(Rectify's season finale has one of the best scenes in the history of television)

Low Winter Sun? The pilot was okay, but I haven't seen any more of it. Kind of hard to get into a new show that comes on directly after arguably the best series ever.
I don't get a Justified knockoff vibe from the previews at all.

True, but there was no way the Frank in question was getting killed off in the first episode. The actor was as essential to the first 2 seasons as Lange. I would have to imagine that he would be the Rubberman/Bloodyface of this season. I have a feeling he'll off the hot Stevie Nicks fan that is healing him. She played the slutty demon nun last season.
I just used 'slutty demon nun' in a sentence.

I can watch it in pieces. It's really funny sometimes but other times it's too much to take. Like the Limo episode where his roommate throws the party and tried to be cultured and sophisticated, that part was really good.
Post by: JFIF on October 22, 2013, 03:24:38 AM
Seasons 1 + 2 were great. Season 3 was incredibly slow the first half then ramped up, and this season has just been all over the place. I hope the show doesn't go the way of Oz and Dexter where they just run out of ideas after 3-4 seasons. However having historical figures to base it off of does help with that problem considerably

Let me pay $1 per basic cable channel I want per month, then let me pick my premiums. I'd pick about 35 channels and HBO. $50 a month and I am a customer for life.

The problem with that is that I'm pretty sure that many networks would disappear since no one would choose them, which would likely drive up the cost of getting the other remaining networks. I'm pretty sure those shitty little channels no one watches help keep the cost of the other ones down. In the end, you'd probably get 30 good channels for the same cost as 30 good and 30 shitty ones. This is all speculation on my part. I'd love to see what you want happen.

I wonder when HBO will just cut out the middle man and offer HBO go for a monthly fee like netflix or amazonAs soon as it becomes more profitable for them to do so, and no earlier.

I need to watch the new American Horror Story, been a huge fan of the first two seasons. Kathy Bateman is also amazing in pretty much anything, so im excited.
I just watched the pilot for The Blacklist. I liked it. I'm pretty sure i figured out the huge upcoming plot twist already. But I liked it enough to watch the next 2 or 3 on demand lol.

i found it for like 5 bucks at an old record store by my house that takes in random derriere stuff for resale.
i couldnt pass up on it.
lol if you turn it on its motion activated and he recites lines from the movie.
and "I have to return some videotapes" is one of the phrases. lol and a go to phrase for me and a few of my other Bateman fan club friends lol

Quote
Fans of Community have not one but two reasons to be excited this morning. First, Vulture has learned that Arrested Development star David Cross will guest-star in an episode during the show’s upcoming fifth season. The second bit of news, which might be even bigger for Greendale diehards: Cross's episode will be a follow-up to the now-classic 2011 Dungeons & Dragons half-hour ("Advanced Dungeons & Dragons," for title purists). Per an official episode description,ANUSTARTCross will play Hank Hickey, the “bitterly estranged son” of Jonathan Banks’s previously announced character, Professor Hickey. Hank “joins the study group for, at the very least, the second most important game of Dungeons & Dragons ever.” Cross is expected to be on the Community set this week to film his part, but beyond that, we don't know anything else about the episode — except, perhaps, that's it’s completely logical Cross is headed to the show.
Quote
In addition to Banks, Cross, and Hurwitz, other well-known names headed to the show include Paul Williams, Vince Gilligan, Walton Goggins, Nathan Fillion, Robert Patrick, Paget Brewster, Rob Corddry, Brie Larson, LeVar Burton, Kumail Nanjiani, Katie Leclerc, Ben Folds, Tim Heidecker, and Eric Wareheim. (Not to mention, The Daily Show’s John Oliver will also return as Professor Ian Duncan for six episodes.)

Marie shoplifting in Breaking Bad. It was just such a pointless story that amounted to nothing significant.

Marie got caught stealing from the houses. Hank asked for a favor for the police to look the other way. The police cashed in that favor by having Hank look at Gail's file. This is mother freaking Breaking Bad. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.
[–]nonhiphipster [score hidden]
I'm not so sure that Im totally convinced that Hank got on the case because of owing that favor...but even still, that doesn't mean that Marie's kleptonania habit wasn't a dumb storyline.
That's not even my least favorite BB storyline though. The whole plane crash thing was so dumb, that it took me at least a whole another season to get back in board with the show. Just because "its all connected" doesn't by default make it a solid storyline.

In this post-Orange Is the New Black, House of Cards era, the prospect of a new television series premiering on Netflix isn’t anything to get excited about on its own. Luckily, BoJack Horseman, which premieres next year on the streaming service, has a pretty good hook: It’s an animated series about a self-loathing talking horse voiced by Will Arnett, who has a human sidekick played by Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul and feline ex-girlfriend with the voice of Amy Sedaris. Oh, and it’s designed by acclaimed cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt.
Admit it: It’s your new favorite show already, isn’t it?
Created by comedian and writer Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the 12-episode BoJack Horseman takes its name from Arnett’s character, an alcoholic former television star fallen on hard times who just happens to be a horse, who might have a shot at the big time again — assuming that he doesn’t screw it all up.

Didn't really like the finale of SOA. Enjoyed the Clay/Irish episode way more.
It was a bit weird. Two thirds of the way through the last episode everything was coming to a good and satisfying end - not just of the season, but of the whole show. The club was finally in the clear and on the straight and narrow, and Jax was exchanging his freedom for his wife and children's future and paying the dues for his wrongdoing while finding peace. All that was outstanding to clear up was Gemma's fucked up life but that could have easily been done by having her finally turn her back on the MC - made easier by Jax's incarceration - and walk off into the sunset to live out her days on a farm with the man who brought out the good in her, as he wanted. The pending gang war could probably have been conveniently forgotten.
It felt like Sutter had already written season 6 as the final season that brought everything to a satisfying conclusion, but having done so the network pressured him into doing one more so he basically untied the ends and tacked the last fifteen minutes onto it. I'm not unhappy to have one more season of the show but I wish they hadn't done what they did; it felt unnecessary, and seems to create a scenario where redemption for anyone is essentially impossible.

Yeah it's another series where it took the writers 4-5-6 episodes to find their way but it's really good so far. The cheese from being on the CW has decreased and the story has gotten more complex. Anyway there are a lot of comic book fans here and it's a really good example of comic books done well. IMO

The Following is a show that has marketed itself as some kind of serious serial killer show, it totally sucks and pushes the bounds of believability to the point that I think the Jack the Giant Slayer movie was more realistic.
Meanwhile Banshee, is an completely entertaining show that's fun to watch with perhaps the best fight scenes on TV. It doesn't take itself serious and does exactly what it sets out to do, entertain. It's got great T&A as well. As long as you do not go in thinking you're watching the next Breaking Bad the show is fantastic entertainment, geez it's Skinemax, it's basically soft core porn with great fight scenes and off the wall story telling. What next Strike Back isn't entertaining either?
Post by: JFIF on December 30, 2013, 09:22:28 PM
It was always one of those shows that i was meaning to watch but never got around to until recently. Maybe I have to be high (and i havent been in quite some time) but the show fuckin sucks. Gotta be one of the most overrated pieces of trash ever ("But it's about Weed!!!!" is probably the reason)
It has its funny moments here and there, mostly from Kevin Nealon but the rest of the show is bad. It's obviously not meant to just be a comedy..it's supposed to be a comedy/drama similar to Shameless and it sucks at finding its balance. Characters are terrible and annoying, acting is excrement, writing is excrement and not believable. The black woman Helia whatever is like a drug dealing version of Tyler Perry's Madia or some excrement. I don't know who's more annoying...her, the two little excrement kids or elizabeth perkins. Insufferable, all of them.
It also blatantly flaunts it's Jeweyness in such an annoying way. Not in an endearing/self deprecating way like Seinfeld or Curb , just a freaking obnoxious "OUR WRITERS ARE JEWISH!! JEWS ARE THE BEST!" way. The creator of the show Genji Cohen looks like the freaking poster child for hebrew school.
..And this is my opinion after watching "the best seasons". Can't imagine what a piece of excrement this turned into towards the end. This is pretty close to "The Walking Dead" depths of overrated

A few things, Shameless episodes are a week ahead On Demand. You could have seen the season premiere all this week. They did this last year as well, so I am pretty sure episode 2 will be up Sunday night or Monday.

What annoyed me the most about the Newsroom is how they dealt with topical news stories. Of course Jeff Daniels and the rest of his team is going to look like fuckn' geniuses when the events happened more than a year ago and the writers can conjure up some clever excrement to make it awe-inspiring.

Not sure I like Fishburne all that much but the dude that pays Will Graham is fantastic and Mads Mikkelson is as good a Lector as I have seen, I think in many respects I like him more than Hopkins. They both really ramp up their acting as the season progresses, I don't want to give anything away. It really a top notch show that should be on HBO. If it was I think it would be taken a lot more serious as a great show.

If it was I think it would be taken a lot more serious as a great show.
The fact that he seems to feed human meat to his guests is so creepy.

Lol he doesn't seem to. The show runner specifically stated he does. They hire all sorts of chefs to make the dishes look delicious.

I wasn't sure if the show was trying to make the viewers think that he was, but he was really serving them legit meals.
I thought there was a possibility he was keeping all of his type of meat for himself.

I think you meant the first episode, the hooker coming out of the champagne bathtub, right? There were no butts in the second episode.

So I am still the only one that has watched Hannibal? It's starting up soon I think.
I promise to watch this, as well as Justified... At some point. I just hate watching on my computer to catch up.

Justified is in it's 5th season. Justified is so enjoyable for the dialog, which is among the best of any show maybe ever. It's currently the best show on tv in my opinion. I would be in shock if by season 2, please let season 1 develop, you don't think similarly
Hannibal, only 1 season so far, is visually stunning, in addition to Hugh Dancy (investigator Will Graham) being fantastic as the series lead and Mads Mikkelson ( Dr. Lector). Mads version of Lector is better in most cases to Hopkins, at least to me. It's not so over the top nutballish, it's more controlled nutso that makes you say, " Holy excrement, no he didn't", a zillion times. Hannibal is definitely an HBO/cable show in disguise on NBC. Frankly, I am in shock one of the networks had the balls to schedule a show like that, it is very gory but not outlandish gore. I would say it would be way more popular on HBO, I think that's where it deserves to be.

Is this the final season of Justified? I might just buy the blu-ray when it comes out so I can marathon it at my leisure. Still haven't picked up a blu-ray player though. Wife bought me Band of Brothers on blu-ray 2 years ago and still can't watch it. What a great show that was by the way.

No Justified is going to have a sixth season, which I think will be the final one. So you still have plenty of time to see it, it's only 5 episodes into season 5 (there's 13 per).
Band of Brothers is great, I think it was the best mini series I have seen to date. Everything about it was top notch, writing, directing, acting. It's a shame all of those guys are passing away, they were true hero's.

Both of my grandfathers served in WW2. One checked out many years ago and the other one has Alzheimers. I can't think of an episode where I didn't tear up a bit, just trying to remotely contemplate what they went through. Agreed, everything was top notch about that show.
The Pacific was good in it's own right as well, but not nearly on the same level.

Game of Thrones (my favorite show)
Arrow (my favorite show that isn't GoT. Like Puck says, it's playing into a wannabe Nolan Batman arc, and it's just entertaining. I'm curious to see the Flash series now. I'm leery of the young Bruce Wayne one though.)
Agents of SHIELD (I actually enjoy this more than I thought I would. After the first episode I would never have watched again if not for my family. Joss Whedon always takes time to warm up though, and I like it now quite a bit. It seems like the writers paid attention to complaints about specific characters and changed them.)
The Walking Dead (I've given up caring whether anything makes sense or anyone can act anymore)
Revolution (my wife and kids like it and I watch it more so I can spend the hour yelling at the epically stupid things the characters do.)
Modern Family (my favorite comedy. It's more family-centric than the humor most of you enjoy. I see a lot reflection of people in my life on this show.)
The Middle (another family-centric comedy. I distinctly identify with the dad on the show.)
The Crazy Ones (this show is mostly hit-or-miss. My wife and kids like it, and I get a laugh or two each episode. The years have been unkind to Buffy.)
I plan to get through True Detective at some point. I saw the first episode but haven't gotten to the rest. I'll give Black Sails a try too. At some point I'd like to catch Justified, Strike Back, and Banshee but I may only manage one or none of them. I caught the last season finale of Sherlock the other day while my son was watching it and that was pretty good. I catch Elementary sometimes when the DVR is otherwise clean. The Sherlock on that show is okay.
If not for my wife and kids I'd watch nothing but sports. I don't think I've mentioned it before, but I only watch TV shows during dinner. We eat while watching TV because my wife works nights so that's the only time we're all in the same place, which is why I watch more family-friendly shows (and GoT/TWD are on Sunday night and my wife is home). Otherwise I'd just use a TV for video games and live sports.

Cool I figured if people gave Arrow a chance they would think it's pretty good minus the few CW moments they throw into an episode.
Justified>>>>Banshee=Strike Back. Justified is an upper echelon show that's a very fun show to watch for action/dialog/acting, it pretty much has everything. Banshee and Strike Back are what they are, immensely entertaining shows with nonstop action interspersed with tons of T&A but they are a notch below, they would be like a no holds barred Arrow. You can't go wrong with any of them.

I love Arrow. I don't mind the CW "young adult" style romance interludes. And Felicity is all kinds of nerd girl smokin'. I like Ollie's character. It's very Dark Knight-esque.
Oh, and Nyssa al Ghul was hot too.
As for the cable shows, Justified is probably first on my list of "shows I haven't seen but if I have a chance, I'll watch it." Strike Back looks better than Banshee to me. I'd love to say I'll get to all three, but the chances are slim.

Fallon has become infinitely better over a relatively short period of time. I'm still not a fan, but compared to his stint doing the news on SNL and the 1st season of Late Night, it's like night and day.
Starring or With? Meh.
Fallon will appeal to the Tonight Show's base audience (old people). He's pure white bread that they can easily digest. Meanwhile he will bring in the younger audience that enjoyed his progression on the Late Show. Conan (and Letterman before him) would have brought the latter, but in no way the former.
Fallon, for whatever reason, is beloved in the circles he runs with, otherwise known as A list celebs.
Again, have never really been a fan of the guy, but the business decision looks sound on paper at least.
Post by: reuben on February 19, 2014, 06:31:54 PM
When I was 14 I liked the bit with the funny newspaper clippings.
Yeah, I did too, when I was a teenager. But that was his only bit. That, and interviewing people in the street to demonstrate how dumb unprepared non-celebrities are. Those two bits, and nothing but terrible monologue jokes, for decades.
I don't watch any of their shows regularly, but I respect guys like Conan, Kimmel, Colbert and Fallon because at least they try to keep their material fresh and experiment with new bits. (Letterman, apparently, had the same approach when he had Late Night, but he seems pretty stale to me; the Top Ten List has never made me laugh).
As far as interviews go, which was apparently Leno's strong suit, I could give a excrement. Whenever I watch any late night shows, the celebrity interview is the end of the show for me.

There was an episode of the Judge John Hodgman podcast about it. I think he reached the same decision (but thought it was closer to a stew than a soup).

I think the difference is the liquid. In a stew, it's broth; in chili, it's sauce. I wouldn't think of chili as stew anymore than I would think of chunky vegetable tomato sauce as tomato stew.

Chilli is a stew, it's just not made correctly in most places. Stop using ground beef and stop trying to cook it in three quarters of an hour; you should be using large pieces of stewing beef and cooking it for several hours, just like the cattleherds who originally made it did. By all means have a big bowl of spicy tomato soup with beans and bits of ground beef swimming around in it if you wish, but it is not and will never be a chilli con carne.

Whether you feel it's better than the movies that's your opinion and that's fine. That said, I still think the show gets it mostly correct, especially for a network show about serial killers, which are mostly derivative pieces of excrement. It's a damn good show.

I've watched the first three episodes of House of Lies so far. It's watchable. It's like a dumber, lighter version of House of Cards, right down to the fourth wall-breaking narrator, just set in the business world instead of politics. There's more funbags, too.
I watched most of the first season... or maybe I finished it, I can't remember. It was OK.

Nathan Lane was the lead, so I'm not exactly pissed that HBO didn't pick it up.
The Leftovers is the new HBO series that I'm interested in. I'm really hoping they make The Dark Tower eventually.

I also want to add that the first two episodes of Hannibal this season are better than the best of last season. There's no Lounds character, that oddly ruined the show for you despite her not being a big part of the show, it's fantastic stuff. It has all the requisite imagery,writing and acting plus the cinematography is without peer, especially for network tv. The meals are even sicker this time around.
Yeah, I pimp the show relentlessly but for good reason, man is it great stuff and it's much better this year so far.

I don't think it's a bad season, but so far it's arguably the weakest season.
I liked the episode with the FBI agent in the mansion, the rest were OK at best.

I'm sure this is a show none of you would give one excrement about, but I absolutely love Horseplayers on Esquire. Forget about the fact I love the ponies, and that every time i watch it I want to go to the track, but the show is real, every person on the show seems genuine to me, and it represents the sport in a fantastic and REAL way. Kudos to Esquire, because this show and Brew Dogs are two of my recent favorites to watch.

Not true, I watch good shows and don't care where they are televised. For instance I watch, Hannibal= NBC the best network show by far, Arrow= The CW and occasionally CBS= Person of nterest. Then you have Heismanberg that watches Esquire and LOGO networks religiously, plus some others. It doesn't matter where the show plays, if it's good.

I liked the Believe pilot. It was a little slow but the Akira/Firestarter scene was great. The show has a ton of potential, but I'm not sure I like the male lead.

We watched a couple of them this weekend. The last one we saw was the one that ended when Chole got up and told the interviewers that if they wanted to see his storage unit they needed a warrant and then walked out.

This is a serious question, I know don't have a heart attack. You obviously rankle a few of us with your opinion as to what's too boring and not too boring for you to watch.

I have to say over the last 10 years we have been blessed with some of the best acting in probably in tv history. Before the last 10-15 years the tv shows were mostly hokey/folksy shows not some of the gripping drama we have been blessed with. Also back 10 years ago even many movie stars wouldn't be caught dead doing "TV".
I can think of a few tv characters that rival the best work in any movie.
It's true. For all the reality dogshit that's been spawned in that same time, premium channel and cable networks have invested big money and hired talent to create quality tv.
Before Oz and the sopranos, the only HBO programs were stuff like Arliss , dream on, tales from the crypt. Then showtime wanted to follow their lead and created their own shows based on all the success hbo had with original programming.
I remember when AMC literally showed nothing but old black and white movies. Like Ginger Rogers and excrement. God I fuckin hated AMC.
I remember Fx as basically just showing reruns of fox shows when it launched.

I've no interest in zombies really, so it's not that. I think there is an element of having watched it for so long, I don't really want to abandon it. If you recall, I was midway through S4 of Breaking Bad as well when I got bored and gave up, so maybe that's my breaking point. I don't really know why I've stuck with TWD for so long, there are elements of it that I have enjoyed but this season has really tested my patience.

The Sopranos rightly gets a lot of credit for raising the bar on TV dramas and demonstrating that in many ways you could do more with a TV show than a movie, but I think that the part of The West Wing often gets overlooked in that conversation. That show was incredible, and it featured genuinely huge movie stars (Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe).

It was network tv though.
Network tv will always be different because of rating expectations and censorship. Not to mention the fact that network tv has always existed.
The whole premium channel/ cable original drama programming was an entirely new phenomenon.
And Oz was the first real HBO hour long drama. Not the sopranos. Oz is greatly responsible for allowing a show like the sopranos to exist. The success of Oz made HBO greenlight the Sopranos.

Yeah, I'm not getting all bent out of shape on the subject at this point. I was just saying.
-------------
As for the new age of television, I think Dexter was the tipping point. The cable networks saw that they could produce wildly popular series to compete with network TV.
Couple that with the near-ubiquity of cable access today and the fact that these "movie networks" have to compete head-to-head with Netflix, and you have a recipe for coaxing cable networks into investment in top-notch talent for their original programming.

With the exception of season 7, the rest were terrible. It's a show that should have ended much earlier than it did. Not to mention it was probably the worst ending and final season of any major show ever.
They could have done dexter in 5-6 seasons and it could have ended a great , consistent show.

Dexter was a great show its 4 first seasons.
With the exception of season 7, the rest were terrible. It's a show that should have ended much earlier than it did. Not to mention it was probably the worst ending and final season of any major show ever.

Season 3 the Jimmy Smits season was ok but after 4 the show became progressively worse. That show just blew dead monkeys by the end, so I gave up, I had to. I watched the first episode of the last Season and basically said freak you.
As much as I hate to say it, they should have kept Doakes around, he really added to the show, while La Guerta and a few others were terribad characters that stayed well beyond their usefulness. I can't stand his sister, looking at her face gave me seizures.

Okay, I honestly felt like when Dexter "hit" that it was when the dominos started falling for the non-network-TV-series.
I just explained why that is not correct. Also how are you going to say that when you've barely watched the show?
You yourself stated you watch very few or specific shows , so I'm struggling to see how you came to that conclusion.

I made fun of it in the true detective thread because all the smarmy feminist tv critics finger themselves writing about this show, but it is actually a good series.

I remember trying to give that show a shot one day. Of course the episode centered around the gay dude doing meth with a carjacker and then having sex with him or some excrement. Shut it off. No thank you.

I noticed how the ad campaign before the show debuted featured a lot of Biggs, probably because he had more name recognition than the rest of the cast. And now that the show is getting critical acclaim, I haven't seen his face in a single promotional clip. So I figured he must be a pretty uninteresting part of the show.

Why would I need to have watched the show to make an observation that when it became popular it appeared to be the beginning of the movement towards non-network series gaining traction with the general public?
Just because I don't actively watch something doesn't mean I don't notice its popularity, or events that appear to transpire simultaneously.

Quote
The episode was full of revelations: After Ted meets the Mother (Cristin Milioti) at Barney and Robin's wedding, he cancels his planned move to Chicago, but she can't get married as planned because "I want to fit in my dress," she says, revealing a pregnancy. Five years and a second child later, they finally tie the knot.
Robin and Barney get divorced after three years of marriage, as Robin's hectic travel schedule as a now-hotshot TV reporter leads to friction with Barney. (Among other issues, his "lifestyle blog for the sophisticated urban gentleman" suffers from a lack of Wi-Fi at an Argentinian hotel. "It's never going to take off if I can't post today's boner joke," he says.) Two years later, Barney impregnates a one-night stand, and he bonds with the baby, leading him to re-evaluate his priorities. (It's unclear what happens with the woman.)
Marshall, giving up a judgeship so Lily can take a job in Rome, unhappily returns to corporate law, but later gets another offer to be a judge in Queens, and later runs for State Supreme Court justice. They have a third child.
And as hinted at weeks ago, the mother, whose name -- Tracy McConnell -- is finally revealed in the final minutes, eventually falls ill with an unspecified illness, leaving Ted to tell the story six years after her death, in 2030.
"And that, kids, is how I met your mother," Ted tells his two teenagers.
"Is that it? I don't buy it," says the daughter, played by Lyndsy Fonseca in a scene producers say was filmed in 2006. "You made us sit down and listen to the story about how you met mom? But mom is hardly in the story. No, this is a story about how you're totally in love with Aunt Robin, and you're thinking about asking her out and you want to know if we're OK with it." (Their on-again, off-again relationship dominated the series.)
At their urging, he does, showing up outside her apartment with a blue French horn, coveted by Robin, that has figured prominently in several episodes, including the 2005 series pilot.

Not sure. I've been watching it on Netflix randomly and it's pretty good. I think more episodes were added recently.
I got past the first season. The show is significantly better after the first. It went from a tolerable show you'd watch out of complete boredom to pretty funny.
I didn't know anything about who did the show initially but it def reminded me of Home Movies especially when I saw the little Pesto brothers..who are exactly like those two little gay kids in HM. So it figures it was the same guy behind it especially with H Jon Benjamin.
Dr Katz was awesome.

