On the topic of a more interesting TV show. I've watched the pilot for Showtime's new show The Affair today. Featuring Ruth Wilson speaking with an American accent (sorry Linette), Dominic West and Josua Jackson (plus a bunch more). Shows good promise judging the pilot. At least strong acting and mostly nice directing. The story seems interesting too though I'll have to see a couple of more eps to see if it won't get repetive. The pilot I'd recommend at least.
first series meanders in places, and some of the Brum accents are HILARIOUS but it looks fucking gorgeous, has a cracking soundtrack and Murphy is thoroughly engaging. It's not the most complex show ever but makes up for it in sheer production quality. And some of the fight scenes are trouser tightening-ly good.
Second series has kicked off with a fucking bang too. Hardy has been twiffic

Actually a Dutch TV show recently started that caught my attention, Hollands Hoop. I'm yet to watch it but critics have been speaking very positive about it. Which is kind of rare for Dutch drama shows. It's a Breaking Bad kind of show but revolving about a weed drugs empire.

I posted that and then I thought I should go back and edit it.
Just thinking about some of the scenes, goddamn.
S3 spoilers
Gyp getting the erotic asphyxiation when they try and kill him, and he's stomping through the hotel naked with that bird's eye view
and S4
the fight between Eli and Knox, the episode where they have Eddie, the bit where Rothstein's talking to the guy at the poker table and he gets all angry...
Fuck BB. BE GOAT
Did you ever get round to watching Deadwood? I know Hitch did, cannae remember if you did.
edit: also, True detective was mostly great even if the ending was disappointing, and Fargo was fucking brilliant

Gotham had a great premise but they went ahead and fucked it up by having Batman villains as children. What a load of shit. There was so much potential in telling Jim Gordon's early days and it could have been awesome. Heck, the best Batman story ever (Year One) is arguably more about Gordon than it is about Bruce.
I watched the first season. Didn't get around to the second. Will go back and rewatch at some point. Enjoyed it but didn't fully get into it like the other shows.

I know little about the show, but how bad could it be? Do they have Catwoman or Joker run around as kids, spilling stupid lines that vaguely hint at their future?

Is the first episode of The Flash as cliche-ridden, standard CW and might have enjoyed it when I was 15 as the first 15 minutes of so led me to believe?
Look at this gif bro. Violence, titties (well, covered titties in the background), glorious choreography and cinematography and character development all in 3 seconds.
