Also, this is going to sound weird, but one of the big things that bugged me about the change from the first season to the second is the lighting of the show. During the first season it was shot in a very realistic way. It felt like you were watching scenes in a real bar, in real apartments, etc. But after season one they started lighting the sets in a much more traditional sitcom way. It seems very stagey as a result and I feel like this detracts from the grittiness that was a part of the show's early humor. |

Since Frankie Boyle left 'Mock the Week' and 'The Inbetweeners' finished, 'Outnumbered' and 'Shameless' are probably the only thing on UK tv worth making an effort to watch - cant be arsed with crap like xfactor, dancing celebs, Dr Who and endless vampire/werewolf nonsense.

We are into part six of an epic 16 part series tracing the roots and evolution of cinema from the very beginning. Mark Cousins (writer, director) is somewhat of an acquired taste for me having taken over BBC 2's superb 1990's era Videodrome series from Alex Cox and lacking the charisma of the previous host and also having one of the most annoying and uninspired voices I have ever heard. However, this guy is Scorsese and Tarantino added together X 100 regarding his film knowledge and evaluation and this series has thrown up so many movies I have never even heard of let alone seen but immediately made me want to find. Anyone who loves their movies should seriously try getting hold of this series any way they can. The Story of Film: An Odyssey - Channel 4

Homeland is looking really good and I also just got into Strikeback as well.
I only recently found out that it was another series that US decided to make their own version for Cinemax. Maybe after this season is over I will go and check out the original series.
