    I've tried watching 3 seasons of this show, and I don't find it funny at all. One of my friends wouldn't shut up about it so I finally checked it out. I usually laugh at everything, but this show is just dumb.

    Disagree. You were probably expecting a Will Ferrell comedy type of movie which is not. This shows a more serious side of him dealing with alcoholism. I think it was brilliant.

    I'll have to give that a run next time I've got some freetime and finish up the G1 Transformers series.

    It wasa good performance for him, would not say brilliant. The movie is worth watching, even if it is a little slow and the ending sucks.

    Can we mention gems on Hulu? If so, I would strongly recommend the show Misfits. The first two seasons are great, but the third is just so-so.

    I'm pretty sure you can watch the entire series without a subscription.

    "Misfits is indeed silly — sillier, even, than it sounds — but it's also brilliant: sharp, funny, dark and, in places, quite chilling. Both the writing and the performances ensure that everything but the preposterous central premise remains entirely believable." - The Guardian

    Watched every episode and both movies and I have seen them live in Houston.. It just has to be your sort of humor I suppose.

    Have you ever seen the show Continuum? If you like scifi, check it out. It's an awesome show.

    Anyone watch Peaky Blinders? It's a Netflix original series 2 seasons in starring Cillian Murphy. Not a bad show at all.

    I just rifled through season one of Helix. I can't believe SyFy made this series. It's definitely watchable material in the virus contagion drama category. And, a new season is renewed and on the way. This series has some interesting ideas and has several big names behind the making of it...like Ronald Moore. I found the show refreshing, well-paced, good acting, and well produced. Plus, you get some easy-on-the-eyes Jeri Ryan in an aggressive role and a few other babes playing hot scientists. I like this cast.

    I just finished season one a few minutes ago. A couple friends from across the pond kept ranting and raving about how great the show is. I suppose for them, its nice to have a show based in Britain instead of America.

    Its a pretty solid series. The story moves quick and steady and not full of fluff. Cillian Murphy does an excellent job.

    Was about to post about Peaky Blinders. It's a really phenomenal show, cinematography and the sound track are great. And Cillian Murphy does an incredible job. Highly recommend it.
