TV

Argumental
2x03 (6/4/09 edition)

Red Dwarf
9x01 Back to Earth Part 1
Hurray, they're back! Looking rather swish and filmic in RED-shot HD (how appropriate that it's the first UK TV programme to do this) with some rather wonderful CGI (and some poor bits too, of course). Most importantly, was it funny?
Yes, in places. In reality it's about as good as could be expected, I think, and while some bits were a tad garbled -- and it felt like watching the first half-hour of a 90-minute feature film -- it was entertaining enough for me. I suspect (hope?) that the real goodies will be in the next two parts, showing tomorrow and Sunday.

The Wire
1x09 Game Day
Perhaps the best episode yet, as the police get one step closer to Avon Barksdale and Omar continues to be unflappably cool.
