Started Friday Night Lights for about the 5th rerun.. deadly shtuff

Only for the first few seasons. Once he leaves the Panthers it becomes very soap-like. Kyle Chandler a great actor though.

Ach aye, Go Panthers like... but Riggins still hangs about for the 4th and 5th.. id hang about just to have alocka brewskies with that fella anytime.. Jason Street annoys me

Light??!!

You not think its light?

To be fair funny and which the fairer sex should enjoy - it definitely ticks the boxes.

Just watched "Good Job: Stories of the FDNY" Steve Buscemi was interviewing some of his old mates as he used to be a fireman in NYC. Fascinating esp. the 911 stuff. Brave men and a lot of 2nd and 3rd generation Irish.

I started watching Marco Polo....got bored by it and gave up. Not as good as it could have been I think.

True Detective 2 consigned to history, thank God. Such a letdown after the first season.

Good, and funny, summary of plot up until start of Ep 8 here:

It loved itself a bit much and the plot was nearly too complicated but there was something I liked about it. Vaughan and McAdams switching things up was refreshing and they're great actors, some of the scenes were epic as well. Id give it a 6.5/10... Lots of room for improvement but watchable.

Slightly disappointed with the last episode but overall I loved series 2, thought it much superior to the 1st.

I think a lot of people have been unduly hard on it. I preferred the first but I think the second was a good un too. I would like to see Farrell and Vaughn making some decent films now.

Milltown Row2

Seen trailer for season 5 of Homeland... Looks great, coming out in the Autumn I think
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I thought it was absolutely shite. The writing was all over the place, what "plot" existed was ridiculously over convoluted and the characters themselves were boring as hell.

It has to be one of the bleakest endings to a TV series I've ever seen. That ending highlights to me just how much you want a conventional ending where the 'good' guys win or there's some sense of enlightenment. It was a very brave way to end a story in fairness.

Just finished watching "The Wire" really enjoyed it although the dialect was hard to follow at times.
