Defiance - looks nice, the backstory seems to work okay. The plots are horribly/hilariously predictable for each episode, I'm about ready to give up on it. It's like a big line of clichés and hack plots.

North America - new nature programme on Discovery

Stunning pictures spoilt by the voice-over - "only the toughest animals survive and that's because they show the spirit that made America great"
I did wonder in the sequence that showed a baby caribou being eaten by wolves if he would suggest that preying on the young and weak is an American trait as well or if only the caribou had been armed... :frown: ( yeh, the commentary was that bad )
Had me missing David Attenborough :(

Re: Tele
 

Off topic: I've mentioned this before, but I used to think that David Attenborough was my Dad (sort of). My dad died when I was little, and my grandparents had a photo of him on the TV, he looked like David Attenborough, so as DA aged, that's how I pictured my Dad would have aged too. And without much knowledge of my dad, I gave him David's qualities. Softly spoken, intelligent, impassioned basically an all round nice guy. It wasn't until my late 20's - early 30's that I found out my brother also though that DA was our father. A couple of years ago I wrote to DA to tell him this and he wrote me a lovely letter back, saying that while he had no idea that we'd given him this role, that he hoped he hadn't let us down in it.

Anyone catch Behind the Candelabra last night on HBO? I quite enjoyed it...good performances by Michael Douglas, Matt Damon and Rob Lowe. I was surprised it went straight to US TV but it is showing at cinemas in the UK from 7th June.

Edit: Here's the reason why.....Soderbergh said 'We went to everybody in town. They all said it was too gay. And this is after Brokeback Mountain, by the way, which is not as funny as this movie. I was stunned. It made no sense to any of us.'

Re: Tele
 

Oh no, they cancelled Smash. I loved that program.

Re: Tele
 

Yes, it was superb, Douglas was excellent.

Re: Tele
 

I want to see that. I heard a thing about it on the radio.

Re: Tele
 

Longmire, second series started off with a bit of a trippy episode.

Still quite good, with some lovely scenery.

It really is Morse for the West, with the middle of nowhere quiet town and the murder rate :D

Mrs N likes this show.

Also both enjoying Orphan Black... Took an episode or two, but it kinda snuck up on us. Hooked now.

Borgia European version on Netflix-Hokey Smokes! Rumpy Pumpy and torture of the graphic variety!

I rather fancy (being of a certain age) the American actor playing Rodrigo Borgia. He's just one of those manly men types (read non pretty boy)

Re: Tele
 

We're really liking it too....though that thing in episode 7 I think it was, that was a bit grim :o
