Started watching this yesterday. Three episodes in I'll keep going.

Also enjoy Taboo but deciphering the dialog is sometimes a challenge.
It's like Jamaican stuff. If you don't get it then it ain't for you. ;)

Taboo is pretty great.
It's mainly the main character who I have a problem understanding he doesn't enunciate very well, still loved this though. Looking forward to season 2.
Yeah me too. I agree about Tom Hardy's voice at times. I hope we'll get a season 2 as he (Tom Hardy) lost a fair bit of money on it. It's had very mixed views from critics.
I haven't read any critics reviews. I don't know about over there but over here most people prefer their English period pieces to be like Downton Abbey, Remains of the Day, Sense and Sensibility etc. Taboo was none of these things and more. The portrayal of the king was delightful.
I can't stand Downton Abbey I like my period drama to have some attitude and grime to it.

Anyone watch Shameless? VH is watching it right now, so I have caught a few episodes. What a fucked up show.
The English version yes. I loved it a glorious mess.

I really want to see the English version. Hopefully it will be on Netflix one of these days.

It may be on Acorn—pretty cheap service, worth checking out.

I'm enjoying the hell out of the new season of Fargo. Don't know where the story is going to take me but it looks to be a fun ride.

The best part of the American one for me is that it's basically set in the trashiest parts of Chicago, and it rings fairly true.

Certainly has more humour than the first two seasons. Which isn't to say that the earlier seasons were just bleak, but so far season 3 has more of the black comedy of the movie.

Yeah I did that too for like 5 episodes.

I'm way behind on the new Archer and have only seen the first Saul.

Me too. I decided that it's something I'll have to blitz thru on a weekend. Week to week, I had too much trouble following what the fuck was going on and just gave up.

I'm a fan of postwar noir so I'm biased, but I'm really digging current Archer.

Oh yeah the first episode was great. It's just been a timing thing.

This season of Fargo is so great. in the first episode, they shot a bridge tournament in a rundown community center like it was a high stakes Vegas poker movie.

The series and the movie, I've mentioned before, have those little touches that bring me back to rural Saskatchewan. It's not nostalgia for me, but there is something about the awareness or observations that make me smile.
