. They're doing 2 episodes every Monday night. It's amazing.</p>

Someday I'll have to sit down and really start watching Louie. I've only seen 2 episodes. It was funny but so awkward at the same time. I know that's his brand of humor but it's a little different when it's in a sitcom, and if you're not in the mood for it it can be hard to watch.</p>
</p>
I've been watching An Idiot Abroad. Love that show. Karl Pilkington is an idiot genius. His quips are spot on most of the time.</p>

I don't find it awkward as much as I find it truely honest. I think that the thing that is so appealing to me, and I say this without having seen the new season and also loving his show on HBO, is that his "awkward" situations that are created for comedy are almost to genuine for a sitcom. You can feel it actually happening you and not just a setup of specific circumstances. That was what bothered me so much (don't shoot me here) about Seinfeld is that it tired to have the same sort of real life feel but always went too overboard on coincidence or circumstance to really have a good meaning. In Louie I feel like in every episode (reasonably) that it's a story that could be any one of us.And it's funny.</p>

Louie is a comedian that has become better as he has gone along. His latest stand-up set was awesome and the show really does follow that trend of "gets better". Funny cat, I like em.</p>
</p>
Idiot Abroad is awesome! I have a blast with that show and one of the few shows of its type where I dont thing he is acting in these situations or intentionally trying to add drama and comedy. I truly believe he is just like that. </p>
</p>
I saw mention of Vikings, love the show and Se 2 is just as good as Se 1. I also like it is based on ancient fables and historical events, culture, etc., mixed with some artistic licence of course.</p>
</p>
Sherlock, I might have mentioned here before, BBC show, takes away all the corny of how other wanted Sherlock Holmes to be and made the REAL Sherlock Holmes: A brilliant functional sociopath. Not some corny old guy in a trenchcoat or some pretty boy who kicks ass super smart and the ladies love him. THIS is as Sherlock should be. Each season is like 3 "books" 90 minutes a piece, into se 3. </p>
</p>
Silicon Valley is fun too, certainly more so if you are a geek or have worked in the Valley at all. </p>
</p>
Enjoying Fargo as well. </p>

Billy Bob Thornton is real good in Fargo.</p>
</p>
I checked out the 1st episode of Sherlock and will watch the whole series,good show</p>
</p>
The artwork in this weeks Silicon Valley was hilarious.</p>
</p>
Lillehammer on Netflix with Steven Van Zandt is a good watch.</p>

tonights game of thrones episode was aweeeeesome. Loved the trial scenes i won't spoil any of it for those who have yet to see it. Therien is just the best fucking character on t.v. and dincklage is the shit. he better get some rewards soon for the unreal acting job he does every episode. seriously the show wouldn't be as good as it is without him. really written well for his character also not sure if that is directly from the books or not. whatever the case may be dinklage demands full attention when he is on screen and he easilly gets it from me.</p>

Yeah, I think we talked about it in this thread a while back, I like the show, am a few behind on the DVR though, I just got done with the episode which rosario had to do the corn field thing. Don't want to spoil anything. I like the show, it's getting a bit out there, and for some reason they've really turned up the notch on showing extremely brutal violence for no reason. I am not against showing a gruesome scene but they seem to be overdoing it for some reason. Like when the guy gets his head cracked it was bad, then he gets a finishing blow and you were like ohhh man that was gruesome, then he gets one for good measure and you are like well that's the decider... but then they just keep whacking him and you're like.... is it over yet? Several times this season that type of thing has seemed to happen. And the Naples king... well...</p>

I'm going to guess you didn't read the books and go ahead and let you know gently... it's Tyrion.</p>

I agree with DaVinci's...that it seems to be getting a bit "out there"</p>
</p>
I guess I stil watch hoping it's going to reel back in, but it is getting a bit all over the board with things</p>

Yeah, it was heading there but I am a few behind still like I said, was hoping it comes back but it seems it's going very violent and very very mystical. Less logical conclusions which is what I liked about the show and what he did.</p>

I love that several of the HBO shows have an inside the episode segment after the show. Game of Thrones does this and it's immensely helpful.</p>
