That feels like a Doctor Who plot idea.

That's definitely true and a really good point. If anything, the other characters spend *most* of their interactions with M-Chuck making jokes about, well, sex, so it seems less off-putting. Totally agree with you.

This is 100% correct. This is the rare show that understands the *undercurrents* and desires inherent in relationships (see: Reggie in the country club vs his wife there, Reggie when he interacts with friends from home vs executives) when they relate to class and race. That sort of nuance is rare and that's the type…

This is probably my favourite comedy on TV right now. It's so, so smart - that's the primary appeal here: it's the rare comedy that actually some interesting things to say about whatever the "topic" of that week's episode is, and will say it in a clever, mocking, and intelligent manner. It's not so much "ha-ha" funny…

I've only seen the first two eps (they air too late for me, so I watched them On Demand the next
day), but it was pretty fantastic. Really looking forward to finishing it up today (or, if I can't, tomorrow).

Yes, that's the point of the "something something" part of my statement :p

6/Evelyn is such an awesome pairing. I love them so much.

"- " ipads, we've got Steve Jobs." The guy introducing Danny to the afterlife is my new favorite character. Hell of a job"

"Plus, apparently, every intact corpse on the planet is gonna turn into a Cyberman. That's pretty large-scale."

"I’ll admit I thought for a second that she might be Romana, what with her being left behind in E-Space and all." something something president of the time lords

The one whose name I keep forgetting is Cynthia. Can never remember her first name - never really had much of a problem with the others.

That makes two of us!

The funny thing is that you're posting this on a WoT written by Alastair, who is pretty much must-read for me (even I don't care about whichever show he is reviewing), because he is awesome. So, uh, to answer your question, maybe?

I don't know - I've had both experiences as well, and there's something to be said for an expert just absolutely nailing everything.

I was just thinking the same - it's very entrenched in the minutiae of the British legal system (and, specifically, how it is structured).. I was pretty ambivalent towards Silk, personally, though.

Hmm, I might just feel differently on the last bit. My roommate and I tend to watch movies/tv/whatever together and discuss them almost immediately after (and then again and again), because we both enjoy puzzling out our reactions to whatever fiction we have just encountered.

I would agree with all of this. It's incredibly funny, dark, and clever, and very, very nuanced (except, potentially, that problematic last sequence).

So I saw this at the Chicago International Film Festival and there's something for seeing a hilarious film in a crowd: initially, people were a bit awkward regarding laughing and then it grew and grew. It really depends on the movie for me (and for the experience - is there a Q&A? lots of smaller movie theaters do…
