I haven't been following wwe this year and if they're getting Sting in years too late I'm glad I'm not. He couldn't even cut it in TNA 5 years ago. And there he is with fellow hasbeen HHH. Who will he face at Mania, old man Taker?

Rex

Heh. I clicked the vid because I thought I'd see the recording artist Sting in wrestling. 🙂

I'm going to miss this show. TV always needs more Sorkin.

The Newsroom a good show?

Just started season 4 of Oz. Only half like it tbh. The portrayed stupidity of management makes me cringe more than a little bit.

Klaus

Newsroom is great. Not Sorkin's best work but it still holds its own among the current programs on HBO. You'll like it if you liked The West Wing.

i won't follow what happens next because it will be terrible. was just cool to see the stinger in the wwe finally. he was THE guy in the late 90s, so yeah, maybe a bit too late :opti:

I like The Newsroom, but I'm a soft left wing liberal type who can't stand commercial "news". It's basically a rant against Fox News and the Tea Party.

Is Broadchurch worth watching?

Klaus

I liked Broadchurch a lot, and I'm not usually a fan of the genre.

invisibleman18

Broadchurch is a must watch. Really compelling viewing for a effectively a whodunit. And so unpredictable too, I genuinely had no idea until everything was revealed in the finale. Recommend watching Happy Valley afterwards which is equally compelling, although somehow even more grim.

Fixed that for you :boris:

i think Newsroom is brilliant. the dialog and the banter between the characters is great.. personally, i havent seen Jeff Daniels in anything that i have liked more. (and im the furthest thing from a soft left wing liberal.. lol).. im very disappointed that its done after this season.

Broadchurch.. meh.. i DO like that genre quite often, but i just couldnt get into this show.. gave it a couple episodes, and realized i just didnt care about any of the characters. Some will love it, i just didnt...

I'm five episodes into Hannibal, not bad at all. The downside is the typical "case of the week", even though Hannibal does it better than most. I've notices that many series use a case of the week the first season and then move away from it though. Does Hannibal have a new case every week in the second season as well?

Klaus

At first. They start to move away from the procedural structure eventually, though. I think it happens halfway through season 2. It's a nuisance, but it's the unfortunate reality of most network shows in the beginning. It looks like next season will play out more like a serial drama.

I'm shocked that people here like Newsroom so much.

i agree with this. I liked Hannibal at first too.. by the end of the first season, i was completely disinterested...
