Started watching Deadwood tonight.
I'd caught a few episodes now and then in the past but can't say that I know much of anything about the show aside from the setting and general tone. So many awesome actors in this!
I'm 2 episodes in and the two things that really stick out right now are: 1) John Hawkes is just as amazing as I thought he was and 2) Timothy Olyphant is definitely a better actor than I thought (why doesn't this guy do good movies??? i mean ... i've heard that his show, justified, is pretty good but meh) |
Haha yeah I fell asleep during that something about 4 movie he was in. Loved Justified though. I've only seen a few episodes of Deadwood, but they were consecutive, and at the end, but I think I'll watch the whole thing. Didn't remember Timothy Olyphant being in it honestly, so that's a big plus. I really, really enjoyed the two seasons of Justified immensely. A whole deal, if you want to be blunt.
Edit: I Am Number Four was the movie. All I remember is that Olyphant had long hair and there was something about a conspiracy of some sort? |

Guess I might as well share with you my views on Homeland.
I like it, I think. The acting is weak in some parts IMO, but overall it's a decent show that is a good way to spend an hour of your day on.
The driving force behind the show has to be the conflict between the two main characters (Nich & Carrie), and Claire Danes/Damian Lewis both deliver solid performances, especially in the latter half of the season. Danes is especially wonderful nearing the end of the season... I don't want to give out spoilers so I'll just say that her state is very believable.
It's a refreshing take on the countless post 9/11 terrorism/action tv shows/movies. |

I kinda hoped it would have more action, like Falling Skies. Really looking forward to seeing that again :)
Californication season 5 episode 1 is out btw. Looks like it's gonna be mostly the same, so I'm deffo looking forward to that as well :cool: |

Just watched the first two eps of Homeland. I'm hooked. Damien Lewis is such a good actor.
Apparently Terra Nova is pretty decent at the end of the season so I'll catch up this weekend. Stopped about half way. |

Terra Nova did get better towards the end of the season, but it's still nothing to cry about if you missed it.
Homeland has come highly recommended to me, that's next on my list. |

Just watched Homeland in one sitting. Holy ! , amazing. Love the whole terrorist plot, fantastically well written.
Damian Lewis and Clare Danes are ing incredible, especially in the 2 hour finale. Guys, get it and watch it. Second season will be insane. |

Ive been hearing great things about Downton Abbey recently so i checkeed it out, went trough the first three episodes in one sitting, the thing is awesome. The only problm is, this being a british show, the season is so short.
