TV - what are you watching?

Recommended Posts

Right now, I'm making my way through Outrageous Fortune.

 

I missed the first few seasons when it first came out, and after that it never seemed worth starting halfway through - even though everyone raved about it. I never knew what I was missing out on!

 

Now that TV3's got it on demand, I'm able to see exactly why everyone was going nuts over it. It's absolutely, utterly brilliant. The cast are superb, and the writing is simply genius - it takes you from laugh-out-loud funny to lump-in-the-throat sad in the blink of an eye (which, BTW, I'm only blinking because I must've got something in it...)

 

It helps that I grew up in West Auckland - still consider it home, really. So every episode I'm going, "OMG, I know that dairy!" "OMG, I know that railway crossing!" "Holy CRAP, that's my calculus class!"

 

If you haven't seen it, I can't recommend it highly enough.

 

So what about you? What are you watching at the moment?

I know what you mean about boardwalk empire, still really enjoyed it. The wire season 2 is 100% the worst but if you push passed it then gets great again

Watching a variety of shows on Netflix on my ps4/tablet. If you haven't got Netflix I highly recommend it. If it wasn't for sky sport I'd drop sky altogether, it's that farkin good at a fraction of the cost. All in glorious hd lol.

All a waste of money.  All of this stuff is available free to watch online.

You wouldn't be referring to the very naughty act of piracy, would you Flamer? I've heard that a few terrible people do that.

 

MightyThor, do you find NetFlix offers all the series you want to watch? My understanding was that between Netflix, Neon, Lightbox, etc, each decent series had been snapped up by a different network.

Nope, if you are watching it online and not downloading I can't that it is piracy.

incorrect!

if you view it, you are still "downloading" it, just not saving it permanently. it gets downloaded temporarily and wiped as you watch it.

 

who cares though piracy is mean
