I forced myself through the first series probably solely due to my weird Tamsin Greig crush. It's still going?

Boardwalk Empire's fifth season will be it's last. Glad to see it get a good run whilst going out before it overstays it's welcome.

I'm interested in Black Sails now that I remembered Starz was a thing. The Comic-Con reaction was good enough to get a second season order before the first had even started to air. It will be difficult to picture Sex Addict Orgy Guy from Shameless as anything else though.

To be expected, though.

Today is the 15-year anniversary of the debut of The Sopranos pilot. I've been watching a lot of Sopranos lately because I have HBO again, I think James Gandolfini's performance as Tony Soprano is the best performance in a dramatic series ever.

Archer did some targeted marketing on reddit, with posts to the gonewild subreddit. Slightly NSFW Imgur gallery.

My crush on Pam is probably unhealthy.

[Benji]

Bwahaha, Barry's being straight out of the danger zone video and Krieger just sitting there in tighty whities totally got me.

[Monkey D. Lars]

I'm going to start watching Deadwood now because it's short and it has Olyphant. Any good?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yes.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Great.

What a lovely evening for TV, Shameless returns and True Detective debuts!

[GoGo Yubari]

Also the Drinky Oscars with Fey and Poehler.

[LL!]

I WOULD be all caught up on the New Girl Netflix episodes just weeks after cancelling my Hulu Plus account.

[GoGo Yubari]

So at the Drinky Oscars Andy Samberg has won Best Lead Actor in a TV Comedy, Amy Poehler finally got her Best Lead Actress in a TV Comedy win, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine won Best TV Comedy.

Good work, Drinky Oscars. Good work.

Anyone catch True Detective? I thought it was a little slow but promising and dark as hell. I'll definitely be giving it another go next week. I did get a little confused, though. I probably just wasn't paying attention closely or got lost in the put-on Texas drawl but...

What is the connection between the ritual murder victim and the missing little girl they are investigating?

[Benji]

Anyone heard much about Helix? It sounds like it could potentially be a bit "30 Days of Night"-ish, but I think that may be wishful thinking.

[TKz]

Shameless doesn't hold quite the same punch it used to, but I can forever watch The Gallaghers be dicks to people whilst Emmy Rossum wanders around in her panties.

Talking US, of course. Fuck that UK bullshit.

I thought it was really good, especially for the first episode of the series. Will be interesting to see how it all comes together at the end.

Oddly enough, it feels like House of Lies has an entirely new punch. I still need to catch up on Shameless but idk, I probably won't.

[TKz]

If you've seen the first two seasons, you've seen it in it's prime. The rest depends on how much time you have for pretty fun shows and how much more Emmy Rossum in her panties you need in your day.

[Maxx]

I need lots.
