An Idiot Abroad wasn't my cup of tea at all, thought it was pure shite. A guy ignorant of other cultures and traditions basically travels about being insulting/offensive (in a light hearted manner of course) for the amusement of others. Just don't get it.

That's a good point too. I'd like to think that once the cameras are switched off, Pilkington goes back and says something along the lines of "Sorry for being a moaning cnut. I was just playing up for the cameras. Your way of life is actually really interesting and thank you for teaching me about it."

When you have someone as smug as Ricky Gervais in the background of this show it is hard to have any real connection with Pilkington.

His own follow up show to this, 'The Moaning of life' I found a better watch because on the surface anyway it lacks that school boys childish element that Gervais seems to bring to everything he does.

Alexandra Daddario. A special one.

4 episodes into the Following. Humming and hawing about whether to continue further. Seems glossy but lacking a bit of substance so far.

You're on Series 1?  I loved it.  Lots of twists to come.

Series 2 I'm not so sure about after two episodes.

Not to be missed.
From the opening scene, True Detective has been superb, even the music just fits exactly for the moment, the place and the mood.
It's one for the ages.

The Following season1 was good enough, season 2 has started really well.

Thanks anyway Rois. Gave up on it after the episode in the house in the countryside.

Now halfway through Banshee S1............ very good so far.

Anyone watched the pilot of Bosch yet? Loved all the books but the transfer of crime novels to tv generally is a bit shit as they have to fit several hundred pages into 60 mins (Rebus!).
