Thinking of starting The Thick of It, anyone seen it? I've seen In The Loop a long time ago and never came around watching the TV show behind it, big fan of Malcolm Tucker and that general played by James Gandolfini.

seen all of it more than once. glorious show

Somehow haven't managed to see The Thick of It yet but have been meaning to for ages, especially being a civil servant.

Nice, thanks.

The Thick of It was bloody funny three or four years ago. Doubt time will have dimmed it too badly 🙂 Veep's decent too.

Veeps is great. Not many comedies these days can make me cry tears or laughter but Veep does it regularly. Armando Ianucci is one of the all time great comedy writers IMO.

Jens

Still as good as ever, 15 years on.

veep is the only show that consistently gets belly laughs from me. it started out as the thick of it lite, but it's just gotten better and better. pity ianucci will no longer be part of the show after this season.

Veep has also been on my list, sounds worth it.

arsedocmd

off to projectfreetv to start out on veep, which i avoided cos there's too many shows

kissdrama.net (formerly youtubeonfire.com) is another good free streaming site. just make sure you have an adblocker primed and ready before visiting

Still enjoying The Flash. Am 3 episodes behind but looks like it's going to be a pretty good end to the season. Spoiler (not a big plot one, but a cool reference I wouldn't want to spoil for anyone): Luke Skywalker turning up with the "I am your Father" line episode 17 was pretty cool.

Rex

Watched the first 5 episodes of Daredevil. Much, much better than Flash IMO. I like that it is gritty and dark, there are good characters, good acting, and the plot is interesting.

Burnwinter

Hmm, sounds like I need to catch up on Veep.

I've been checking out the third season of Vikings last few days. Show's getting better I think—it's cute how they use the imagery (and events) of northern myth to inspire the character arcs. Linus Roache is pretty hilarious as Ecbert as well.

Daz

Yep I'm really enjoying seasin 3 of Vikings. Last week's episode was pretty epic.

Biggus

I've checked it out Daz and its historically accurate.......

After a fashion.

I was out a few weeks ago and was wondering why my town had been taken over by a load of beardy weirdos. Turns out they we're all extras for Vikings which shoots locally.

They're at polar ends of the TV comic book show spectrum but are probably the 2 best (this year anyway) because of it. Flash is more fun, Daredevil is as you say a bit darker. I like how focussed it was though. It allowed Fisk to become a really good villain.

Qwiss

Forget Twin Peaks (its fucked anyway), forget X-Files, the big TV comeback news is The Muppets are getting a new show!

banduan

The look on Tyrion's face :gape:

Asterix

The Muppets is fantastic. So is Sesame Street to be fair. Bert and Ernie - simple classic humour. Jim Henson was a genius.
