Interesting ending. His kids must be ****ing well relieved it's over. Also great to see an Everything But The Girl song in there! A good end to a great series, just wish they'd end Game Of Thrones in the same way. But without the writing and scripts and filming. What's the word I'm looking for? ................Oh yeah. Cancel it.
I stopped watching HIMYM because I thought it jumped the shark, I haven't watched the current series, is it any good?
Im stuck watching the new episodes on e4 on a Thursday night, absolutely love the show! Its legen ..... I've haven't a clue how it will end so probably won't check this page again incase there's any spoilers!
Really disappointing ending. I know they filmed the ending after series 2 but they wrote themselves into a corner that was miles away from that. They shoulda changed it IMO.
If your a 14 year old Lord of the Rings fan I imagine its pretty good, other than that its just tedious.
Most of these American drama/action/thiller series are dire, I suppose Dexter was good for the first few seasons, but even that went to ****. They all follow the same formula of dragging out a simple story over long episodes with moment of suspense at the end to get people to watch the next episode. There is very little good TV about, British sitcoms are the best but quality ones are few and far between.
Game of thrones is excellent. Very well executed. You do know it's a book series, and as such, follows the books? It's not like there's much scope for the tv series writers to purposefully drag a simple story out over a long time, it's a huge and very, very complex story which would never fit in film format. Indeed the tv show actually cuts out and skips some parts of the book. So not really sure what you're getting at there. Edit: I also believe, and I'm not certain, that most of the team making the tv series are British/European and it's just funded by an American tv channel.
House of Cards and Breaking Bad are the best tv shows I have ever watched, both american and both follow this supposed formula
They have apparently had this ending in mind from the beginning. The kids had to film all their scenes to make it look like they didn't age so they have known the ending for 9 years
Love thy neighbour In sickness and in health Porridge Steptoe and son The young ones All class TV series.
Each to their own, its just my opinion, I've heard the books are very good but the whole fantasy genre isn't really my thing. I'll probably give the books a go when I have time.
I'm one of the few that thought Breaking Bad was massively overrated, it wasn't bad but I couldn't understand why it got such a big following. I've heard House of Cards is good, is that the one that was made specifically for Netflix? Will probably give that a try soon.
Can't make an informed comment on three of those as they're largely before my time, but from what I've seen they only appeal to that generation. I loved The Young Ones at the time, but when I see it now I realise it was mainly terrible, with the odd good moment. Porridge was close to perfection. I see very little of merit in HIMYM at all - clunky acting and script and very few funny moments. Like someone said, it was a blatant rip-off of Friends, which was a very well made show (if a little 'safe' at times).
'A poor man's Friends'. Ooo, that's probably the worst insult I could think to describe a comedy, a bit like describing someone as a slighter more extreme Genghis Khan. Every single episode of Friends was exactly the f**king same.
