We've got Homeland Season 4 on its way from Neflix. Yay.
The opener of Longmire's new season SUCKED, but the following episodes have been great. |
Claire, Claire, Claire... I have such a dirty ol' man crush on you. You are my 90s sweetheart and you always will be.
<3. Sigh... |
The Gamechangers
Tonight on BBC 2 at 21:00 Western European Summer Time (22:00
Central European Summer Time) The Gamechangers This 90-minute factual drama goes behind the scenes of the hit video game Grand Theft Auto, arguably the greatest British coding success since Bletchley Park. In autumn 2013, the game's latest iteration - GTA: V - earned $1bn in just three days, becoming the fastest-selling entertainment product in history. But this drama goes back to 2002, to tell the story of a three year period of intense controversy in the history of this iconic game's development. It happened when two passionate men on either side of a high-stakes cultural divide clashed. This conflict, between the creative genius behind the game and a self-styled crusader for American morality, escalated into a fight for the hearts, minds and freedoms of an entire gaming generation. The Gamechangers stars Daniel Radcliffe and Bill Paxton. It is intended for an adult audience and is part of the BBC's Make It Digital season. It is unauthorised by the producers of Grand Theft Auto. ![]() |
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT SEASON 4 -- Now that I've had a few years to get over the differences between this and the others, I can really appreciate how this fits together like a brilliant jigsaw puzzle. And like jigsaw puzzles, some patches are more interesting than others, but it's the whole that's the thing. This season is pretty mindblowing.
Plus there's a bunch of jokes I missed the first time around, like in a Buster episode when he's having an ambiguous relationship with Lucille 2--she's coming on to him for sex, he thinks she's talking about food. He gets frustrated and says, "Is this another one of those nights where nothing is as it seems and there's no creampie for dessert?" |
Wow, Carrie sure turned into a hardcore coldhearted bitch. What's that about? (Opener, Season 4, Homeland)

New series of This is England. Good god is it bleak.

Curious:
DOCUMENTARY NOW - Clever, even nerdy, concept. Mediocre execution, especially considering the talent involved (Armisted, Hader, Myers). A few chuckles. SCREAM QUEENS - Surprisingly hilarious. Ten times better than it needs to be. The dialogue is really good. Like, VEEP good. I think because it's on network TV, the profanity prohibition really spurns some smart banter. So, the one I thought would be good wasn't so much and vice versa. |
Started in on Gotham. so far so good.
constantly re-watching Trailer Park Boys.... |
Bad Robots
|
FARGO, season 2
|
Just finished 1st season of Game of Thrones
Couldn't get into it |
GoT is not about fantasy sword and sorcery. it is more like HOuse of Cards than Conan. I like it because it explores the power dynamics in the world it creates, how some gain it, lose it, and have it taken away. Once I got over the fact that it was not going to wow me with sword and sorcery action I got into it. There are still boring parts though....
|
I get that, I just found the political side, for all its complexity, a bit hollow in its apparently relentless cynicism. I dunno, maybe it changes in later seasons but I pretty quickly realised that I didn't really care about any of the characters (except maybe the dwarf guy, I liked him), and was getting a bit bored with all the softcore sex and hardcore violence.
|
hahaha, I felt and feel the same way. I like the escapism though
|
Worst thing for me was seeing the bloke who played Conan in the remake who's meant to be playing some super warrior, but does precisely fuck all for the entire season, before dying after his wife smothers him with a pillow. A pillow, for fuck's sake. It's like having Sauron perish choking on a bacon sandwich. I know you said it's more than just swords and axes but they build him up and I was at least expecting to see him indulge in some serious barbarity, but nothing. A pillow.
|
I cannot disagree. I am irritated at GoT just as often as I am intrigued

well, the pillow isn't exactly the main reason for his demise..but I get what you meant. |
Addicted to the Mystery Diners series.Impossible to defend on any level but I can't stop watching.

We've been watching NBC's, Blindspot. The first three episodes were outstanding and the the last couple were just so so......but I think it's headed in the right direction.

Been watching the surprisingly funny Aziz Ansari show on Netflix, Master of None

Gotham
What a great show! Caught up on Season 1 via Netflix and now we're into Season 2. |
Gotham is unhinged insanity at its best!!!
|
Yes, it is. I've been impressed with the novel approach to the Batman story.
|
Quote:
Yeah...I've been watching this a bit too. Pretty entertaining....good for netflix n chill. |
Has anyone been watching HBO's Vinyl? I've been enjoying it, even though its been getting a lot of mixed reception. I'm curious what some of you guys think of this show.

Wait, is season 2 on? I finished Season 1 in January, and even though the show failed to deliver on a lot of its promise, I still thought it was of to a good start, and I wanted more. Not sure why folks are being so hard on it. It's well written and fairly well crafted, surprisingly well acted at times. A good series, but for anyone expecting Breaking Bad version 2.0 (or, -1, er whatever), I can see how they'd be disappointed. |
X-files.
skipped over the ones I've seen and focused on the mythology. made it to season seven. the season when Mulder finally tries to hit on Scully. when she's out of that stupid uniform she's a real fine beauty to behold but, she seems to fall for psychos. can't figure Mulder out. did he give up, content jacking off to porn? he could totally bag Scully and make her his. he's a confident witty guy. da fuck!!... tis was the 90's after all. oh dream woman Scully!!! you get my rocks off. reminds me of a joke: there's two kinds of redheads..... |
The answer to your questions are answered...in season 9. I think you can skip season 8.
|
enticing! thanks. can't wait to catch up.
|
been getting a kick out of a couple of comedies. Letterkenny, about a passle of young hicks up in rural Canada, and Fleabag about a horny 30 year old cafe owner in London. Both of these are worth a watch
