Am I really the only douchebag in here who watched DaVinci's Demons? That show is massively entertaining to me and I'm sad I have to wait til the next season starts :cry:

I have to admit that House of Cards never really grabbed me. Everything feels so sterile and programmed. Great performances, though, so I can see why people go nuts for it.

I am re-watching Deadwood, you cocksuckers.

Why? Because she has thin lips that she seems to have a lot of muscle control over . :cop:

Dude you're right and I fully agree. She reminds me of Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones who also has spectacular lips. :drool:

Ooh! Good call. Didn't they do a "young Foyle" series, too? Can't remember the name.

Not that what I currently watch is of higher quality or anything though. Breaking Bad and House of Cards has forever changed my outlook on what a drama should be. Mad Men is pretty close, but some of the actors aren't as good as they could be.

I just want Top Gear to come back on. It's such a great show and it makes me laugh unlike any other.


Can't wait for Top Gear. And I got kind bored with Mad Men middle of season 4 I think? Whenever Don was with the new chick. Just stopped watching.


Clarkson tweeted that the next season will start in Jan 2015. Maybe.


Weren't they supposed to do a mid year special on the LaFerrari/918/P1?

Anyone watching "Manhattan"? Seems pretty interesting so far, plus there was fuck scene and another chick showed her tits last night, so I guess I'm hooked now.

Started watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Andy Samberg is funny as hell as well as the rest of the cast. Probably best use of Joe Lo Truglio I have ever seen. Andre Braugher is excellent as well. Deadpan delivery like a motherf**ker.

Necro bump for The Flash.

It's not a great show, but the premise is great. I'm an unabashed comic book fan and they're how I learned to read. I've been waiting for a decent Flash show since I was a kid. This one is ok, and could end up really good. The chick playing Iris is uber hot, and watching dude explore his powers is entertaining. I could see how they really couldn't do it until now; the tech wasn't there.

Trying to figure out which of the current characters is Eobard Thawne; either the professor or Iris's cop boyfriend. Should be interesting to see this play out.

Cops.

Oh man, all the white trash of Palmdale, the broke honkeys of vegas, the hood rats in Missouri and the border brochachos in riverside.

What a great piece of programming; illustrating that America is indeed the greatest land of all.

This. I was a latecomer to this show and watched all 3 seasons within a few weeks. I'm a huge huge fan of Mads Mikkelsen but the whole cast is great. The story, the setting, the writing, the way it's filmed... so good.

I'll write out my list in a bit but had to say.... i'm sure most of you have not seen the UK show Misfits. Stop what you're doing and watch it.

It's like Heroes but when a bunch of fuck ups get powers. It's hilarious, riveting, action packed, drama filled.... man, one of the best series i've seen. All 5 seasons are on Hulu i believe.
