Anyone watch Peaky Blinders? BBC show that Netflix picked up for the US. Only a few episodes in, but Cillian Murphy is really good in it.
I watched it; not bad at all. I also enjoyed Sam Neill playing the Ian Paisley role.

I enjoyed last nights episode, pretty much the whole series the group has seemed to have it together, last night they seemed broken. Maybe only for a short while, but they were definitely broken. I didn't care so much for them eating the dogs, that was weird. I can't remember the strangers name at the end of the episode, can anyone tell what direction they are headed next?

I didn't mind them eating the dogs. If anything, it showed their desperation on how close they were getting to starvation and dying of thirst.

As for the stranger Aaron, I'm sure he's a character from the comics. He's a scout for a group of people in a safe zone called Alexandria. They will get to live safely behind walls for a short while. Until they are introduced to... ~ominous music~ Negan and Lucille.

As much as I want them to get to that point, I don't see this situation ending like it does in the comics. They've deviated a lot at times and I can see them do that again. Glenn is too much of a fan favorite and with them taking Maggie's sister this season, I think they change it up.

I get that they are desperate and broken, but let's get going here. Sasha is annoying the shit out of me...always has. They even got Daryl breaking down too. Also...the barn was almost overrun by walkers, but the lightning and storm knocked trees onto them and they just went to sleep after? WTF was that?

Yeah. I didnt get that either. They even went outside and was surprised by it. Just didnt do a very good job with that.

Its all about that divine intervention my brother, the calm after the storm and shit. I honestly thought for a second the zombies at the door was a dream until they walked outside and saw the left overs from the torcano (tornado/hurricane).

Just seemed odd...they always double and triple check stuff, but decided it was fine to all go to sleep. I get that they were trying to show that they are "weathering" the storm, but it was weird.

Zombienado and kind of glad we didn't get to see them flying around as I have my doubts they could have shown it in anything but a cheesy syfy type of way

Despite being a good show overall, I wasn't looking forward to Gotham tonight after knowing what character they planned to introduce. But they picked the right unknown kid. He was great.

Yeah, I thought they did that very well. They are building this very well.

I am deep into season 3 of Game of Thrones...I think the thing I like most is that pretty much every character has parts where you think they suck, butt they redeem themselves later. Fascinating how this show basically has 3 or 4 storylines...all working towards each other.

It's one of the best shows on tv. The end of season 3 and through season 4 just keeps the show on a great track. You're at a good place.

Im just concerned with where the show will be headed in a few seasons. That's the problem when you take source material that isn't complete.

I watched the Odd Couple remake...man, Matthew Perry is bad. His acting has gotten worse as the years go on. Not sure why networks keep trying to put him out there.

The Americans is making a run at being the best show on TV right now. Game of Thrones is still it for me, and True Detective was better as a stand alone season/miniseries, but right now The Americans is pretty amazing.

At least Matt LeBlanc is pretty awesome doing a parody of himself on Showtime's Episodes.

Could he be any less successful?