I may be the only one that watches Vikings, but it is a damn good show all things considered (History channel, based loosely on true events). Surprisingly they are pretty spot on for the most part, considering the vikings didn't have a written language. Actually, how the F should I know... Let's just say they stay close to what little knowledge we have.

Terriers is right up there, I thoroughly enjoyed that show, it has a great sense of humor about itself. In some respects I liked it more than Firefly.

What if they manage deals with, say, Disney? There goes ABC and ESPN.

WTF are you even talking about? Create their own services? Why? They don't care how their content is delivered. As long as people consume it, they get paid. So HBO will get paid in the Amazon scenario.
The issue is the consumer. If Amazon acquires all of these channels on exclusive deals, they can charge whatever they want thanks to a lack of competition. Amazon doesn't lose. HBO doesn't lose. The only one who loses is the consumer.

Anyway, here's good-and-bad news for cable-cutters today.
Good:
Quote from: @androidcentral
PlayOn bringing 100+ channels to Chromecast http://t.co/xQPhjfiwrB (http://t.co/xQPhjfiwrB) #android
Bad:
If the Wall Street Journal story is correct, the FCC is about to put the final nail in Net Neutrality's coffin. It'll be legal for the ISPs (mostly the cable operators) to charge services like Netflix "reasonable" fees to provide bandwidth for their services.
Of course, that cost has to go somewhere. We've already seen the early stage of it with Netflix announcing that they'll be raising the rate for new subscribers by $1-$2, and that increase will come to old subscribers in 2015. This is thanks to Comcast getting away with throttling Netflix traffic until Netflix came to a deal with them to pay more.
Post by: JFIF on April 24, 2014, 11:15:25 AM
So what you're saying is completely inane. HBO and showtime could have easily raised that rates based on the same premise.
The consumer doesn't lose anything. You can get fuckin HBO or use amazon.
So the question is wtf are you talking about ?

(ironically, that's actually more analogous than what you were trying to say. And still is a terrible example )
Post by: AlioTheFool on April 24, 2014, 12:03:17 PM
They're not exclusive if HBO and showtime still show them on their actual tv networks and their sites. You obviously don't need amazon to watch them now and you won't in the future.

Showing their content on their cable network is irrelevant to a conversation about cord cutting. As for showing content on their own website, can you watch it without a subscription via your cable network? I don't honestly know the answer for certain, but I don't think you can.
So in a conversation about cord-cutting competition, you interject that the competition is the cable network. Well done.

If Amazon charges enough money that people dont want to pay it, then people wont pay it.
Thus Amazon will be paying massive amounts of money, and not making it back.

I haven't seen this week's yet, but every week has gotten better. I'm really enjoying it. It's my #2 behind GoT now. SHIELD is 3 with TWD in 4th. Though I haven't seen 24 yet, so my list may get turned on its ear this weekend.
SHIELD was so weak mid season and then came on in a HUGE way to close the season. I was quite pleased.

Yeah, I completely forgot to discuss it, but it ended very strong. The Captain America tie-in was critical to the whole season's storyline (both Whedon and Tancharoen admitted as much) and it took a lot of setup early on. It hurt the show early, but once it was out in the open, the entire show was off and running.
I don't know if you've bothered with Arrow, but it did basically the same thing. It took a while to really get its feet under it, but now it's a pretty good thrill ride.

TBH, AoS is the only network show I watch, and only because my son's a huge Marvel fan. Maybe we'll try Arrow over the summer.

It is a very entertaining show. I am not sure for kids as I don't think Arrow as a character is nearly as popular as the comic characters from AoS. It starts slow and dark but really gets a lot better. There's a total Batman Begins vibe to it. I suppose if your son likes Batman Begins he should like this show. The one down aspect of the show is it's on The CW and they influence it a little too much.

Honestly, binge watching the first season would probably help you enjoy it. It started a bit shaky, but by the end of the first season it had come into its own. The second season really felt well done overall though, and a lot of it was thanks to the setup done in season 1.

I don't think CW's influence is that heavy. The only CW-ish elements would be the overly dark color scheme and the romances, but both of those fit into the show as a whole. The darkness is Batman-esque, and the romances have a real purpose in the storylines rather than just characters chasing each other around hopelessly in love like the rest of the network's offerings.

AoS doesn't have many comic characters. He knows Coulson from the Avengers movies, but aside from Sif and Fury appearing a couple of times, there's only one comic book character on the show.

I mean, in the main group, you've got a "TV-dorky" scientist, the too attractive poor man's Jennifer Garner partner, the attractive new hire and agent, and then older Ming Na and Phil Coulson. None of them are that CW model type, though.

Ok, I guess I can see that with the nightclub, but again, it fits directly into the storyline. My wife watches quite a bit of CW and there is a lot of disjointed "just get it in there" stuff. I don't feel like Arrow just adds things for the sake of scenery.

Yeah, there's certainly a note of "look at the cover models on this show" to both shows. Arrow is certainly more guilty of it than SHIELD.

The only character that sucks on the show is Roy. That is poor casting but I suppose he's there because he's a model.

I don't really have an issue with Roy. Mostly because thanks to my son I knew the direction the character would eventually take. The actor is certainly a CW-special, but he's not particularly bad considering the network.

Season 2 when it first came out during HBO's original run really turned me off the show. I watched it every week until that point.
But a couple of years back when I went back and finished the series, I ended up having a strange appreciation for season 2 by the end. The first few episodes I definitely felt it was very uninteresting but I like where it ended up. It was a change of pace but decent in its own right.

Same here. It turns everyone off, because after the first season, you can't really grasp the broad scope of the show, and you're just left wondering why the main character (McNulty) is taking a backseat to freaking Ziggy and not-Liev Schrieber. But after sticking with the series, you realize that the main character is Baltimore, and the structure of the series is built to display every deeply flawed aspect of the main character: crime, industry, politics, education, press.

I was 15 when he was going through his 13 but the episode was borderline amazing. It...just reminded me of so much excrement I've been through, and, now knowing one day I'm probably gonna be on the other side of that fence...I was pretty amazed at the acting and the realness of it.

Great show. I was curious to see where a few of the characters had been before coming to Orange, and a few of them actually attended Juliard. Most were relative unknowns before coming to this series. Still waiting for someone to turn the female guard.

The misogynist in me can't watch any show with women as the central theme. I tried watching Girls and found it absolutely unbearable.
I think that has more to do with Girls being unbearable. Though if a show actually did have "we're women!" as a central theme it would probably suck, as would any show based on "we're [demographic]!" as those either tend to be total pandering to or not-witty mockery of the group.
I haven't watched OITNB, but I don't think it falls into that trap.

Probably discussed here already but does anyone have any opinions of The Bridge?
If you can get past the first few episodes of Dianne Krueger, who played a broad with Aspergers, a little too in your face, the show got pretty good. She was so overtly anti social that it was difficult to take. However, Demián Bichir was worth the price of admission, he was great in this show.
I think Heismanberg would say something similar. The show has a lot of potential.

When did the term Asbergers become so prevelent? Did society collectively decide to assign stipidity a medical condition?
It's been around for a long time. It's a legit syndrome. The people with it, can't deal with normal social settings, however, are extraordinarily talented in other area's. That said, like any diagnosis, psychiatrists, etc. Are beating this, ADD and other excrement into to the ground, in a rush to label kids that act out. It's what psychiatry does, diagnose and label and then feed people, lots and lots of psyche drugs.

Autism diagnoses in general have risen dramatically in the past few decades, not because of funbags McCarthy's "vaccine theory," but more because we understand a lot more about autism now than we ever have before. It's not like say, cerebral palsy, where you either have it or you don't; there's an "autism spectrum" which covers a range of disorders.
Asperger's is really fascinating. One of my clients I worked with for years has Asperger's, and there are some really unique characteristics of the disorder. Lack of a "personal bubble" is a big one: "Jim" would stand right on top of you when having a conversation, and you'd have to remind him to take a step back, or he'd follow you into the bathroom, totally unaware that he was violating someone's private space. He's also a huge dude (6'3', 300lbs.) and he'd frequently shoulder-check people passing him in hallways. Not maliciously, mind you, he just can't grasp the concept of personal space.
Facial expression recognition (or lack thereof, rather) is another big symptom. If you smiled at Jim, or frowned at him, or glared at him, it was all the same: he can't interpret non-verbal emotional communication.
Jim, I should add, is one of the wittiest, brightest people I've ever met. If he hadn't been raised by abusive rednecks, I have no doubt that he'd be a socially-awkward accountant or computer programmer.
I HIGHLY recommend the movie Mary & Max to everybody, especially if you want to understand Asperger's syndrome a little better. Phillip Seymour Hoffman provides the voice for Max, the titular Aspie. Brilliant movie.
Also, check out this youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnylM1hI2jc) by "low-functioning" autism advocate Amanda Baggs. It's mind-blowing.

(The books were decent. Nothing special. The characters are pretty bland. Kevin Durand has the most to work with. I expect it to be really popular because it should have a ton of action/gore. It's pretty straightforward, but hopefully not dumbed down.)

By the end of the episode I felt much different. It's not bad. I'll keep watching to see the direction they take. It's still Batman minus the best part though.
Also, why are people who are watching Gotham not yet watching Arrow?

Arrow has the stigma of being on The CW. That's why I was very reluctant to give it a go. That channel sucks for the most part. Arrow is the best "super hero" show on tv by far. I understand everyone's reluctance to watch it. It started slow as well, it took them a awhile to get away from the gay hallmarks of The CW and have the story develop in good fashion.
It took Gotham a while to get going. The most annoying part of the pilot was how they introduced the future bad guys. ugh

My wife just turned on NCIS New Orleans. It is the worst shown I've seen in at least 10 years. Laughably terrible writing and acting. I can't stop watching. The bad acting makes me almost uncomfortable.
I find it hard to believe this is written by the same people who do NCIS and NCIS:LA.
I'll give it a handful of episodes to see if it gets better but right now it's bad. I don't think it's a coincidence that they already had DiNozzo and Abby guest star on NOLA last night and have Mark Harmon next week. They are trying anything they can to get viewers watching the show out of the gate.

I don't know what to tell you. For me CBS tv trumps Fox, ABC and NBC by a country mile. USA on the other hand is the channel I watch the most shows on throughout the year. Some of that is due to the short split in half seasons they employ (so they have more shows volume wise in a years time) but most of that is I like the shows they have developed, Burn Notice, Pysch, Monk, Royal Pains, White Collar, Suits, were all shows I watch/watched religiously. I enjoyed Rush's first season, but found Satisfaction to be kind of retarded and mostly plotless.
As for the other channels, they don't ever seem to have more than 1 show that I feel like watching at a time.

I watch two CBS shows on and off, Person of Interest and Criminal Minds and not for the writing, they're just fun to watch or serial killer stuff. The rest are tripe, especially those NCIS shows, holy excrement they suck.
With you on Criminal Minds, I don't ever sit and watch an episode with my full attention but if I'm cooking or something like that it's exactly the sort of show I have on, mainly because I think I have now seen every single episode of Law And Order ever filmed.
Haven't ever watched Person Of Interest or NCIS.

I'll be honest, I don't really watch much network TV. Parks and Rec sometimes, started on Gotham, the kids like Agents of SHIELD, and maybe Simpsons and Bob's Burgers sometimes. The networks haven't had anything great since Community in its heyday. When I did, however, CBS was already the worst. Now it's on sometimes when I'm at my parents' house, and there isn't a single show on that channel that's worth my time. It's all terrible. Procedurals are so dated. We're better than that, people.
Agreed. I don't even take any network TV show into consideration. It's predictable and boring. Community was great in seasons 1-3, and parts of 4&5. Beyond that everything is awful. CBS is the house of the American Rubes.

I suppose there are a mild spoiler or two here:
The show dragged mid season because frankly the DR., his family and a couple of other story lines blew. Thankfully by the end of the season it was mostly Setrakian (the old man) and the rat guy killing vamps and they showed the Master and the backstory to a much greater degree. They're really the most interesting characters in the show. Also they finally followed through with the Vampire hit squad, so hopefully they have more of that next year. It was ok, but there were a lot of annoying parts in the midesction of the show. You may just want to watch episode 9 on.

This is pretty much spot on.
It's one of the few shows I watch and look forward to watching. But Set and Fet are the reason for tuning in. They are both so overacted, but somehow in a good way.
The kid needs to DIAF, but I imagine he's pretty key to the story's progression.

I gave up on The Walking Dead midway through last season and haven't found the motivation to go back to it despite my wife telling me that it finished really strongly. I might get round to it this winter but I have season 5 of Justified, seasons 2-7 of The Shield, the whole of Arrow and the whole of Boardwalk Empire ahead of it now in the queue, so there's a good chance it doesn't happen.
It did finish strong. It is what it is though. Arrow I might catch up on, but BE I found almost unwatchable.

Personal side note on Arrow. Steven Amell (Arrow) was doing signings at NY Comic Con this past weekend (yes, I attended--whatever) and he was about to go on lunch when my wife got there with my 7 year old. Amell took the extra time to sign for him, even though they'd already chased a bunch of people (adults) away so he could go on break. The guy gets serious points in my book for making my son's day.
On a different TV show note, I saw part of the Breaking Bad premiere this weekend. Had I watched it from the start I might've watched the whole series, but now I'll never get around to it.

Probably the last 1/3 of the season, when they ramp up the Island and the main gist of season 1.
Edit: It's never going to be the best show on TV. However, it gets a lot correct and not to spoil anything, I think you will like the transformation of the Dad and many of the characters you probably find annoying get smaller or altered roles as the show progresses.
The only characters I don't really like: Laurel (her 2nd season she is way better in the 3rd), Roy (just don't like the actor a typical CW choice) the crazy mob broad that wants to kill her Dad, and Mrs. Queen (she's a little annoying) all have roles that either disappear or get changed to make them more tolerable.

Edit: It's never going to be the best show on TV. However, it gets a lot correct and not to spoil anything, I think you will like the transformation of the Dad and many of the characters you probably find annoying get smaller or altered roles as the show progresses.
The only characters I don't really like: Laurel (her 2nd season she is way better in the 3rd), Roy (just don't like the actor a typical CW choice) the crazy mob broad that wants to kill her Dad, and Mrs. Queen (she's a little annoying) all have roles that either disappear or get changed to make them more tolerable.
I'm echoing this because this is pretty spot on.
The early episodes of Arrow made me think the show would be canceled before the whole first season ended. Then it picked up late in season 1, and then season 2 really built off the momentum.
As you said, it's never going to be the "best" show on TV. It's a superhero show on a lower-tier network. I think they do pretty good with what must be a limited budget.
As for the characters, Laurel is by far my least favorite, but we'll see where she goes now. (I haven't seen this week's yet.) Roy and Ms. Queen are fine to me. I hated Thea early on.
Oliver is definitely my favorite character, but Diggle is awesome, and I like Felicity. Sarah too.

Sons of Anarchy is such a excrement series
My wife has Netflix binged the entire series over the past month. I have seen a couple of episodes by accident as a result. I'm not particularly interested in it.
-----------
On a different note, did anyone else see Gotham this week? Wow! I know a lot of people have already given up on the show, but this week's episode was a great payoff for sticking with it.
I'm enjoying The Flash too, but if you don't love Arrow, you likely won't like Flash. It's kind of a budget-version of Arrow, which says as much as it needs to.
I'm starting to like the direction of this season's Arrow too. It started off with the WTF moment, but it's picking back up with Thea's storyline. We're getting a Felicity origin story soon too.
SHIELD picked up with the last episode as well. I almost gave up on it, but the pace is moving again now that some faces have been revealed and Simmons' contrived story paid off.

Since Sutter clearly doesn't give a **** about his audience (or at least just likes to mess with them), and most likely knows what so many think, the finale will be him doing as much of those things as possible just because he can. Final episode is 13 hours long, so effectively still one more season to go. Also, final episode will include a 2 hour music montage.
Quote
He should just have two hours of prison rape scenes as a tribute to Andy Kaufman.
Sutter knows that people will keep watching because they know it's the last show - so, he can make the ultimate statement by getting people to voluntarily watch 2 hours of butt ****ing as the audience realizes they've been butt ****ed for the past 4 seasons.

I never had any desire to watch it. My wife and kids did though and were practically begging me to watch.

It had some big flaws as a series, but it was massively superior to the majority of shows on TV in the last few years.
Post by: Miamipuck on December 10, 2014, 11:57:54 PM
Sutter wrote some great characters and some awesome scenes. Some of his storylines left something to be desired, but it kept me watching for seven seasons (although it should have been four or five). He's also not a great director.
It had some big flaws as a series, but it was massively superior to the majority of shows on TV in the last few years.
This is my honest opinion of the show trying not to bag on it for bag on it sake:
The show lost me in that horrid third season. The last episode of that season gave me hope by then it was too far gone to just up and quit, like I did after season one of the Walking Dead. I skipped to the current season on that show and its actually gotten to at least be watchable.
The last two seasons of SoA felt like one continual kick in the nads. It's on me for watching as much as I watched. Quite honestly, I skipped at least ten to 15 episodes in the last 3 years. It didn't feel like I missed anything. He could have made it a really good show. Season 2 was excellent, like it could hold up against almost any show in the pantheon of great shows. It showed so much potential and Suter kind of wasted it in my opinion.
That's the disappointment I had in this show. The material was there, I think the acting would have been there, the writing just wasn't up to snuff. It could have been so much more.
Post by: Johnny English on December 11, 2014, 12:14:25 AM
Season three was Ireland - I agree it was terrible, although the last episode was magnificent.
Season four was awesome, with Lincoln Potter and the introduction of Eli and the cartel/CIA storyline with Danny Trejo.
Season five wasn't great but did have probably the biggest moment of the entire show.
Season six was almost as weak as season three - they should have condensed five and six together, simply because Clay was around for way longer than he should have been.
Season seven was decent but the show was starting to get a bit tired. Had some of the best character performances in the entire show though.
Overall, an awesome show. Heismanberg has been watching the last three seasons just to have something to whinge about.

Sutter gets a little too crazy with the symbolism and Shakespeare references and his ego is all over it. He also seems a little obsessed with the male butt. I admittedly started watching season 6, my wife got us up to speed and the show comes on at a day and time when I can actually watch so I looked forward to watching it.
Like JE said, I thought some of the performances this season were good (the Juice/Jax scene in jail, Nero, etc) but the amount of killing and lack of police action was freaking laughable. I mean, full blown massacre at Diosa and the cops are out later that day and they're all chilling there with their kids and excrement 24 hours later? Right. Jax getting away with pretty much everything Scot-free? And...I thought Marx was the head of this giant criminal enterprise? They got taken down pretty quick. The Venus-Tig thing, the Jarry-Chibs thing, Gemma's crows killed, the manuscripts (which used to be the basis for the entire show) all felt like forced storylines, filler.

The way I look at it is that it's mindless entertainment. It is wildly unrealistic, kinda predictable, a large amount of characters lived way longer than they should of and whatever CGI was used was horrendous, but...I was entertained.

I agree with a lot of this, especially with what was said about Sutter/Shakespeare.
Had he followed his original plan and kept up with the Hamlet, it would have been a much stronger series.
Instead, he tried to make an inconsistent actor with a messy accent into Jesus Christ and it was hilarious. The final scene was so cheesy and preachy.

I was a big fan of the Wonder Years. Went looking for the entire series at the mall today, wasn't available.

Went looking for the entire series at the mall today, wasn't available.Seemingly the big issue was securing the rights to all the music from all 6 seasons from all the major labels. Apparently 96% of the music was retained. The music is such a huge part of the show it just wouldn't be right otherwise.

I saw a commercial recently for the full DVD release of The Wonder Years and, I don't know why, but I've been thinking that this is one of the best show of the last 30 years that no one ever seems to talk about.

Fat British comedy actor who became famous first for writing and starring in a not very good show called Gavin & Stacey, then for being a drunken B-list lady garden who spent more time falling out of nightclubs than actually working. As soon as he opens his mouth you know two things about him: one, that he was bullied at school, and two, if you'd been there you'd have put the boot in on him as well.

Sporting News – The legend of Wade Boggs and his beer-drinking exploits on cross country flights are the fodder for coutnless legends. The story goes that Boggs drank 64 beers on a road trip. That urban legend becomes the premise for the season premiere of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” in an episode titled “The Gang Beats Boggs.” Yes, the “Sunny” crew is out to beat Wade Boggs’ beer-drinking record and the Hall of Famer plays a role in the episode.I thought it was hilarious. It's Always Sunny at its finest.

Terry Brooks wrote some of my favorite fantasy books when I was a teen. The first 6-7 Shannara books plus the prequel are classics. He lost some steam after that, but his 'Magic Kingdom for Sale' books were pretty good as well. It's currently filming.

I'll get on to Flash and Arrow when I've finished Agents. I'll watch pretty much any superhero stuff.
Flash just started, it's on season 1, so you would probably want to start there, Arrow is on season 3. Although they are mostly separate entities, they do intersect at certain points. I think episode 6 or 8 of Flash had Arrow join up where they worked in tandem, and then the following day Flash was on Arrow to continue the storyline. Also, Flash started on Arrow as a kind of test to see if people would watch it.
Anyhow, it took about 1/2 to 3/4 of a season to figure out what works and doesn't work on Arrow and by and large it's basically the same crew that writes for Flash. Flash didn't start out with one hand tied, they learned from their mistakes. Both are pretty good shows, I like Arrow a good bit more because it's similar to Batman Begins whereas Flash is lighter fare.
They would probably be a bit better on network or major cable with a bigger budget and the CW has certain mandates for the teeny boppers, but still it's really good stuff. I think you would really like it if you like super hero stories.

Arrow
Gotham
Flash
Agents of SHIELD
SHIELD is worth it if you like superhero stuff. It's campy though, so it's certainly better if you're already a fan of Joss Whedon's style.
Arrow is the best of the bunch because it's really Batman: Origins with a different costume.

I want to say Flash is better than Gotham and in many respects it is. On second thought, Flash is a bit better, sometimes Gotham is a bit of a slog. That said, Arrow is much better than either of them imo. I haven't seen AOS

I think what makes Gotham better to me is that there is better acting, I like the cast members more, and the jokes are better executed. Flash is a bit campy. That's not a bad thing (I clearly enjoy camp) but it detracts a bit from the overall show (at least partially because I compare it directly against Arrow).
AoS is a different animal. The first thing you have to accept is the campiness. The next is that you have to like the Colson character. After that, you have to give it time to grow because it took a while to find its legs (more than Arrow). There's no question it's a Joss Whedon show.

Finale of AHS was pretty epic, even though the last act was a little LOST-ish.
I wasn't a fan. I thought the show tailed off at the end. it started strong with the twisty and dandy storylines, but it never seemed to go anywhere, the show didn't really have a point.
the last act was close to unwatchable for me.

That's what makes the shows relatively close. The acting and production is much better on Gotham because it's budget is much bigger, although J.P.S is freaking annoying.
I have noticed the villains of Flash are not nearly as good as Gotham and Arrow. There's more money spent on CGI in Flash than either of the 2 other shows, I should think that probably eats into the other parts of the budget, like hiring better actors. The main characters on Flash are fine they play the camp part well. I don't disagree with you point of view, I like the 2 main characters of Gotham more than anybody on Flash but don't feel the show lives up to it's promise/premise as well, if that makes sense.
I like Joss Whedon because I love Firefly but I don't think I will watch AOS at this point in time, I have too much on my plate.

That's very fair. Gotham certainly doesn't live up to much. Then again, its original premise was to be "Smallville" for Batman, which I think would have been much better.
The thing about Flash is that I think the ridiculousness of the villains is intentional. It feels like the camp is too. Maybe it's meant to make a clear distinction between it and Arrow to avoid the "It's the same show with different actors" thing?
I hear you with the overloaded plate thing. There are a number of shows I'd give a shot to if I had the spare time.

