the jambo-rocker Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I haven't seen it yet, but it looks fucking epic. Its hard to imagine Jeff Daniels as the loose cannon anchor however, considering most people will still see him in a doggy outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 No. Havent seen it Idiot.

Studio 60 was fantastic - the episodes with John Goodman were outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It was acceptable, nowhere near WW quality but a step up from the excerable S60. There are some odd things going on, Sam Waterston is dreadful and the fianl twist when the lift doors close essentially make a mockery of the previous 70 minutes seemingly just to make the Jeff Daniels character likeable.

ballymoneyyin Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Probably some of the best TV I've seen for a very long time. Cant wait until next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'll definitely need to checking this out, the trailer where he is all silent then just snaps and tears into the girl who asks why America is the best country in the world is just hilarious.

drs Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 After the first 5 minutes of Episode 3, I'm out - Emily Mortimer cant act for toffee and Sorkin is once more allowing his politicol views to cloud his storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I quite enjoyed it tbh. Especially the first 5 minutes with his rant. I kind of feel like Sorkin is kind of venting is opinion of America right now through the protagonists and Anatagonists Will and Mackenzie. That at one time he was happy with the way things were in America, however as soon as the split up they become two different people. McAvoy's rant was probably his perfect way of summing it up and saying there is a problem. No.1 for the most adults that believe in fairies He's incredibly cynical, thinks his audience are stupid, believes that both the parties are fucked up in their own ways and that everything is about self-interest, a bit that I find a little hypocritical in his character. Mackenzie, the person that still sees the best in things and wants to believe that even though things in the country are fucked up that it can be repaired again. The whole way they went from the BP oil spill to McAvoy destroying the MMS was cracking for me to watch. What I will say that quote from the guy in charge was hilarious as it came from nowhere. 'I'm a marine son and I'll kick your ass! I don't care how many protein bars you eat!' Also, did anyone else notice how much the opening credits looked like the ones from The West Wing?...

DomDom Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'm enjoying it so far. Couldn't give a f**k about any message the creator is trying to send out to be honest. It's a fun hour to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Enjoyed the first episode enough to keep watching for now. Opening segment was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of War Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 ^^^^^^^^ touchy .... We get it you like to try and wind up other fans about football but do you have to be a tit on every part of the forum? Waste of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm enjoying it so far. Couldn't give a f**k about any message the creator is trying to send out to be honest. It's a fun hour to spend. My thoughts too. I liked it, the rant at the start was fantastic and it has potential. Couldn't care about any political message or thoughts that are being aimed at me.
