Paranoid Android Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Going to start watching Mad Men I think to complete the AMC trifecta. Is it good?It's absolutely brilliant. However when you first start it you may be left thinking very little is happening. It's really all about character rather a whole load of action. It hooked me quite quickly though. It's probably second only to The Wire in terms of drama series for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfer_Rosa Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I just did the whole start-watching-Community-and-get-caught-up-in-a-very-short-period-of-time thing. Last night's was pretty good.And Dubya and Jakebassist are wrong about Britta. She's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 And Dubya and Jakebassist are wrong about Britta. She's great.she's my least favourite out of the group and surrounding characters. Admittedly, on watching the first two seasons again recently she is a lot cuter in those, but as the program goes on my disliking for her grows.

Soda Jerk Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I don't care for Britta much either. Annie is kind of annoying too, but I would rather look at Annie than Britta.Episodes need more Dean. Always more Dean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 That's the only thing that could have made the timeline episode better, some Dean or Chang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 chang's shit now. No surprise the last two episodes have been much better since he's not been in them (bar a minor scene in the new one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Really? The one where he burns the place down is fantastic. And the thing with him and Britta made a Britta storyline watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Senor Chang and Student Chang were good characters. Detective Chang is not. Needs more Chang puns for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hated that episode and really didn't like his story line at all. If they use Chang sparingly he could still be good but I don't want loads of him in every episode. I liked the season 1 chang much more than the character he is now.

Paranoid Android Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Season 2 chang was good too but there was signs of the decline that has hit him this season (so far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I really enjoyed the one where he was trying to uncover a conspiracy. I thought it was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I really enjoyed the one where he was trying to uncover a conspiracy. I thought it was brilliant.Aw hell no. You're definitely a Family Guy fan... that wore thin as fuck. I reckon his character's declined, although he's still real good for the visual funnies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Chang does need to be used sparingly.Towards the end of season 2 I started to grow tired of him, sort of zoned out in the last episode with his conspiracy crap, less is definately more.

Old Gold Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 For the record, Parks and Recreation is the best thing I've ever seen since Futurama the first time round.I fear that my prolonged exposure to such quality even weakened Community's impact on me.

Woodsinho Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 The thing, for me, about Parks and Rec is that I really like every single character so whatever combination they throw at me I'm happy. Not a weak link in the entire cast as far as I'm concerned.As for Community I heart Britta and also Chang and also Chang's private detective storyline. I laughed an awful lot at that and I'm not particularly interested in Family Guy so ner-ner ne-ner-ner.I started watching The League last week and that appears to be quite funny too. It's about a bunch of guys who play in a fantasy football league and it's a lot better than that premise sounds because it doesn't focus too much on the fantasy football. For those who've watched P&R it features radio host 'The Douche' and the Kaboom! guy in prominent roles and they're both great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I hate people discussing sports, this is way funnier than the premise made me think it would be. Paul Scheer is ace as usual. The episodes with Rafi are the best so far (I'm about halfway through season 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