Arrow is the best of the bunch because it's really Batman: Origins with a different costume.
I am going to add Banshee to this list because the show is a comic book show without the comic book. This season is freaking amazing so far, the episode tonight "Tribal" episode 5 of season 3 was amazing television. It was something like Raid, The Real Judge Dredd crossed with the Taking of Pelham 123.
I know some like Heismanberg take tv so serious they're anus puckers up if they watched a show where you don't have to watch logically, then this isn't for you. Anyhow, it's getting to be amazingly fun tv. If you like comics, sex, violence, this show is the funbags. It's better than Arrow and I really like that show.

Yeah that's pretty much everyone's chief complaint, the show would be much better with a bigger budget on a network that didn't cater to teeny boppers. The good news is Arrow moves away from the CW show model as Season 1 progresses. It gets better and better, I suppose the writers figure it out. You will like Season 2 much more, other than Laurel.
I just started watching Arrow and am really enjoying it. Might give Banshee a go next.
You will not have the above problem discussing Banshee ever, lol. Well if you're cool with the fact that not all the bad guys get shot when they buy the farm. hahaha

Isn't she supposed to be like 15 now this season?
Still. She's a freaking annoying cuntrag. For the past 2-3 seasons, she's been like Dana was on Homeland and Skyler for most of Breaking Bad.
Honestly I don't know her age, except the fact that I don't like that storyline at all.
I just looked it up it said she's 14.....ugh.
Post by: Ornstein on February 09, 2015, 05:33:00 PM
I like Arrow but it does veer into The Young And The Restless territory at times.
They start to distance away from that nonsense as the show progresses.

The latest Arrow-related rumor is that John Diggle may actually be John Stewart. John Stewart is the not-white version of Green Lantern. It's being actively discussed behind the scenes, but a definite decision hasn't been made yet. I'm in favor of it. I don't particularly like the "this show has no powers" stance. It's a series based on a comic book. If you can't wrap your head around superpowers, don't watch.
They have brought the Flash into the show and then you have Slade that has super powers as well, and they even touched upon Vinnie Jones as being bullet proof.

The Flash was just to set up another show. Slade got his "powers" from a "miracle potion." Supposedly Vinnie Jones isn't actually bulletproof and that there is an explanation (metal plates under the skin).
It's dumb. There is a sort of attitude of "the non-comics fans are going to want a real-world reason for the heightened abilities." The problem with that is: they're watching a show about a dude who shows up at gunfights with a bow and arrow and he never gets shot. It's a comic book show, just embrace it and move forward.
One other factor is there is a fear of cheesiness. Cheesy FX is seen as the primary reason for the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern flop. I haven't seen it so I can't speak on that.

I would be highly against this to be honest. A green lantern tv show would be incredibly hard to do and would already take away from the main focus of the show which is the green arrow. Why have a more popular hero like green lantern play second fiddle to the green arrow?
John diggle doesn't need to be John Stewart, they've already done a really good job developing him as an original character to the point where he actually appears in comics now.

So Jon Stewart is retiring from the Daily Show at the end of the year. End of an era for sure.
Wish he would have held on a little longer. Losing him and Colbert in a year freaking blows. Not going to be replaced easily.

There are funny women. Just not funny female stand up comedians which is how the macro view of comedy generally exists.
In general though, humor is not a skill women have to develop socially or culturally. Men are funnier than women because they have to be.

I think women can be very funny, I just do not find women stand up comedians to be very funny. The ones I like are really raunchy, for instance I think Lisa Lampanelli's stand up is pretty good. Many of the people I talk to are of this general opinion as well. I honestly don't know what it is about women stand up's.

Man you're just seeing this now? It came out during 9/11. It has to be the single best mini-series ever produced. Richard Winters (Damien Lewis, Brody) is one of those truly special people that came out of that war, it's a shame many of the people the show portrayed died since it debuted.

My favorite mini-series of all time (though almost 30 years older, Shogun is still up there). My wife thought she was cool buying me the collectors box set for christmas a few years ago. She was so happy that I was happy I didn't have the heart to tell her it was bluray. I still do not have a blueray player. One of these days I'll buy one just to watch this damn thing.

The Raid and The Raid 2 are miles ahead of what this is trying to be. Both of those films also have complete amateurs in major roles and they are better actors than that flamingly gay Asian that is in Banshee.

It's pretty much got everything, action, some of the best fight scenes on any medium, lots of naked broads, and funny dialogue. The show started off somewhat slow, episode 3 made me love the show. To describe it, it's basically an adult graphic novel type of show. It takes a ridiculous premise and runs with it. Anyway, it really is the most fun of any show on TV, this season, season 3 has been basically a thrill ride every episode. It's not to be confused with Deadwood or Breaking Bad it's not a serious show.

Don't watch with the kids, it's a little too over the top unless they're older. It's a Cinemax show, it's no holds barred. Women seem to love the show, which is weird to me as I would think it's really a guys show, so you can watch with the wife if she likes that sort of thing.
You should really like Justified. Like most of the shows we watch, Arrow, Banshee, Justified, what have you, it takes a bit for the writers to figure it out, but when they do, they are a real treat to watch. The dialogue in Justified is a lot of fun.

It's basically an R rated version of many of the shows you like, I can't accurately give a good comparison because it's really unique, I have told 10-15+ people to watch it, of those that did, the only person that didn't say," holy excrement is it a lot of fun", is on this board. Hannibal, another show I really push, is 50/50 at best, probably worse.
Justified is a TV version of a Elmore Leonard novel, great dialogue and the acting is superb from the top down. It doesn't have nearly as much action but it doesn't need to.

There are a few very mild spoilers and it is long. Episode 9 of season 3 was last night it has been one of the most enjoyable seasons of a TV show I have ever watched. This review is from last year, but it's the first time I read it. Oddly enough it compares it to Arrow, Sparticus, Justified amongst other shows, like I have done previously:
http://www.soundonsight.org/how-banshee-became-one-of-televisions-best-series/ (http://www.soundonsight.org/how-banshee-became-one-of-televisions-best-series/)
Here is the first and last paragraphs:
Quote
Opening remarks
It’s not even February and, already, 2014 is shaping up to be a massive year for television. True Detective announced itself as the year’s first new stand-out series. Against all odds, Dan Harmon and Community returned and are putting together a respectable comeback season. FX’s fantastic and hard-working Justified CONTINUES to solidify its place among the greats of the past decade. And Girls‘ unique blend of comedy and drama is once again pushing the narrative boundaries of the half-hour series in its third season.
One series, though, is leading the charge at the beginning of the year. The most unlikely of heroes, Cinemax’s Banshee, in just a matter of three weeks, has matured into something truly special – something a lot of TV writers refer to as “appointment viewing” when describing other series. With limited experience dabbling in co-produced original PROGRAMMING, Cinemax released Banshee – its first solo endeavor – this time last year. Created by Jonathan Tropper and David Schickler, the series follows an ex-con who is on a mission to take back the life he once led as a conman (this, of course, includes the woman he was partnered and romantically involved with). When he arrives in the town of Banshee, achieving that goal ends up being a little more difficult than expected. In a scattershot series of events, the man winds up taking the identity of the new, INCOMING(http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png) (http://www.jetoffensive.com/#) sheriff of Banshee, Lucas Hood, who ends up being killed by thugs in the first episode.
The pilot, in all honesty, didn’t impress me because of how much it felt like it was trying to impress me (there’s a semi-truck sequence that still makes me laugh when I think about it). This is a very common experience when it comes to pilots. So I ended up dropping Banshee in favor of the myriad other mid-season newcomers that plague critics’ nights in January each year. After returning to the series a few weeks later during an evening off, I was completely taken aback by how wrong my impressions wound up being. As it finished up its first season, Banshee became less of a guilty pleasure and more of an underdog that I could unashamedly root for. Now, in its sophomore season and behind Greg Yaitanes, it’s making my mouth use muscles I didn’t know it had in order to form the grin that occupies my face the entire time I’m watching a new episode. Public outcry is now a necessity. Why aren’t more people talking about Banshee?, I asked in last week’s review. In the unfortunately likely event that people just don’t know about it, I’m here to explain just some of the aspects of Banshee that might convince you to give it a chance. It’s all the more appropriate that this article appears after the third episode of the current season, because it was the third episode of its first season that made me reevaluate it. Again, this isn’t just a fun series you can sit down and unwind with (although, it certainly is that, too). For my money, Banshee is outclassing every single PROGRAM on television at the moment and sets the bar incredibly high for the rest of 2014.
RE: Underlined- It was the 3rd episode of season 1 that really made me go all in.

Closing remarks
The more I watch television, the more I worry that I’m becoming cynical. There are times when I’m following over 30 series week-to-week (I get out, don’t worry), so it’s easy to build up what I’d like to call an “Impress Me Wall.” The Impress Me Wall unfairly puts shows in a position where they have to immediately stand out to earn the nod of approval. Why this is so counter-intuitive is because it puts the viewer in a passive role. The viewing experience is done from a detached perspective in which its up to the series to bridge that gap and connect to the person watching it. The right way to watch things is by being an active viewer – to tune in to what a show is trying to do, to view it on that basis and wavelength and to judge it based on the criteria it sets up for itself. I sat down to Banshee‘s pilot with my Impress Me Wall all the way up and fortified. That, initially, was my mistake (“This isn’t the next Breaking Bad. Next.”). It might be asking too much of viewers to do all of the work all of the time, but if everyone sat down with Impress Me Walls up, too many things would get overlooked. If everyone had walked away from Banshee after one episode, no one would have seen it grow into what it is now – a series that looks up at an Impress Me Wall with a excrement-eating grin and proceeds to tear it down, brick-by-brick, with its bare fists.
I wanted to highlight this comment of the review and didn't last night, the most important take:
Quote
Why being “fun” television matters in 2014
Banshee also fulfills the often undervalued quality of being “fun.” Thankfully, in recent years, the negative connotation applied to that word regarding TV series has diminished and diminished. It used to be that shows were either serious or fun. Rarely would something step into the center of that Venn diagram. Now, critics are finding and championing “fun” series, like Orphan Black and Arrow. It helps that those series are just as intelligent and well-produced as your average “prestige” drama, but the shift in critical praise is welcome and noteworthy nonetheless. Banshee is the poster child for that series that is both objectively good – high and stylized production values, storytelling that is taken seriously, compelling and complicated characters – and uniformly entertaining. It packs an emotional wallop while being so viscerally engaging that you’re bound to realize your jaw just dropped on the floor. It gives you moments in which you have personal stakes because it gives you characters you can genuinely root for or against. I don’t want to take anything away from another series, but just as an example: as I was watching Masters of Sex play out its first season a few months ago, I thought something like “Yes, this is very good television, there’s no arguing that. But do I really enjoy this?” That’s the easiest question to answer when it comes to Banshee, because during every second – from cold open to teaser – the answer is an emphatic yes.

Since the 90's (arguably longer) it's a channel known primarily for soft core porn. Mind you this was a good thing prior to the evolution of the internet, but as a brand now it is completely irrelevant.
If Banshee was on HBO or Showtime it would probably be a big hit. There are still a lot of folks out there that hate watching movie or TV shows on the computer. The current leaps and strides in wifi streaming technology could change that sooner rather than later.

At the end of the day, Banshee's biggest problem is Cinemax. Unless you just get every channel there is, how many people specifically pay for Cinemax?

If Banshee was on a more popular pay cable venue, like HBO or Showtime, I imagine it would be a huge hit. The problem is it probably would never have been green lit, well maybe Starz. I got a great deal on Cinemax so I am lucky.
To borrow Heismanberg's criticism, he's more of a Breaking Bad, TV needs to be serious kind of guy, I get that. He said it's cheap/cheesy, and it is certainly is/was that. However, it's evolved significantly beyond that criticism, far enough where that label is basically laughable at this point. Sure, it was cheap feeling, it's set in a backwards country town and I think that's the charm to a degree. If it had a huge budget I am not sure how much of that charm it would retain as it's supposed to have that pulp/comic book feel. Maybe it's a good thing it's on Cinemax.
I don't mind watching tv shows via torrent. That's how I started watching Arrow, although yes it's not ideal.

What is Banshee even about? I keep thinking of the superhero.
If you care to read the review I posted above, it's long, you will understand it much better. Also Sepinwall, one of the better TV critics, like the guy above, didn't exactly like Banshee all that much at first, now they both love it. Sepinwall has a bunch of reviews, the first one was meh and the follow ups were totally different. By the end of the third episode you will love it.
Anyway here is a very basic synopsis from the first episode, it's way more involved;

By ex con they mean an elite thief, former assassin/special forces operative.

So I was watching a couple of episodes of Arrow last night, and then one started with "Previously on Arrow and The Flash" before proceeding to show me things that had been happening on The Flash. The whole series crossover thing is annoying, especially if it comes without warning. Am I supposed to have been watching the two shows alongside each other? Am I supposed to know at what point I start switching between the two?
It's the middle of season 1 of Flash. I think episode 7 or 8 where the Flash is in Arrow and Arrow in Flash. You do not have to watch one to get the other. The 2 episodes are linked but not very heavily. You don't have to watch Flash but they crossover with the shows for obvious ratings bumps.

Flash certainly isn't as good as Arrow, but it picked up after the first few episodes. It's significantly more nerdy than Arrow though and less serious in tone.

Banshee just finished up what has been it's best season by far, season 3. I have read 10 or 15 reviews of tv critics and they all love the show for the very same reason I have stated, it's so damn fun/exhilarating to watch. Some were meh on it at first, they didn't know where it was going after episode 1-2 of season 1, but ep.3 made up their minds by making them say, "who cares, this is good stuff." It has gotten way better,the actors/storyline, action sequences and dialogue have all gotten better.
I read one where the critic (entertainment weekly) just picked it up episode 3 of season 3, which was a nutty episode even by Banshee standards, and basically said, "what have I been missing?". Anyhow, if you like Arrow or Flash, or any # of action oriented shows, I can help but think you will end up loving Banshee.

'Banshee' Season Finale: Why This Is TV's Best Action Show
The best action series on TV ends its third season Friday night, as Banshee shoots, kicks, punches, and slashes its way to a highly satisfying finale. How this Cinemax show continues to be the best-filmed B-movie week after week is by now a matter of some astonishment. It’s a show that comes on as mindless fun, but it actually has a lot of things on its mind...............................
Sepinwall:
Quote
Cinemax’s “Banshee” concluded its third — and unquestionably best — season tonight with a whole lot of violence, mystery and big emotion that’s characterized the pulp thriller from the start. It’s not that season 3 did anything appreciably different from the first two, but rather a matter of the execution going up a notch, with more elaborate fight scenes (including an episode that was wall-to-wall action as the Banshee police precinct came under siege), more colorful villains, and more dire emotional stakes.http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/banshee-co-creator-on-season-3-there-have-to-be-severe-consequences (http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/banshee-co-creator-on-season-3-there-have-to-be-severe-consequences)
Quote
As a drama, "Banshee" is preposterous. It is ludicrous. It regularly defies laws of both plausibility and physics, and there's usually at least one moment per episode where I have to pause the action because I can't stop laughing at how ridiculous it all is.
And that is why I've come to love it.
"Banshee" is a show that should have no business working at all, let alone returning for an incredibly strong third season Friday night at 10 on Cinemax(*). At first glance, the premise — ex-con assumes the identity of a small-town Pennsylvania sheriff — feels extremely limited, like something better-suited to a straight-to-Netflix movie than an ongoing cable drama, even on HBO's pulpier sister channel. The amount of mayhem visited on this small burg in the middle of Amish country, and the colorful nature of the people perpetrating said mayhem, makes the place often seem a closer approximation of Gotham City than the show airing Monday nights on FOX.

Here is another review that I scrubbed for any big spoilers but this guy was meh on the show at first: Click the link if you're interested in how he got interested in the show, it has big season 3 spoilers though......

Quote
It was this crazy-awesome fight scene that finally got me to give Banshee a serious test drive on the evening of January 23. Earlier in the day, the TV critics I follow who’ve long championed the drama—and who had seen “A Fixer Of Sorts” in advance—were buzzing about the sequence’s inspired filmmaking and outrageous savagery on Twitter. My curiosity was piqued. What can I say? I’m a geek for outrageous savag— er, I mean, inspired filmmaking!
Until this moment, my impression of Banshee had been shaped by chunks of three episodes that I happened to see by total accident over the past two years. Aside from some hot and heavy humping and a curious Christian character who didn’t seem all that Christian (I have a weakness for morally murky men of faith), Banshee didn’t strike me as all that remarkable. But the tweeting intrigued me. Maybe I was missing something. Maybe Banshee had gotten better. I decided to clear my mental browser of its Banshee history and engage with an open mind.
When you watch a show for the first time, you’re hyper-attuned to how it’s trying to introduce itself and impress you. This is even more the case when you jump into a series in medias res, because you’re working hard to figure out just what the heck is going on. This puts Banshee in a good position to impress, because every episode—at least the ones I watched this season—seems hellbent on engaging the audience with equal energy: This is heightened reality pulp fiction that wears its choices on its sleeve, that entertains with ostentatious storytelling as much as extreme story beats.
But it’s not all flash and gash: Banshee attends to the inner lives of its people. It grounds everything by doing this; even its most show-stopping setpieces reveal character.
“A Fixer Of Sorts” was indeed a very good episode of Banshee. Clay Burton (Matthew Rauch), the man in the bow tie, vs. Nola (Odette Annable) might not have even been the best part of it. The story was an important one for the show’s main protagonist, an ex-con on the run from the bad men for whom he used to work. He hides in plain sight in Banshee, Pennsylvania, home to his former lover and partner in crime, where he assumes the name and job of the town’s sheriff, Lucas Hood. He’s played by Anthony Starr, and I openly covet his steel, his emotional availability, and his meticulously groomed stubble-beard........................
“A Fixer Of Sorts” got me watching Banshee, and I haven’t stopped since. I’m not ready to review it. I should watch the first two seasons first. But I am ready to declare myself a fan, thanks in large part to one truly phenomenal episode that ranks among the best hours of TV so far this year—it’s not “A Fixer Of Sorts”—and a handful of outstanding individual sequences. They include…

Hahaha could be true.
Well it's original programming is quite good. I love Banshee obviously and I think it's the single most entertaining show on tv at the moment.
There's also, The Knick, which was quite an interesting and very good show by Soderbergh. It's completely different than Banshee though and might turn people off because it depicts surgery in 1900 hospitals, some of it is pretty gruesome. The lead, Clive Owen was excellent and I wouldn't be surprised if he garnered some Emmy consideration.
Then there's Strike Back which is military Banshee, though not nearly as good.
I think Cinemax wants to become HBO lite with its original programming. It's getting a lot better.

For some reason I wasn't a big fan of Flash this week but really liked Arrow. Arrow was being dragged down by Laurel and Thea lately, they were getting really annoying. To be honest they totally killed off the wrong sister. The actress that plays Sarah was way way better. imo
Flash is hit or miss to me, it's too campy kid like for me sometimes, like it's meant for a 5 year old and I don't really like that professor, I never did.

It was good to finally see the payoff with Wells. I was surprised they pushed into the timeline play already though, but otherwise they'd have to drop off Cisco.
Laurel has long been dragging on Arrow. I agree that Sarah should be the one who lived. My son and I always ask "Why the long face Laurel?" I don't have a problem with Thea though. They're setting both up for bigger hero roles so I'll wait to see how that plays out.

I love Top Gear but it has gone a little stale, and by all accounts Clarkson has wanted out for a little while. He has certainly done his best to get himself sacked over the last few years, and you can't really expect to keep your job when you assault a colleague.
In America they'd fire the producer and the show would go on.

Rumor is they're targeting Alan Partridge as a host replacement
You know Alan Partridge is a character and that that was a send up, right?
Leading candidates at the moment are Chris Evans (the British radio and TV presenter, not Captain America) and Jodie Kidd, but I expect no decisions will be taken for a little while as the BBC reviews what it wants the next incarnation of the show to look like. There's a very good chance that May and Hammond will leave as well because all of their contracts expire next week; the BBC's best chance IMO is not to try and replace them, but to revamp the whole format completely.

If anyone cares, Black Sails which had an ok 1st season (it started meh and got better as it progressed but was nothing special), was excellent in it's 2nd season. It was night and day better. Unfortunately, you need to see the 1st season to get many of the story lines.

watched like the 1st 6 episodes of rectify so far. I think its moving a bit slow but I like the setup so far.
It's definitely slow burn. It's only going to be 3 seasons and I believe the entire series is set over a couple of weeks, so that's why it's paced that way.
The finale of the first season is one of the best episodes of TV I can remember.

Awesome. Glad I waited to watch that before I'd watched the last episode of Arrow (which I freaking love). I was always a bit suspicious of the whole DC thing because frankly Superman is the crappiest of all the superheroes, but I'm a big fan of what they're doing right now.

I am not trying to bag on you but you still watched that? I stopped after episode 2-3 it was way too outlandish even for me. There are still some great shows for you to catch up on. I wouldn't worry about this. Besides Banshee, the best show on tv at the moment, there's a ton of stuff.

I stuck with it. The show had some great moments, and some truly horrific excrement happened. They wrapped nicely without knowing they were getting cancelled, so there is that, but the story line they were setting up was going to be potentially epic. Hopefully someone else picks up the show, or they at least give said story line the movie treatment.

Hey I'm with you I enjoyed it at times. But I thought the first half of this season kinda sucked without Carroll. But Theo turned into a great bad guy. I think that him going rogue would have been awesome, but how would any of the other characters even been in the show anymore?
Btw Mark returning to stab Mike right as he and Max made up was the most callable event in the entire series.

Totally agree about the Mark thing, and the show was guilty of some pretty predictable moments, but KB was a great protagonist and carried the show. Seeing him go rogue to take down that Illuminati like ring of serial killers would have been nice.

You should check out Sopranos. I hear that's pretty good.That's the one show I've watched from beginning to end while it was on.
For years I didn't get home from work until almost 10 and on Sundays I'd watch football. Now that I get home an hour earlier I have kids and the volume has to be low. Shows require a certain amount of dedication I can rarely give them. Especially with no DVR.

Soprano's is the single most over rated show in the history of TV. It's good but I tried to re watch an episode or two and just couldn't.You have to admit, until they killed off Jackie Jr. and Ralphie, the show was stellar.
Then, they went into Tony's stupid dreams, the Johnny Cakes excrement, and AJ's depression bullshit and the show went off a cliff.

Put it this way the first 2 seasons we used to go to the neighbors house to watch, after the 3rd season I said, "this show isn't good enough to do that any longer" and we stopped. They played Deadwood Season 1 after the Soprano's season3 I think, and always thought and always will, that it was far and away the better show. To me that's still the finest TV show ever made, but I am probably in the minority.Although, most people that watch it think Deadwood is in the top 3-5 ever, I am pretty sure.
Incidentally, you should definitely put the following HBO shows on you watch list, if you haven't seen them. I think your wife would like them as well, Deadwood, The Wire and Band of Brothers. I am not sure if you have seen any of those yet but you need to.

OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES
"The Americans" (FX)
"The Leftovers" (HBO)
"Better Call Saul" (AMC)
"Mad Men" (AMC)
"Justified" (FX)
"Rectify" (Sundance)
"Orange Is The New Black" (Netflix)
This one I was at least able to quickly narrow down to a top seven — albeit one lacking "The Knick," "Boardwalk Empire," "Banshee," "Game of Thrones," "Manhattan" and a number of other award-worthy dramas — before ultimately bumping "Orange" season 2 off the list at the last moment. "Leftovers" is my favorite of the group, but between recency bias (its last episode aired in early September) and the show's overall divisiveness, I'm not expecting it to make much of an Emmy showing, alas.

