After a shaky first few episodes, homeland is well and truly back.

For shaky read fucking appalling.

 

Too reliant upon sketchy minded bints and a lassie wi bi-polar jumping on and off meds.

 

We'll see if tonights episode gets away fae that shite.

I got the box set of the first series last Christmas and still haven't got round to watching it yet!

 

Any good 

 

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

Series 1 is very good, series 2 isn't as good but very watchable.

 

Thus far series 3 is like a shite soap.

I hate soaps but I do like Damien Lewis so will probably give it a bash

The 1st series was adapted from an Israeli series. The subsequent series have been entirely Yank generated.

 

It shows, particularly the current one.

Couldn't have put it better myself

I'd agree re the first 3 episodes but I thought last night was decent.  Hopefully enough on brody's daughter though, that was absolutely pointless!

I'm actually watching the first series of Homeland, reached episode 7.  It's pretty good but so far but not a patch on some of the Scandinavian stuff that's been on BBC4 over the last few years IMHO.

[BigAl]

Anyone else watching "The Tunnel" ?

No but doubt it's as good as The Bridge which it was based on.

It's difficult to judge, having seen The Bridge and thoroughly enjoyed it, knowing what's happening next really diminishes as suspense.

 

I have to say I like The Tunnel and I like Stephen Dillane.

 

The 1st series of Homeland was excellent.

[Andrew]

Just finished watching The Bridge. Was really very good. Much better story than the Killing I think.

 

I wish there could have been a few extra episodes though. It felt that they easily could have pushed it out to 15 and 20 episodes and developed the characters and story more.

[Kowalski]

If there's a better MILF on TV than Susanna Reid then I'd be very surprised.

I concur. Amazing broad.

Sherlock took a bit of time to get going but thought it was excellent by the end.

Yeah I wasn't convinced by the start so will watch it on iPlayer.

Series 2 of The Bridge starts on BBC4 on 4th January. 

[tom_widdows]

Yon latest series of Rab C Nesbitt is even worse than the last one.

 

Really should have left it well alone. Was never 'west end' quality but the 'new characters' acting abilities are more wooden than Paul McCartney's leg fetish

Just re-watched the first 4 parts of Top Boy because I saw there are another 4 parts to it. Pretty good. Although I find it hard to believe they couldn't find some better actors.

[Kowalski]

The first two episodes of The Bridge were excellent.  The second episode of Sherlock was not.

[tom_widdows]

Dear fuck they've made a new series of 'Birds of a feather'
