I kind of love some of the names my torrents come with.

Recent favorites include Shameless being "emmys boobs" and Parks and Rec being "wherefore art though john ralphio".

[Benji]

Just pay for Netflix, you cheapskate :/

Most people don't wait to binge watch EVERY show they like, Benji.

I do pay for Netflix, I've had a sub for ages.

I'm not going to wait a fucking year for Game of Thrones, Shameless, or just maybe forever for half the shows that don't make it across the waters.

Seriously - point me to a place I can legally pay for all the content I want and not have to wait fucking forever and I'll give up torrents tonight.

[Benji]

Ah, if it's new content then yeah, fuck waiting for the UK to air it.

[TKz]

Yeah, old content it's actually easier to pay for it.

It's crazy how making it easier to pay for the content gets people to pay for it. It's almost like the entire reason most of us torrent is because they make it such a fucking hardship to keep up.

Long live our new Netflix overlords, down with the archaic structures of traditional television.

[Benji]

I feel like I want to like House of Fools, but it's just not doing it for me. Vic and Bob tend to be wonderful or awful depending on what they're doing, but this is an awful one. Even Matt Berry can't save it

[TKz]

I doubt I'll ever get around to The Crazy Ones, but I'm just kind of happy to see that Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar have an on screen presence in some capacity.

[Benji]

Uncle on the other hand is wonderfully funny. If it weren't for BBC3, BBC comedy would be abysmal.

[Lint]

Speaking of waiting for content, I'm thinking of ditching cable and going strictly streaming. How soon are new shows added ti Hulu Plus? Like this weeks Arrow thats airong tomorrow, when would it be on Hulu Plus? Also how much does it cost?

Finally got around to watching Brooklyn 99 since it arrived in the UK on Thursday. Expected crap from what I'd seen of the adverts, but can now see why it gets a lot of praise. Got a few laughs out of me looks strong to carry on.

I thought the same. The trailer made it look on the same quality-level as Dads, but really, it's outstanding. One of the few shows that I can find regularly entertaining week on week.

Uncle on the other hand is wonderfully funny. If it weren't for BBC3, BBC comedy would be abysmal.

I found Uncle a bit so-so, but BBC3 is quite good for comedy. I loved Bad Education.

Also - more people need to watch series 2 of The Bridge because I have nobody to discuss it with. It's all on iPlayer. The Guardian called it the best TV show since Breaking Bad. I am nearly at the point where I am just going to torrent the last four episodes, as I can't wait to see it on TV. >_>

[Benjamin]

I love Emmy Rossum. She can do no wrong. That kid playing Carl, Ethan Cutofsky (?), is really blossoming as well, I love his plotlines. Freaking great Shameless episode, plus the show as a whole got even more awesome with Johanna Braddy added to it (hopefully she becomes a regular!).

Apparently the wife digs "Looking". Seeing as though her pedigree includes "Girls", "Big Bang Theory", and "Grey's Anatomy", interpret her opinion as you see fit.

[Benji]

I like Grey's, am middling on Big Bang and have never seen the appeal in Girls. I don't know what to do

[King Ellis]

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

[Benjamin]

So um, True Detective episode 2:

The black cops think Rusty did it, right? That he used an MO of a case he had worked on.

[livid]

Well, considering that the internet won't shut up about about the social/political impact of the series like everybody does with Girls...

A sequel to Twenty-Twelve, W1A is being made - Hugh Bonneville overseeing the BBC's move into new Broadcasting House. They were filming in our newsroom over the weekend. So I have high hopes for that!

[TKz]

It kills me to see Yvonne Strahovski referred to as "Dexter's Yvonne Strahovski". You're so much better than that.

How I feel when that happens.
