As one lot of US cable shows wind down, so another load spin up, ready for their new seasons. And with new seasons come trailers. So after the jump, feel free to enjoy trailers for season eight of Weeds, season three of Boardwalk Empire and, best of all, Veep from Armando Iannucci of The Thick of It fame and starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus of even greater Seinfeld fame and the vice-president of the United States of America.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
