I’ve seen more titles this year than in any other since official records began in 2003. I’d like to think the year’s expanded viewing-slash-research goes some way toward explaining why posts on this blog have tended towards commentary rather than craft.<\/p>\n

Features<\/u><\/p>\n

Drive
\nTropa De Elite<\/i> (Elite Squad) and Tropa De Elite – O Inimigo Agora E Outro<\/i> (Elite Squad – The Enemy Within)
\nTinker Tailor Soldier Spy
\nThe Avengers
\nSafe
\nNever Let Me Go
\nArmadillo
\nThe Angel’s Share
\nDredd
\nThis Must Be the Place<\/a>
\nLa Jetee
\nEnd of Watch<\/i><\/p>\n

Yes, that’s more than ten for the year but those 2011-and-earlier titles were just so damned good that I had to<\/i> name-drop them.<\/p>\n

Television<\/u><\/p>\n

Panama-hat-tips to The Good Wife<\/i>, Mad Men<\/i>, Justified<\/i>, Nurse Jackie<\/i> and Breaking Bad<\/i> for continuing to be must-see telly three or more seasons into their respective runs. It’s sad that Mad Men<\/i> and Breaking Bad<\/i> will finish in the coming year but all good things do come to an end.<\/p>\n

Hung – Season 2
\nJustified – Season 3
\nThe Good Wife – Seasons 3-4
\nSmith
\nInside Men – Season 1
\nDirk Gently – Season 1
\nGame of Thrones – Seasons 1-3
\nMad Men – Season 5
\nNurse Jackie – Season 4
\nHounds<\/a>
\nThe Newsroom<\/a> – Season 1
\nHit & Miss
\nLongmire – Season 1
\nThe Golden Hour
\nBreaking Bad<\/a> – Season 5
\nThe Bletchley Circle
\nLast Resort
\nMonroe – Season 2
\nBoardwalk Empire – Season 1
\nVegas – Season 1
\nThe Sopranos – Season 1<\/i><\/p>\n

Late adopter excuse\/s for ‘discovering’ Smith<\/i>, Boardwalk Empire<\/i> and Sopranos<\/i>.<\/p>\n

A great year for UK telly with The Bletchley Circle<\/i> and Hit & Miss<\/i>.<\/p>\n

And sun-hat-tips to the excellent The Golden Hour<\/i> that almost, almost<\/b>, made me want to watch the Olympics, and the lamented Hounds<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Theatre<\/u><\/p>\n

Leilani Unasa’s His Mother’s Son<\/i>
\nP-Lab’s Hypothesis One<\/a><\/i>
\nLouise Tu’u<\/a>‘s Gaga: the unmentionable<\/i><\/p>\n
