Well I thought orphan Black so-so.

Something I have enjoyed is the Young Montalbano, which airs on BBC4 at nine tonight. Subtitles don't put me off, I love the scenery and sound of their language. I think I might learn italian :)

First season of Orphan Black was awesome. Can't wait for season 2...

Anyone watching "Under The Dome"? Still can't make up my mind about it.

'By Any Means' tonight looks kind of interesting. A kind of 'Mission Impossible'/'Hustle' style of thing. Know next to nothing about it other than the trailer though..

First couple of episodes were fun. I just hope they don't spin it out too long. I did not know there was a second season already.

Only for the TV guide I wouldn't have known it even existed until today.

As it turns out, I'd rate it 'OK'. The 'heist' itself was rather predictable but it was generally well acted by a pretty high grade cast. Given Eva Green's prominent role in the trailer for next week's it seems they may be going for 'big name guest star' each week to try to cover over some of the shortcomings.

Overall nothing particularly spectacular, but hell it's either that or, well not much, frankly...

Edit : It might not be Eva Green. Sounds like her though.

I saw a documentary on parbuckling the Costa Concordia last night.
It was quite good to say they've only had a week to put it together.

Yes - have read the book and also Steven Kings notes on the series and why it is different from the book

Overall enjoying it oncv I got over the "But its not the same as the book" rant

BBC commissions Blue Planet follow up

Quote:
The BBC has announced more than 50 hours of natural history programming, including follow-ups to hugely popular Blue Planet and Planet Earth series.

Many shows will utilise new filming techniques, such as Countdown To The Rains, which will see 75 cameras along a stretch of Africa's Luangwa River.

While Sleepover At The Zoo will feature a team of experts staying up all night at Bristol Zoo.

They will be broadcast across BBC One, Two and Four over the next few years.

New series Oceans will continue where the award-winning programme Blue Planet left off in 2001.

It will look at some of the marine species that have been discovered over the past decade.

These include the bizarre-looking blanket octopus, the "alarmingly hairy" yeti crab and the velvet belly lanternshark which uses a light-sabre style glowing spine to defeat its enemies.

The Hunt will explore the competition between predators and their prey, including footage of polar bears filmed hunting bearded seals for the very first time.

Breaking Bad - it's good, it just moves too slowly for me personally.
