I know I keep going on about it but I can't recomend American Horror Story enough. I'm really enoying it. It's stupid in many ways and the plots are full of holes but I find it very imaginative with great acting and it looks fantastic. Season 3 is throwing everything at the wall. We've got zombies, witches, a minotaur, torture, imortality, incest, racism, brutal murder...pretty mcuh every taboo is being crossed here. Not in a particuarly intelligent way but in a very entertianing way. If you like the macabre, you'll like it

Just started watching Brooklyn 99. I love Andre Braugher, and he's fun in this. Only watched a couple of episodes, but enjoying it so far.
I tried Bojack Horseman, didn't like it. I find I don't like Will Arnett in anything other than Arrested Development, even, it seems, as just a voice actor

new series is going to be in a creepy hotel and Lady Gaga will be in it.

I'm sure I'll enjoy that! I'm loving Season 3 so far. Does Jessica Lange leave at any pont? Because for me she is the anchor. She is soooo good. And I love Jamie Brewer -the actor with Down's Syndrome. She looks amazing and is so talented. I think her inclusion is another thing I really like about this show. She's on her own terms. She's there because she brings something. Just like every other actor and that cannot be ignored.

I think she's left for Hotel but she is in circus, does some great anachronistic songs.

Jessica Lange is revelation for me. She is the classic "model turned actress" and was truly appalling in that remake of King Kong.

The Code. Aussie drama mini series. Tech-conspiracy crime tale. lots of intrigue, corruption, dirty double dealings and Lucy Lawless...

Mrs Spy is well into this at the moment but I'm finding it hard going. The guy that plays the Aspergers (?) brother is an excellent actor though.

It's a fine time passer. I'm liking it.

Been catching up on Jack Taylor - Iain Glen starring telly cop stuff set in a seedy, whiskey soaked galway...it's got a bit of a light touch, but it's basically pulp-gumshoe fare with the main guy getting suckered into a investigation, followed by all the usual things, i.e. gets wrongly accused of murderm set up, beat up, falls for the pretty girl etc....all while being half pissed and dealing with corrupt and evil people from all walks of life...
Never even heard of it before...it passes the time quite nicely, if you want something that isn't too cerebral, and follows some well trodden, but entertaining, paths.

Three episodes in and whilst the story is engrossing, I'm not so sure about the storytelling...

Rewatching Grey's at the moment. It's a total guilty pleasure. Years ago I used to have it on in the background while I played my favorite video game, for hours at a time . That combination was like therapy when nothing else worked
Redeyes
Ptooff!
Yeah, I made it to episode five last night. It's good but not amazing...

I really liked Bloodline. It's a slow burner but I found it very satisfying.

I got to episode 4 on Narco. Its good but that 'acton/wiseguy voicover/action technique can get old. its been done in loads of gangster films

I've never watched it, but I think after these two recommendations I might start. I'm always on the lookout for comfort watching.
I'm on episode 1, cos I watched 2 episodes pissed last night. was alright if I remember

Spike Island - Fucking ace. I thought it was going too be tinny and annoying; it was superbly acted, great sub plots, sad, happy, funny and of course a brilliant soundtrack. It made me feel nostalgic and had me in tears at points...I might even watch this again very soon.
Yeah, I'm surprised that they've done it through the whole series. It does tell the story very clearly, just a little bit too clearly, as if they are having to explain the events to a five year old. Odd dramatical choice, but other than that it's pretty darn good.

I can't believe I've never heard of this, see as it was developed where I grew up. Nothing 'creative' comes from there!Shadowman on playstation.
Looks good, too. Will check this out

I was reading the plot on Wiki last night - sounds dark! Wish I had a PC that could run games for the windows version that's out!

It's an old game now...Surely your PC could run it? I can run PS1 games on my phone
