What TV are you watching?

This week's Grand Designs was great... the curvy wooden house in Cornwall. Any couple that says things like 'nothing looks better than a stack of logs' gets a thumbs up in my book

It's been a great series so far. The tree house in the first episode was incredible, though I'm not sure I'd fancy living next to a bloody huge supermarket, no matter how secluded.

Downloaded Hell on Wheels and been ploughing through it.
Set in the aftermath of the American Civil War and centred around the building of the transcontinental railway... made by AMC who were/are responsible for The Walking Dead
Vary watchable, not quite The Wire, but has its moments, pretty well written, acted and filmed. Would recommend.

The Fall S1&2
Compelling viewing even though it's not really anything new.

Been getting complaints from some about being Crime Porn!

I agree with her, TBH.

I agree with her, TBH.

I don't, and having read the interview I wonder if she's actually watched the show she's talking about.

(including the best on screen Punisher yet) I'M confident.

there's an effort, I think to locate them in a distinct culture to the other characters.. 1 1/2 épisodes so far for me.

Better than Thomas Jane, or is that who you're on about?
I'm not going to link it here, but you can find the clip on YouTube, for 'Dirty Laundry'
Made with Thomas Jane

Distinct culture?. Agent Carter is also a bit out of the loop, as regards the time (1940s)
And, of course, Hayley Atwell is gorgeous in it

Yes, although I've not seen the youtube video you kindly direct me to.

True, and as I've said in prior posts, I'm a fan.

Distinctly African-American is, what I think I'm groping towards there, although as someone who isn't, I'm wary of pronouncing on the authenticity or otherwise of that.

A bit brutal. but morally right??

Tomorrow evening, I'll be watching the Guy Martin programme 'Speed', it's the Triumph land speed record attempt
Then, there's the Chris Hoy @ Le Mans on tomorrow too!

Still Game, BBC1.

The victorious return of possibly Scotland's finest comedy series. Jack & Victor are back.
It's on the iPlayer now if you missed it.

The Fall has a lot to say about misogyny, but itself is one of thousands of tv shows that feature the murder of women, usually young and attractive.

This has been ongoing since the fifties.

Why does so much of television and film centre on the murder of women when there are so many other subjects they could use?

It is simply stating fact that people love watching it, the only question outstanding is why does it continue?

I think you've almost answered your own questions.

Anyone watch Westworld? I saw the 1st episode and it was promising if not a little confusing.
