Portlandia Season 3 has started! ^___^

And Misfits Season 4 has ended. It's not an amazing show, but I love the self-awareness it has of the tropes it has.

And Dexter Season 7 has ended. That finale was tense. Balls a-tingling. I felt it was going that way but still. Tingle tingle.

So Lori finally dies and they had to fill the stupid void?

[Hector Garfria]

yes? what?

[ZombiePlatypus]

You should just stick with Sunny, Used. Why you keep going back to The Walking Dead?

[usedtabe]

Well, I like the Governor character and I'm bored at work. I prefer watching Sunny at home on the big screen.


Speaking of, rewatched season 4 of Breaking Bad to catch Grunchkin up and realized I missed a lot of small details while half-assed watching it at work on streaming sites. It's also hilarious going back and forth between BB and Malcolm in the Middle.

...Misfits Season 8 has ended. It's not an amazing show, but I love the self-awareness it has of the tropes it has.

Yeah, shame the series are so short, I just got into this season and it's already over :/

[Changston]

How much time elapses between seasons for the UK? I thought you just filmed season 3.

[Tarvu]

I typo'd Misfits because I was probably thinking of something else when I did it. Television over here doesn't tend to fit the same cycles that you guys use to grind all originality out of anything (In fairness, there is very little worth watching on British television these days compared to 'Murican TV). We have shorter seasons and generally the next season comes when it damn pleases. Of the shows I've watched recently, Peep Show Seasons have been made at irregular intervals for quite a few years now, Misfits has shown around the same time annually and QI has generally managed to record every summer and show ever Autumn for a decade now.

Watched about 3 random episodes of Outnumbered. I can see the charm, but sometimes the kids are just fucking annoying.

[Tarvu]

Yeah, I don't care for the second coming of My Family. This one didn't even have Kris Marshall in at the start!

[nmcmahan52]

holy shit the homeland finale was good

[Stevil]

It better be.

The last few episodes have been absurd.

[Edd Strid]

Yeah, I don't care for the second coming of My Family. This one didn't even have Kris Marshall in at the start!

Is there a decent British show that hasn't ended at the moment?

Sure we have our staple of trusted panel shows (although they're wearing thin) but I haven't noticed anything akin to Spaced, IT Crowd, Being Human, The Inbetweeners or Peep Show for a while. Or at least nothing worth sticking with.

[Tarvu]

Panel shows aren't the same, no matter how scripted they really are. QI is good though, for being the least fake.

Peep Show is airing right now, it's halfway through a season or so. Being Human isn't over yet either, though it fucking should be.

I've seen a few worthwhile things currently airing this year: Cuckoo, Hebburn and Fresh Meat. I'd guess they could all potentially return for new seasons but I'd only want to see it from Fresh Meat, since it is about Students and they generally spend at least three years doing Studenting.

[ZombiePlatypus]

Cuckoo is the Andy Samberg vehicle, yeah? How is that, beyond "worthwhile"?

[Panzadolphin56]

Yeah, I don't care for the second coming of My Family. This one didn't even have Kris Marshall in at the start!

Always a shame to miss out on his quality acting :/

[Edd Strid]

Only mentioned a few known shows in my post but I've particularly enjoyed Hebburn and Fresh Meat too.

I'll check out Cuckoo when I can.

[Tarvu]

Before Hebburn I had also watched Catterick for the first time. I do like that Vic Reeves.

Cuckoo is the Andy Samberg vehicle, yeah? How is that, beyond "worthwhile"?

Not a fan? It also had Greg Davies in, but you're such a racist fuck you wouldn't know who he is.

Always a shame to miss out on his quality acting :/

That's why I consider the series to have been dead after season 4.

[vJ!]

Finally got the time to catch the Dexter finale!
Man it was intense!
but

Spoiler!

I saw La Guerta's goodbye coming, but on Dex's table with an intense conversation.
Never had I imagined her being put down by Deb! O_O
Well however it was, now i really gotta dig into The Office to forget that i have to wait 8-10 months for the next episode, knowing that it might be the last season.. :/

[Edd Strid]

Not a fan? It also had Greg Davies in, but you're such a racist fuck you wouldn't know who he is.

He got the biggest laugh out of me for the Inbetweeners movie and it wasn't even part of the story.
