Aw that kinda sucks

Watching 'Bad Samaritans' at the moment. Was recommended to me by Netflix cos I've been watching the fuck out of Always Sunny. Pretty good so far, on third episode or so. Same sense of humour but not quite as dark and the characters generally have redeeming qualities, but I like it. I don't think anything will ever touch Always Sunny for me, just because of Danny DeVito's absolutely fucking fantastic performance in it.

edit: I swear this Netflix sub is the best money I've ever spent. Lovefilm can get to fuck.
 
Aye haha, the pic of him in the yellow get up with the cat on one of the promo pics gets me every time. He's great. Couldn't get into it when my mate showed me it but gave it another chance and can't wait for the new seasons now. Same with Arrested Development.

Also I want to say that the Bad Samaritans characters don't have redeeming qualities, they're just slightly less morally bankrupt. Really liking this.

Usually like a few months after, after it has been re-run a few times on TV. Thats what happened with the first half of the series, came onto netflix about 3 months or so after?

Might as well just watch it online, 2 hours or so after it was aired the 5th series in the US it was HD all over the interwebz.
 
Got to get watching that. Ex is hugely into it and she's usually spot on with TV, even when I think 'nah that'll be shite' n put off watching it for ages and then have to go 'aye you were right'.

Just finished Bad Samaritans, gutted it was only one season though I couldn't see it stretching for more than two with its premise an all. Though did leave itself open for a second go which was nice.
 
On now on CH4:

Series 1 - Episode 1

Channel 4

A new Stephen Fry series. First episode just started, it's decent so far.

Imagine you’re passing a phone box and the phone rings. You answer it, to be told, “Your money’s in the bag on the floor – 30 grand as agreed”. Sure enough, in front of you is a bag stuffed with bundles of cash, there for the taking. How do you react? It’s one of many hidden-camera moral conundrums that Stephen Fry and the makers of this series pitch at random members of the British public. The reaction of two young women to the phone box cash is wonderful and the agonies two blokes go through are a joy to watch.

Not all the stunts work quite so well but it’s interesting seeing how long it takes people to intervene to stop a racist waiter (played by an actor) insulting customers (also actors). The idea is to show we Brits aren’t as morally depraved as we’re painted. It does nothing of the sort, but it does unearth the odd quiet hero.

About this programme
1/3. New series. Hidden-camera show that tests the nation's moral compass by playing out various dilemmas and psychological conundrums in public to see how people react. Diners from the North and South are challenged to stick up for a couple being victimised by a racist waiter, a bag full of money is left in a phone box to find out whether anyone will take it, and the residents of London, Manchester and Brighton are given the opportunity to steal a £500 bicycle. Narrated by Stephen Fry.

Also, Mark Steel is on Question Time tonight. And he's a bit of a stand up bloke in my eyes. Lovely guy.
