Shows that have you by the balls, or vag...

[Mrs. Gooch]

watched the first three episodes of True Detective last night.

if breaking bad grabbed my balls, true detective is tickling my ankles.

its just not my speed. theres really good acting and stuff but like... snoozefest city, USA

Exactly!

Has anyone said Trailer Park Boys or IT Crowd yet?

Couple of my favorites. TPBs is probably my favorite show on Netflix. Took me awhile, but IT Crowd grew on me.

TPBs is the diamond in the rough.  Can't get much more lovable than Bubbles. I'm happy to see Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade from IT Criowd making it in to American cinema too.

What can you reveal about episode four, which is airing on Sunday?

Episode four is the beginning of Act Two. Suddenly, the rhythm of the entire show changes. The slow part is over now. The first three episodes move at a very deliberate, almost funereal cadence, like you’re marching toward something. And what you’re marching toward is that final image in episode three.

Of Reggie Ledoux in his underwear.

Right. Then in episodes four, five, and six, the rhythm is much more varied. They’re like children. I love them all for different reasons. But five for me is like the most special of the children. Then seven and eight are the third act—and the less said about that, the better.

I will say this: if someone likes True Detective after three episodes, I can guarantee we didn’t drop the ball. And if you don’t like it based on the first three episodes, you should stop now. Plenty of other stuff on TV.

oh man i can't wait.  i haven't been this pumped for a weekly series since i caught on to breaking bad

I mean those two statements seem a little contradictory to me. If it is going to move faster from now on then maybe I will like it better.

I got a lot deeper into Doctor Who (about halfway through Season 4).  I really dig it.

Anyone else into it?

Team 'blast.  I was pretty bummed to find out that there was no episode last sunday because of some silly football game.

you guys are all  omg boner it has matty mac and woody h in it... but you fail to realize that the show actually sucks. its not funny, it has no suspense, and its honestly done a pretty bad job at explaining the characters. oh well. ill just sign off until I can come back here and say told you so when this bad boy gets cancelled after the first season.

Yeah, a show with Matthew McStudmuffin and Woody Harrelson is gonna get cancelled after 1 year like it's some cbs sitcom.  Good one, Tonya.

But those two aren't going to be in season 2 anyway.

"likely"... "haven't renewed contracts"

the show sucks. its a snoozefest and those two are the only reason anyones watching. as soon as they leave (the first season is 8 episodes, btw) everyone will go flaccid and realize how much the writing actually sucks. t's and p's. at least you and emawmeister have newsroom, right?!?!

[EMAWmeister]

FWIW, the first episode or two of Breaking Bad were awful too

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

theyre not awful by any means and they grabbed just about anyone who watched by the balls/vag. but hey, if you want to compare a show which switches actors every 8 episodes after the first 3 episodes to one of the greatest television shows of all time go right ahead. im sure you wont look stupid at all, guy who tweets how amazing newsrooms season finale was. your HBOner is really something else...

Anyone who says they thought Breaking Bad was even close to what it became after the first season, let alone the first 3 episodes, is a goddamned liar.  Sure, the breaking up of the action in TD has made for a slow start, and there are a lot of story lines to digest.  But if the ending of episode 3 didn't at least peak your interest for the rest of the season, then go watch the Two Broke Girls or something, because big boy TV just isn't your thing.
