Bratking:And House of Cards isn't. Therefore showing no basis in comparing characters from both. |

bykebyke: and why not?? selina & frank are both incumbent presidents that attained mercurial power by default(no one voted them into office). both are not well liked by citizens, both are fighting to consolidate their potus position in an election year, both have staff that don't trust one another, both are corrupt, both are naive in foreign policies, both hate their spouses(selina is separated from hers), both are very selfish and egotistical, both looks down on everyone in private, both thinks highly of themselves etc...a lot of similarities mehn. so you can understand why comparing both cannot be avoided or ignored. as to why Veep's mood and approach differs from house of card's(they share similar theme, politics) here goes: Veep is a satire in the sense it doesn't take itself serious at all. the politics are real, the domestic and foreign policies getting treated in the show are completely feasible but the show makes fun of all the stuffiness by cleverly infusing highbrow humor amidst all the drama. someone can get shot and/or killed on veep but with a humorous spin. |

Bratking: Your comparison does not make sense and that is a FACT. I can't come on Nairaland and say Lebron James has nothing on Novak Djokovic or Tiger Woods has nothing on Lewis Hamilton. These names are well known in the Sporting World but do not partake in same Sport. Just like Frank Underwood and Selina Meyer are characters on TV,but do not play same roles. |

bykebyke: geez... you see wetin I mean? one track mind. Selina Myer currently plays the "role" of potus in Veep just like underwood plays the "same role" of potus in House of cards...no? your analogies don't make sense and here's why... first lemme start by saying veep and house of cards belong to television series specifically made for mature audience. because all television series can't belong in the same genre, veep is a political satire and a comedy whilst house of card is a political thriller and drama. their respective characters can thus be compared to each other, more so cos they share similar theme, which being "politics". theme is very important now let's address your flawed analogy. basketball and tennis are both physically demanding sports. they are both team sports as well as individual. they both have umpires, they both made use of round bouncy balls, they are both played in centre courts. their athletes both win individual as well as team accolades. their athletes share similar level of match fitness and agility etc. their respective athletes can thus be compared to each other just like when the speed of usian bolt was compared to bale's. just because athletes don't compete in the same sports don't mean they don't share similar level of fitness and agility. they are athletes first and athletes can be very versatile. the theme here is the athletes themselves. to press home my point, check this out: in a recent nike advert(it's on YouTube), kobi bryant(a basketball icon) went toe to toe with Lionel messi(a football icon)...both tried to usurp the other with their respective different brand of skills. now what does that tell you? nuff said. NB: golf is technically not a sport. |

Bratking:Number 1 appeals to me, its now first on my list. i'm not too sure i'll like penny dreadful. i'm not really into 'witches n vampires' à la salem, sleepy hollow etc. I expected better call saul to be higher (number one). i'm a breaking bad fan. The same with person of interest too. Veep and Wentworth seem worth a try. Thanks big time for your rating. Veeery insightful. What are your thoughts on Billions, wayward pines and mentalist? 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Bratking(m): 12:18am On Jun 24, 2016 |
Bobbybube: good choice. start with the leftovers. penny dreadful is not your typical vampire themed tv series. it's different. it's very twisted and creepy...give it a try, you may end up loving it. better call saul is perfect in it's no 3 position. it's got broader plot than it's predecessor and very compelling. maybe I should have switched poi with veep(it crossed my mind) all the same both are pretty decent. thanks |

Timothy3113:Thanks. I loved blacklist and homeland, so any series as deep will interest me.. I hope they're as good sha |

Bratking: thanks Bratking: you're a movie maniac! is there a series you're yet to watch? anyways, I normally download mine from o2tvseries, and unfortunately, those one you mentioned aren't there...you have another site? don't tell me torrent please |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Bratking(m): 12:28am On Jun 24, 2016 |
Bobbybube: billions is good, nothing spectacular.. it's axelrod vs rhoades show for 95% of the first season with rhoades wife acting as a sort of buffer between the 2. mentalist is dope...watch it. patrick jane will keep you entertained with his antics hmmm...I don't like wayward pines..couldn't make it past the 2nd episode. you may tho, I heard it's a case of an acquired taste |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Bratking(m): 12:33am On Jun 24, 2016 |
JigsawKillah:no worries JigsawKillah:oh believe me, there are scores of shows I haven't watched...like a lot! eya I use torrent o! but hey you can download from the net couple of android tv series apps called Megabox & showbox. |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by JigsawKillah(m): 12:39am On Jun 24, 2016 |
Bratking: I fûcking hate any app that isn't ucweb lol you seem to always have a word or two concerning any show at all. I bet you can say something about the newest super stpry Bratking: I do think Billions is spectacular though. or maybe I relate to it better |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Bobbybube(m): 12:41am On Jun 24, 2016 |
Bratking:Alright. I'll quietly check penny dreadful. I'd seen d first episode and all the Frankenstein n vampire stuff wasn't really my thing. i'll try it again. It seems you rate Wentworth very highly. oitnb was becoming a bit too girly and dull for me. if its dark and hardcore then I'll love it all the way. poi is in top three for me. since homeland and blacklist, I've been looking for something similar. |

JigsawKillah: JigsawKillah:yeah my brother can't get enough of it either! I don't know...it didn't really grab me, found it too pretentious. |
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Nobody: 12:54am On Jun 24, 2016 |
Bratking:You say they can be compared because they both carry the theme of Politics,after already calling one a Political Satire and another a Political Thriller. I don't think you know the difference. A political thriller is a thriller that is set against the backdrop of a political power struggle. They usually involve various extra-legal plots, designed to give political power to someone, while his opponents try to stop him. Political satire is a significant part of satire that specializes in gaining entertainment from politics. You basically keep making my points for me,making this easy. [s]now let's address your flawed analogy. basketball and tennis are both physically demanding sports. they are both team sports as well as individual. they both have umpires, they both made use of round bouncy balls, they are both played in centre courts. their athletes both win individual as well as team accolades. their athletes share similar level of match fitness and agility etc. their respective athletes can thus be compared to each other just like when the speed of usian bolt was compared to bale's. just because athletes don't compete in the same sports don't mean they don't share similar level of fitness and agility. they are athletes first and athletes can be very versatile. the theme here is the athletes themselves. to press home my point, check this out: in a recent nike advert(it's on YouTube), kobi bryant(a basketball icon) went toe to toe with Lionel messi(a football icon)...both tried to usurp the other with their respective different brand of skills. now what does that tell you? nuff said.[/s]This is a special kind of trash.

bykebyke: eleyi gidi gan...are they not both based on politics? do you even knew what theme means? bykebyke:chai! in both definitions "politics" recurred twice and somehow this fella failed to notice? . this one don pass one track mind o! I'm embarrassed for you..really! bykebyke: eya. the guy cannot even understand simple logic. why don't you read it over and over till you get it instead of striking it through?