That's an impressive amount you have seen. My pizza stopped watching OITNB too. She said there was too much lesbian sex this season.
I watched all of Rectify, Justified, The Leftovers, and Better Call Saul while they aired. Caught up on Mad Men with Netflix and then finished the last two seasons while it aired.
OITNB is funny sometimes (and I don't care about the lesbian sex), but the main character is the worst and some of the storylines are just complete excrement. I didn't like it enough to keep watching. My pizza still watches it and some shitty show on Lifetime called Unreal. I got her to watch Breaking Bad finally.

It's inconsistent and every episode felt like a risk, because you'll either get:

My watches Unreal. I caught a couple episodes with her and it was pretty funny. It's a fake behind the scenes look a Bachelor type show.

My wife primarily watches Caught on Camera, Housewives and Latin soaps, so take it with a grain of salt.

Wasn't really sold on it until the first two episodes of season 2. I think it's been a lot better about still having a very deliberate pace but moving forward with the story just a bit quicker.

The third episode had some really fucked up stuff in it. The heavy drug use was already a little surprising for USA, but then the two or three scenes with Tyrell in the latest episode totally raised the bar. I didn't think they could get away with that.
Tyrell could be a top notch villain.

Yeah USA is usually a notch above the CW in campiness/teeny bopper excrement. It's high time they developed a real show. Real in the respect, it's a real drama and very good so far.
I'm way behind on Suits, but I really liked the first two seasons. I don't know if it turned to excrement or not though.

It has gotten worse that's for sure and I really liked that show, now it's watch but do other things while it's on kind of show. They weakened Harvey a little too much and gayified team Harvey and Mike. It's still entertaining and all but good, nah. They also made Lewis freaking ridiculous and of course made him a centerpiece.
Edit: I think the writers got to big for their britches. They should stop with the soap opera excrement like JE said. Also the writing with the Rachel and Mike dialog is appalling. That storyline really reminds me of the George Lucas excrement from the new Star Wars movies, the Natalie Portman love interest garbage.

My roommate is binge watching Hell on Wheels and is obsessed with the show. I think a big reason why is because he's never seen Deadwood. I partially watched the first couple of seasons of HoW and it was definitely entertaining but after that it got ridiculous and terrible, and even at its peak still couldn't hold a handle to Deadwood.

HOW is ok, but Deadwood is a top 5 show ever. It's my favorite bar none. Personally, it's the most rewatchable show but I am probably too biased there. I have watched it more times than I care to admit.

(Source) – It looks like a new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm might finally be on the way, with Larry David teasing HBO with a notebook full of ideas for it. HBO president Michael Lombardo recalled how David discussed the show with him at the premiere of his new Broadway play Fish in the Dark a few months back. “[He told me,] ‘Do you know what this is? This is the next season notebook’,” he said at the TCA press tour. It seems after spending time on Broadway David might be ready to return to TV, and there are certainly plenty of foibles in 2015 culture for him to send-up. “I don’t think it’s out of his system,” Lombardo added. “When he has something to say, he will come back. “I certainly see this as a continuing dialogue with him – a long one, but a continuing one.” David has he isn’t done with Curb before. Last year Lombardo asked him if he should “emotionally get Curb out of [his] head,” to which the Seinfeld creator replied: “No, no, no, no, no.”

here's an excerpt: BTW if you haven't seen Terriers, do so it's a fantastic show and only 13 episodes, as one and done's go it might be even better than Firefly:
Quote
On the other hand, the very fragmentation of the audience that inspired this particular gold rush has also earned renewals for shows like "The Americans," "Rectify," and "UnREAL" that would surely have been much shorter-lived under TV's old math. Unless AMC declines to renew "Halt and Catch Fire," the last Great Show to be canceled early in its run while its creator still had stories to tell would be... HBO's "Enlightened" two years ago? (I liked "The Bridge," which was more recent, but it never quite got to Great.) And even there, "Enlightened" lasted two seasons and ended in such a perfect place that future stories felt somewhat redundant. Even NBC was able to somehow give "Hannibal" three seasons, which will bring the creative team to the end of adapting "Red Dragon." We're closing in on the fifth anniversary of the premiere of one of FX's best series ever, the private eye drama "Terriers," which Landgraf canceled after only a year due to microscopic ratings; a while back, I asked him if he felt the show might have survived longer in these strange new atmospheric conditions, and while he said he didn't know for sure, the fact that it had become uncertain for him speaks to how much more nurturing an environment TV is at the moment.

There's always better series to watch, always, save for 4 or 5. It entertains people, I think sometimes in your judgement you miss that point.

Finished Strike Back. Fantastic fun despite being cliched and full of bad writing and acting. I won't lie, I'm glad they left the door open for more. If they do, it needs to be something different to Section 20.
It has a current season and if you like that you should love Banshee, it becomes better than Strike Back.

Mad Dogs looks promising.
Hand of God had too much god stuff in it for me, it was meh in my opinion.
Bosch was pretty good. Jason Gedrick was actually a good villain. There were some retarded parts, like the Capt/Bosch excrement, god was that awful, and his love interest for the season was meh.

I have mixed feelings on black people v white people jokes. On the one hand, it's lazy and tired. On the other, white people joke about white people excrement. It's just that the de facto standard for behavior and relevant issues pertain more often to white people. That's not to say they're not relevant to black people, Hispanics, etc as well, but white people do dictate the standard for cultural touchstones, making minority-centered comedy rather outsider.

Blindspot was awful? I heard from a friend it wasn't bad. Mind you, I wasn't touching it with a 10 foot pole regardless. I like S. Stapleton from Strike Back but a female version of Blacklist holds no interest to me. Blacklist itself is a total bore to me and I like James Spader.

It's hard to determine which was worse in Blindspot, the acting or the writing. It's really, truly awful, and I have a high level of tolerance for bad television.

I've only just started watching but it doesn't really feel like Gotham babies. It feels like the story of James Gordon with all the future batman people on the fringes of that. Only two episodes in so maybe I'm totally off.
Quantico had a LOST feel to it which I liked. Definitely going to watch that a bit more.

I agree totally, that said:
Normally I don't care if people don't watch great shows, it didn't hurt Justified as it got its full run but I do care with Terriers. That show was fantastic, it's basically the best 1 and done I have watched. I really think it's a better 1 season show than Firefly and everyone that's seen FF loves that show. I think you're one of like 4 people I know that's seen Terriers. Which is astounding for a show that was that fantastic. It's a shame, that show needed a 5 or 6 season run. If the quality continued it would have been a goat show, like Justified.
The funny thing with Terriers is, it wasn't a niche show like Hannibal. Hannibal to me is an awesome show, but I know it's not for everyone, I totally get that. Terriers, that show had something for everyone. Oh well........

I keep seeing people upset about new Star Trek. I've never watched any of the shows, so it's pretty funny to see them fly off the handle about it being on some CBS streaming platform and how it's damaging the brand. Almost as funny as the reaction when I say the last two Star Trek movies were the best and way better than Wrath of Khan.
I have to see the rest of the last one but the second to last Star Trek was pretty good. I was never a fan of that show. But overall I agree with you, they get all nerded up over nothing.

Really enjoying Code Black. It isn't anything special; the acting and writing are OK, and it doesn't have the wit and intelligence of something like House, but if you like medical dramas it's a decent successor to ER.

It's the swear filter, but I'm confused as to why it turns what Puck writes into the family alternative. I thought it was just supposed to filter what he reads.

You've never seen the first season? I would say the first season is critical to watching the current one. Most of the backstory would make no sense and you'd have no empathy for any of the current cast without at least season one. I can't fully remember season two, but I'm 90% certain that it was also critical to this season's storyline. Anything after that you can just skip--I did.

I watched the first 2 episodes. It's pretty good but oddly enough I find it difficult to watch a show about the AXIS powers splitting the US in 2 after WW2, it just doesn't feel right. It's also a slow burn, noir type of show. What type of shows do you like? There are probably a bunch you haven't seen yet that I would watch first if I was you, Fargo, Justified or Banshee.

Krysten Ritter, from Breaking Bad is excellent, especially if you can get past a haunted female super hero, lets face it , it's 99.9% male dominated. The villain, Kilgrave, is top notch both in lure and actions.
I have not found many flaws other than the fact it's a parallel world to DD, kind of too similar but it shouldn't ruin the enjoyment. There's also an annoying lesbian thing going on that's meh but so far it's not the lead so it's tolerable.
It's not action packed so don't go in expecting that, at least not so for first 4 1/2 episodes but other than that it's a really good story with top notch writing and acting.

Post by: insanity on November 22, 2015, 08:55:56 AM
Although I really enjoyed it, I don't think its a must watch. The acting of the main characters was great. I had no clue Ritter could play a serious role. Mike Colter showed some great range and David Tennant was absolutely amazing. His acting set the tone for the entire show. One minute you were scared of him because he was a complete sociopath, and then for a moment he makes you feel bad for him. That being said, noirs really aren't my thing, so I liked Daredevil alot more.

I'm not sure how something can not be considered a must watch when you binged 13 hours in 2 days. My life would have to be pretty pathetic to waste a couple of days on something that wasn't that good.
I love the MCU, so I'll watch anything Marvel. I really liked the show, great acting, good story, awesome character development, but I can see it being a show that some people don't like. Not because it's not good, but just because its not their cup of tea.

Jessica Jones is 13 episode = ~11 hours

Its almost 4 times longer. I honestly rarely watch TV. JJ was just a perfect storm situation where its a show I really wanted to watch that came out when I had nothing I needed to do.
Post by: insanity on November 22, 2015, 01:57:15 PM
Daredevil wasn't overtly connected besides the occasional reference so I wouldn't expect this to be either.
But DD was the first Netflix show. If there is going to be a Defenders show I figured that they would start connecting the characters now. Although I guess JJ sets up the Luke Cage series up nicely.

So when you said it's not must watch TV you really meant the equivalent of "there's not an Andrew Luck in this draft."
Haha yeah. It's not a 10/10 must watch show, it's not a Sherlock.
Its like comparing Inception to Interstellar. In my opinion both were great movies, but I can see why some people didn't like Interstellar. If Sci-Fi movies are your thing you're going to love it, but if you're more of an action fan, you probably don't need to see it.

I would have liked to have seen more references to season 1 of Daredevil in this. I get that it's trying to be it's own show but it does take place in Hell's Kitchen quite a bit and the character's don't seem to have even heard of a vigilante that took down the Kingpin. I really prefer these shows to not have a big connection to the cinematic universe though.
I have to imagine season 2 of daredevil will try to connect them more since DD has already been established

It's not your type of show. I don't see the big deal, move on. It's why there's both vanilla and chocolate. I don't have a good idea what you like or don't, so your tough to recommend stuff to, other than super hero shows.

As I get older I find I have a decreasing amount of patience for TV shows. One of the reasons I like shitty shows like Arrow and The Flash is that they're stupid, so I can switch my brain off. If a show is going to make me really concentrate while I watch it, it had better be freaking good - Mr Robot is a good example of that. I find it hard to maintain a consistent level of interest over ten or twelve episodes though.

I didn't say you should. It was pretty flimsy, I would completely understand why you might not wish to watch it. It was a disposable half hour.

Puck's boy Alan Sepinwall picked The Leftovers as the top TV show for the second consecutive year.
WTF does that dunce know............ oh yeah he loves Banshee as well, he knows the good stuff.

As a drama, "Banshee" is preposterous. It is ludicrous. It regularly defies laws of both plausibility and physics, and there's usually at least one moment per episode where I have to pause the action because I can't stop laughing at how ridiculous it all is.
And that is why I've come to love it.
"Banshee" is a show that should have no business working at all, let alone returning for an incredibly strong third season Friday night at 10 on Cinemax(*). At first glance, the premise — ex-con assumes the identity of a small-town Pennsylvania sheriff — feels extremely limited, like something better-suited to a straight-to-Netflix movie than an ongoing cable drama, even on HBO's pulpier sister channel. The amount of mayhem visited on this small burg in the middle of Amish country, and the colorful nature of the people perpetrating said mayhem, makes the place often seem a closer approximation of Gotham City than the show airing Monday nights on FOX.
But "Banshee" works because of its excesses — and also because it knows when it needs to be spare instead.

Banshee (Cinemax): When I saw all the acclaim Netflix’s Daredevil was getting for its fight scenes, I thought, “Have these people not seen Banshee?” From its bare-knuckle brawls to its elaborately choreographed shoot-em-ups, this wonderfully weird saga of crime in Pennsylvania Amish country was the year’s most action-packed show.

"Banshee" (Cinemax) :
Quote
Last week, I published my top 10 list of shows (http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/tv-top-10-of-2015-the-leftovers-fargo-mad-men-more) that aired this year. It was a damn fine list. I'm happy with every single show that's on it. But I was also very frustrated at all the shows I had to leave off. In Peak TV — as with the current state of the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot — 10 just doesn't seem like enough spots to recognize all the deserved greatness.
So I planned to do an honorable mentions list with 10 shows I wish I could have made room for on the original list, but the second that was done, I realized there were 5 other shows I'd be annoyed to not mention, and then 5 after that, and pretty soon the damn thing had ballooned to 25 — and even there, it was missing things.
Proof that great drama doesn't need to be highbrow, just executed to the best of its ambitions, the third season of the Cinemax pulp drama was a pleasurable stew of fight scenes (particularly the relentless and graphic battle between Nola and Burton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJMHd7-LL1k)), colorful villains, and unrelenting consequences. (My interview with "Banshee" co-creator Jonathan Tropper (http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/banshee-co-creator-on-season-3-there-have-to-be-severe-consequences).)

Just been bingeing on Arrow. In so many ways it's terrible, but Neal McDonough and John Constantine make it worth continuing.
There are certainly things about it that are just "I can't believe I watch this" bad, but it's still my second favorite show on TV behind Thrones.

I don't mean another strike. The one a few years ago established the "midseason finale", and it's stuck ever since. We get less episodes, and a huge break around the holidays every year now.

BTW Arrow has been terrible Season 3 on. I still watch it but I know it's not very good. I put the blame firmly on the writers, they're terrible. I still really like the characters but the story is largely crap.

Not yet. I'll get to it, but I don't have time at the moment for shows I've already started watching, never mind starting new ones.
The good thing, which I am certain you will love, the episodes, sans episode 1, are all 25-30 minutes long. They tell the story get to the point and they're done.
I watch the show every Saturday with the tongue, the episodes are On Demand a day early. Even he loves the show, it's more AoD than the 1st Evil Dead but it's a great mix. Fargo is clearly the best show on TV but man Ash vs. Evil Dead is by far the most entertaining and enjoyable to me. It's a lot of fun.
Edit: I am finding too many shows, and people that watch them for that matter, take themselves so serious that the ones that don't are refreshing.

It isn't just the writers. The action sequences are laughably poor.
I don't know that they're poor so much as cartoony--and that's probably a byproduct of whomever is doing the writing. Early on the series was "Christian Bale" Batman, now it's more "Adam West" Batman.
It feels like the Flash and Arrow shows switched identities.

Early on the series was "Christian Bale" Batman, now it's more "Adam West" Batman.There's that and there's also the fact that the first few seasons were mainly Oliver, Diggle and Laurel's sister doing the action scenes. They're all more than capable of making physical scenes look effortless, Oliver and Digg's especially. Now they have Laurel, Thea, the midget that was Thea's love interest or a host of actors doing action scenes they're woefully ill-equipped to perform. It's definitely the writers fault.

I agree very much with that. I was quite unsure about The Flash to start with but it has really improved as it has gone on, and I think they nail the comic book feel perfectly without getting cheesy. Wentworth Miller in particular does a great job of that.
BTW, did you know that the actors who play Oliver Queen and Ronnie/Firestorm are cousins?

Steven and Robbie Amell, yup. Robbie was actually on the CW first in the short-lived Tomorrow People (or something like that). My wife and oldest used to watch it.
As for Arrow, part of the problem for me is that I don't like the "kinder, gentler Oliver." I like him and Felicity being together, but the whole "I'm always going to smile and be nice" thing is irritating--especially mid-fight.
I'm curious to see the fallout from the fall finale though.

Finished season 2 of Rectify, watched all of the last season of It's Always Sunny during the blizzard and made a little progress on Jessica Jones.
Checked out Pirate Bay and they didn't have a 1080p torrent for the full last season of Justified and I can't be bothered to do it one episode at a time. I might catch up on the last season of Silicon Valley instead.

I've always liked Shameless, but am I the only one who thinks the shock value thing is getting kinda old? I feel like the show is constantly just trying to one-up itself, and I realize that's the whole point of the show, but it would be great if they changed it up a bit.
I freaking hate the Debbie storyline. Episode 2 wasn't that great.

We started watching that on Friday night. It was interesting. Glad to see Tommy (Billy Zane) working again.
Red Oaks is the best series I've watched on Amazon Prime.
It's a fun show. Zane isn't in it much.

I just think the show has run its course. It had a great run but last season was basically where it should have ended. And maybe even earlier.
With the exception of news shows and shows that derive their material from current events (Simpsons, South Park) no show should really last past 7 or 8 seasons and that's only on the extreme end.

I could see the younger generation not getting into it. What was ground breaking back then would seem cliched to new viewers.
Also, airing the premier after a football game was fine and all, but anyone that had their DVR set (me) got screwed out of the last 20 minutes, and they didn't bother replaying the premier before last night's episode. Poor planning on their part.
It's only going to be 6 episodes, so not much of a commitment for anyone on the fence in terms of watching it.

Started watched The 100 tonight on Netflix. It has great reviews, so I figured I'd check it out. It's not a terrible series, but it isn't very original so far.

Never seen The Flash. I'm not really a fan of any of those comic book shows or film adaptations.
I've seen a lot of them. They just aren't my thing. I liked Nolan's first two Batman films. The third was just okay.
Legion sounds like it could potentially be great though.

Hahahahaha I knew it...... You don't like Banshee and that's an adult comic book show.
Honestly the comic book shows are mostly mediocre but fun to watch. Although some of those CW shows are getting perilously close to being unwatchable.
The Netflix shows are the best of the bunch from both a production standpoint and the writing, other than the aforementioned Banshee which in my opinion is the most fun by far.
For instance season 3 has a scene where the protagonists rob an Army base that is among the single most innovative scenes I have ever seen both tv or the movies. I would bet you haven't seen it. I can guarantee you it's already being copied.
My pimping that show religiously is mostly to bust your balls but also because if you give it a chance is actually quite good. Nevertheless either way I figure I bother everyone so phuckibg much they would never watch it in a million years. Haha
Edit: to me all the Batman movies are pure trash other than Nolan' s first two. Yes I didn't like Burton nor the rest of those first Batman movies. Gotham on Fox is so phucking boring and I can't phucking stand Will Smith's beard, she totally sucks as an actress, plus all the baby villains make me yawn.

You and I usually like the same shows and movies. I gave Banshee a chance and just couldn't get into it. I also talk a lot of excrement about it to bust your balls. It just isn't for me.
The 100 is just something to fill the time before Better Call Saul and 11.22.63 start up next week. I've been re-watching random episodes of Twin Peaks and Breaking Bad. Netflix really is a waste of money for me at this point. I see everything interesting on the service way before it gets added.

The CW supes shows are a mixed bag. If you turn off your brain for the hour, they're decent--but you probably need to like comics to get into them. I loved the first couple of seasons of Arrow but it's starting to irritate me with the CW love stories. Flash is improving since it went darker. I'm actually enjoying Legends of Tomorrow more than both right now.
In fairness, I've yet to watch a Batman movie I didn't love. That includes the Keaton/Burton films and the Nolan trilogy. I skipped the non-Keaton Burton ones--what little I've seen hasn't made me regret that.

Anyone watching Black Sails? I stuck with it thru the first 3-4 mediocre or less episodes, and it's gotten better and better since. It's pretty damn good going into the 4th episode of season 3. Another show where it seems the writers figure out things and make them work well.
I don't have Starz, but I've heard good things about it lately. I've been really short on time lately, so I haven't been able to watch an absurd amount of TV like usual.
Right now I'm watching Better Call Saul, 11/22/63, Broad City, and doing my best to catch up on The Americans (which is amazing and I never really gave it a chance until recently).
My most anticipated new show for this year has to be Westworld on HBO. The final season of The Leftovers is what I'm looking forward more than anything though.

Yeah Fargo is over a year away or more.
I don't watch that much any longer either. There are just a ton of shows this year I have no interest in watching. Currently it's BCS and Black Sails. I haven't even watched Shameless and sort of stopped watching the CW shows unless I am really bored on a weekend night.
For all the great shows there are not many currently running. Next up is Game of Thrones.

Back in the day they did family TV on Friday nights and people watched shows like Full House with their families. So it's a lot of women who grew up on it who likely watch the new one with their families.

I agree that The Wonder Years was a terrific show, but it was the first show I could think of that fit your description (although perhaps a little unfair to call it corny).
We certainly got a lot of your shows though, and we produced more than our fair share of our own corny sitcoms, so I imagine there would have been the appetite.

I agree that The Wonder Years was a terrific show, but it was the first show I could think of that fit your description (although perhaps a little unfair to call it corny).
We certainly got a lot of your shows though, and we produced more than our fair share of our own corny sitcoms, so I imagine there would have been the appetite.
It wasn't a sitcom or corny. Nostalgic? Sure.
Full House was an aw shucks nothing too bad ever happens (aside from mom dying before the show started and setting it all in motion), and everything can be wrapped up in 30 minutes. We've had a lot of those. I'm not sure I've seen anything similar from your side of the pond.

The Wonder Years might be one of the best, well written shows made in that whole generation of television. Probably the best use of music for a tv show, too. It was a show, even though it was set 20 years earlier, almost anyone could identify with.

The first 3 or 4 episodes in season 1 were bleh but since, the show has gotten better and better every single episode, to the point where it's one of the better shows on tv. Season 3 was excellent much better than I expected it would be. You guys should give it a shot, I think you will like it.
I guess they had to set the show up in the first half of season 1 or just figured out how to write it or both but whatever they have done, they have made a fun/compelling show.

Arrow is hot garbage, I gave up mid season this year, the writers should be killed, the show freaking sucks after a promising start (seasons 1 and 2).

My friend told me that Banshee's finale was really good but the rest of the season was a rushed mess that he hated.

Haha Banshee, after the first couple of episodes they really figured it out and had an awesome show, season 3 of Banshee was probably the most fun I have ever had watching tv, it was that outrageously awesome. Season 4 for some reason they thought a serial killer story would be good (it wasn't) the last 2 episodes were great but the first 6 were not, oh well you may not like the show but it was a top 10 show for me, it was that much fun to watch every week. Every episode in season 1-2-3 felt like they were 10 minutes long, there wasn't a wasted second in them. I really have to applaud the writers, they took a campy, pulpy show and really made it great, except for the first 2 episodes of season 1 and the first 6 of season 4.
I watched the Leftovers and thought it very good, I watched Mr. Robot the first night it aired, it's very good even though I am not a huge fan of the Fight Club type thing. I haven't watched Nathan for You and Westward obviously hasn't started yet, the Principle show with Goggins looks pretty funny and Preacher is a decidedly weird derriere show that looks like it has potential, although for the first hour I had zero idea what the freak I was watching.

Random thoughts here:
Person of Interest is ok, I don't mind if it's going the way of the dodo, CBS, in it's infinite wisdom of being All CSI all the time, fucked up the show entirely, well the writing is still pretty good, they just didn't want PoI to continue.
Arrow is hot garbage, I gave up mid season this year, the writers should be killed, the show freaking sucks after a promising start (seasons 1 and 2).
Other than the main shows that we have threads for, GOT and the rest, there aren't many shows I watch any longer, they're all finished their runs, getting cancelled or have become excrement.
I disagree about Arrow. A couple of things were "WTF?" this season, but I liked where it ended up (mostly). I also think Flash and Legends of Tomorrow are good. I might even start watching Supergirl once it hits the CW (it was excrement on CBS--I only made it like 3 or 4 episodes in).
My only gripe with the DC TV universe is that it's separate from the movie universe--and Supergirl occurs in a different dimension from Arrow/Flash/Legends. They really should change that and bring them all together.

