Blackadder is one of my all time favorites, especially the 4th ww1 period season. Once you're done with the series (and assuming you'll like it :D) make sure to see "Blackadder Back & Forth", a 1999 follow up tv movie.

Sat down with a cup of tea and my Tele last night, lights dimmed, and started watching the second half of season 7 in Mad Men. **** I missed this show. So good.

Love Mad Men. Since I was born in 1960 a lot of it really resonates with me as far as the home life/family stuff goes.

It does remind me of some Hong Kong movies, but not so much John Woo as something like Johnnie To's Election movies. Some of the mood and camerawork is also reminiscent of South Korean movies like Oldboy or The Man from Nowhere. And the fight choreography has that stripped down flying-elbow-to-the-face style of The Raid: Redemption and Ong-bak.

I just finished watching the first season a few minutes ago, by the way, and I'd definitely say it keeps up the quality all the way through.

I can definitely see the Oldboy / The Raid comparisons, the fight scenes in Daredevil were so entertaining, especially the longer takes.

I don't think anybody hasn't loved this show on this site. I'm gonna have to go finish my Frank Miller Daredevil issues pretty soon.

Broad City is pretty funny.

Almost embarrassed to say it but I'm a Downton Abbey fan.

My sister and I have been closer since our parents died. She visted us and clearly wanted to discuss Downton Abbey. I said that I don't like soaps and wouldn't be seen dead watching something like that. She bought us the Seasons 1 -4 Box Set for Christmas. As Season 5 was due to start (in September)we decided to start watching it at the end of July. We watched the entire 4 seasons before September (36 episodes). We watched the first season in two days (9 episodes - never done that before)

IT'S FANTASTIC!!!!!!

The writing, the sceenplay, the characterization, Absolutely awesome Acting and the sheer spectacle.

I have to say that it's spoilt all other drama for me, it's amateurish by comparison.

For those who disagree I give you 140 million viewers worldwide per week.

Go on the IMDB website and look at the awards its won (view page by page)

It really grew on me too. Sometimes it's a bit gross, but that's just their style I guess.

In light of Letterman's final show, here's something interesting that ties in with the music of Bob Dylan and the punk world. It's actually a really good read.
