Right, as a lot of you know, i'm moving tomorow, and I don't htink the internet is gonna be sorted for a little while.. or at least, my router from Orange Broadband hasn't arrived (hopefully I can use my current one).
I wanna download some telly shows to watch. Is there any that you can recomend? So far I've got downloaded to watch (or already watched).

Throw out to me some telly shows that you really enjoyed/recomend. Ones I'm already getting are...

- Dexter,
- Game Of Throwns,
- American Horror Story
- Breaking Bad

I really enjoyed Terra Nova for a bit of no-thinking fun.

I watched House like mad up to the end of the season where it starts off in a mental home... looked forward to it and downloaded it straight away from the states.
But when he started sleeping with cutty, I found I started to get bored of it. But now it's been years since I've seen it, I'll pick it up again.

What's the mentalist like?
(I helped save b3ta! G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 21:20, archived)
It's like House/Derren Brown/Sherlock

Peep Show
The last series wasn't bad at all.

[Edit] Download as many series of The Sopranos as you can get hold of and watch them in order.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 21:25, archived)
Yeah' man, Sopranos looks worth a watch

(I helped save b3ta! G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 21:37, archived)
Sopranos is the nuts
Very well made, well acted. There are some weak story arcs but on the whole it's definitely worth watching.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 21:49, archived)
I got the first six seasons of Peep Show on box set and got through them in under two weeks.
Very watchable, especially as each one is only half an hour.
(I helped save b3ta! Noit happy baby orangutan, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 21:38, archived)
It'd be better without Robert Webb.

(I helped save b3ta! BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 21:54, archived)
I'm not so sure
Who would you replace him with? I think they work well together.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 21:55, archived)
I wouldn't replace him. I'd just remove him.
From the whole of existence, if I could.
(I helped save b3ta! BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 21:58, archived)
You would lose Superhans as well
And be left with half an hour of David Mitchell complaining in each episode.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 22:01, archived)
Frankly I would prefer that.
He's brilliant when he goes off on a massive rant, and Robert Webb is a proper fucking prick.
(I helped save b3ta! BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 22:03, archived)
Without Webb's character eating his food and generally fucking up his life
He would have nothing to complain about, so it would turn into half an hour of existential angst about living alone in a reasonably nice flat.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 22:08, archived)
I never really liked Peep Show in the first place, so I'd be fine with that.

(I helped save b3ta! BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 22:12, archived)
So what you're saying
Is that ideally gonzo should download a hypothetical show featuring David Mitchell moaning about living alone in a flat in London to tide him over while he's living alone in a flat in London?
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 22:20, archived)

Superhans is great.
I mean, he's not very good most of the time but every now and again they give him a fucking corker of a line that more than justifies his presence the rest of the time.

I think Superhans
Is basically what Jeremy would like to be, but instead he's a spoiled brat.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Tue 27 Dec 2011, 22:25, archived)
I thought that was the point?
The one where Super Hans lets Jeremy join another band with him but then abandons him was great. Especially seeing as Jeremy didn't get the message.

It's by Joss Whedon, the guy behind Buffy and Firefly.
The basic premise is that people can have their brains re-programmed and Eliza Dushku gets turned into the ultimate prostitute/wife/killer on a weekly basis. Similar things happen to other characters. It takes a few episodes to get into the swing of things and it was cancelled as they were finishing up the second series so it does end very rushed-ly but aside from that it's great. If you're torrenting it make sure your download has all thirteen episodes in each series- they only showed the first twelve in the US but the thirteenth episode ties everything together very very well.
