;weep Same thing, Hants - started off watching it and enjoyed the first 5 or 6 episodes but then lost patience/interest. Maybe my mistake was trying to watch 2 or 3 episodes at a time instead of one per week - it's flaws are more obvious.
Last things I watched and was able to enjoy the whole thing was The Wire (all 5 series, but I did have to take a short break between 3 and 4 as it was a bit harrowing) and West Wing (I know, it's old, but I didn't get to see t 1st time round).
I think the great thing with True Detective is that you're supposed to dislike both characters, because they have several flaws but, by the finale, you want the best for both of them, even though you shoudn't.
Some of the scenes. Loved the scene at the end of episode 3 just before they show you the first suspect walking through a field. Absolutely chilling.
Never rated McConaughey, but he is utterly brilliant in those 8 episodes.
Best movie ever: The Cook, the Thief.... (sex, violence and food!) Funniest Movie: Young Frankenstein (Mel Brookes and friends) Best TV show: Prisoner (Patrick McGoohan, not the wierdo remake) Best current TV show: Breathless (naughty gynecologists) Best music show: Later...with Jules Holland
Watched Ted again last night, Sherlock Dr Who Rocky Horror Picture Show Star Wars Anything by Pixar Alien 8 out of 10 Cats And anything to do with illusion and magic.
The Blues Brothers - my all time favorite film for so many reasons, the car chases, the humor and of course the music, what is there not to love.
My drive to work every day is over the junction where numerous police cars get written off and John Candy ends up in a truck.
TV - my DVD collection tells its own story, Inspectors Morse, Lewis and Endeavour, Poirot and George Gently, although Martin Shaws cockney accent is terrible.
Also have complete collections of Yes Minister and Ripping Yarns.
On my recent visit, everyone was raving about Mrs Browns Boys - gave it a try but although there is humor in there, it really was not my cup of tea - do not consider myself a prude at all but it relies far to heavily on really vulgar language for my liking
