I've learned to like it, and this is why


After Breaking Bad, it's tough to jump into Low Winter Sun because I just want to talk about Breaking Bad with the people I watch it with. So I'll end up watching LWS on the Free on Demand channel on my tv. The nice thing is I can skip all the scenes with the annoying white "gangsters" who all seem like morons. This way I can just watch the great acting of Mark Strong and the somewhat scenery chewing Lennie James. It's heightened the show a lot to me. I suggest everyone do the same if you can :P

You might have to go back and watch all the gangster stuff eventually. I think the stories are about to intertwine further.

"I always fast forward through 'this' persons scenes because......" Is the most stupid fvcking thing ever posted about the most stupid fvcking thing anyone could ever do when watching a film or tv show. These same idiots eventually go on to post "this doesn't make sense.....I don't understand why....". Really?!! Do these people read books a half chapter at a time, skipping three at a time? Oh, that's right, reading is impossible for those with the attention span of a gnat. I don't get it, did MTV, video games, YouTube and the internet screw up everyone's brain that severely?! Unbelievable.

This ass hole moment has been brought to you by logic and reason, developers of sound, rational human beings since the dawn of time. We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Nothing that they've done has influenced the main characters at all. I get it: They're making a club, they're scared of the Greek guy, black people stole from them. They're storyline so far really isn't so difficult to follow if you have a brain. Sorry if you think characters that are so one dimensional are so integral to the plot. Obviously you're so stupid, you forgot that TV is a visual media, so I can actually watch what's happening without being said, unlike a book. You ever heard of silent films? No? Oh, you probably wouldn't be able to follow them because they move and act, rather than give boring half ass performances. They're connected with the cop that was killed. The two cops have gone into the bar and the black one knows they were in league with each other. Watching them was bringing the show down for me. If fast forwarding improves it and I'm still able to follow what's going on, I don't understand why that's so ludicrous. The show itself isn't that difficult. I remember a scene I fast forwarded where the ex-marine was gypped out of some money. It wasn't so integral to the plot and I'd rather see actors that can act rather than some actors that obviously went to some crappy acting school. So narf, to be so offended with my comment about a pretty mediocre show, are you related to anyone who works on it? Because really, the show is maybe a 5/10 at best, and yet you treat it like "The Wire," or "Breaking Bad," shows I do actually watch all the way through because they're very good.

If at any point I DO say, "I don't understand this" than you can jump down my throat, but get a grip, it's just a tv show...
