  • Anyone watched Marco Polo on netflix, it's one of their "originals." I'm not sold on the first couple of episodes to be honest...
  • One of the best comedy films ever has to be Steve Martin in "The Jerk".
  • Outcast - Marco Polo is ok, but it doesn't really get much better. I watch it for something to do, rather than wanting to watch it.
  • ;ok Brookings.

    Oooo I saw a clip of that when I went to the flicks over Christmas.

    It looked realy good.
  • Thanks Brookings.
  • Anyone watched anything decent recently?
  • Twist

    Started watching Agent Carter, from the Marvel stable, a spin-off from Captain America, if you like that sort of thing.
  • Blacklist is back and kicked off with an amazing first episode last week.

    Marvels agents of Shield and Gotham i think are back this month or next.

    But its only 5 WEEKS TILL GAME OF THRONES !!!!! ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo ;wahoo

    Sorry Grey, missed this. Not really my sort of thing but thanks for the suggestion!

    Still watching Blacklist?
  • No worries.

    Liked the first few episodes, but then it got a bit meh, so stopped.

    Yep, Blacklist is still one of my faves.

    I like the way they introduce difficulties, but resolve then relatively quickly, rather than having them dragging around the characters for ages.
  • It's old but I've started watching Southland - cop show set in LA. Been through the first season. Personally think it's really good. Enjoy their efforts to look at the social efforts; the way police resources can be directed to the rich, the issues behind witness protection, the attitudes within the police force etc.
  • Agent Keane ;carew

    Gotham has kicked off again

    Marvels Agents of Shield is back this week

    Walking dead Second last episode Today

    Game of Thrones in 3 weeks.

  • Yeold. All that came to my mind there was

  • For those who watched the first series, Vikings series 2 starts tomorrow (Tue 24th) on the Sky History Channel at 10.00pm.
  • Admeus, Series 2 or 3? It's on it's third series now but maybe the UK is (way) behind.
  • What do you think of House of Cards? I found the first episode of season three really boring. Haven't felt the need to go back to it since.
  • ;ok M-H, I meant this season. I really enjoyed the first two seasons but the first episode of this one felt really different. I got through the first two seasons in a few days; this one, I haven't gone back to it at all.
  • Watched Edge of Tomorrow enjoyed watching Tom Cruise getting killed repeatedly . A bit of a silly story but a decent pop corn film and Tom being amusing cowardly

    House of Cards is brilliant

    Completely disagree about blacklist, not a one show wonder imo. James Spader is brilliant, currently one of my favourite actors on TV and the story line is still brilliant.
  • m_h

    Well, apparently you aren't watching it...

    Not sure where you get the idea it has 'loads of pretty faces'.

    It's great 'popcorn' watching, for me.

    It isn't 'The Wire' or 'The West Wing', but then, it isn't trying to be.

    For me, it is the modern equivalent of shows like Mission Impossible or The Saint.
  • Blacklist i guess is different to you and I

    HOC though, definitely good not best TV show for me though. Game of Thrones takes that title quite easily by a country mile. HOC i found particular last series, has a good start then drops for a few episodes then picks up towards the end, imo very inconsistent. But when it is good it definitely is some of the best TV around.

    My TV habits are very much all over the place.

    I love Marvels agents of shield, even if it is cheesey (also best Female looking cast i ever seen in a TV program ;carew)
    I love GOT then again who doesn't.
    I love the Walking dead, even despite some episode floundering in places.

    HOC / Gotham / Blacklist / Mentalist e.t.c.

    I guess it depends if you have specific habits and so gravitate to certain programs or not.

    EDIT: i even watch some of the BBC stuff like The Musketeers for some cheap easy going entertainment and the 100 (which to be fair the second series of the 100 really has taken the show to a whole new level, first series was pretty bad, but credit to the massive improvements in second)

    Being told to watch Fortitude by a few people at work, one that if you can get past the first 2 episodes really kicks in later on. Anyone seen ?
  • Sorry, m_h, when you wrote 'Blacklist is dire' I assumed that you wouldn't be watching it.

    I don't watch anything I think is dire, but maybe you have to for professional reasons.

    Personally, I take the show on its own terms, and enjoy it.
  • Moone Boy ;ok

    Braquo is a good french cop show watched two series so far . Quite like the Musketeers well made, decent character development pantomine villians . Just started Critical on Sky 1 not one if you are eating your dinner extremely graphic surgery scenes
  • I enjoyed Spartacus but it was very difficult seeing past the nudity. ;biggrin
  • Being told to watch Fortitude by a few people at work, one that if you can get past the first 2 episodes really kicks in later on. Anyone seen ?
    Yes, I have watched the whole series so far, So many unanswered questions,I vow to not watch another one, until it gets to that time
  • Just a heads up for anyone who is interested - This Is Spinal Tap is showing on ITV 4 this Friday 12.20 am ;wahoo
