I haven’t talked about random TV shows in a while since the Olympics owned my life the last couple weeks. The last time I talked about anything, I was just starting to watch a British show called Peep Show.
Well, I finally got through all six seasons (each season is only six episodes) and I liked it a lot, although the point-of-view camera angles can make you a little motion sick if you decide to watch all 30 episodes in a week on your computer.
The first season was a little slow, but it really picked up steam in the middle and Seasons 3-4-5 were really good. I was not a huge fan of Season 6 compared to the prior seasons, but still decent. Basically the show follows the life of two roommates in their late 20s/early 30s as they fail miserably, most of the time, with women.
As for American TV, I have become a huge fan of the new show “How to Make it in America” on HBO. I think it has potential to be really good based on the first three episodes so far. Basically it is two guys who are trying to start their own denim company and they basically know nothing about the business and don’t have a lot of money. The usual root for the underdog aspect, but it works.
Moving to sports real quickly, but the US plays the Netherlands in soccer on Wednesday and they should be wearing one of their new World Cup kits, which are inspired by the design the 1950 team wore when they beat England. Hopefully the magic of the jersey works again this year.
