alpine_saint Posted 4 September, 2013 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 ?
CB Saint Posted 4 September, 2013 Posted 4 September, 2013 Series one is good - some of the characters start becoming a little ridiculous series 2 onwards
Bearsy Posted 4 September, 2013 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 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.
miserableoldgit Posted 4 September, 2013 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. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
Colinjb Posted 4 September, 2013 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.

hypochondriac Posted 4 September, 2013 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. Edited 4 September, 2013 by hypochondriac
norwaysaint Posted 4 September, 2013 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.

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. No it wasn't. 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 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.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 4 September, 2013 Posted 4 September, 2013 I am torn with whom to believe. Obviously I love Norway but hypo has never been wrong before. Grrrrr it's a tough one.
Bearsy Posted 4 September, 2013 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.

View From The Top Posted 5 September, 2013 Posted 5 September, 2013 I've just downloaded season 1 so will watch it over the weekend. Better be good.
Bearsy Posted 5 September, 2013 Posted 5 September, 2013 U What ??? i believe the technical term is "whore's bath"
Tokyo-Saint Posted 5 September, 2013 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).
Bearsy Posted 5 September, 2013 Posted 5 September, 2013 i googles mexican shower and it said "To strip naked in a public washroom and proceed to wash yourself with toilet water, using a urinal mint as soap" lol
Whitey Grandad Posted 5 September, 2013 Posted 5 September, 2013 i googles mexican shower and it said "To strip naked in a public washroom and proceed to wash yourself with toilet water, using a urinal mint as soap" lol Do you mind! I'm having my dinner. This might ruin my pudding.
Bearsy Posted 5 September, 2013 Posted 5 September, 2013 why is you having mexican? Or urinal mint for that matter!
alpine_saint Posted 6 September, 2013 Author Posted 6 September, 2013 be alone when her vag gets ruined in the car. wtf ??
View From The Top Posted 6 September, 2013 Posted 6 September, 2013 Watched series 1 episode 1. Intriguing.
dubai_phil Posted 26 September, 2013 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. Ah bless
Bearsy Posted 26 September, 2013 Posted 26 September, 2013 I'll be twerking in with some details on how Brody got shot while dry humping his camp bed. disturbing mental image yo! Or is twerking also verb for sending twitters?
dubai_phil Posted 26 September, 2013 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
alpine_saint Posted 27 September, 2013 Author 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 ?
