Just caught up on a few episodes of Catastrophe on channel 4 after a recommendation from someone at work. I've enjoyed it so far.

It's great. Best "British" (well Irish/American) comedy in years.

Watched the first two episodes of it last night - very good indeed. Apparently, well I'm told, that she's Shane Horgan's (the rugby bloke) sister.

She is. Bellewstown girl. Unfortunately, it's her presence in it that's deterring me from checking it out. Deirdre O'Kane factor.

Give it a blast Hardy - it's pretty good, comparatively speaking.

Would agree. I went in with lowish expectations and if I hadn't seen decent reviews I probably wouldn't have bothered but it is worth watching (comparitively speaking, as Billy says).

I've been watching 12 Monkeys and its decent enough. Certainly enough to keep me watching it. I've never actually seen the movie.
Great to have The Walking Dead back also.

Have to say I really enjoyed Eastenders this week. To pull off all those live episodes with only a few hitches is pretty amazing. The central story was gripping too, with a good ending as well. People like to piss on the soaps when they do something stupid but never acknowledge a job well done.

Fortitude finally sparked into life in Episode 4.

Verdict on the new House of Cards? Have seen first two episode and looks good.

Just finished episode 2 a few mins ago. Was looking like it was moving into straight West Wing territory but seems to be picking up now.

Banshee is really rocking at the minute. Episode 5 of Season 3 last night. Brilliant stuff, got 9.4 on IMDb

Just watched Ep 8. Lots going on.Nearly quit during S2 but glad now I hung in there

Not watching it all in 2 days this year.

Just finished S3 E4 and it is moving along nicely.

The Russian State Visit was brilliant, if quite not your normal House of Cards stuff.

Recently binned Fortitude. Just finished Dexter at the weekend there, unbelievable show. Never liked a character as much as Dexter.

gallsman · March 03, 2015, 10:53:43 PM

Finished HOC. Overall a bit meh I felt after a promising start. Everything in the Underwood administration has already been done better by the Bartlett one!

Starting Series 2 of "The Fall" tonight. Good show so far, few spots are predictable, very weird to think of Serial Killing in Belfast for some reason.

You'd still take Gillian Anderson out for a drink, like.
