Worth a watch definitely. Some rage inducing moments on it. On this series they have a men's island and a women's. On the men's one, one lad left after one day because he wanted a margherita pizza and missed his girlfriend. On the woman's one, one of them left because she's a beautician and didn't want her nails to get ruined.

There's one bloke doing fuck all to help the group and giving himself pedicures on the beach It's just odd.

Did you ever have a look at Dual Survival at all?

Getting into Trailer Park Boys finally. Really interesting show, but it's not quite as funny as expected. I was surprised by the format too. I assumed it would be more of a sitcom as opposed to the pseudo-mockumentary gimmick.

Breaking Bad's cinematography is astounding, the storylines are solid, the concept of the series is fully unique and almost every episode leaves you with an aching to watch the next. It's a highly emotional, riveting series that will stay with me forever.
More like, so many people go on and on about it that it becomes annoying, and the show becomes annoying by association. Same reason I haven't watched The Wire yet. Because SOME PEOPLE here won't shut the **** up about it.

Can't wait till you dive in and become one of those people. And you will.

You really should watch The Wire.

There's less crazy action stunts and more long takes, spotty lighting, and lots of fights in warehouses.

I imagine that hallway fight in the second episode was inspired by the hallway scene in The Raid.

Black Adder (1983)

I'd been meaning to watch this for quite some time because I use to love Mr. Bean as a kid. While the two shows are nothing similar, I do love Rowan Atkinson.

I liked The Wire but I never thought it was on the level of my favorite prestige shows (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Sopranos). It has some nice moments but there is a hell of a lot of mediocrity too.
