Humans is the best new show on TV this year.

The Jinx documentary series HBO did on Robert Durst was incredible too.

Canalman

Anyone seen Bates Motel. Worth a start?


Main Street

I just caught up with s2 ep2 of True Detective and it has taken a deep breath, slowed down and allowed the different angles (all dark) to reveal themselves a bit more. Our Colin managed to lift himself out of a method straightjacket and do some acting.  I think I'm in for the long haul.

Aye the hook at the end of the episode will have dug deep. Looking forward to it.

D'y'hink so? Trying not to spoil but the way it ended.....do you really care either way? Much too early, I thought, to give a damn.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Main Street

Maybe there's a hint of a spoiler here, therefore
SPOILER ALERT

TD doesn't need a hook it should have trusted in the storyline. It's not the hook that matters, it's the story.
in this story, empathy is required  in order to  care what happens.
  Fwiw,  Colin did open up a bit to reveal something warm and sensitive underneath the social estrangement and the emotional complexity, Empathetic souls  would care about what happens next, is there salvation for Colin? Is he not already beyond the pale of salvation? but he's not the fundamentally rotten to the core character, is he?
Where does his deliverance lie and what path will he take to get there.
The other two characters in the investigation have not been revealed yet,  not enough to care about them yet.

Look forward to the Ray Donovan restarting

Finished s3 of The Americans...good show. Yer one has some chasis.

Enjoy Suits,  however the opening episode of the new season was poor.

I was very late to Suits but it's an enjoyable wee show. Only a couple of seasons in on netflix though. The missus is stockpiling TV shows for later in the year!

True detective Ep 3, no spoilers but mmmmmmmmm.

Also there might be a bit of man love in the air from one of the main characters, see what the rest of his think.

The first episode or two of the new season of Ray Donovan is on youtube and might also be on showbox or HD Cinema.

Would it be the guy who has to take a Viagra to have a rattle at one of the best lookin women on the box by any chance?
