Dr Gloom 21868 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 6 or 7 episodes into the good wife. My good wife is loving it, I'm still a bit meh tbh. Is it always this formulaic? I hear its worth staying with as the later seasons are all really good. I hope so because every episode has such rigidly to the same formula so far. She sees the good in someone in every new case through a human story (always one new case per episode) then is successful in court. Every fucking time. And that fucking 90s elevator music man. Terrible production values. Just feels so dated. And yet I'm still watching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10814 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Watching Sons of Anarchy. It's all right so far, I'm 4 episodes in, is it worth sticking with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21868 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I wouldn't say its awful but I doubt I'd still be watching it of she wasn't into it, no. Of course she wears the trousers. As Johnny Drama says: pussies are more powerful than penises. Show me a husband that isn't under the thumb and I'll show you a lier. And to be fair to her she sits through all the sport I watch despite not being interested. A line is drawn on both sides though. I won't sit through rom coms, glee, X factor etc. She draws the line at darts and snooker. Luckily we have two living rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inochi 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Four episodes into The Returned. Absolutely gripping, fantastic television. Already gutted that there's only one series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me a husband that isn't under the thumb and I'll show you a lier. We basically agree that when we're both there we'll only watch what we both want to watch....which means less foreign fiilms and documentaries for me and a Tivo 60% full of Bones, The Good Wife, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, Dexter, Elementary, Cold Case, Grey's Anatomy, Scandal or any of the other serial drama shite CT is bound to love that I refuse to watch. On occasion I'll allow Hollyoaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4711 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I know it got a few bad reviews on here, but I'm really enjoying Mad Dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44557 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You could basically replace Mad Dogs with any show in that sentence, and it would hold true for you. You could get some use out of it on the football forum with certain players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13842 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I had an old dear in the taxi telling me this on Saturday. Apparently Newcastle was one of the first establishments to honour him. She also mentioned seeing Al Jolson live in Newcastle. Slightly different ends of the Civil rights spectrum there.

Gemmill 44557 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah they are, I think. I need to watch the last episode of the first season, started watching it agrees ago, but haven't got on to the last episode yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inochi 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Mint. Just done some very careful googling, and seen that it's probably due this year. I imagine that it's going to end with questions aplenty unanswered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1224 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It would have been a nightmare if they hadn't gone on for a second series since there's so many unanswered questions from the first one. I just hope they actually have an ending in mind and aren't just going to drag it out like (I understand) they did with Lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
