The american one is good. The people on it are quite annoying, but when they do the pranks it is funny. The scene in the Chinese take away was probably my favourite so far. Or queue jumping
 
Gotham starts tonight in the US also this

"Scorpion" was inspired by the true story of Walter O’Brien (hacker name “Scorpion”), CEO of global think tank Scorpion Computer Services. A man with one of the world’s highest documented IQs (1 in 1.5B people), O’Brien became a real-life Professor X and recruited and trained other geniuses from around the world to work together to save lives and solve problems from casino security to Military Drone warfare

and this

Forever centers on Dr. Henry Morgan, New York City’s star medical examiner. But what no one knows is Henry studies the dead for a reason – he is immortal. His investigative work with Detective Jo Martinez and relationship with best friend Abe will peel back the layers of Henry’s colorful and long life

Yep, didnt realise there was an English versions. Its hilarious.

I always wondered whether theyre real or fake - I mean of course at some point the people will have to know whats going on - after the event perhaps.

Its hilarious -
 
Seen the first episode of Leftovers. Okay, but nothing there to keep me interested. Looks like just another run of the mill drama with a splash of mystery/sci fi to lure in the viewers.

Also watched Legends. Garbage writing and barely watchable. Every step of the plot is spoon fed to you. Characters and storyline is a ripoff of every other conspiracy show in recent years. Exceptionally good, but unstable, undercover operative starts digging into his past and goes on the run as secret organization tries to cover something up. Only good thing about it was Ali Larter in skimpy underwear.
 
For those that follow, network TV is back; "The Good Wife" was a blast, followed by MilF driven drama "The Mysteries of Laura" with Debra Messing and "Madam Secretary" with the gorgeous Tea Leoni, which I thought was ok. Just finished back-to-back episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" (which I know many people dislike). Watching the premiere of "Sleepy Hollow" shortly to be followed by Spader in "The Blacklist". I fu.cking love this time of year.
 
Gotham is batman without batman right?

there was an interesting foreign drama on ITV last night with a very pretty redhead singer but I didn't have a clue what was going on as they didn't put the subtitles on
 
Scorpion was pretty good, well apart from one of the most far fetched action sequences I've ever seen, it had me chuckling
 
I've gone full circle on House Of Cards. It's just far too predictable. Granted some characters get killed off in ways you wouldn't expect, but the main character just gets his way all the time and nobody seemingly is able to stop him or outsmart him when he's fairly transparent to be honest. He's already achieved everything he wanted by the end of season 2, where else is there to go? And to top it off, I actually want him to get his comeuppance, but I don't think it will ever happen.
 
Any credibility this series had has now been lost

HBO has just confirmed that both Farrell and Vince Vaughn will star in the series' second season.

The news comes via press release, and details both actors' roles. Farrell will play Ray Velcoro, a "compromised detective" caught between his bosses and the mob. Vaughn will play Frank Semyon, a career criminal about to lose his empire after the death of a business partner. Director Justin Lin, known for his work in the The Fast and The Furious franchise, is slated to direct the first two episode in the new run. There's still no word, however, on the new season's female lead.

The difference between British and American series - not milking it for every last drop. Ian Richardson got his comeuppance ;)

It will 100% and when it happens it will be sooo satisfying! I think it is clever the way they are building more and more hate for him. I hate him and his wife so much, far more than any other antiheroes... Can't see more than four seasons in it really though.

In the defence of the show, at the time of the first series Matthew McConaughey was still viewed as a joke actor. He hadn't done anything of credit in many years, and this coincided with a rebirth in form for him.

That said Vince Vaughan does my head in and I can't see him being much good in it. Farrell perhaps could do well, but I'll wait and see
 
Survivors Remorse

Through a combination of GHod-given talent and north Philly grit, Cam Calloway and Reggie Vaughn have achieved fame and fortune that neither could have imagined growing up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in Philadelphia. But success comes with its own challenges, and the cousins and confidantes wrestle with the rewards of money, stardom, love, and occasionally, the guilt of having "made it."

Watched the 1st two episodes and they were pretty decent

Nooo.
No No No
Lincoln Lawyer, Bernie, Mud and Killer Joe are all roles he had before TD which painted him as far far more than a joke one-note actor.

The show used him exceptionally, and I have belief that it can do the same for Vaughn.
