Re: Please suggest an english TV series
ENTOURAGE SPOILERS
i hate to say this but i don't really like this season of entourage much. i can understand the overall direction the show is taking with all the 4 main characters taking different paths in life, but the individual stories just aren't that great. eric being hung up on sloan is seriously irritating now (as is ashley for that matter). johnny drama and turtle just seem to be meandering along with their lives, and vince doesn't have anything happening. a stalker who broke into their house to steal their underwear is the only subplot that vince is involved in... wtf man. that's just stupid. and to top it off, ari has nothing to do with their lives now. the andrew kline affair is boring too.

Re: Please suggest an english TV series
sadly i think it's too late for this season. this week was episode 8, so they have only 4 more episodes left in the season. that's the problem with cable shows that have 10-12 episodes per season... if things get bad, it generally sets the tone for the rest of the season. the longer shows which have 22-24 episodes in a season can have a few bad episodes and still turn it around later.
another bad point is that the 4 guys don't have a lot of scenes together. those used to provide some of the most entertaining moments of the show.

Re: Please suggest an english TV series
so i just finished watching the first and only season of a show called sons of anarchy and damn it is awesome. riveting stuff, i watched all 13 episodes back to back.
trailer for the show -

description from tv.com
despite the unfamiliar and strange setting of a motorcycle gang, this show is extremely well written. it has everything... politics, corruption, betrayal, lies, secrets, action, mystery, drama and even humor. wonderful writing, great characters and storylines... damn i can't recommend it enough. if anyone has some time, check it out. season 2 starts on september 8th, so there's just enough to time to catch up :bleh:
great show... no idea why i waited so long to watch it.

Re: Please suggest an english TV series
i hope you enjoy it as much as i did
just a heads up... the show has an ensemble cast. which means, in the first episode, you are introduced to about 8-10 main characters and their storylines... as a result, i was kind of struggling to keep up right at the beginning... but by episode 2/3, everything had fallen into place
Sei said:^Such a lot of praise! Going to get it immediately Sir!

i know. of all the things that have gone wrong with this season, ari gold's diminished role is right at the top of the list of disappointments
Sei said:Even Ari's lines don't have that punch anymore. The only fun part was Andrew's wife screaming on him.

Re: Please suggest an english TV series
why do i have to be the one to keep bumping this thread
anyway i watched the first season of the mentalist and i thought it was strictly average, timepass stuff just as i had suspected. the main plot of red john was touched in 3 out of 23 episodes in the season, which is just bad writing. other than that, it had it's moments, especially with the humor but otherwise it was quite bland. not really sure how it became so popular...
and has anyone watched the new cw shows that started up this week? the vampire diaries and melrose place... i'm fairly sure they suck, just wanted to know how badly they suck.