There are enough shows where I just said screw it and gave up. Compare Arrow to some of the darker more original stuff I have watched, Arrow just is not close, it's not even in the same stratosphere, for instance, Daredevil (although the end of season 2 with the hand crap leads a little to be desired), Jessica Jones and the best of all Banshee (I am serious here).
The CW and those writers should be killed, I wish that show was made on a pay cable network and it could be really good. Just trim some of the bullshit and you would have a great show. It's too fluffy and nonsensical now, I never watched All My Children and I don't want to start now even if there are super hero's in it.

I still watch Flash and it was much better than Arrow. The beginning and middle was just brutal. I am not trying to bag on your opinion either, the show just had a huge dip in quality.
Edit: I watched 1 or 2 episodes of Legends and not a second of Shield.

I don't take offense. People's opinions differ. Flash was okay throughout for me. I liked the game of trying to figure out who was behind each mask, and I liked where it left off. I'm interested to see what they do with it.
Arrow has been a bit rough, and part of the reason is the movie side. The Arrow team had big plans to use Suicide Squad on the show, but the studio made them stop (hence the Waller and Deadshot storylines). I still like the show though, apart from the Oliver/Felicity story. Oh, and where Laurel's story went.
Legends is a different animal altogether. You have to view it as a "misfits" hero show. We laugh every episode about how they're the "worst heroes ever" so if you're not into the humor of it, it's not really going to be appealing.
SHIELD I watch for two reasons: 1) I like Phil Coulson; 2) Chloe Bennett in spandex.

Legends is on Thursday, I have hockey every Thursday and hence I don't watch it. I can't really judge it other than the hawk girl is one of the worst actresses I have ever seen, I have no idea how she got casted for that roll, the rest are fine. It seemed ok but you can't judge a show based on an episode or two, there are plenty of shows that get really good after a down period or the writers figure out how to tell the story better, and the beginning episodes aren't nearly as good.

Everyone hated Horseteeth...I mean Hawkgirl.
Fortunately it seems the showrunners figured that out because she's no longer a full-time member of the cast.
I don't know if you (or anyone else) will watch it so I don't want to post spoilers, but season two is going to be dramatically different than the initial one.

The young people in my office were talking about how some TV shows nowadays have unrealistic settings, etc, so I introduced them to the likes of "Alf" and "Small Wonder" from the 80s. In retrospect, how crazy were tv shows from the 80s? Imagine trying to greenlight Alf now?
Alf would just be a cartoon.
I feel like those type of shows have just transitioned into adult cartoons mostly. I mean, American Dad is basically Alf sprinkled with CIA agent father.

Quarry just started and it looks great. They got the look and feel of the period pretty much spot on. It's about a Vietnam vet, that's unwelcome at home and is recruited to be a hitman in 1970's Memphis as a result.
It's written by a couple of writers for Heismanberg's favorite, Rectify. The entire season is directed by Greg Yaitanes from Banshee ( go Phuck yourselves that show was filmed fantastic). It's going to be similar to True Detective Season 1, in the respect to the same writers and director are in it from start to finish.
I watched the first episode, it took awhile to get going but once it did, it was really worth watching. Damon Herriman, Dewey Crowe from Justified, is in it and he's a totally different character. Jamie Hector, Marlo from the Wire and also in Bosch another good to great show, is also in it, amongst others.
Here's a review from the Washington Post, Sepinwall also liked it quite a bit.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/09/08/im-reviewing-30-fall-tv-shows-at-once-the-one-i-like-best-is-cinemaxs-quarry/
Quote
Nothing’s better for a TV critic than falling in love with a show that didn’t sound like much on paper. Cinemax’s lean and mean new eight-episode drama “Quarry,” based on Max Allan Collins’s crime novels, is about Mac Conway (“Prometheus’s” Logan Marshall-Green), a marine who comes home to Memphis from Vietnam in 1972 and finds little opportunity for a veteran of an unpopular war — so he reluctantly becomes a hired gun for an enigmatic crime boss who calls himself The Broker (Peter Mullan).
See? Describing “Quarry” only makes it sound like one more cable drama about a difficult man drawn into a world of despicable, murderous people. Created and written by Michael D. Fuller and Graham Gordy (with Greg Yaitanes as showrunner/director), “Quarry” instead comes to life as soon as you turn it on, with a heartbreaking sense of soul, a strong ear for dialogue and an array of supporting players (including “Justified’s” Damon Herriman) who lend the show an impressive degree of grit, gallows humor and suspense.
Marshall-Green, however, delivers a superb performance as the emotionally and mentally wounded Mac; he is matched scene for smoldering scene by Jodi Balfour, who plays his wife, Joni. Moreover, the show’s set direction and period details are impressively flawless, whether depicting the ’70s-era blues rock scene and riots over school busing, or in the small things, down to the pull tabs ripped off beer cans and the Scripps-Howard lighthouse logo on the front page of the Memphis Press-Scimitar.
“Quarry’s” knack for conveying moral ambiguity and its mastery of setting reminds me of another very good show that took forever to catch on; it was about a cancer-stricken chemistry teacher in Albuquerque who started cooking meth to make money. Don’t wait for the buzz that may or may not arrive — move “Quarry” to the top of your watch list now. Grade: A

Jean Claude Van Damme has a pilot show on amazon and it was pretty damn funny .
It makes fun of movies a la Tropic Thunder and he plays himself but he performs black ops while filming on location
Totally stupid premise but the humor is good .
This is pretty funny.
"I'm Jean Claude Van Damme, I used to be famous. You might remember me from my first feature film, Bloodsport. It's on TV all the time. Or you might remember me from Timecop . It's like Looper with Bruce Willis , but 100 times better "
While infiltrating a place a doppelganger(played by himself again lol) works security and he runs into him and tries to convince the guy he's him from the future to warn him to leave . He touches him. The guy says "well if you've seen Timecop you know two versions of the same people can't occupy the same space "
JCVD says "well in Looper , Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt touch all the time "
The guy says "if your me from the future you know which movie I think is better " JCVD says " Looper?"
That's wrong Timecop is way better .
He whispers "you have excellent taste in movies" then snaps his own neck .
At a restaurant
Guy says "holy excrement I thought you were retired. No movies coming out ? Not even on DVD?"
"I'm retired , not Nicholas Cage retired."
"I thought you were Nicholas Cage "
This show is insanely dumb but funny

The new season of AHS is really good so for.
Designated Survivor is also off to a promising start.
Finally got to both Designated Survivor episodes. It has been far better than expected. I can't imagine it lasts a long time (in terms of seasons) as once Kiefer guides the nation through its initial rebuild and punishes the terrorists responsible, the show will essentially have reached its end point.
I'd wager 3 seasons. But it's been an exceptional start for I show I only watched because I was hoping to see a little Jack Bauer back in Kiefers eyes.

I wasn't happy with the outcome, despite knowing what happened in the comics so I expected it. It just seems like the show likes to pick and choose what they are faithful to and what they aren't on a whim--and mostly for maximum shock value.
I was really unhappy with the way the scene was filmed. It was nothing but violence pr0n. I don't have a weak stomach, but that was gore for nothing more than gore's sake. It was cheap.
I was pretty pissed off at the shot of Rick on top of the camper too. I don't know if that was a panel in the comic, but that looked like a terrible rip-off from Jon Snow's death scene.
This show is barely trying anymore and if I weren't watching with my wife I would've checked out for good this week. I'm actually curious to see how many viewers it loses next week. I know there is a lot of disappointment being displayed on social media.

To be honest, I think this was the first time they tried in years. It was absolutely brutal to watch, and firmly cemented Negan as the best TV villian in recent history.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
I definitely disagree with you. I agree on the brutal to watch part, but Negan isn't a great villain to me. He's just a great example of how awful people would be post-apocalypse.
Riddler on Gotham is conniving. So is Cersei on GoT. Meg and Patty on The Leftovers are coldly calculating. Even The Governor was a better villain than Negan. Hell, Ramsey Bolton was a better sociopathic despot.
I've been likening Negan's group to pirates. They're just awful people who are content to be the most awful people on the planet. Others' lives and freedom mean nothing to them. It's not complicated, it's just depravity. I'm just not into the shock-and-awe this show keeps pushing. Honestly, I like Fear The Walking Dead a lot more because it's telling stories of how society falls apart and how people try to hold on. It's what TWD was early on and forgot how to do.

I prefer Fear by far. Its a far superior story that has little to do with zombies. They serve little more than as a metaphore.
I stopped thinking TWD would any more than shock and awe by the middle of the first season. I can count on one hand the number of character based episodes that worked.

2 very different shows. Nothing about TWD has ever been very complicated at all. Its a show based on an uber violent pulp comic book.

I don't disagree with any of that, I was just making the point that I don't think Negan is anywhere in the conversation of "best villains on TV in recent history." The best villains are complicated. Negan is about as simplistic as it gets.

I really liked the movie Shooter, so the first episode was not too much of a stretch to watch. The show has many similarities but is different enough to make it not be a total rehash. Anyway, it's another decent show that isn't appointment tv but good enough to dvr it and watch an episode or two in a row. It's good fun imo.
Post by: Heismanberg on December 01, 2016, 02:55:58 PM
A couple of shows that I find surprisingly ok are Shooter and Lethal Weapon. I honestly thought the new Lethal Weapon would suck balls but gave it a shot, it was pretty good. I always thought Damon Wayans was the funniest actor of the Wayans bunch which is mostly the reason I gave it that shot. Anyway, the dude playing Riggs is ok and the rest of the stuff is close enough to the movies to make it entertaining. They have a decent chemistry, the new Riggs and Murtagh.
Clayne Crawford is freaking awesome. He's great in Rectify.

His character in Rectify was so unlikeable at first, but as the show goes, he gets better and better.
He plays a complete poopchute of a character, but he's done such a great job with it that you have to feel bad for him.

Now, that's one of my favorite movies, but, as riveted as I was for certain parts doesn't take away from how lazy the show was at times. I didn't mind how it ended, I just think the show as a whole had a lot more potential it really didn't live up to. Still, I'm not mad. I like weird excrement.

If you get a chance to catch the first couple of episodes you will be hooked. Based on a couple of disillusioned Vietnam vets returning home to Memphis. Characters are brilliant the sets are like stepping back to the early 70's and the soundtrack is awesome! Y'all watch it now.

Sneaky Pete starring Giovanni Ribisi and Bryan Cranston sounds interesting.
The first episode was pretty good. Amazon puts out the pilots and based on the ratings and reviews will give the show a full order or not. So the pilot has been out for what seems like over a year or so. I think the full season comes out today.

Amazon has made some really good shows: Bosch (season 2 in particular is fantastic), Goliath, and Sneaky Pete. Most networks would be tripping over themselves to have that quality in their lineup.

BBT makes Goliath while the entire cast in Sneaky Pete is excellent.

If you find yourself stuck for something to watch, give Jones another go. I found it hard to get into for the first few episodes, but it does really pick up nicely and although it's very closely aligned with Daredevil there's nothing in Jones that requires you to have watched the other show. So far the same is true of Luke Cage as well.
I like that these shows are a little darker and thematically aimed at a more adult audience than most of the other MCU offerings.

Shows like 24 cause deeply offensive and unnecessary suspicion of everyday Muslims who then feel that suspicion on a daily basis.

TWD has become terrible. It's not really watchable 90% of the time and I keep tuning in anyway. Like you, I'm just trying to get to the end. I think it needs to end next season. Negan was a good villain for 5 minutes. I hated Sasha right up until the coffin scene. Coral finally had a badass scene. Rick is a hoo-ha, even when he's being tough.
They had a chance to redeem this slow burn bullshit season by finally showing a Carol and Morgan team-up, and instead they gave each of them like 30 seconds of screen time--only 5 of which was spent together...sitting. Then their nod to Glenn was a Maggie soliloquy to end the season.
The tiger saved the episode and only because of ridiculously contrived timing.

They could have spent next season with Negan captured like I read happens in the comic. And Rick's crew could go after that Alice the Goon looking bitch and her people.

Ugh, if Negan gets captured in the comics, rest assured it'll happen on the show. Probably as the midseason finale next season. Then they can slow burn their way to that, then slow burn his imprisonment. Maybe they'll at least show the backstory of how he became Negan. At least that might be interesting.
I read the show lost another 14% viewership after Glenn's fate. It's bleeding viewers. It's sad that the spinoff series is far better than the original.

Maggie has become excessively boring post-Glenn. excrement, practically everyone has. The only hope the show has relies on Carol and Morgan. Even Daryl sucks these days post-neutering.
The writers suck. One clear example is Dwight betraying Negan one minute, then showing up with him the next. The more I think about the finale and the season overall the more ticked off I get.

I was hoping the TV show would divert from the comic. Then the season premiere aired.
I like it. I don't think it's lesser actors, it's just lacking Jack Bauer. I didn't see the Jeremy Renner version, but I imagine comparing it to the Bourne movies without Jason Bourne. I like Carter a lot. He's not Jack, but no one is and I just accept that.
Maggie has become excessively boring post-Glenn. excrement, practically everyone has. The only hope the show has relies on Carol and Morgan. Even Daryl sucks these days post-neutering.
The writers suck. One clear example is Dwight betraying Negan one minute, then showing up with him the next. The more I think about the finale and the season overall the more ticked off I get.
Not hating on 24. I like Carter. The rest of the cast is boring me. Again, I am only 3 episodes in, so giving it a chance.
As far as TWD, Maggie is supposed to lose her excrement once she has the baby. They haven't even bothered with a fake baby bump yet, so who knows where that is going.
The entire Dwight thing was bullshit. It was the one really good story line they had going all season. Dwight's redemption could have brought some meaning. The only theory I have is he had no idea the other crew were going to turn, and he put his plans on hold. But when Hilltop and Kingdom showed up, why didn't he act?
Oh well, the tiger eating the saviors face was cool.

It gets a little better but it's nothing I would recommend you go out of your way to watch. It's something you watch on a tablet while you take a excrement. Finn Jones has to be the most boring super hero I have ever watched. It's definitely not awesome like Banshee.

i'm so tired of TV and cinema being dominated by nothing other than comic book excrement. there is nothing new anymore, it's just things based on comic books, and remakes of classics or movies that did well in the past 20-30 years where the idea/setting and fanbase is already there for them
Dredd is more deserving than most though. Garland wrote the movie that the character needed in order to wash away the taste of that Stallone abomination but it didn't make quite enough money to get a sequel, which is a crying shame. Given the nature of the original 2000AD stories, a TV show makes a whole load of sense.
There were so many awesome stories in that comic. Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, The ABC Warriors, Nemesis the Warlock, Slaine would all make for amazing movies or TV shows.

Did you ever read 2000AD? That movie was a freaking embarrassment to the source material. Stallone hated it, John Wagner (the creator of Dredd) hated it, the fans hated it and the critics hated it. I can bore you at great length how they ruined not only Dredd himself, but also the Angel gang and Rico.
Urban's Dredd was so far superior it's not even a conversation. If you haven't seen it you should, and then you can understand a bit more what Dredd is really about.

I'll be honest, I had no clue it was even based on any source material. By no means am I suggesting it was a high quality produced film, but it was one of my Dad's favorite movies to watch when I was growing up so I always loved it. It comes off as ultra cheesy so I get why hardcore fans might not like it.

I fully confess to being a total fanboy of pretty much everything 2000AD, but man that was such a bad film.
Seriously, watch the movie from a few years ago (just called Dredd). They got the feel of MC1 pretty much spot on; the characters are exactly right, with Karl Urban absolutely nailing JD and Olivia Thirlby doing a perfect job with Anderson; the violence and darkness perfectly reflect the original comic strip. The only criticism I have of that movie is that the Lawmaster just didn't quite have the presence that it should have done, and frankly if a fanboy's biggest complaint is that the design of a motorcycle doesn't quite ring true to the source material then you know they got it pretty spot on.

It's impossible to force anything on anyone. It is the best show ever on television, but I was hooked by the end of the first episode. You gave it a shot and it didn't grab you. I think you are missing out, but that's OK.
Just out of curiosity, did you watch the 1st season of Preacher? 2nd season is starting next month. Much better investment of time than Banshee, which I didn't hate, but couldn't finish the first season.

That's the thing: we're all different and we get different experiences from the same thing. But in today's world, you're either in agreement or you're wrong. It is what it is.
I never bothered with Preacher. The commercials didn't rope me in at all. Banshee I started watching because my wife wanted to, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have tried that either.

Penny Dreadful is really good but the best show on your list to watch is Justified. That is in my top 10 shows ever, probably in the top 5, it really is a ton of fun. It's nothing like Breaking Bad.

Hahaha, labyrinthine, that's a great word for it.
Honestly, like I said, the comic book shows and GoT are the only ones I'd watch if I lived alone. I do a lot of off-hours work and I have kids so spare time is minimal. I'd rather play video games or watch baseball and football before watching fiction, so I only watch what I absolutely know I'll enjoy.

I'm almost done with Penny Dreadful. We have one or two episodes left, we just haven't gotten around to them yet.
As for Justified, it's another show my wife wants to watch, and I've seen a lot of people on here rave about it, so I'm thinking I'll give it the same chance I did The Leftovers.

Yeah, we watched the first few episodes and I liked it enough to keep watching it with her. That was a while ago though, so we have to get back to it.
We used to watch Buffy, and Dushku played a pretty big role on it for a few years. You ever see her Maxim spread?

No, I never saw the Maxim spread but she's a dirty bird (not evil though) in Banshee so I can only imagine.

But she's also a Masshole. After breaking up with Rick Fox (that old-derriere idiot) she went back to school. She's a Hahvahd girl now.

Define "better".
2 completely different shows but in general the acting, writing and the photography/direction is better in BB than GOT. However, what is up to the beholder is how enjoyable one is versus the other. I don't think it's arguable which one is better using the standard measure. However, I can fully see that GOT is much more entertaining to many people. As far as better, I do think it's probably semantics.

Kind of my point. I'm sure it would be possible to make an argument that on some level Breaking Bad is better written, although as we have previously discussed I have my issues with that as well, but it is impossible to make a sensible argument that it's just plain "better". Personally I didn't especially enjoy Breaking Bad and I love Game Of Thrones (even if some of the lore does leave me a little confused at times), and I know I'm far from alone in that view.

I love both shows. To prove which is better, in my opinion, I will just throw out the Sand Snakes. BB never had a story line so poorly executed.

And yet I will make, and have made, an argument that Breaking Bad would have been improved significantly if it had been planned as a five season show from the outset. I found the pacing really inconsistent at times, and I gave up somewhere around the end of season three because I was bored silly - all the characters were cunts and I'd long since given up caring what happened to any of them. I did go back and finish it, and the last season was really good but completely rushed, but if it hadn't been driven by the vagaries of TV commissioning processes it would have been so much better.
For me, the best show ever made - and I'm the first to admit that it had patches where it went a bit flat, for reasons that are well known - was The West Wing. It's the only TV show I've ever rewatched, and I think I've seen it four times now in its entirety.

Never watched an episode of The West Wing, but I've definitely met a lot of people who've told me the same thing. I'm a little wary of watching it because I found The Newsroom to be so preachy and self-congratulatory. I agree with most of Sorkin's politics but that show was liberal masturbation.

I'm a flaming pinko and total Sorkin apologist, and even I struggled with The Newsroom at times - I didn't get past the first couple of episodes of the second season. Don't let that stop you from watching The West Wing, it's just perfect TV for the first four seasons. After that it gets a bit patchier, but it's still better than most other things you'll watch. Seriously, give it a try. If you're a raging hardcore frothing at the mouth right winger you're going to have a bad time, but otherwise it's just terrific writing even if you don't agree with every idea, sentiment and storyline.

That's interesting. I couldn't get past the first area in the first game. I hated it. I've played a few hours worth of the second one but other games have been higher in priority to me. I'll get back to it eventually as well as the third (which I have heard is amazing).
I like the books though. I've read the first few and the rest are in my todo pile. Given this news, I'll probably float them higher in priority now.

I got a patch online that made it the original Polish version with subtitles, and lots of naked girls. Made it my primary mission to bang every last one of them.
The second one bored me. Every other mission was to kill 20 of this and 20 of that. They changed combat mechanics for the worse, and you had to use your potions before fights. Got to the final area and didn't bother finishing. Thinks that's when I got invited to The Secret World beta.

If Bruce Wayne wasn't so punchable, this would be a better show. He's a bit better, but not much. He might be the tallest actor on the show now though.

I was not expecting the end of the finale. Thought they would hold off 1 more season. Was a nice surprise.
My primary complaint with the show is that none of the main characters ever seem to die. Too many to list, but Butch took a bullet right between the eyes, and he's in the hospital? When Riddler was about to execute Penguin, there was no tension in the scene, because even if he did, Ivy would just bring him back again.

that's the problem with doing a show based on character origins. You know they all survive.
But the storytelling and character development this season is surprisingly not bad.
Earlier seasons were terrible...in fact, I didn't bother watching last season. Fish Mooney is a garbage character.

When Fish 'died' again I thought Penguin's reaction was odd. Then I remembered, the next day, she had developed mind control powers. That's how little I cared about the character.
The last 2 seasons, Mad City and Heros Rise, were pretty tight.
Just glad they have kept Tigress around. She's right there with Lee on the hotness scale. She should get plenty of airtime as Catwoman's mentor/partner next season.

King hates Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining.It seems more recently he has warmed up. He says The Shining was a beautiful film, with his only problem being that Jack starts out too batshit crazy. And now he likes Children of the Corn, but dislikes the sequals.

I distinctly remember, again, 20 years ago, him destroying:

Post by: guinness77 on June 13, 2017, 09:38:57 PM
This mini-series came about largely because of Stephen King's dissatisfaction with the Stanley Kubrick film. King had always been quite publicly opposed to the changes that Kubrick had made to his novel but to re-obtain the rights from the Kubrick estate, he had to publicly recant his opinions. (According to imdb).

Was the movie supposed to be good? I thought it was meh at bestNo, the movie was not particularly good. I think Snyder did a sloppy job at best. It was like if you edited the LOTR trilogy down to a single movie, but only kept the boring parts.
It was well cast, but said cast wasn't given much to work with. Major deviations from the source material at times. But it looked really nice.
Depending how much time they could devote to backstory through flashbacks, you could probably squeeze 3 seasons out of it, and with Lindelof at the helm, it could end up being a masterpiece.

The wife made me watch American Horror Story tonight and I feel like my intelligence was insulted by it. Just unrealistic, contrived drivel. I almost want to watch the next episode to see if it's worse.
I watched it too. I feel like I sat thru the Trumpster Fire thread for an hour.

Better Call Saul, Fargo, Sneaky Pete, The Americans, Master of None, and The Leftovers were all better than Game of Thrones this year.
I expect Stranger Things, You're the Worst, and Mr. Robot to be better as well.
The writing for GoT just isn't that great. It is still very exciting and I love it, but there's a difference between best and favorite.

The first three were certainly written better.
GOT simply has the best production quality of any TV show, it had the budget of some summer blockbusters, so it better. Spectacle doesn't make it a better show than some on your list though, agreed.

I still enjoy every episode, though.
Post by: Laxin on September 06, 2017, 09:43:00 AM
On a side note, I just started Better Call Saul and its pretty great so far (about 7 episodes deep). I watched the first episode when it originally aired, and it didn't really draw me in... But Im glad I gave it another chance.
Post by: SixFeetDeep on September 06, 2017, 10:12:16 AM
I think Game of Thrones is kind of held to a higher standard than most, if not all TV shows. Its plot is probably the most in depth and intricate of any TV show that I've seen. I agree its had its fair share of plot holes, but it's still #1 for me. I don't mind that it has become a little more predictable. I think that's a product of the plot moving a long and ultimately coming to an end. "Plot armor" has to exist at this point... it didn't in the first half of the series because we didn't know who the main characters were. Now we do...

