TV SHOW THREAD

[fulleightyminutes]

Yeah Alien that looks amazing. Will check it out. Am halfway through the first series of Treme, the drama from the creator of the Wire, about life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. It's a little all over the place, doesn't have the same insistent crime story as the Wire, but the music is amazing.

Man I love The Wire….by far the best drama ever conceived.
It is so close to perfection that I think it may as well be called that.

I think you're right there. Hate to say it but David Mills hasn't really done anything as good since. The demands it made of you as a viewer to pick up threads of stories that may have been left long ago, and the satisfcation when you start to see all the pieces come together. Really inspiring. There's still abit of a Tv culture where there's pressure to resolve everything in the one hour, so, they say, people who haven't watched the series won't feel alienated but…a lot of people watch Tv series on DVD now (was how I watched the Wire). I also wrote a few of this new ABC one on tonight called Crownies (my eps are coming up in a few weeks), wish us luck...

I'm watching two series at the moment as i travel to and from the office.

"Game of Thrones " =Jury is still out

Update (if anyone cares)

Very entertaining, took me a little bit to get the hang of some of the names. I just finished Ep07 and what a cliffhanger.

Pilot of Alphas showed some promise, it was entertaining. I dont think any super hero show can replace Heroes, but its a cross between Heroes & CSI.

Show Summary:

Alphas follows a team of ordinary citizens whose brain anomalies imbue them with extraordinary mental and physical abilities. Taking the law into their own hands, the unlikely team, led by Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) investigates cases that suggest other Alpha activity to uncover what the CIA, FBI and Pentagon have not been able or willing to solve. These gifted individuals must balance their quirky personalities and disparate backgrounds with their not always visible powers as they work to solve crimes, stop the ticking time bomb and catch the enemy.

I can't sleep so I'm watching Season 2 of the War of the Worlds tv show. It's interesting how the aliens think differently. 2 of the aliens are fighting and a 3rd alien says "STOP THEM! THEY ARE WASTING NUTRIENTS!" :laughing:

A new series on FOX set in ancient times, the last episode I saw, a barbarian (with a drop dead gorgeous wife) and his army is on its way to attack a King in a nearby land. Has been good so far.
