Completely caught up on Boardwalk Empire. Very good show. Highly recommend it.


I saw pieces of Game of Thrones as one of my roommates was watching it and wasn't awfully impressed. I might start on the Wire though.

Boardwalk Empire was as slow burn for me, but season 3 was amazing.

Haven't seen 3 yet on Boardwalk... waiting. I really liked the first two seasons.

@AoG: Game is one of those shows you've got to watch from the beginning and really pay attention to like. Some of the character portrayals can be off-putting, as well, but the others more than make up for it.

Yes it is. That's why I said it.
I saw him as Macbeth with the RSC one time. He was just a lovie. He was a lovie in I Claudius, a lovie in that thing about the monk, a lovie in everything I ever saw him do. he can't act, just lovie.

For the record his character wasn't one of my favorites in the series but as an actor I believe he did exactly what he was directed to do which I feel is one of the marks of a decent performer. As far as him being a "lovey", I've never seen any interviews, etc., of him so I wouldn't know about that.

A new bbc series- In the Flesh was pretty good. A slightly different take on zombie fiction.

Unless HBO mucks it up, season 3 of Game of Thrones should be quite enjoyable.
If you put in the effort to actually know what it is about. Otherwise it'll just be people cutting each other to bits, making snide remarks and occasionally bumming each other. Still quite enjoyable but I tire of explaining all the stuff to my roommates.

I was told to watch an episode of Girls. It was one extremely awkward sex scene followed by another with some pointless drama thrown in between. If that's your thing, then I guess I'd recommend it? Otherwise, I'd stay away.

Netflix is pretty funny with their Arrested Development stuff. Little things I've noticed like my five star rating for that shows up as 5 bananas instead. Also there are lots of shows listed on Netflix that are shows featured on Arrested Development http://splitsider.com/2012/12/netflix-i ... nd-movies/
