I watched the first Episode of Band of Brothers last night. Does Dexter Fletcher's (or Tommy from Snatch) accent get bearable at any point? |

I have just finished Season 2 of Dexter, love it. I think I'll just wait for the dvd of the third series though because I will be buying it anyway and I have lots of other things to watch in the mean time. Careful with spoilers! |

Watched Ep 8 of Series 2 of True Blood last night. It's becoming increasingly convoluted and surreal, but in a good way - like Lynch. Sookie is becoming more tiresome with each episode but it's allayed by the fact that it's more and more an ensemble piece. Still like it lots. |

I gave up halfway through episode 2 of Defying Gravity. They've taken space travel (SPACE TRAVEL, mind you, SPACE TRAVEL) and made it crushingly dull. What sort of twisted mind does it take to accomplish that? Was it written by jealous accountants who'd always wanted to be astronauts but were bitter about where they ended up? Generation Kill looked promising, so I will be watching that properly at a more reasonable hour. |

It might not click at first, but eventually the entire series becomes so retrospectively awesome in memory that you'll find yourself revisiting it now and again. And 'Carentan' is an awesome episode. I love BoB. It's great. And Lt. Spiers, when he starts showing up... wow. And the Bastonge episodes, erk! Yep, top show. |

An episode of True Blood I watched the other night had a full on orgy scene in the back garden of a house - women being spit roasted, lots of nudity, one shot of a woman sitting on a guys face, lots of doggie action amongst other positions. Sometimes TV shows can be a real chore... |

It's even more formulaic than House, without the saving grace of a dominating and memorable central character. I love Tim Roth, and he's doing his best with a role that asks him to say "Ah! Now THAT'S the truth!" fourteen times an episode, but he's fighting against the tide. Plus he walks like a baboon so it freaks me out every time you see him move. |
