OK.....so.....i like watching the idiot box. Well.....i say 'idiot box'. But, apart from the f1 & the match of the day, i dont watch 'linear' TV as such.
The reason for this post. House Of Cards. Episode 11 of season 2 (titled 'chapter 24'). Oh. My. God.
Thats it, really. I guess i shouldnt spoil it. But..... VP Frank's married life is CRAZY!!!!

Scrotal Recall, late to it but quite liked it, bit cheesy at the end? Scotia is always welcome, naturally.
The Fall, it's antithesis, is a waiting-for-the-awfulness-oh-blimey-there-it-is kind of programme. So creepy, shouldn't like it but do. Now please wash your hands.

Still loving The Fall. The babysitter is totally unbelievable though. But we re-watched series one on iplayer before starting series 2 and glad we did.
Homeland has got it's mojo back, especially now they've ditched Brodie's annoying family.

I'm quite a big fan of a lot of the stuff on Sky Atlantic, Penny Dreadful was fantastic, and I was delighted when it got renewed, and I'm also looking forward to Fortitude which starts in January.
We're enjoying Sleepy Hollow at the moment as well. It's not what you could call intellectually challenging, but it's good fun, and the story is developing nicely, with some really dark edges

What, just ten episodes of Seinfeld on a screen?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

...and I am so old I used an acronym that my phone suggested. FML... (but in using THAT acronym, I had to read THIS contextual explanation on Urban Dictionary (UD?) - "Today, I put skittles up my vagina, to be cute for my boyfriend on valentines day, so i would taste good. As he was eating me out, he pushed one skittle up so far and couldn't get it out. I ended in up in the ER for 4 hours, with laughing nurses. FML.")

Can I cope with The Fall & Black Mirror in the same week, though? Utopia was so disturbingly good, but there's always the danger these thing will go stale.

okay, so this isn't TV but already enough threads to keep on top of without a radio thread too.
this afternoon was doing the ironing and Liz Kershaw was on 6music. don't often listen to her (circumstances rather than any predisposition) but she gobsmacked me today.
listener tweets / emails that she is having a miserable day in the rain, that she is the 'saddest girl in the world' as she has just been dumped, by text, by boyfriend of a year who she 'still loves to bits'. AWWW!. could Liz play her something to lift her up a bit and brighten her day?
so Liz plays River Deep Mountain High.................? judge for yourself the empathy, here are the lyrics:
When I was a little girl I had a rag doll Only doll I've ever owned Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger, in every way And it gets deeper, let me say And it gets higher, day by day
And do I love you my oh my Yeah river deep mountain high If I lost you would I cry Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
When you were a young boy Did you have a puppy That always followed you around Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy No I'll never let you down
Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows
And do I love you my oh my Yeah river deep, mountain high If I lost you would I cry Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring And I love you baby just like Robin loves to sing And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet And I love you baby, river deep mountain high
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby River deep, mountain high If I lost you would I cry Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

i was gonna start a radio & podcast thread.....you say i shouldnt?
ANYWAYS.....i recently finished Orange Is The New Black season 2. I had issues with S1, which started REALLY well, but seemed to get a little lost & didnt know if it wanted to be dark drama or cartoon-y whimsy. And kinda did neither.
BUT....season 2 is much more focused & much better for it. ITs not as grimey & dark, although still has a dark edge.....
I dont know what im trying to say, its late. Im tired. Its good though.

Got Deadwood in the sales over xmas. Missed my radar when it was on. Typical brilliant HBO quality. Also just finished The West Wing. Watched all 7 seasons on demand in 3 months. Didn't think it would be my thing but up there with Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad.

Just watched all three series of Deadwood. Absolutely brilliant writing. Gutted they weren't allowed to finish all the storylines with the planned fourth series, but still excellent. I thought Lovejoy was particularly good Not seen Fortitude yet as it's on Sky, but I will.

West Wing is THE best thing to ever have been on the idiot box ever. Despite its AWFUL theme music.
That is all.