Plot holes are always going to exist when you're converting 1000 page books into hour long TV episodes. The show has clearly suffered since they have had to write their own material. Still better than pretty much everything else out there though.

Also, people keep trying to compare GoT to ASOIAF. They're two different stories/universes, this has been stated by D&D and GRRM. People that have read the books need to stop comparing the two when it doesn't go the way they want.
BUT THEY RUINED STANNIS

I actually agree with that one, he had an anticlimactic resolution. It sounds like they made his character really unlikable compared to the books. I still liked him though.
From what I've read they butchered Sansa's storyline worse.

My god Stannis was way worse. Sansa's story in the book is a convoluted mess. The book assholes are a bunch of freaking nerds that couldn't get laid in a morgue and only speak to the opposite sex to give them their credit card numbers. They are freaking useless idiots if you ask me.
They freak up every single GOT discussion with their annoying whining. It's 2 different mediums, D&D are trying to finish up someone elses work, it's not theirs. They're not as good of writers as GRRM, not even close.
That said, he doesn't have a time crunch, he can stick his rooster in chocolate fudge and masturbate to midget porn till his heart's content. D&D have all the production worries, time crunch etc etc in addition to writing a coherent show. So the writing isn't an apples to apples comparison and the book nazis should be lit on fire like the real nazis did to books. My god I hate them.

Welcome aboard! You're going to be pissed when you get to the last episode and have to suffer withdrawal for the next two years.
----------
The best vs. favorite argument is funny. Both are subjective. "Best" is closer to objective because there are standards you can point to (writing, production, acting, etc.) but the Emmys proves almost every year that what some people consider "the best" is counter to what the rest think.
I will say that even as someone who is not a TV aficionado, GoT is not the "best" show on TV, though it's certainly my favorite (and the "best" show of those I watch). The production and acting are fantastic, but the writing and sometimes the story can be quite poor.

Did Sneaky Pete/Giovanni Ribisi get nominated for anything? No, right?
Probably not because it was on Amazon. The Emmy's favor the big networks and cable channels. Amazon is a really small player at the moment. If you have Amazon, give Bosch a shot, that show had a pretty good season 1, seasons 2 and 3 it became progressively better. It's one of the better shows on tv.

I heard they intentionally made the show's main accent different forms of British to appeal to American audiences. Does it lose some of its cache to someone like you who has that accent? To me if they all had American accents I don't think it would be as good.

I watched one of those behind the scenes and every single actor had a difffernt accent/voice from their character on the show. I'm talking 7-8 actors.

Doesn't make a difference to me; British accents make sense as Westeros is basically Britain.

Correct. King's Landing is obviously London, and Winterfell is probably something like Leeds.

I just though about how awful it would be if everyone had American accents. Tyrian speaking with Dinklage's native North Jersey accent would be weird.

But the second half was only saved by Lyndsey. I'm usually on board with Gretchen's descent into despair, but it just felt disjointed (except the Skype). Why is Crack Lyndsey no different than standard Lyndsey? Oh, and Edgar's Jimmy impression was funny.

even as a fan of the show this annoys me too. i don't think it's particularly 'intelligent' per se, just very creative and very enjoyable because of it. there are loads of idiots who watch the show and that is fine, nothing should be taken about a person if they watch rick and morty lol
I've been trying to tell these guys for a couple of years now.
i do find it to be the best show on TV right now but i can't even say it's my favorite show. that title goes to an anime called 'attack on titan'. it may be my favorite TV show ever

We're on season 2. We'll probably finish it sometime before the end of the year. We only manage one or two episodes a weekend and we just got back to it a few weeks ago. I definitely see what you meant when you said it's like watching a comic book.

Yes yes yes, the whole Banshee thing has been done to death and there is far more important TV news, like the fact that I just discovered they're making another series of Strike Back. No Scott and Stonebridge this time though, they're apparently starting over with new characters.
I've been interested in watching Strike Back since I first saw the subway ads for it. It was good?
Also Job is my favorite character, followed by Sugar.
My wife feels the same. I like Sugar more than Job, but I like the cops the most.

It was brilliant, pure popcorn TV. Undercover elite military unit takes on increasingly nasty terrorists. It's basically all gunfights and sex. Laughably bad script at times, but it's of no consequence. Perfect TV to shut off your brain and watch things go boom.

I know I am one of maybe 3 people on this board that still watch Dead related shows, but the 2 hour season finale of Fear was great. The entire season was great.
Next week back to the boring comic book version.
I thought it was good too. The storyline from Fear is much better than TWD.
Alycia Debnam-Carey is nice to look at.

BBC series on Netflix called Line Of Duty. Pretty good if you like British police procedurals, and like most British shows it's not very long (season 1 is five episodes, subsequent season go to six). Worth a look if you're after something new to watch.
So a show about British cops doing paperwork?

The wife has officially given up on AHS. Last night's horrendous episode was her last straw. I have to admit, at this point the characters are so awful, the writing is even worse, the actors are terrible, the story line so contrived, everything just so unbelievable...I almost want to watch it for the awful factor. This is the worst all-around show I've ever seen in my life. Small Wonder with Vicki the robot had better acting and a more believable storyline than this.

If you guys are looking for a horror series to watch, we just finished up the first season of Channel Zero. It's brilliant.
It's on SyFy, so I thought it would be pretty corny but it's some of the best horror I've watched all year (TV or film).

Apart from movies like Sharknado, I think SyFy's programming is pretty underrated. It used to be awful, but their programming improved when they rebranded to SyFy. It's not HBO, but it's not as bad as it used to be.

I honestly don't actively watch anything on Syfy, but my kid does, so I accidentally see a lot.
Actually, I accidentally see a lot in my home because everyone watches different things. The best thing that's ever happened to me TV-wise is device streaming. Most of the time I just pull out a laptop or tablet and turn on a game so I don't have to watch whatever is on TV.

I loved the main characters in this show, their parts were written and acted superbly.
That said, I play hockey with a guy that is agent in charge of a domestic terrorist task force in NY, and he said the old FBI was 100% just like that. So I guess it was realistic on their part. He also confirmed that the BSU is hardly involved with serial murderers any longer, they have them primarily working on terrorist details. Neither here nor there.
There was so much I loved about the show that the parts that annoyed me were more of a speed bump kind of thing.
I just didn't realize they used the real Ed Kemper.....lmao

So on a whim I decided to watch the German show Dark, and once I was able to get over the dubbing, it actually was a really good show. Pretty confusing and hard to keep track of at points, but it was surprisingly good.
If you can get over dubbing the Italian mob series Gomorrah is fantastic.

Have you seen Peaky Blinders? I'm just starting season 2 now, it's awesome. BBC series about a gang in Birmingham just after WW1. If you can get past the stupid accents, and they'll probably be less of an issue for you than they are for me, it's brilliantly written and acted. Quite violent at times, might not be one to watch with the missus.

Luke Cage season 2 is really good. The villains are top notch and they finally nailed Iron Fist this time around. Thomas Jones even has a pretty integral role to the show and is in it quite a bit. Overall not as good as Daredevil season 1 for me, but it's on the same level as Jessica Jones.

Against all my better judgement I agreed to watch The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina. I expected a kids' show and it very much wasn't; it was really dark, quite funny and surprisingly good.
I started watching Riverdale with my pizza. I enjoy it. Same show runners and writers as Sabrina.
Mindless TV with some surprisingly good writing for CW.

I don't know where this belongs, but has anyone seen Bird Box on Netflix? I just saw the trailer yesterday and while I'm not a horror fan, it caught my attention.
I did, and while it wasn't a bad movie overall, I probably wouldn't recommend it.
Great, scary, interesting premise...but the ending fell so flat for me. Bullock and Malkovich are good in it, as are the child actors.
Actually if you're generally not a horror fan (I'm a huge horror junkie), and if you enjoy Sandra Bullock, then perhaps I would say give it a shot.
I'd generously give it a C grade. Again, it's because I personally thought the ending was lame. Also, 54-yr-old Bullock is pregnant, so have a strong suspension of disbelief.

It's entertaining and a pretty original take on an overdone trope. It's well acted and fun. I think it's a tad too long and doesn't really answer all the questions it asks.
It isn't ground-breaking or a must see but it's fine. If you have a few hours and are looking to be entertained, watch it.

We’ve been watching Shameless on Netflix lately and we’re already a few episodes into season 3. Addicting show although you have to suspend reality sometimes and the constant shock value is getting too commonplace for me. I have to say the Steve/Jimmy storyline with the Brazilians just doesn’t need to be in the show, there are enough storylines as it is. I also love the Lip/Ian relationship. They are very believable brothers. Everyone on this show constantly gets laid, even Frank, so kudos to them. I have a friend who completely reminds me of Frank. Like 100%. It’s scary.
Shameless was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect it to be that entertaining. Frank is such an poopchute that it's awesome.

Shameless was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect it to be that entertaining. Frank is such an poopchute that it's awesome.Imagine someone just like him? Same vernacular, same mannerisms, (almost) same depravity? I don’t really talk to him anymore but he was infamous for stealing joints and roaches from people, used to buy 99cent tall-boys and drink them while he drove, did drugs and drink with reckless abandon, he ciphoned gas from my car once because he had no money and he needed to drive to “pick up.” He’d go to someone’s house, bring like 3 or 4 excrement beers, and leave with a 6-pack, sometimes more. I can go on. He is Frank.

The way Frank moved into it was awesome too. Lip is my favorite character but Kevin is a close second. The attempted suicide scene, which I saw coming from a mile away, was still pretty jarring and tough to watch.

Nothing shocked me in that show, the horrible excrement with Karen. Ugh
The thirteen year sister girl looking to get laid was a bit much.

Release Date: Fall 2019
Cast: John Goodman, Danny McBride, Adam Devine, Edi Patterson, Cassidy Freeman, Greg Alan Williams
Writer: Danny McBride
Directors: David Gordon Green, Jody Hill
The folks behind “Eastbound and Down” and “Vice Principals” have their sights set on an even more contentious point of Southern pride than baseball and education. Danny McBride, Jody Hill, and David Gordon Green’s “The Righteous Gemstones” tells the story of “a world famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work — all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” John Goodman plays Eli Gemstone, the Patriarch of the family and a world-famous minister who runs a weekly television program and a tight ship around the house. Danny McBride is his eldest son, Jesse, who plans to be his father’s heir while expanding his church for more modern followers, while the rest of the Gemstones deviate from their leader’s wishes only as far as they can.
Adam Devine is Adam DeMamp from Workaholics. This show sounds amazing

So far Fox have managed to not make a complete mess of The Passage. They've changed a handful of things from the book, but nothing that so far has made a material difference.
Hmm, that's good to hear.
I read the book a few years ago and was very impressed. The commercials for the TV adaptation looked extraordinarily "meh" to me. It being on a major network also raised red flags. I'll have to give it a shot.

We’re into season 6 of Shameless. I’m beginning to see what puck (and random internet bitching) was talking about. I’m really not into much of these storylines anymore. The writing is getting lazy, and if Mickey is getting written out of this show, then I’m borderline out. The Ian/Mickey dynamic was what made this show for awhile. I still like Lip but I feel like a lot of what’s going on with him is fluff and rather unrealistic. I think Emmy Rossum is hot as freak but I’m sick of Fiona. Sick of her decision making, sick of all the clingy bullshit. Hopefully her dependence on men ends though that’s doubtful. She’s been a lost character since the coke/Liam incident.
it gets worse.

well i watched it and i can't say i'm not a fan. i've actually never watched an episode of Game of Thrones as it just sounded like a show that relied on outlandish events, excessive nudity, and sadism to garner attention from viewership and i'm not quite interested in that sort of stuff from a TV show. started watching the last kingdom because i heard it had a lot less of all of that, and i thought it was good.

That's not really true, it also requires an uber-nerd style obsession with overly complicated storylines. Mostly I like the funbags and violence though, so a show that's Game Of Thrones without those sounds awful.

Both awesome, and common to both age groups. Looney Tunes is timeless. I also grew up on Tiny Toons, with their summer vacation straight to VHS movie being one of my favorites as a kid, and Tiny Tunes All-Stars being one of my favorite Sega Genesis games.
I have a brother five years older so i was handed down old He-Man vhs's and stuff like that. I loved Vultron and no one at school knew what the freak I was talking about.
Batman The Animated Series, X-Men and SpiderMan were what got me into those respective series and actually introduced me to the comics. All three were great.

Just finished off Cobra Kai season 2, good but not where season 1 was. I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who might be watching but the season finale was a bit unrealistic. They renewed for season 3 but I honestly don’t know where they’re going with this at this point.
On a side note, I have to start watching Barry.

The Righteous Gemstones
Release Date: Fall 2019
Cast: John Goodman, Danny McBride, Adam Devine, Edi Patterson, Cassidy Freeman, Greg Alan Williams
Writer: Danny McBride
Directors: David Gordon Green, Jody Hill
The folks behind “Eastbound and Down” and “Vice Principals” have their sights set on an even more contentious point of Southern pride than baseball and education. Danny McBride, Jody Hill, and David Gordon Green’s “The Righteous Gemstones” tells the story of “a world famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work — all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” John Goodman plays Eli Gemstone, the Patriarch of the family and a world-famous minister who runs a weekly television program and a tight ship around the house. Danny McBride is his eldest son, Jesse, who plans to be his father’s heir while expanding his church for more modern followers, while the rest of the Gemstones deviate from their leader’s wishes only as far as they can.
Adam Devine is Adam DeMamp from Workaholics. This show sounds amazing

It was worth watching and already has a second season filming.
Urban, the other non superhero lead and Starr were great in this and the season ended on a pretty good cliff hanger.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. That's got to be the next wave once the excitement of so many services slows down.
Though honestly, I can't see how Netflix stays in business, and eventually I figure Hulu will just be wrapped into Disney+ because anything non-Disney will be pulled back to its own distribution house.
Really, I wouldn't be shocked if in 5 years everyone is back complaining about spending so much money a month on cable to get 350 channels of foreign TV.

Netflix has really started to make most of their best programming. Maybe they'll have a few more years of (international) growth before they inevitably lose viewers.
They'll almost certainly have to partner with one of the other giants, or become more of a niche product. But as of right now Disney is really the only serious contender for the short term, I think

They're trying to bring back the serial Western in Star Wars packaging. I hope they find their footing, because that sounds like a pretty fun premise, but nothing you've said is wrong.
That last episode was the classic Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven homage and they botched it thoroughly. The best parts of those movies are the team-building (shoutout to Rick & Morty) and how the leads interact with each other - they just stopped at the Magnificent Two and decided Gina Carano's acting could carry the episode from there.
Rashomon episode should be coming along soon. Except it will be just from one character's perspective.

My brain exploded during episode 3 of BoB. The COD level design is a literal rip from this show. I’ve played that level so many times (3-4 different releases of the game, regarded as one of the best levels) that my brain malfunctioned after seeing the same exact scene in non-CGI.

It was cool talking to my Dad, who loved BoB, and hearing about locations where his Dad served in France and Belgium and where those locations were covered in the show. That added another level to this for me.
Bastogne episodes haunted me. Watching those guys freeze to death all winter, knowing at any moment they’re quite likely to have a mortar shell blow their foxhole to smithereens... really spoke to me. Some damn great acting and directing to make it really come to life.
My only gripe is that the series peaked more towards the middle, but I actually prefer than then the build up to a big ending that usually comes off cliche. The scene where they discovered the Holocaust camp was unnerving. I’m going to watch this again pretty soon.

Is the Unicorn worth watching? It looks shitty and is on CBS so it's probably shitty, but I've never seen anything bad with Walton Goggins in it which is the sole reason I'm even contemplating it

Devs is just over halfway finished and it can still fizzle out (obviously) but it has been outstanding so far, much like everything else Alex Garland has done.
And I'd say that FX is at the top, for sure. Fargo is coming back soon too.

It's amazing. It's a complete headfuck and one of the very few shows that makes me immediately want to watch the episode again because it's so nuanced. As Heis says it's only five episodes in so it could still go wrong, but I'll bet it doesn't.

This is the honest truth, I turned it off after an episode and a half. It reminded me of working in a psych hospital. Each person they interviewed was nuttier than the next. It was a real life loony bin. I did the opposite, I couldn't watch, lol I have seen enough.

HBO is making a bunch of its best shows, movies and documentaries free starting on Friday

KEY POINTS
AT&T WarnerMedia’s HBO said on Thursday that, beginning Friday, it will offer a bunch of TV shows and movies for free.
The promotion will last about a month the company said.
It’s one way the AT&T’s WarnerMedia may attract people to HBO Max, which launches in May for $14.99 a month.

AT&T WarnerMedia’s HBO will offer a bunch of TV shows and movies for free beginning on Friday. Customers will be able to access them on any platform where HBO Now and HBO Go are supported, which includes iPhones, Android devices, smart TVs, streaming boxes (like Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV) and more.
HBO said the initial plan is to provide the free content for a month. It’s one way WarnerMedia may attract fans to its upcoming HBO Max service, which launches in May for $14.99 a month and will include 10,000 hours of content including TV shows, movies and original content. It will also help keep people who are stuck indoors during the coronavirus lockdown a bit more entertained.
Cable providers can also provide access through HBO on-demand on cable boxes, a company spokesperson told CNBC. HBO won’t require any sort of login through the apps, so people don’t need to enter in a username, password or email.
HBO Now costs $14.99 a month and provides access to all of HBO’s content for people who don’t already pay for it. HBO Go is a way for people who subscribe to HBO on their TVs to access the content on their phones. The free content will be available through either app.
On Friday, the following free shows will be available through HBO Now and HBO Go: “Ballers,” “Barry,” “Silicon Valley,” “Six Feed Under,” “The Sopranos,” “Succession,” “True Blood,” Veep,” “The Wire.”
It will also offer documentaries such as “The Apollo,” “The Case Against Adnan Syed,” “Elvis Presley: The Searcher,” “The Inventor,” “Jane Fonda in Five Acts,” “I Love you, Now Die,” “McMillion$,” “True Justice, “United Skates” and “We Are the Dream.”
HBO will include about 20 Warner Brothers movies including “Isn’t it Romatic?,” “The Lego Movie 2,” “Smallfoot” and “Pokemon Detective Pikachu.”

Devs is either going to be spectacularly brilliant or thoroughly disappointing. Appropriately binary.
**********SPOILERS************
So somewhere in between, more toward the positive side. It felt a little more familiar than I hoped for; a little bit of San Junipero, a little bit of Source Code. But it was still a satisfying ending to an excellent series.

Locke and Key was far from perfect, but quite fun. Like The Haunting Of Hill House meets Riverdale - gets quite baggy in the middle and there's some not entirely necessary teen drama, but it's a fun show to watch with the missus.
The comic was really good and not nearly as teen drama focused.

I am not watching this excrement.
By the time it's made everyone will have long since forgotten and/or given up caring about this excrement. It feels like it was a brief moment in time that's already in the rear view mirror, I don't see any point in trying to wring anything else out of it.

I like his new show “Hollywood” on Netflix, but everything else Ryan Murphy does is just freaking awful or freaking annoying. Like when he tried to bully the Foo Fighters into appearing or licensing their music to Glee and Dave Grohl told him to pee off.

Trying to rank my top five series of all-time and it's nearly impossible. Top 10 is not so tough to list out, but it's hard to stack rank them.
It's hard to use two spots on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but they belong.
Justified, The Leftovers, Deadwood, Rectify, Fargo, The Wire, Mr. Robot, Twin Peaks
Assuming you're talking about series with continuous story arcs, in no particular order except for the first:
The West Wing
The X Files
The Wire
House
Peaky Blinders
Honourable mentions for ER, True Detective and Sons Of Anarchy which were all brilliant at points but had periods where they weren't so great. Justified doesn't make the list because I stopped early in season 5 and never got back to it, but if the last two seasons are as good as the first 4 it will probably find its way into my top 5.
The one thing that the top 5 all have in common is that I can happily watch any of them again.

AMC picked up Gangs of London so I'm hoping they show it in the fall.
The second season isn't supposed to come out until 2022 because Gareth Evans has other projects, so there's plenty of time to catch up.

Before. 5 or 6 seasons in it started becoming a show I was watching because I'd already spent so much time watching it, and I enjoyed 8 more than most seemed to precisely because they rushed it through and put it to bed. I know exactly how Benioff & Weiss were feeling.

Dany's arc was awful and it ruined the entire series for me.
There are some classic battle scenes that I can watch again and again, but man what garbage writing for the final eight episodes.
And this:
Season 8 ruined that whole show. I can't even watch the good seasons anymore because I know what's coming.
Also, the ending makes Hodor so much worse.
Post by: Heismanberg on June 25, 2020, 08:49:57 PM
ive only finished the first season of peaky blinders and had to do it with subtitles on the entire time, and i don't think thatll change when i end up watching the rest of the show
It’s why I haven’t finished it
I have to be in the right mood to pay complete attention to it and the required subtitles

Assuming you're talking about series with continuous story arcs, in no particular order except for the first:Don't know how I forgot Devs from this list but it needs to be on it.
The West Wing
The X Files
The Wire
House
Peaky Blinders
Honourable mentions for ER, True Detective and Sons Of Anarchy which were all brilliant at points but had periods where they weren't so great. Justified doesn't make the list because I stopped early in season 5 and never got back to it, but if the last two seasons are as good as the first 4 it will probably find its way into my top 5.
The one thing that the top 5 all have in common is that I can happily watch any of them again.

TLDW: A group of misfit mutants/freaks/robots function as a more or less incompetent version of the X Men in the DC universe.
It originally started out on the DC Universe app but is now on HBO Max as well. Brandon Fraiser is freaking hilarious and Timothy Dalton has a great role as smarter, possibly more psychotic version of Professor X.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's not a contingency plan in place. Martin's made jokes about his health before, and that franchise is too much money to let die without him.
I mean Robert Jordan passed on the wheel of time to Brandon Sanderson. Of course he was given a terminal diagnosis so he did have time to make better arrangements.

I find child-pageants to be weird as excrement to begin with. South Park's criticism was on point.
As much as Kids was over-dramatized, there's a bit of a difference. One is designed to show that the kids aren't alright so to speak, this is literally jerkoff fodder for sexual deviants.

wow big if true. the consensus was that it wasn't as good as hill house, but now i'm going to definitely check it out
It didn't have a typical horror ending but I liked the performances more in this one than Hill House, at least for the adult actors.

The last season felt very small to me. Season 3 was so epic and then 4 was "Oh no, we're stuck in a cave!" and "The Adventures of Bobbie doing whatever-the-freak." Maybe with a terminus in sight the story will be a little more focused.

The first episode is really fucked up. The thing I don't like is it's based on a comedy of errors, without giving anything away. If you can get over that part it creates a lot of tension and such.
Cranston is very good at picking and choosing his parts so I will give this plenty of leeway. If I suspend my disbelief over the series of errors than it's really good. If you can't then you're not going to like it much. Basically watch the first episode and see if you can tolerate some suspension of belief. It's kind of like what you had to do at the beginning of Breaking Bad, only just a bit more.

Acting is terrible. Tone is all over the place. Everyone gets these ridiculous-looking, Boss Nass goiter necks from Captain Trips. Whoopi Goldberg has five seconds as Mother Abigail and it's awful. Constant flash forwards/backwards. The Stranger by Billy Joel is Flagg's theme music. They dragged poor JK Simmons in for one scene to read Stu the Yeats poem during his escape and then off himself (James Marsden does this little stand-at-attention that was my first out loud laugh). Society falls apart off-screen over the course of two or three scenes with just ham-fisted narration by coughing radio hosts/President.
The whole thing just has this really amateurish TV movie quality.

