The answer will be The Rock once his HBO pilot is picked up.

Yep.

[Benjamin]

Man, it's crazy to see after all these years that The Rock's first role was a half-man, half-scorpion thing that got beaten by Brendan Frasier. I miss the Mummy Returns.

Also, screw his HBO show, that Hero thing sounds like the crazy reality show I'd love.

[EddieG]

Then go watch it It was a great show.

Just one thing about this week's Boardwalk episode...

Trollied is still an awesome show, even 3 series in, but it says a lot when the first average episode of the current batch comes when Colin is nowhere to be seen.

[Benji]

To be honest, I think season three has been pretty poor. The lack of Mark Addy has really hurt the last two episodes, and of the new characters I only like the fish counter duo.

[Benjamin]

Episode 3 of The Blacklist had this line of dialogue from James Spader:

I prefer to play with myself in private.

Draw your own conclusions.

Anyone else watching Peaky Blinders? Just watched the 3rd episode and I think it's fantastic; each episode just gets better and better. Also just been introduced to Brass Eye, which is fucking hilarious, and so is one of the Alan Partridge TV shows. Wonderful stuff.

[Gazz]

You've only just been introduced to Brass Eye?

I weep for you and your peers.

[Walker]

UK people, is The Wrong Mans any good? BBC won't shut up about it but I can trust James Corden.

Just watched episode 4 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and yup, Terry Crews should only do Michael Schur projects from now on because holy shit is he fantastic on them.

[Benjamin]

Yeah, after a rocky second episode (where the only good thing was Terry Crews), the third and fourth ones were really funny. Hoult and Terry are still my favourites, though.

Also, I'm really digging The Goldbergs.

Begging Dan Harmon to just shut the fuck up for a while

[MalaCloudy Black]

It seems like every time he opens his mouth, he says something regrettably dumb.

[livid]

In other There Are Some Shitty Showrunners Out There news, Kurt Sutter apparently doesn't like the bad reviews that SoA is getting on AV Club. The reviewer, Zach Handlen confirms that the tweet describes him.

His Twitter feed always made it pretty apparent that Sutter was a dick but I didn't quite realize how petty he was, either.

[TKz]

Yeah, Sutter thinks his show is a lot better than it is.

But yeah, fuck Harmon. I can't wait for him to disappear for a while once Community ends because he's just kind of a colossal dick that really needs a PR Manager. I'm not sure what's more pathetic, him or his cult of personality followers. (don't ever go into the Community subreddit. Especially not if you actually thought Season 4 was better than 3 in some episodes)

[Jimmy]

Latest Peaky Blinders episode was even better than the last, Cillian Murphy, and the acting in general, is just something else. I'm hoping it's critical success, and decent viewing figures (averaging 2 million people) will not only get it a 2nd season, but also encourage more film stars to come work in British TV.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Man, Andre Braugher and Terry Crews totally kill it in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Melissa Fumero's got chops too, that walk away from the Captain in this week's episode was great.
