    RTE is doing with it normally does - bouncing things around the schedule.

    :rolleyes:

    ridiculous esp seeing its coming to the end of the season could they not stick to the 9pm slot until then


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,021 ✭✭✭whatever76


    Season Finale tonight @ 00.10pm .... Can't wait !!! Hope Martha survives !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    she's a bit ditzy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 198 ✭✭KlausFlouride


    Can't wait to see where it goes from here. Pastor Tim should take out life insurance pdq. Phillip looks to be falling apart (PTSD?), while Elizabeth is becoming more of a true believer. Best show on TV by a mile at the moment, think it's got Season 4, US ratings are terrible tho.

    Yes, it's been renewed. They're preparing season 4 now, due to start shooting next month, I believe. It'll be on FX (US) in Jan/Feb, presume RTE will have it next summer. Despite the schedule shenanigans, I've to give them some credit for showing it.

    So its an episode a week (fag break per episode) and after five weeks the writers go on a monumental bender.....good self discipline there.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,506 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    The creators don't take much of a break. They started the outline for 4 in late April, brought it to the suits in May.

    Spoiler :
    Innocent FBI IT guy - set up in a way that it was he who planted the pen bug
    and the pressure made him commit suicide - basically a tactic to get Martha in
    the clear !! Its also the act I think is putting Philip over the edge !!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,021 ✭✭✭whatever76


    Great final episode wasn't what I expected at all really as in no big dramatics - few nice twist and turns setting the scene nicely for Season 4 for each character !!! Going to miss my Monday night fix !!

    IT tech from Martha's office

    I'm so glad there's going to be another series. I can't stand the eldest daughter so hopefully something horrible happens to her :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,986 ✭✭✭philstar


    ^^^^^^

    ya she's a right do-gooder isn't she

    the scene of her saying a prayer while sitting on the toilet seat had me laughing


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭Kerrydude1981


    Glad to hear its coming back again,hopefully RTE will continue to show it

    If ye are looking for a Cold War fix then this is worth checking out. Only seen the first episode but it was really enjoyable. Doesn't really compare to The Americans in terms of plot and theme etc but it's worth a watch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,444 ✭✭✭DMcL1971


    I watched the whole of Deutschland 83 and can very highly recommend it.

    Is anyone else watching the New Series? we're 8 episodes in now. Simply amazing drama. Each time you watch a scene you can cut the tension with a knife.

    Writing and acting at its finest.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 256 ✭✭100cent


    Sorry, please ignore, I found the up to date thread. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Shane St.


    awesome news! renewed for a final 2 seasons. feel that's enough room to give this a satisfying end


  • Registered Users Posts: 24 WestCorkRebel


    Does anyone know when season 4 of The Americans is due to start on RTE?

    Season 3 had started this time last year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 26 TheAlbert


    I emailed RTE as I'm a fan too, no joy though - They told me there was no information on a new series and to keep an eye on the RTE Guide!

    Thats the same response I received from them regarding my query about Gotham!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,506 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    Maybe once the People vs OJ is over. What slot do they usually show The Americans, Thursdays?

    RTE seems to be repeating the series "Life before the Rising" in the OJ slot

    It's at 12.50 next Sunday and then back to 11.30pm after that.

    Doesn't make much sense to have put it on so late for just 2 Sundays - and for a repeat of 'Don't tell the Bride' too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭charkee


    only 5 eps to go

    wish rte would run a couple of double eps to get us to the end quickly,

    but rte seem so half hearted about the series,not holding my breath

    ep8 started well,poor Martha,,but the pace slowed down


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 801 ✭✭✭Mary63


    I hate watching it on the RTE player, it keeps freezing for a start and the ads are so annoying.I had to listen to some old man read a letter about four times, what is this Tesco ad about, its certainly not effective.

    How many more episodes are there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭charkee


    5 to go..

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,021 ✭✭✭whatever76


    watch ep 8 last - poor Martha is right ! How she do and then say that to Clarke at the end ... 
    For some reason I thought it was last episode based on ending but to my surprise it not ..hurray !!
     The scene between Elizabeth and Paige was tough to watch !!  Paster Tim needs to go ; >!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭charkee


    yes it had a bit of an end of season feel. maybe it was a season break ep in the4 states?

    I am not sure whether they are going to go down the "hank breaking bad ",leave it to last season reveal

    or whether FBI Bob is going to sus them sooner.???

    I think its a six season plan.
