    Watched American Hustle at weekend disappointing to say the least it was about and hour and half too long, I've seen better episodes of Hustle on BBC one

    One of my favourite TV programmes, The Apprentice starts again on Tuesday.

    Anyone seen any good new programmes/films recently?

    First Bollywood film I've ever wanted to watch is out now, Haider. Haven't been able to get it in English subtitles -- for some reasons, Indians are happy to watch it in Hindi ;hmm

    It's an adaptation of Hamlet set in Indian-occupied Kashmir. I was actually there when it was released and it's interesting. Nationalist Indians refuse to watch, liberal Indians love it and a lot of Kashmiris think its a poor portrayal. Written by a Kashmiri but apparently went through about 40 cuts for an Indian audience.

    Does anyone have a web based show they like? On Netflix or YouTube etc.? I guess comedy is the main thing you get on these...

    I watch 'A house of cards' on Netflix which was recommended on this thread.

    It's very good, Kevin Spacy is superb.

    outcast, if you are internet enabled where you are, you could always subscribe to a proxy server so that you can get BBC and ITV programmes through their iplayer services.

    (I'm assuming you are asking about web-based shows because of limited viewing options in Pakistan?)

    Might watch "The Kings speech" again tonight ;biggrin

    Suz, I've watched both seasons ;ok (I think I recommended it ;lol)

    Thanks MrsGrey - I already have a VPN and there's actually way more TV options in India and Bangladesh than UK. Sometimes stuff produced for the web is more interesting though - like House of Cards, Lillyhammer etc. And there are some good independent shows that people produce but are hard to find.

    ;doh ;lol

    Outcast - I saw something called Happy Valley on my recent flight to the UK. Set in Lancashire, about a police sargeant and how she deals with a personal tragedy that affects her work, It went straight on to Netflix US over here. Not sure if it's your thing, but It starred Sarah Lancashire, who many years ago was the ditzy barmaid in Coronation Street, and she was a revelation in the role.

    Tex

    It was one of the best dramas on TV in recent years.

    Sarah Lancashire was outstanding.

    Luke, what did you think of the 1st Homeland episode mate? Thought it was v good, back to the 'old style episode' which made it so good in the first place.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Twist - I thought it was very promising. ;ok

    Agree with your comment. Seemed much more structured and realistic, as opposed to 'bomb a minute action'. Hopefully they build the tension and suspense over the coming weeks. The problem with the second half of season 2 and season 3 is that it became so unbelievable.

    Incredibly haunting the way Carrie takes the lives of people through her job and then just goes home and opens a bottle of wine to Skype her sister. Just shows you how something like that is just another day at the office.

    Far better than season 3 already.
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Luke ;ok

    Yeah i think that was starting to hit home at the last bit of the episode. Like Quinn reacted completely different + Carrie just seems to be like a machine + just carries on. Hope to see Saul back next week ;pray

    Half-way through Season 4.

    Decent enough show, but what a soundtrack!
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    PLF, was going to give that show a try as i've heard good things, but think i'm too late, isn't it like the 8th/9th series now?
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Greys, started The Blacklist season 2 yet?
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot

  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer

  • MoojorMoojor

  • MoojorMoojor
    I think I still need to watch the second half of season 4. Might download that and put it on the tablet.
    Must admit it got some funny looks on the train first thing in the morning, someone sat next to me, started to eat their breakfast on the train, got put off by a zombie chewing someones face off :)