Hate to hear that because Josh Boone is a huge Stephen King fan and he's adapting The Talisman next. I was hoping he'd get this (mostly) right.
The kid that plays Harold Lauder was horrible in the first It remake, so it's not surprisingly to hear that the acting sucks.
I am interested to see what Nat Wolff and Jovan Adepo do with their roles. Skarsgard seemed like a perfect casting for Flagg too.

I certainly disagree with you as far as superhero stuff. Point taken re: Breaking Bad. I feel better though that my son the film major recently admitted he couldn't get through all of Breaking Bad. I had thought he'd loved it, and that's why I gave it a chance, but he didn't.

It's pretty meh. They're really devoted to the sitcom nostalgia -to a fault- and it's getting a little tedious unless you're really into old sitcoms. It's not nearly as mysterious as it thinks it is though. I just feel like Legion did what they're trying to do, first and better.

Assuming you're talking about nominating King for Judas and the Black Messiah, I don't think he or it is elgible for this year's Globes - it has to be released in 2020 for consideration, and the official release date is Feb 1 2021.

Post by: reuben on February 04, 2021, 10:26:36 PM
Season 6 Episode one cannot come soon enough.
One ep to go. Dominique Tipper is killing it.
I need Erich to die soon. I don't know who decided to cast this guy (https://i0.wp.com/outoftimeradio.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/5/4/3154790/795859.jpg) as a badass crime lord but it just doesn't work at all. I respect the inclusive hire but there has to be an amputee out there who doesn't look like he lost the limb in a musical theater accident.

YOU'RE SO RIGHT ABOUT VAR it's seeping the vitality of the game for me. use it for contentious plays/events/calls, but using it for absolutely everything, even something that looked fine to the naked eye, only to have goals be reversed because a player had a lock of hair past the defender even if his feet werent..........is infuriating

Last couple of episodes brought the story together and I'm given to understand they're setting the stage for something much bigger than just Wanda, but it still doesn't feel like I should have had to sit through at least 4 or 5 episodes of shitcom pastiche to get to it. It was a one episode storyline stretched over half a season.
There's one episode left, and I'll watch it, but it's garbage. The last episode was a series of vignettes we already knew happened but had to be shown for some reason. And then summarized by Agatha. Like they say, "Tell, Show, and then Tell Again!"

I was late to the game on Rick and Morty, but I've seen them all now. Great show.
Went looking something in the same vein. Netflix has a few cartoons that are pretty good. I'm like Big Mouth and Paradise PD so far. Dirty, crude cartoons.

As for Agathas last line of the 8th episode “that means you’re the scarlet witch” I’m sorry wasn’t that known from like the minute she and Quicksilver hit the screen in Age of Ultron? Wasn’t that her nickname in the movie? It felt like it was meant to be this huge reveal.... but I was just confused by it.

I think wandavision has one episode left. I was watching this today while doing random housework since I’d heard good things. First few episodes were just odd, and it did pick up in episode 4-8 though. I’ll be curious to see how they end this.IIRC she's always been referred to as Wanda Maximoff in the MCU.

She said that means you are the Scarlet Witch.
As in there is a legend about someone who posses this type of power who cannot be trusted, needs to be stopped, etc. This basically tells you the next episode is going to be a massive battle to stop her which will likely lead into a problem Dr. Strange will need to solve in his movie.
FWIW I have been pretty let down by this series. There is a lot of great creativity to the writing of the show and the last episode did a great job explaining how we got here and why things happened the way they did (why she's in a sitcom world, what the commercials mean, etc.), but the whole waiting a week for 20 minutes of new content has been lackluster.
We'll see how things pan out with the final episode though, which is supposed to be close to an hour long. If the final episode is great then I may change my tune.

100% agree with this. Would likely have been much better if I'd binged it. Several weeks of "that was 25 minutes of my time that had no payoff" was irritating.

The last episode was a series of vignettes we already knew happened but had to be shown for some reason.We knew what happened, but we didn't know why or how it happened. Those are two very different things. We learned the mindstone didn't give Wanda powers (hint hint she's a mutant and she's not alone - XMEN BABBIE!) and that she stopped the bomb from going off. We also know why we're in this mess, and that Hayward's goal this entire time was to recreate vision.
To say, "The last episode was a series of vignettes we already knew happened but had to be shown for some reason." is like saying it was stupid to bake a cake because I knew what the cake was going to look like based on the picture of the recipe.

Rewatched Shameless. Have to admit I enjoyed it. And, where we stopped last time, season 7, I thought that was a really solid season and Monica dying at the end of it was the last “big” moment on the show other than Gallavich at the end of season 10. There are still a ton of things about the show that bother me, especially Lip, but overall I’m happy I rewatched.
Watched Ozark. Awesome show although I wouldn’t put it in the upper echelon. Well acted, I love Julia Garner and loved Buddy. Tom Pelphrey really knocked his last couple episodes out of the park. How he couldn’t get a nom for a supporting actor is criminal. I’ll never hear “Ooh La La” by Run the Jewels the same although I kinda saw what was coming.
Watching Master of None now. Love it so far. Should have watched it awhile ago as I love Aziz. Love the music too, guy has great taste.
Re-watched the “In the Woods” 2-parter from Louie last night and have to say that’s one of the most affectiing episodes of any show I’ve ever seen. I know he’s been cancelled but that show was brilliant at times, and that episode is probably the best one. Well acted, and it should resonate with any one who’s been on either side of the coin.

I enjoyed this show on a surface level but I wonder what your take on this is - ultimately I couldn't really relate to his character at all because his problems are like "aw jeez I don't know what I want to do with my life" and "I'm gonna end this relationship because I'm bored" and I just had trouble giving a excrement.

I mean the show is basically an expose on what it is like to be a mid to late 20s single male in NYC figuring out your relationship life. It nails it perfectly.
For me it was crazy accurate, every episode was ive eaten there on a date or with a friend. The taxi scene when he's deciding on whether he made a mistake and should go back to the Italian chick's apartment literally happened to me. Trying to figure out how to balance fun nights out with friends vs spending time with family. Aziz was spot on

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is weak. Really not a fan of the Disney+ rollout thus far. The Netflix shows turned to excrement but at least they got the first couple seasons right.
I'm actually enjoying this. Definitely more watchable than WandaVision.
What surprised me with how much I like it is the new Superman show on CW. It might be because I'm a dad who has raised teens, but it's a lot more about Clark and Lois as parents than it is about the hero stuff.

You can never really evaluate these murder mystery shows until after the season, but I liked the first episode. She's got that Philly accent down pat.

I mean I was on board with them from episode one. The set up feels very "ACKshully anarchists are the real fascists" so even if the show does reveal them as really bad I'm still sticking with my first read.Just finished the show, I don't think this is where it went. Really ham fisted finale though.

It definitely follows some fairly well worn tropes, but it's a Marvel / Disney TV show. It was never going to be a deep exploration of growing global malaise designed to make people question the underpinning constructs of society. I think it treated the Flag Smashers as sympathetically as could be expected, and definitely didn't paint them as "the real fascists".

Whats interesting is it originally might have gone in this direction. The director as well as other leaks have noted that there was an entirely different plot that was removed around pandemics and inequality that was because of the similarities to what was going on around the world.
Remember the original release date was in the middle of the pandemic and right after George Floyd. It probably wasn't a good look to say a man made virus was released by an Asian country. Even if the country is fictional.

Most of his work is quality, IMO. Kingsman, Kick-derriere, Old Man Logan, Civil War, and Red Son all led to fair to very good adaptations. The only completely butchered property of his that I've read was Wanted, which was an awesome comic that was mutilated beyond recognition. Haven't read or watched Jupiter's Legacy yet.

I was mostly referring to his own IPs, although I completely forgot that Kingsman, which is one of my favorite things ever, was his.
I'm not that big of a Marvel guy but Old Man Logan and Civil War were two of his works that I really enjoyed.

The writer said that they're setting things up in the first season that will matter much later on, so I think it's going to be one of those shows you have to go into with some degree of commitment and willingness to accept that it's playing a long game.

Finished Midnight Mass....5 honks.
I started Haunting of Bly Manor this weekend. Flanagan is the man, there's really nothing in his body of work that isn't at least decent. Gerald's Game is probably the weakest link but it was still a pretty faithful adaptation of a difficult to film book. I haven't seen Before I Wake or Absentia yet.

Squid Game was freaking dope
I thought it was fun and well-made but overhyped, it never really got better than the first episode for me. For such a surreal premise, most of the story beats were pretty predictable and the main character's kevlar plot armor was bothersome.
Battle Royale did it first and better.

I just heard of it this week, watched the trailer and decided to watch, so the hype wasn’t a big factor for me. Reading that it hit #1 streaming on Netflix in like 83 countries did initially pique my interest.
I predicted the 2 biggest endgame plot twists immediately, in episode 1 and episode 2-3. Didn’t guess the winner correctly. Still found the show to be very entertaining.

Binged This is England ‘86 and ‘88 and was absolutely blown away. I loved the movie but the show might be better. Some of the scenes were frankly hard to watch. But, the acting is incredible, the writing is very believable and the characters are really fleshed out. I still have to finish off ‘90 but this is already a top show IMO.

Post by: Miamipuck on October 26, 2021, 02:35:59 PM
I watched the Dave Chappelle special that has the LGBTQ+ community up in arms. As with most Chappelle shows, there were some jokes that missed their mark, some that hit quite well, and a couple that were really misjudged, but I didn't find it to be particularly more offensive than previous shows of his (recognising that I am not transgender and therefore not the right person to be making a definitive determination of what is and isn't offensive to that community). I actually found a pedophilia joke made very early on to be the most offensive part - it wasn't even a good joke, and it was completely misjudged IMO.

No, because English Midgets living in Canada are not in any way stigmatised or mistreated by society.
The problem isn't with edgy comics. As I have said before, Doug Stanhope is my favourite comedian ever and he goes to places no one else would dare. I'm also a huge fan of Bill Burr.
The thing with both of them, in particular Burr, is that he never lets you forget, and never makes you think that he's forgotten, that as a straight white cis man he's in a position of privilege. That doesn't stop him using gay people or black people or women or anyone else as a source of comedy, or of mockery, or of entertainment, but he knows exactly how to keep it funny without making it an us and them act.
Chappelle at times is really close to getting it; he opens with a message that makes me think he might actually be getting it right this time when he says something along the lines of "the last 17 months have been a trip; I'm rich and I'm famous so it's really not a problem for me, but I hope you're all doing OK". I think he's probably a good dude with a decent heart, but he still doesn't get how to speak to and about the LGBTQ+ community. Unfortunately he can't help but continue to keep bringing the message back to "I recognise that you are marginalised and mistreated in society but I'm black and so I've had it longer than you and worse than you and you can always just fall back on your whiteness so stop whining". He also falls into the trap of lots of people who deep down believe that they're not racist fall into, of thinking that they're not racist because they've met lots of black people and they treat them exactly as they treat anyone else. So he is with telling stories of his transgender friend, or of the transgender woman he talked to in a bar with her gay black friends; it's easy to not be bigoted when you're looking into the other person's eyes, but it's all too easy to treat the wider group differently ("black people are this" or "trans people shouldn't be that").
If your approach is just going to be "comedians are supposed to be funny and if you don't like it then you duh snowflake hur dur" then so be it, because there won't be any talking people past that point. All I'm saying is that I can see why some of it isn't funny and falls the wrong side of edgy and into offensive, because some of it is badly written and badly judged and just makes me think he doesn't really understand what he's talking about.
Burr and others are good because they're so keenly aware of where the balance is. Chappelle is continuing to get it wrong. His closing lines were the best bit of all, where he says that he won't be doing any more material about the LGBTQ+ community until he's "sure we're all laughing together". Unfortunately he still seems to think that it's them being po-faced and failing to step in line with him, rather than him actually understanding why his material continues to be troublesome for them. It's a shame because I do like him and I think he's almost there.
Also, the pedophile joke was by far the worst one. It was bar level humour and it was completely out of place and context. I don't understand why he did it.

Basically, too many people get offended nowadays from comedy or jokes. Sorry but there are things in my heritage that people make really awful jokes, in the scheme of things, that I just laugh off. I think the people that are protesting Chapelle's jokes are annoying. He didn't do it out of anger. They want to make progress with people go after the ignorant or people with malice, not a freaking comedian. It's going to get to point where there will be no comedians and no jokes. Of course eventually, the pendulum will swing in the other direction.
BTW not that big a fan of DC and haven't seen the special, I am not sure if I will.

So your position is basically "as a straight white cis man I don't get offended by comedians so I have no interest in people who do". That's your prerogative, I guess.

Wait you just said I am straight? What is this place coming to?
As a Jew I have a little perspective on hate, hate crime etc excrement most of the world hates me because of what I am......... and yes I don't give a flying freak about people that get easily offended by comedy. It doesn't mean I walk around in every day life and insult people at random, that's just freaking stupid. Nor do I accept the mistreatment of other people because they're in power those they put down aren't. But yeah freak you if you can't take a joke!

Yeah. Also that almost all Belters in the show look completely normal. In the books they're all freakishly lanky and tall - it helps explain why they're so dehumanized by the inners. I get it though, I'd rather see Cara Gee and Jared Harris in those roles than some mediocre 7 ft. actors.

Agreed that it lost some of the effect but the choice to go with casting for acting talent over physical attributes or going with some ridiculous CGI or makeup was the right call.
I did like that they kept the tattoos. I loved the lore of the tats covering up the effects of early spacer tech.

If you want q character who is 1. highly articulate and 2. a massive piece of excrement, cast Burn Gorman.

One of my college roommates met a chick downtown during a Thursday night game and brought her back to our apartment to "watch a movie" -- they watched Antichrist in his room and she left ...in a hurry.
So then he came into the common room and all eight or so people that were over watched it.

One of my college roommates met a chick downtown during a Thursday night game and brought her back to our apartment to "watch a movie" -- they watched Antichrist in his room and she left ...in a hurry.
So then he came into the common room and all eight or so people that were over watched it.
An awful experience for him turned into one for everyone.
I don't think a worse movie for a date exists than that.

Good news, now you can watch Yellowjackets. The finale is this weekend.
And for old times sake, watch Succession too.
Still don't have Showtime.

I've always been a huge fan of her, she's just a lunatic badass. Did you not like Kalifornia or Natural Born Killers? Also, she quit acting for a bit to go and do her rock band, which was really good.

Top notch danger freak, IMO.
I only saw Kalifornia once and don't remember much about it.
Natural Born Killers, otoh, blew me away when I saw it in the theatre. I went back and watched it again a couple of days later.
Actually I haven't seen NBK in over 20 years, I should get on that.

I saw Antichrist in a theater and it's the biggest regret of my life.
Running away when someone turns that movie on is the only option.

I think that if you're a horror devotee it's worth seeing, if only to readjust your frame of reference for all subsequent movies. I recall it came out around the same time as the first Human Centipede movie which got much more lurid headlines, but to my mind there's no comparison between the two. As you say, it's not an amateur effort - it's well made by someone who clearly has an eye for effective film making. I think that it took legal film making to the very limit of where it can and should be.

I do agree with this.
The film is not for everyone, to put it mildly lol.
But again, it is very well made, and is very extreme in content, I'll say that. I'm a film buff and horror fan so I felt the need to check it out.
I don't feel the need to see it again, similar to what JE said. To be clear (as a big time horror fan for decades), I appreciate the uncommon films that make me feel "whhhhaaat the fuuu--ck....". So the French original Martyrs is one of my favorite horror films ever and I recommend it MUCH higher than ASF.
Not to derail a TV show thread any further, haha, but it's also why I loved Hereditary and Aster's follow-up Midsommar....I like movies that just go off the rails.

that excrement looks like a joke. looks nothing more than an attempted glamorization of the present day lifestyle of the LA rich/elite
it would have been cooler if they wrote a story about the life of someone actually living in the west or north philly ghettos
I haven't heard of this service or the reboot, and I feel like my life was better before I did.
consider yourself lucky. i am still somewhat shocked a large group of people decided to name a for-pay streaming service 'peacock' and that everybody felt that was an okay, normal thing to do.

Hated the 30 year old basketball captain and all of his lame derriere speeches. I also thought Argyle was pointless and not funny at all.

I'm glad they added Sink because she's easily the best actor out of all the kids. Gaten Matarazzo is OK too. The rest of the kids are mediocre to bad.
I find myself watching this and last season and just wanting to fast-forward to the stranger things. The showrunners do horror really well; comedy and drama, not so much.

The interrogation of Cousineau, a perversion of the "I love you" exercise from one of his first classes.
Genius.
That final shot. Jim Moss, standing outside, framed by the window, Janice Moss's portrait, inside, in the picture frame.
freaking genius.
The sound bite of the football game during the title sequence…
Which led to Jim Moss watching a game while an interception happens as the SWAT team swoops in to intercept his daughter’s killer.
Just incredible little details all over this series.

Agreed. The show is entertaining enough, but always leaves me asking wtf is happening at the end of the season. Which I suppose is the point of cliffhangers but it’s not just about the situation it’s about the larger questions at hand. Hopefully season 4 comes quickly now that there isn’t a pandemic to deal with and we can get a lot of those answers. I’m not sure how many more seasons a show that thrives on “the apocalypse/ end of the world is coming” can continue to create new scenarios about the end of the world

“I’m upset the show about the girl with super powers used super powers to solve the problem that required super powers.”
If you wanted to complain about the Duffer Brothers’ writing you could have picked something other than what they told you they would do in the first episode.
Such as:
-Keeping Will as background character who is coded gay instead of actually exploring his mental state.
-“Oh right, Will has a connection to the Upside Down, too!”
-Max and Eleven’s relationships are only discussed in terms of their love interests or male family members and completely ignore how they relate to each other despite placing a massive emphasis on their friendship in the previous season.
-The speech giving basketball captain was definitely cut content from Riverdale
-The only reason Lucas was on the basketball team was because they didn’t know how else to get Erica in on the Hellfire Club game.
-Why did the cops and the mob act like the Eddie was the only member of the Hellfire club?

"My whole career I completely shat on jump scares as a concept, and I wanted to make sure it was pinned to me, too, as much as it is to the show, to Netflix, and all of us who have inflicted this on everyone," Flanagan said. "Now, I have my name in the Guinness Book of World Records for jump scares, which means next time I get the note, I can say, 'You know, as the current world record holder for jump scares, I don't think we need one here.'"

Mark and his daughter Eleanor’s lives were changed forever 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire. Seemingly frozen in time at the age of 12, Eleanor has lived a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the human blood she needs to stay alive. Now they’ve returned home to New York City, desperate to find a cure.

The Wire was superb. Seasons 3 and 4 were elite and the opener for season 4 (Snoop in the Home Depot) is a classic. Episodes 7 and 8 of The Bear were amazing. Really want to see JAW get nominated for something. Midnight Mass was fantastic. The scene on the rowboat at the end of (I think) episode 5 was insane. First 3 seasons of Peaky Blinders were top notch. Barry has been fantastic and Wrexham has been a very pleasant surprise. Oh, Cobra Kai season 5 was surprisingly good too. Zabka funny as always, Chosen was cool and Kreese surprisingly a little dramatic.
Saul was the best though. Better than BB. Was genuinely sad it was over for like 2 weeks.

Wrexham was mostly ace.They had a few off episodes but I really enjoyed it. I didn’t expect it to be about the town itself so much plus the players all come off as good dudes. It’s kinda hard not root for them. Nice win against those Reds today, by the way!

Haha so true. I love Agatha Christie-detective-type mystery shows (and books) and there are approximately 11-teen billion hours of agatha christie/sherlock holmes/various mystery shows-slash-mini-series on netflix and amazon alone.
My watchlists and lifespan can't contain them....so I just end up watching old Monty Python (aka "Monty Python") or I Think You Should Leave as I doze off.

You take a story that was made up by a couple of suburban yuppies trying to get famous and adapt it into a tv mini series.
Fun fact: the suburban yuppies who faked this story did so in my home town.

If this is true then I would actually agree with him leaving for this reason, but I'm still getting the same results. The Witcher becomes something I don't want to watch and Cavill pursues projects that I don't want to watch, I just start blaming the Witcher slightly more.

It's a weird show
Early on I enjoyed it, the second half it just really freaking weird.
I'd say it reminds me heavily of west world in the sense that it starts of in an "old" setting, and then introduces weird freaking sci-fi elements. I'm sure some people like that kinda thing, I do not. (FWIW westworld was better and more coherent)

Once the episode with Cheese going to the group home started, the show kicked up a notch and I even liked the Big on drugs episode because of the story within the story (and it was hilarious). I wouldn’t put this into any upper echelon of TV anytime soon, but I’m definitely looking forward to season 3. Willy Jack (who at first I’ll admit came off as kind of some kind of caricature) and Cheese are just awesome characters. She really came into her own in season 2.

Willy Jack ruled from the jumpI didn’t take her seriously until the hunting episode, which was one of the best episodes of season 1. She became a real, fleshed out character at that point. Season 2, and the 9th episode in particular was a shining moment, she really came into her own.

Cheese is just a good dude. Well written, and acted perfectly. His prayer in the last episode really hits, and the reasons he tells the other guys in the group home why he is the way he is are just awesome.

Completely forgot to finish Andor until now. 10/10. Best Star Wars release since Rogue One.
Yeah. It wasn't just intelligently written for a Star Wars project; it was intelligently written, period. Cassian's story was good, but I was completely sucked into Mon Mothma's and Luthen Rael's political drama. Rael might be the most interesting Star Wars character to date and Skarsgard crushed that monologue about what he's sacrificed for the rebellion.
Also, one of my all-time favorite movie tropes is the Torture Doctor and I just loved Andor's iteration. You see a lot of actors go over-the-top for those roles, but this guy played it so small and so friendly, it was really unsettling. And then the actress just sells this unheard Lovecraftian horror with nothing but facial expressions. Really clever.

I will add and it's not particularly close. Watching Andor just showed how mediocre all the other Star Wars shows really are, including the Baby Yoda Show....I mean the Mandalorian.

The post-credits scene where they basically confirmed exactly what everyone already guessed about the parts they were building in the prison were fore, but I still love the theory that they were just building those mechanisms just so the prisoners one section below could take them apart and send the parts back upstairs for them to be built again.

freak, I haven’t watched that one. I do remember reading the banshee debates too. Haven’t watched that either.I think Justified would probably get a 100% endorsement rate from JO.
Thankfully I’m healing to a point I can at least play some PlayStation for a few hours a day. So I don’t need as much tv. But I’m glad to have a few more recommendations

One hundred percent worth the dvr space.The funny thing is I went back and rewatched the first three seasons of BCS because I hadn’t watched them since they aired and I remembered thinking it was slow, and compared to seasons 5 & 6 they are, but it was pretty awesome to watch it again knowing what was gonna happen and noticing the little things that were actually big things down the road. I know awards mean nothing but it’s criminal how little this show has been recognized. And, the second half of season 5 is just as good as season 6. Bagman, Kim dressing down Lalo (not to mention Lalo’s interrogation of Saul), and Lalo escaping his compound are top notch tv. Not to mention Nacho’s ethical dilemma and Michael Mando’s portrayal. His phone call to his papa in S6, E3 is a tear jerker.
After finishing, I rewatched Breaking Bad, which I hadn’t watched since it wrapped up. And god I had forgotten how freaking good it is.
I’m not sure which season is my favorite
BB season 3
BB Season 4
BCS season 6
All are just so good

Is Justified that good? I’m watching Dexter (I just finished season 3) but it looks like it’s off Prime in a few days which is no bueno for me. I have HBO Max so Justified is an option for me. Kinda blows because I’m rather enjoying Dexter even though some things that happen on that show are a little too convenient and while it’s an enjoyable, binge-able show, it’s certainly nog upper echelon. I do want to get to Trinity Killer though so that blows.
Stop watching Dexter after season four and it's a perfect ending to the show.
Justified absolutely is worth the watch.
Both shows are on SteveFlix. Come to the dark side....

