Benedict Cumberbatch is also in a five part series called 'The Last Enemy' which is available on Hulu Plus. Not sure about Netflix.

On an other note, in the latest episode of 'Castle' I was surprised to hear Nathan Fillion's Character Rick Castle refer to another character as 'some Douche'! Network television is sure opening up a bit compared to even just a few years ago! I wonder if the script said 'some dude' and Fillion inadvertantly ad-libbed as he has been known to use the other term in some web-based media in the past.  :D

Thanks for the reminder. I remember seeing previews of the series of which you speak, but had forgotten it. Will check it out.

Not sure how BBC's Spooks/Mi-5 missed out on this guy. Seasons 9 and 10 would have been likely far more watchable.

Robert Carlyle is in 'Last Enemy' as well.

Game of Thrones is the only thing I'm watching.  Oh, and Have I Got News For You (a satirical panel show in the UK).

I watched the episode hosted by BRIAN BLESSED! a while back.  I was howling with laughter throughout most of it.

Hatfields and McCoys on the History Channel is pretty awesome.

Bison

Am I the only one who watched the Hatfields and McCoys?  Good grief gentlemen that was the best TV miniseries in a long, long time.

Gusington

What makes it so good?

You mean besides Kevin Costner?


It was just good.  I don't know its not like I'm a film critic or something!  I guess the myth of the Hatfields and McCoys is interesting to me and having it played out with excellent filming, acting and script was cool.  Just watch it Gus.  Its freaking good.

Gusington

Kevin 'Waterworld-Postman' Costner??

So wait it is an actual film and not a documentary?

Its a 3 part miniseries that aired on the History Channel last week.  It's like 9 or 10 hour long. 

Bison

And Kevin's performance was more of a Dances with Wolves.  He was really good in the role of Pa Hatfield.

Gusington

Dances With Wolves rocked. So did The Untouchables. So it's a miniseries like Lonesome Dove or somesuch? More drama, less niggling detail?
