TV Series: Discuss, Review, Anticipate, and Wotnot

[Deni]

It is barely a fantasy, according to OH it is 90% historical and 10% fantasy. We watched it yesterday and poor thin was so excited, I thought he would explode at one point, I need to ask him if his mouth is hurting from the intensive smiling...

I liked it as well, even though I haven't read the books, you can tell HBO invested a lot of their time and money in it.

It feels more like a fictional medieval story rather than fantasy.

I'm surprised Mr Glass hasn't posted his review yet, I know he was excited about seeing this...

Yeah I liked the first episode. Still thought it was a little difficult to keep track of everyone and what they were up to but I got enough of it. Will definitely carry on and see how it goes. Plenty of beheadings, blood and incest. Lovely stuff.

I plan to watch all 4 seasons of The Tudors on Blu Ray very soon... I should probably warn the neighbours to prepare for the effects...

On a separate note, I am catching up on so many tv shows, I love it. It's always more enjoyable when you watch a few episodes in a row from the same show. To be honest, I expected The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family to be funnier. Tomorrow Nikita and The Borgias. The Vampire Diaries is almost over Very sad about it... It's my favorite tv show at the moment (not because it is a vampire show btw, well not only... The lead actress Nina Dobrev is Bulgarian and a real sweetheart)

I tried watching Modern Family and really didn't get the hype. Very few laughs. As much as I love the American version of The Office even that's going a bit stale now (and will probably get much staler now Steve Carrell has left). I'm finding it very difficult to find any other US comedies I like.

[funthing29]

David, I strongly recommend you watch 'Community'.

It is a US comedy that, for some reason, was shown on a UK channel I've never heard of called Viva. Such a poor treatment of a prime quality show. If you can, I would suggest you watch it online. It is truly a brilliant show.

I've been meaning check out Community. I'm a big fan of Donald Glover who I know plays Troy in it. He's also an amazing rapper (Childish Gambino) and I'm a big fan of his music. Very talented guy. Actor, rapper, sitcom writer, standup, DJ, can sing too! It doesn't seem fair.
