Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I still drink twice a week. Half a fifth of whiskey, normally for when I play due to my nerves. Have my medical card, and I’ve switched to sugar free about 3 months ago. Sugar was harder to quit than heroin. I guess believing in yourself can make one do things they never thought before. 2 and a half years no opiates and a year and a half no speed!

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Saw two first eps;
Shrinking with Jason Segal; really horrible. Bad comedic timing, awful lighting , super obvious and cheesy moments. The only good stuff comes from Harrison Ford, and he is very underused.
Poker Face; looks awesome and has a great vibe. I’m kinda sad that Lyonne is starring here. I don’t quite get her character and seems Johnson is making another Benoit Blanc.
On the fence with the latter; but I’ll saw two more at least.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I've only seen a few trailers of Poker Face, but nothing really jumped out at me at all. What's the hook?
And they say that a hero could save us

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
at least in the first ep is kinda of a intrigue show on a casino in Las Vegas, and the main character has some kind of power that allows her to tell if people is lying or not.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:I've only seen a few trailers of Poker Face, but nothing really jumped out at me at all.

Slow Horses was great.Malloy wrote:id like to watch it. really want to watch slow horses. for some reason, i watched a little of the last of us, which is awful.
I think I’m probably done with Poker Face after 1 episode, I downloaded the next 3, but at no time over the past 3 days have I said to myself, “Wow, I really want to watch the next episode!”

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Watched the first Cunk on Earth. Very funny.
I was expecting it to be another self-loathing British show or one of those shitty Daily Show ripoffs that form so many RMer personalities, but it seems like it was concerned with actually being funny instead of preachy. Good job.
