Muni on TV: Lead Balloon

Lead Balloon BBC 2 So it was the end of the fourth series and what a way it ended, let me just say that I’ve become a fan of Jack Dee whilst watching this show, and my god he has not disappointed this series. I didn’t really know what to think about what was going to happen to this series as it still had the regular cast, and I didn’t really know where the story would go. I think it has been a successful series with a great story throughout, the Robbie Coltrane  episodes were really good considering the second episode was just between two people and was still entertaining. Overall I’d say this has as usual been a wonderful show to watch and a definite show to catch on the iplayer. 8/10 Right so I was hoping to review The Sopranos this week as well but as it has been a busy week, I’ve been rushing to finish the 6^th and final season, but not done yet. I’m sorry about this and will get it reviewed for next week. Spending so much time watching The Sopranos I haven’t really been able to watching anything else. However I would say I caught the last 15 minutes of Dirty Sexy Things on E4, and from what I saw I would definitely be tuning in next week as well as catching up on 4OD. There is a show called The Hour that starts on BBC2 around the 17^th of July will let you know about the date next week, from the advert the show looked very unique and interesting and definitely will be watching that. Also, Teen Wolf started this week on TV and I didn’t even realise this was being made. Silly me! Again from the advert the show looks like a mix of Smallville with a bit of Kyle XY and One Tree Hill, a pretty unique mix, will try to review next week. Finally from what I believe the final episode of The Kennedys will be on BBC2 next week, so will review tat in a couple of weeks too. Follow me on Twitter: @munikazi

Muni on TV: Another 4 shows I've been watching

TV REVIEW Angry Boys BBC3 This show by Australian writer actor Chris Lilly is a mockumentary comedy that attempts to show the lives of average Australians. If you every watched his other show summer heights high, then you will enjoy this. I actually did watch that show and found it entertaining and funny, however whilst I was watching this I actually started to get bored by its lack of originality and was not entertained. The characters are a very one-dimensional and honestly would not recommend it, my verdict give it a miss really not worth it. 5/10 Shameless US  More 4 I’ve been a fan of the original UK one and as always I’m very sceptical of remakes of any shows, however from looking at the adverts that have been running on TV I believe that this may just be a hit. William H Macy in the lead role looks like a perfect fit as Frank. The show looks like they’ve stayed close to the story and characters and believe that this show is going to be a hit. My verdict is that watch it alone and the advert and I hope it lives up to it. 7/10 The Kennedys BBC2 The Kennedys are quite possibly the most famous US presidential family in history, and now we get to see there lives unfold in this fictional show. With a star studded cast and excellent writing and directing, the show follows the rise of JFK and how he came in to power as well as the issues he faced whilst he was in office. My verdict is that this is definitely worth a watch, with a great ensemble of cast and a fantastic story I believe that this is worth a watch. 8/10 8 Out of 10 Cats Channel 4 I’ve always been a fan of this show and I’m glad it’s coming back, the same host Jimmy Carr and regular guest patterns. This alone is worth watching it and if you’re stuck indoors on a Friday night then give it a watch.  There’s not much I can say as the show sells itself, if you’re a fan of comedy then this is a show for you. My verdict is, watch it and love it. 7/10 Muni.
