Justified Season 4 - such a good show, about a billion times better than the overhyped sopranos, the episode with the snake handling church was just too much, and the shoot out with the fake cop I had to watch 5 times it was so crazy.

ha ha ha-- im watching justified season 1

at first it seemed meh, like a more glossy law and order, but it just began to grow on me as it's starting to show some long arcs in the weave.

it's not "the shield" though. "the shield" motherfucking ruled fx and everything else.

Has anyone been watching this season of Mad Men?

Rob Instigator 05.13.2014 04:26 PM

I have.

I was under the impression that this was the last episodes of mad men, but AMC keeps saying "Only 3 more Mad Men episodes this year." are they making more?

Didn't they split the last season between 2013 and 2014? Those fuckers.

Mad Men is the flashiest most professional looking soap opera ever.

Don Draper got tag teamed last episode.

Rob Instigator 05.13.2014 04:30 PM

just checked. AMC is milking their cash-cow and showing final 7 episodes in 2015. wow. what fucks.

It is still a show about wealthy white folk's problems, like almost all shows on TV

I've been watching The Real Housewives of New York
AVIVA, YOU CUNT!
GO SONJA! ily ily ily
CAROL, YOU FAKE SLUT
I guess Heather is okay
Ramona is a bit annoying but since Aviva hates her I kinda LOVE Ramona
LuAnn is boring and somehow reminds be of my step sister

Rob Instigator 05.14.2014 08:32 AM

Ramona is mentally ill. That show is truly a collection of the most horrid women they could find in NYC

I'm having a hard time deciding if it's going to be Peggy or Don who winds up taking the harder fall as the series starts winding down.
There seems to be a subtle motif of characters effectively becoming casualties of their era and being written off the show (Sal, Kinsey, and most recently Ginsberg) and I can't help but feel that a more major character could follow suit.

Recently finished Freaks and Geeks so now it's on to Nathan For You.

Both highly recommended.

Thanks.

Friend of mine loaned me her HBO Go username/password. Fuck yeah.

Just started watching Veep. Saw an episode on a plane and thought it was funny as hell.
Can't wait to go through all three seasons. JLD is fantastic

guest 05.18.2014 03:49 AM

JLD in veep is astounding, seemingly no one can deliver a line like her. and she somehow improves with age, unlike my $2 bottle of aldi home-brand piss.


new season of louie is out there, makes me at turns cry in laughter and in pity for the poor bastard.


latest episodes of hannibal, featuring michael pitt as mason verger, have been pretty much totally incomparable, the most recent in particular which was fucking hilarious, which is really something when considering the disembowelment and whatnot. seems to be really flying under the radar, this show, which is really lost on me considering that a) visually speaking it's more artful than everything else, with a killer soundtrack to boot b) the cast and general acting is, again, of a higher standard than anything I've seen c) they're more inventive in terms of plot than other shows of the format are regardless of whether they're tied down to another story d) it's so fucking funny. jesus, people just suck ayyyyy.

Rob Instigator 05.19.2014 07:57 AM

Louie is great at making me laugh and feel uncomfortable!

evollove 05.19.2014 01:43 PM

VEEP has always been good, but season 3 so far has been the best.

Every show has about three or four lines everyone should try to incorporate into conversation.

And when the writers give up, it's still funny: "Wasn't it Oscar Wilde who said Dan is a fucking awful campaign manager?"

deflinus 05.19.2014 05:58 PM

I've started season 2 and already it's way better than 1. I keep hearing the rave reviews about season 3.

I'm starting to swear a lot more since I've started watching. I haven't even noticed.

!@#$%! 05.21.2014 11:39 PM

dexter season 8

it's so fucking retarded. all the characters are retarded. just retarded.

watched season 4 of californication and it was still the ongoing boring tale of a collector of venereal diseases getting older than moses while pretending he's "cool" in some sort of post-60s gen-xer manchild way. highly cringe-worthy. should have ended there (should have ended ages ago) but i understand they still have 3 more seasons after that. why???

Showtime is odd, where HBO tends to for the most do five season runs of their successful shows, Showtime will do seven or eight which is as much as a successful network series on CBS or NBC would get. Californication got seven seasons, Dexter got eight, and in pretty much both cases of Californacation, (which I was never a big fan of), and Dexter those are shows that probably would have benefited from HBO's more five season runs.
