CB Saint Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 Series one is good - some of the characters start becoming a little ridiculous series 2 onwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 word! Series one is worth watching. Some bits you prob want to watch on own with kleenex+vaseline. Like the bit when claire danes is v.busy + important so she doesn't have time to take a proper shower and just wipes down her vag with face-cloth. Edit: Spoilers!

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 The gf loves it. I have a fair few mates that are mad for it. Haven't actually watched it myself. Heard good things though. Sorry, this probs isn't entirely helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserableoldgit Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 My missus bought me Series 1 on DVD for my birthday. Not sure what I think of it from the synopsis. Hit or hype ? Thought Series 1 was excellent. Trouble is that the Americans never know when to just tell a good story and stop.

Colinjb Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 Series 1 is outstanding. Series 2 gets a little more far fetched but still pretty good. Hoping that series 3 is ok, but the quality seemed to be taking a downturn as the show kept going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 (edited) Beginning of the third season looks promising. There is a short imagined sex scene on the stairs that Bearsy will enjoy.

norwaysaint Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 The first series was pretty good and kept you guessing with plenty of shock revelations and cliffhangers, the second series was so bad that I have no plans to watch the upcoming third series at all. I'd say it dropped from an 8 out of ten to a five out of ten. I especially got sick of Clare Danes constantly over acting with her eyes. I really don't think the show really had the potential for more than one series with those characters and they should've just left it there.

It wasn't as good clearly but no way was it a five out of ten. Decent acting IMO in comparison to many other shows and despite being worse was still more entertaining than the majority on TV even if you have to suspend your disbelief for a while.

norwaysaint Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 It's a matter of opinion, hypochondriac. I would give it a 5, you would rate it higher. There isn't a right or wrong answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsy Posted 4 September, 2013 Share Posted 4 September, 2013 I think criticising the second season cos being ridiculous is unfair - the first season was ridiculous! The show didn't go off the rails, it was never on the f*cking rails! My main objections is they reduced instances of boobs and increased instances of dumb kids being annoying.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 It is the sister of the 'mexican shower' but that generally also involves a can of Lynx Africa and at times 99p hair gel (depending on how classy your Mexican friend is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 Oooh I see Channel 4 just announced that you guys are gonna be seeing Season 3 starting from Sunday 6th October. That gives me a full 5 days to annoy the feck out of everyone (more than usual) by dropping Spoilers all over the place.... (We get up and running on Wednesday about 10 hours after the US) You'll be there all innocent in the Match Day thread reading an Alpine Rant as we go 2-0 down at home to Hull or somethings & I'll be twerking in with some details on how Brody got shot while dry humping his camp bed.

dubai_phil Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 disturbing mental image yo! Or is twerking also verb for sending twitters? It's actually what happened to Eric at the recent Florence & the Machine concert but that will prob be in the 50 Shades sequel. Meanwhile for those just starting the journey on Homeland. Carrie getting ruined while on Web Cams so all her workmates could watch....... Mentally, much better than the Car scene but you have to plough through most of S2 first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 27 September, 2013 Author Share Posted 27 September, 2013 What does "ruined" mean ? Its been used twice on this thread. Is it a particularly aggressive and nasty term to describe being sh*gged ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
