<p>Yep, best comedy on TV at the moment. All characters are great (bar Gina for me, she's best used in small doses) and a couple of hotties.</p>

<p>Cheers for the assistance guys, but it looks like I've seen everything decent.
Might have to collect all the oldies like Cheers/Mash and rewatch them.</p> -

<p>Mate, TSF is a borderline obsession sometimes. It's like a support group confessional and fight club all in one, who'd not want that!!</p> -

<p>You would think, but there's more than enough 'content' to visit with the stellar work that you and Jegga do in updating us on all the nudity floating around out there.</p> -

<p>Anybody checked out the new HBO series <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/ballers-shows-us-how-boring-and-lethal-the-nfl-really-1713081531'>"Ballers"</a> yet?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(It's a new NFL comedy-drama series starring former Grey Lynn resident Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.)</p> -
<p>think it starts on Prime? very soon, heard them advertising it.</p>

<p>True Detective 2nd series began yesterday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A bit same samey with the characters and plot at first but with enough scope for variation as it moves forward I guess.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Characters are dysfunctional again which is one of the keys to the first series</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks good (after 1 ep)</p> -

<p>I think it looks good, but whereas I think Vaughn is putting in a pretty restrained performance Farrell seems to be running with all the cliches built into his character and hamming it up. Didn't stop my enjoyment of the first episode though, I liked how it slow built giving out little parts of the story until the final scene.</p>
<p>[spoiler] I did (incorrectly it seems) think that the redhead with Vaughn was going to be the ex wife and mother of the fat ginga kid though. [/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Crazy that they basically have 4 leads with McAdams and Kitsch in there as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hmmm, McAdams. :)</p> -

<p>Nepia - tried Moone Boy? The premise sounds naff and it has a bit of a slow start but very funny once it's into its stride.</p>

<p>Is that the one with Chris O'Dowd? I'm currently watching the IT Crowd so it might be overkill but I'll put it on the list for the future. Cheers.</p> -

<p>I've watched 3 episodes of Silicon Valley and struggled through those not really laughing and not connecting with any of the characters - I might give it another watch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is Episodes the one with Joey?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Never heard of Welcome to Sweden - is it subtitled? I wonder how comedy translates with subtitles. I will seek out some episodes. Edit: Just checked - it's in english and stars Amy Poehler's brother and is produced by her so I'll definitely give it a shot.</p> -
<p>Workaholics, it helps if you are drunk or stoned, but even not its hilarious.</p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is an accurate representation of what you are getting....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actually you need to be stoned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Episodes is great. But its a slow burn. Matt Leblanc really deserves an Emmy for that, but he's not getting one because think he's just playing himself. Which he probably is.</p> -

<p>Anyone else seen Deutschland 83 yet? So far two episodes have aired on Sundance TV in the US. Set in West Germany in 1983, it is about an East German officer assuming the identity of a West German and living/spying under cover. German language, English subtitles. Great sound track, and pretty good so far. Obvious comparisons to The Americans.</p>

Silicon Valley is one of those shows that leaves me underwhelmed every time I watch it, but for some reason I want to know what happens in the next episode. <br><br>
Welcome to Sweden is great but I'd imagine alot of the humour would go over the heads of those who haven't lived in Sweden or Scandinavia.
