Just go done watching the second to last episode of Game of Thrones. Holy hell. So good. Must finish watching tonight, and begin reading the books soon.
sherlock is back
Just went through The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, which is just that. It's a program done by IFC over here in partnership with Channel 4, and the two distinct styles blend well. Basically Todd Margaret (played by David Cross) is a guy who is a temp in Portland, Oregon that gets promoted to international manager of accounts and sent to London in order to sell a North Korean energy drink called Thunder Muscle that may or may not be unsafe for human consumption.
It's fucking brilliant, and the fish out of water nature by an American in London is all the more amusing given my recent past.

I love this show!!
It's hard to go wrong with anything involving David Cross and Will Arnett. New season starts this Friday night, I believe.Portlandia is also brilliant. IFC has some great programming.
Smarmosaurus.

Just finished Breaking Bad season 4. And... um...
OH MY SWEET WNGIOWEGPONWOGBE[GMEQ[OBNQOUBGUOQNB]IPQB[RNPFNWEKLNGOIWN[GOQEWBNG[WREQONGOUQRBGHOUEQBGORNKSBN KREBH[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thought it was ending all rosy. I'm even looking at the runtime, oh there's only a minute left, what could possibly happen, this ending is way to happy for Breaking Bad, how are they going to have a Season 5 with this ending, etc etc etc
Then.
WHAM. Last 10 seconds was easily the craziest thing I have ever seen in the history of TV shows. Well, maybe rivaled by the Dexter season 4 finale, but I accidently ruined that before hand, like I've fucking done again with season 6.
Anyway, holy crap. Breaking Bad.... continues to surprise. That's sum gud telervisun right thur.

no clue what they're gonna throw at us for season 5. I have a few ideas of what they might do, but I don't know. Whatever it is, it's gonna be fucking nuts.

this. I too was almost sure that it was such a nice and sweet ending and then
Holy cow!!! What????I won't spoil anything but I guess I almost feel more sorry for Jesse than for anyone else, heh.
Just finished the second series of Boardwalk Empire. Jesus fucking christ.
shut up and kiss me you walking infection
Almost done with season 1 of Heroes, great stuff.
I've watched a few good things lately. Last month: The Sherlock mini-series was indeed great. The three nights of BBC Stargazing Live was eminently enjoyable - funny and entertaining.
Current shows I'm enjoying include 'Stella' and 'Call the Midwife' (bit of costume drama for Sunday nights in winter is always nice.)
Tried watching the US show 'New Girl' but after two episodes we gave up. Too exasperating and narcissistic.
Mrs Brown's Boys - Leechy? Wtf is that all about? I can't decide if it's terrible or awesome. A bit of both. Some of the jokes are dead funny though. It's like a foul mouthed Pantomime Dame meets Till Death Us Do Part with a corny 70s feel about it all. By turns there's belly laughs and embarrassing facepalm moments.

Just rewatched all of Louie: Season 2. I honestly think it's the best thing on TV that isn't Breaking Bad.

THIS. The episodes with Pamela Adlon were especially good.

I can't think of a weak one as they all covered different, interesting bits of ground. Afghanistan was the one that stood out to me.
oh man, I forgot all about that one. I remember being really nervous about the *SPOILER ALERT!*
Duck when he first found out about. I thought something horrible was gonna happen, but he threw me a really beautiful, hopeful curve ball with that one.
That show just leaves me with a feeling after each episode. Sure, sometimes it's kinda sad, but I'm always left with kind of good feeling. It's like when I see a snippet of anything played on MTV, or go to a huge collage party, I'm left with this really depressed and angry feeling, because people like that just bum me out. I get the exact opposite effect after watching that show.
