English TV series discussion

Brooklyin nine nine is fantastic. What clever writing and all the cast members complement each other. My favorite is Gina , the way she injects sarcasm into her statements , plus her laid back and goofy conversation style. The train wreck that BBT, 2.5 men, HIMYM( the episodes airing now are good though) are suffering in the current season , its refreshing to see an original and delightful comedy

Yeah, one of rare recent sitcoms that is watchable, along with Trophy Wife.
 
Just watched the latest True Detective. I have tears in my eyes because I cannot believe a TV show could be this awesome.
After a lot of gothic stuff in the previous episodes, there was intense build up to an absolutely fantastic and heart pumping action packed ending in this episode.
More people need to watch this show.

Almost done with American Horror Story Coven. This show has some really twisted minds behind it. This season centres around Witchcraft and all that crazy shit that goes along with it. FOX should really introduce fresh characters rather than just constantly recycling the same bunch in each season. Jessica Lange, as always, dominates this season too. Sarah Paulson comes in a close second. Lily Rabe is a massive step down from her role in the last season (which was awesome). Not sure why they even bothered retaining Evan Peters. Emma Roberts is a good addition. The storyline is very straight forward in this season. However, the back-story of each character is revealed over the course of the episodes. Good amount of gore, but some parts are way too cheesy and retarded. Let's see how this ends.

I'll start Dracula right after I'm done with this.

One of the most wonderful show on TV right now. Gonna be as awesome as BrBa.

and latest epi of Banshee was very very boring. Felt like they were experimenting, but they failed miserably.

I read somewhere that the whole final sequence was shot in one take. If that's true, that is seriously awesome work from everyone involved.

Having been impressed quite a bit with S01, I picked up the UK version House of Cards Trilogy. Excellent show with taut and crisp storytelling with only 4 one-hour episodes per season/series. I found the US version S01 unnecessarily long when seen in context with the number of characters that mattered. And dare I say, in terms of utter seriousness and confidence, Ian Richardson does often outdo Spacey as the protagonist (his scenes in the British Parliament are a joy to watch). No fault of Spacey though; his marvelous acting didn't always have the best script/writing to go hand-in-hand.

Nevertheless, eager to see what direction the US version adopts for its second season!

I share your sentiments, another couple days, I presume? I have great things about the British version too, most brit shows are short and sweet, the Office is another example.

It will be one day after Feb 14. for us. And for those with no access to Netflix, they'll have to wait for torrents. It will take some time to capture the playing stream and bundle the episodes. It's not a simple task for even the pirates, but yeah, watching them all at once would be one heck of a time. I hope it won't disappoint. They've already renewed for a third season.
 
^^ definitely worth watching.

Not as cool as the sequences in Children of Men or Goong. Sort of felt like GTA.

Anyone watch the latest season of House of Lies? Much better than last season.
 
Whaaaat! House of Cards Season 2 will be available in full?!?! What is this mad generosity?!
Well, there goes another weekend for me.

I also didn't know there's a UK version. Thanks for that piece of info to whoever posted it.
