What makes a great TV show
As I hang out with the stars I know a number of people who work in telivision. Most of them make crap.

What makes a good show of any genre?

Alt: What's good on TV at the moment, I watched Luther last night, excellent stuff.

Same things as make a good film
Tits, guns and a car chase.

A spelling mistake

Game of Thrones is AWESOME
I recommend this, it has fighting and dark humour and lots of boobs. Lots and lots of boobs.
(I helped save b3ta! TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:12, Reply)
Agreed.
The boobs are good.

Camelot on the other hand is a pile of shit.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:13, Reply)
Thirded,
although I'm not hating camelot, Eva Green is great in it.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:15, Reply)
Her breasts alone
were worth sitting through the first episode.
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:17, Reply)
I think I'll probably end up watching Camelot
just for Finnes

There's a touch of the Merlin from Excalibur about his character.

Casting Sean Bean was such a spoiler.

(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:13, Reply)
At least they played to his strengths
By casting him as a Northerner.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:15, Reply)
I saw him in Hamlet on the West End a few years back.
It was a pretty good adaptation but, silly me, I could have *sworn* Hamlet was supposed to be Danish.
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:16, Reply)
Yeah
He's got such a wide character range. Gondorian warrior, King of Ithica, rogue spy, rifleman... all in a Yorkshire accent, naturally.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:18, Reply)
What's he supposed to do, shout out "Hektor, do you want that with chilli sauce?"

A good plot
where you cannot see what is coming up. Formulaic TV is fucking tedious

House is good even though it's the most Formulaic I've ever seen.

Very much this.

(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:15, Reply)
I caught half an episode of Luther the other day, think I might have to download that.
I'm enjoying a few series at the moment with HIMYM, Chuck, Castle, Bones & Dr Who being my favourites.

Also, if it's a case of Good vs Evil, make the evil person seriously fucking evil, or it's just not worth it.

EDIT: Has anyone watched Boardwalk Empire? Is it really as good as they're claiming it to be?
(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:13, Reply)
Dr Who is awesome.
It isn't to everyone's taste, but then, what is?

Besides, I would die happy if I were to have a threesome with Karen Gillan and Alex Kingston.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:15, Reply)
No.
I watched the first 5 or 6. Just dull. It's not helped by 4 ad breaks that are 4 minutes long.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 11:22, Reply)
downloads = no ad breaks

It may just hold your attention then.
It's generally slow moving.

I probably won't watch it.