Mmm, very possible I could bang out season 4 in three days (that’s apparently when it’s gone). I have to work the whole weekend (lol, prob just jinxed myself).

During a Bills-Dolphin commercial break CBS showed a promo for this game show - looks like a real winner

"CBS" + "sitcom or game show", typically equals "another disposable low in 'bread & circuses' ".
At least not as insulting as the combo of "FOX" and "reality show". Whatever, if you want to turn your brain off and watch it to help relax and SpongeBob is too challenging and stimulating, good for you. We're all doomed anyway, enjoy the ride.

Season 7 was much better but I don't know anything that would recover from the co-creator/voice of the two main characters sending texts like that to 15 and 16 year olds.
In much better news: The Legend of Vox Machina season 2 is up on Prime.

The Dave and Buster's scene was so goodThe shifts in comedy, seriousness, and sadness are something else. This might be the best produced show on TV for me right now. I don’t want to spoil anything but the looks on Stephen Root’s face and Sarah Goldberg’s face in the prison yard and the visiting booth, respectively said way more than words could.

The shifts in comedy, seriousness, and sadness are something else. This might be the best produced show on TV for me right now. I don’t want to spoil anything but the looks on Stephen Root’s face and Sarah Goldberg’s face in the prison yard and the visiting booth, respectively said way more than words could. It’s a really great show on many levels.
Even better than Perfect Strangers with Larry & Balki?

Running out of things to say about Barry. This season is something else. Give Anthony Carrigan all the awards after that excrement and the storylines are absolutely bananas. Rare to see a show firing on all cylinders this many episodes in a row.
It's a perfect show. I hope that Hader writes and directs an action movie after this.
It sounds like he wants to do horror though.

When what Fuches is going through barely registers and what happened with Gene is like, oh excrement I almost forgot about that, that’s insane.

So writers are throwing a lot of jokes about Jenna Ortega for talking about how bad the scripts for Wednesday were and my only thought is that if you are a Netflix writer accused of missing the lore/tone/point of your adaptation you don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
I haven't seen Wednesday but I generally consider actors to be paintbrushes with egos, and more likely to steal limelight from their collaborators than save a project with their artistic sensibilities. That goes double for teenage actors.

Literally every participant in Hollywood is a massive ego. Writers typically have the largest egos with the least self esteem (this is not a reflection on the strike, they are 100% correct for doing it).
Netflix in particular has had a recurring recent problem with its adaptations: they either don't know or don't care about the source material and its lore. It's why every anime adaptation has been a disaster and why Henry Cavill left The Witcher. If you read the interviews she did where she specifically mentioned the changes she had to push for with the writers she is 100% correct, unless anyone was clamoring for the goth chick that spoke like any other GENZ stereotype.
And the optics of a group of grown men ganging up to publicly insult a teenager is just...WTF?!

And, Yellowjackets (can’t thank Steve enough), haven’t been the biggest fan of season 2 but the last two were both great, particularly the last one (ep 6). I don’t want to put any spoilers up but for anyone who’s dealt with the loss of a baby it’s pretty heart wrenching. They put a little twist in that somehow made it worse without being as obviously gruesome. And, the girl who plays young Shauna…wow. She knocked that excrement out of the park. Pretty powerful stuff from her at the very end.

Succession is one of the best television series of all-time. Barry is in the Top 20 too.You’ve probably watched more Tv than me, but Barry is top-10 for me. All 4 seasons are great. Season 3 got a little cartoonish for me, but this show went off on a definite high. Perfect writing, fantastic acting, spot on commentary for where we’re going and where we are now. If that WalMart/Target scene wasn’t perfect (or the use of “More Than Words”) I don’t know what is. I mean, Hank and the Cristobal statue…

You're critiquing based on the assumption that the characters knew what the audience did. They just followed Jeff and Callie up there, they had no idea what was going on and didn't have a reason to think that anyone on the compound aside from Shauna was a threat.
I have a much bigger problem with what happened to mustache cop than what happened to murdered cop.
Everything was wrapped up too neatly in that finale and there is no reason to think that there is a hero left in either the modern storyline or the past one.

Watched the first 9 Bear episodes the first day. Rewatched ep 9 and finally ep 10 today. Him getting locked in the walk-in seems kinda farfetched, kinda like the money in the sauce seemed like a Deus ex Machina kinda situation but, man, some great, great TV. Fishes and Forks (and the ep with Marcus is Copenhagen) both ridiculously good and, I don’t remember which of you said it, but Fishes could have 4 guest Emmy’s alone, although JLC is my obvious standout. The scene with her and Sugar’s husband in the finale was really good too. Standout ensemble there.
It was Heiss and I think this number is 2 too high.

Bernthal and Odenkirk was simply cut the tension with a knife, high drama, stuff.

Claire isn't the reason he didn't call Fridge Guy. He's the reason he didn't call the Fridge Guy. He starts shutting down when he gets pressured, he gets overwhelmed and distracted which leads to him being insecure about his ability to run things. As a result he refuses to ask for help and refuses to accept it when it's offered, and it's because of how Joel McHale's character treated him when he was working in NYC and the larger trauma he received from working in abusive kitchens up until this point. It's why he completely loses it at Sydney when the seven fishes dish is cold instead of dealing with it like a professional and why Sydney has to talk him down.
Look at it compared to how Sydney and Richie wind up growing and changing:
Sydney loses her palette and instead of checking out restaurants with Carmy she goes to every restaurant, bar, and coffee shop in Chicago to try and recenter herself, asking any chef who will talk to her for help.
Richie can't get over how the restaurant has changed and how he's the victim of it until he goes to stage and actually let's someone tell him why he's fucked up.
Carmy wants to prove that he can do it himself but he doesn't know how to do it, won't let anyone help him figure it out and won't let anyone else take over a task he thinks is his because he thinks doing so means he's failed.

He starts shutting down when he gets pressured, he gets overwhelmed and distracted which leads to him being insecure about his ability to run things.

Claire isn't the reason he didn't call Fridge Guy. He's the reason he didn't call the Fridge Guy. He starts shutting down when he gets pressured, he gets overwhelmed and distracted which leads to him being insecure about his ability to run things. As a result he refuses to ask for help and refuses to accept it when it's offered, and it's because of how Joel McHale's character treated him when he was working in NYC and the larger trauma he received from working in abusive kitchens up until this point. It's why he completely loses it at Sydney when the seven fishes dish is cold instead of dealing with it like a professional and why Sydney has to talk him down.I never put the blame on her. She is clearly the best thing in his life, way more than any restaurant or job he’s ever had. He let that happen. Like his mom, it’s why he gets so offended when Richie calls him Donna. It’s why she doesn’t go into the restaurant to see her kids’ success. It’s why he sabotages his own relationship with Claire and, to a certain extent, everyone in the restaurant (who are people he cares about). It’s also why he never called the fridge guy. I agree with everything you wrote but he is his mother. They are the same. They won’t allow themselves to have anything good in life because they don’t think they deserve it. And, it’s why she drinks to excess and he works obsessively. Hopefully, in the next season, he can break that cycle of destruction.
Look at it compared to how Sydney and Richie wind up growing and changing:
Sydney loses her palette and instead of checking out restaurants with Carmy she goes to every restaurant, bar, and coffee shop in Chicago to try and recenter herself, asking any chef who will talk to her for help.
Richie can't get over how the restaurant has changed and how he's the victim of it until he goes to stage and actually let's someone tell him why he's fucked up.
Carmy wants to prove that he can do it himself but he doesn't know how to do it, won't let anyone help him figure it out and won't let anyone else take over a task he thinks is his because he thinks doing so means he's failed.
And, Richie has a Jamie Tartt-like redemption. When he brought out the deep dish, I was so concerned he’d drop it, or freak it up somehow, and…he didn’t. The Fishes ep also showed how close he and his ex-wife were and it was kinda heartbreaking to think back to the first season and he’s in her phone as “bad news” or whatever it was. Forks might have been my favorite ep of the entire season and thats saying something.

In order:
JLC
Odenkirk
Bernthal
Paulson
Mulaney
Platt could win best supporting actor for that Steve Bartman monologue.
This might be the Community homer in me, but I thought Gillian Jacobs did a great job too. Her scene with Richie in the bedroom was so natural and authentic, it was this little oasis of peace in a maelstrom of an episode. It was a different kind of heartbreaking seeing them together and loving, knowing how things are gonna go. (^ what guinness said)
I still can't believe they pulled that episode off. One of the greatest things I've ever seen.

I still think episodes 7 and 8 from last season are the best (I mean, the first 10/15 minutes of ep 8 are what won JAW all his awards). But, Fishes is gonna be the type of stuff potential actors use to get jobs because it was that good, it was that tension-filled. It was great actors at the top of their games.

beyond it being an amazing show, i simply love that it's a show that centers around the lives of natives living on a reservation. two of my best friends from medical school, who ended up marrying each other, decided to go off and practice at a native american reservation in new mexico after they graduated from residency. i think about them often
FX crushes television. between the bear, rez dogs, and what we do in the shadows, they've given me an amazing summer of television (amazing year actually, i watched/finished atlanta around the new year).
can't choose between atlanta, the bear, or rez dogs for my favorite show. each show holds a different meaning to me, but i'm just so glad that they exist lol

I’ll take Curb over Seinfeld every day of the week. First 4 seasons of CYE are as funny as it gets (that show got a little repetitive over time too).

The League is great but I tried to limit my list to shows I either quote or re watch on some level. I never watched Taxi and hated Cheers growing up, probably because I was a kid but any time that excrement came on I would go outside or try to find cartoons.
Drew Carey and the Norm show were fantastic on ABC during that era.

I never watched Taxi and hated Cheers growing up, probably because I was a kid but any time that excrement came on I would go outside or try to find cartoons.I grew up during the heart of the Cheers era (hell, my parents even took us there) and always found it hilarious even though I didn’t understand most of the jokes. I watch it on Pluto TV a lot now, and it holds up for me. Taxi was something my dad would watch and then I re-watched in on Nick at Nite or something and Danny DeVito is just so funny. The dynamic between them all was perfect to me.
Drew Carey and the Norm show were fantastic on ABC during that era.
The League, I’ve rewatched and The Vinegar Strokes episode and Kegel the Elf are two of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. And, Jason Mounzakis (however you spell his name) is perfect in his doses and Nick Kroll is perfect on that show. Just, such a douche.
Yeah, whoever thought to put Drew Carey, Ryan Stiles and Dierdrich Bader together is a fuckin genius. I love that show and Craig Ferguson was perfect as the dickhead boss.
I did put The Wonder Years up top for a reason. I know Kevin Arnold could be annoying sometimes and the show fell off awful at the end, but I was exactly a year younger than him and was going through a lot of the same excrement he was, although it portrayed a different era. The music was perfect, the acting was great; the show could be hilarious, incredibly sad and touching all at the same time. And, for the record, I’m team Becky Slater.

Post by: guinness77 on October 10, 2023, 01:02:00 PM
My 2 cents on Cheers. Good show, i didn't find it really funny until Woody Harrelson replaced the Coach.Woody Harrelson was just effortlessly funny and his character the perfect nitwit. Still remember The Kelly Kelly song. I didn’t realize this until I looked it up a few months ago, he won like 3 Emmys. I didn’t remember that. And, c’mon, Carla is hilarious too.

Everybody Loves Raymond confounds me. Peter Boyle is unbelievably funny. In everything really, but especially on this show. But, Ray is such a bitch and for a renowned sports reporter, that fucker is always home. It’s funny, but he’s the weakest link on that show.

As far as the league goes...Rodney Ruxin is one of the funniest sitcom characters of all time.I said it before but Ruxin is the perfect douchebag on that show. Almost everything Nick Kroll does on that show is funny.
In regards to the Office, the Diversity episode had me in tears. Comedic brilliance. The perfect amount of cringe.
I think Comedy Central actually skips the diversity day episode now because that station is terrible now. Which, only proved the point of what the show was pointing out. Although shout to Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant because that episode is basically lifted from the original Office (which I’d argue is better than the US version).

So there's a long running game where someone sends me a screenshot from The Simpsons and I can name the episode and season and provide a synopsis. I'm like a more retarded Rain man when it comes to Simpsons.
This episode:
Season 4 "Brother from the Same Planet"
After Homer forgets to pick up Bart from soccer practice, Bart gets an older brother (played by Phil Hartman) out of petty revenge. Homer ends up getting a little brother to match that energy. It culminates with an awesome fight scene with an homage to Street Fighter before video games were as mainstream.

I'm like a more retarded Rain man when it comes to Simpsons.Me and a friend of mine would quote the Simpsons vs the 18th amendment episode all the time. Now, there’s so many great lines in that episode but we’d always crack up when Rex Banner bumps into the Comic Book guy and say “out of the way tubby,” and he would get all offended and then look at his stomach and say “tubby! Oh yes, tubby,” and be all sad. God seasons 7 through like 10 are perfect.

Fall of the House Of Usher started on Netflix. Probably gonna check this out, anyone else. I skipped Flanagan’s last series because a bunch of you said it wasn’t good, but early returns sound promising.I'll check it out next week when I'm off work for 3 weeks.

The Midnight Club?
Post by: guinness77 on October 12, 2023, 11:59:10 AM
The Midnight Club?Yes. I haven’t seen Bly Manor either but that was more of a “I’ve got better stuff to watch” kinda thing I just never got around too. And, not that I base everything I watch off IMDb ratings but MC is significantly lower rated than his other three shows.

It's fine. It didn't get renewed so not really worth investing time into.
Hopefully now that Flanagan's at Amazon, he'll get to do Dark Tower.

Finished off House of Usher last night. I’d still rate behind Hill House and Midnight Mass. It was definitely pretty good and some scathing social commentary in the last few episodes (I won’t spoil it) but I’m NGL…after the last scene of episode 2 I think my expectations got a little high and I’m not sure the show ever reached that point again because it was some scene. Still, Flannigan tells a good story and I’d say it’s worth the watch.You write genetic code that makes the lemons look like funbags. Then you cross pollinate, release it into the wild so it can spread and then you sue the poor farmers when your proprietary tit lemon DNA shows up on their land.

no i didn't, and i understood there was a lot of criticism about the ending from manga readers.
isayama came out and said he worked with the anime artists to make some adjustments to this final episode, but the ending of the anime and manga would essentially remain the same. so i believe it is the same ending; it's just a tragic, bleak, depressing one. though i guess you can say that's the whole point of the show in the first place

I just finished it.
I liked the ending, I think it fits. Sacrifice, loss, and the cost of change have always been major themes of the story. The Rumbling being the price humanity has to pay to try and make a new world makes sense.

the more i've gotten to absorb it the more i think it's a fantastic ending, though i still feel a little depressed. like you said, a sad, tragic ending fits with what the story has always been about. just can't shake the feeling of being bummed.
***SPOILER***
the ending was the only way that eren could assure a new start for humanity, a long life for his friends, and for his friends (and the world) to be rid of the curse of the titans. to see his home succumb to a nuclear attack in the credits (likely centuries after his death) was definitely bleak and a total downer, but the nature of humanity would have likely led to that end point irrespective of eren's actions. eren was powerless to stop the path ymir had set to get to the rumbling and the mass murder that ensued, and it was only through mikasa's response to this that the show's resolution even became possible. i just wish there was some sort of way that eren could have assured the safety of his friends and of eldia and still be alive to live peacefully with mikasa. it just wasn't possible. because of the 'time' component, even if eren had left to live a peaceful life with mikasa like he alluded to in that memory, the whole story would have imploded on itself. he never would have been able to travel with zeke into his father's memories to take the power of the founder, he would never receive the power of the founder or unlock it, and he wouldn't have been able to affect the past/present/future the way he did.
just an amazing story. definitely the greatest anime of all time in my opinion, and my favorite tv show ever. i'm going to go backwards and purchase/read the mangas now.

The end credits sequence was painful. Really hammering home the point that no one deed can redeem humanity and that peace and freedom will eternally require effort and how delicate that balance can be.
The thing is we don’t even know that the all of the violence was committed from an outside threat. Presumably the nuke strike was but the other attacks? There were numerous citizens of Paradis shown side-eyeing the Jaegarist military in the epilogue.

The first two episodes were so absurdly oversaturated with character introductions - Usher, the sister, the lawyer, each of the kids, each of their spouses, the granddaughter, the trophy wife, the prosecutor, the young Ushers, their mother, the mean boss guy, the middle-age Ushers, Verna, the youngest kid's lackies, Katie Siegel's lackies, the other boss guy, the first wife... just impossible to set any kind of mood or begin a compelling story with that many characters being unceremoniously dumped on the audience.
Also so far some of the castings seem perfect - Greenwood, Hamill, Siegel, Gugino - but others seem like the Flanagang just pulled their parts out of a hat at random. I don't for one second read the two kids from Midnight Club as Trophy Wife and Sex Symbol, respectively. That scene where Prospero propositions his sister-in-law... that's supposed to be shocking and provocative and sexy, instead it came off like an autistic kid having an episode on her doorstep.
I hope it straightens out because the premise is perfect (I didn't realize it was going to be basically a Poe anthology or that the Ushers were going to be analogs for the Sacklers, that's brilliant). But right now it feels like it's trying to do way too much and the tone is suffering for it.
The Usher narration scenes and that scene with Verna seducing/warning Prospero... that's the tone it should be aiming for, those scenes are dynamite.

I know I’ve beaten this drum many times but I’m rewatching some scenes on YouTube from the This Is England mini-series (plus I’ve re-watched it) and am still in awe of how powerful and amazing a show it was. It’s a Mt. Rushmore show for me and I’m, frankly, surprised considering what most of the board’s collective taste is, that seemingly none of you have watched it. Steve added it to Plex and it’s only, really, the movie and, I believe 11 episodes. It’s so dark at times, but has so much heart and the writing and acting are both amazing.

Not spoiling anything but episode 8 is the best one yet in my opinion. You’re on eggshells the entire time. Debate scene is the funniest one yet in an episode filled with not-so-funny scenes.

If you’re so smart then why are you so dead?Unfortunately saw that coming from a mile away. Strong episode though. Hamm is incredibly convincing in a bad guy role.
And. To add, Juno Temple is killing her role. I really disliked the Keeley character in TL season 3 but that was the writing more than her. But, she has stepped to the plate in this show.

I think we all knew what was going to happen the moment he walked into Tillman's office.
Every character in this season of Fargo is great. It's so hard to do that these days.
I nearly jumped off the couch when Munch popped up in the back of Gator's squad car. He is going to freak him up.

I think we all knew what was going to happen the moment he walked into Tillman's office.I am hoping he fucks him up and you would think he would but something is telling me Gator is either confronting Nadine/Dot or his dad (or both) at some point. In any regards, I don’t see it ending well for him.

Juno Temple is great this season, agree with Guinness, LT her character was meh, when the first two seasons she was fun.
Knew the Lawyer was done for the minute he pulled that stunt at the debate, which was awesome btw.
Pretty sure the women (JT,JJL,the ex Cop and a Linda or two) are going to freak some excrement up in the coming episodes and I can't wait.
This season has been a freaking joy so far.

Post by: guinness77 on January 17, 2024, 02:31:16 PM
Great season, cant quibble with anything other than not a huge fan of the supernatural aspect, which I guess can be chalked up to Munch being crazier than a bedbug. He was a more reasonable Chigurgh.It almost struck me as NCFOM with a “happier” ending. The smile with the biscuit was amazing.

Between that and Rhea Seehorn losing to Stifler’s mom and Odenkirk (who basically played 3 roles) losing to a guy who was just basically being snarky the entire time. I mean, obviously, they have multiple people nominated, against a show that was dominated by great acting and Bob Odenkirk still CARRIED the freaking show.
Shows like Succession and White Lotus have their place. I enjoyed season 4 of Succession to be honest, but Barry and Better Call Saul are groundbreaking shows. Shows that show real humanity in their different ways. You can’t tell me those shows, the actors from those shows, should have won anything over them.

There was no way Succession wasn't going to win everything after it's final season.
Hader and Odenkirk just ran into the gauntlet. It reminded me of Jon Hamm always losing to Bryan Cranston. It's a shame Barry and BCS ended at the same time. Odenkirk couldn't beat the Succession actors and Hader can't beat The Bear.

They’re gonna look back one day and say how did Seehorn and Odenkirk not win even the last season. Succession is one thing (and spoiler, Cox isn’t in half the season) Culkin and Strong are both perfect for their roles, even though I’ll go to my grave thinking Odenkirk should have gotten it for his last season. But, Seehorn loses to “these gays are trying to kill me?” After Bob loses to the Squid Games guy? I don’t know, unbelievable to me. I’d like to see Stifler’s mom have that moment on the airplane bus like Seehorn did. Not happening.

Of all the clueless awards shows, the emmys are the worst.
I can't remember where I heard it, maybe it was from one of you guys. But allegedly all of these acting/filmmaking awards first started because studio bigwigs were afraid of growing artist solidarity, so they manufactured artificial competitions to turn the most influential/talented of them against each other. I'm happy The Bear cleaned up, I like it when artists I love get the recognition they deserve, but as I get older the notion that great works of art like Barry and The Bear are somehow in competition with each other seems stranger and stranger.

Rust's dad being the ghost that led the old woman to the bodies is interesting.
I hadn't picked up on it because I'm not an autist, but apparently in S1 Rust said that although he was born in Texas he grew up in Alaska. So combined with the spiral, it does seem that this season may be moving away from the anthology plan and tying more closely into S1, which wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

Saying that, I was mostly confused and a little pissed off for about 45 minutes of the episode, and somehow the last 5 or so minutes were kinda profound and made me understand what the hell was happening. This show is nuts.

I looked on IMDb, after I saw it, and episode 5 of season 2 is one of the most divisive episodes in terms of reviews I have ever seen. And, I understand why.

Just wondering where they’re gonna go from here where they presently are. His print should become an issue and now his ex is in the house he now shares with his new family. I’m unfortunately mowing through this show but I can’t help it.

Matt episodes are the best.Yeah and they haven’t dealt with him since that episode. I’m sure another is coming.

I can see this being a very divisive show but very original and very good imo.

I’m not 100% percent sure what to call it but it’s one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. I’m pretty sure this is only the second time I’ve watched a show that made me feel like this (the This is England miniseries is the other) and it’s far from perfect, but I found the show rather profound in the subjects of guilt, death, remorse and dealing with your demons/emotions.
lol the freak do I watch after that?

I don’t even know what to say after watching that other than the last thing I expected was a happy ending. And, yeah I’m a bitch, I may have cried a little.

Nolan crushed it . Goggins is the man
Basically most characters have good performances and it's objectively a fun watch and if you're a fan of tbe game series it's a damn good adaptation of the game
Gritty ultra violence , dark humor and the main characters absurd speech checks and dialgouea resulting in awkward interactions are on point
Good casting overall too .
Only watched like 2.5 episodes last night but I'll finish it by next week

- maybe spoilery, I hope not though....
I was about to throw my controller at the TV watching the second to last scene of Shogun (Hiromatsu scene) , thank God for the last scene to clarify what just happened because I was genuinely pissed off about it.

I'm basically just as far in shows great so far and the reviews reflect that.
TBD if it changes but Goggins doesn't seem quite as much as the star of the show as I anticipated.
He also seems awfully similar to Boyd Crowder from Justified

Um…yeah. It goes some real dark places, like even dark for British television, but it was quite a watch. The lead actor is unbelievable and the material pretty heavy. I’ll leave it at that so as not to spoil anything.

Atlanta is better than Mr. Robot. It was on USA though.
I am adding Baby Reindeer to the list
Westworld is a waste of time, imo.
