erwbol Posted September 18, 2013 Report Posted September 18, 2013 Yesterday, I watched the first episode of season one of Luther. Some shockingly violent images of a dead golden retriever. And the killer must be the Alice mentioned above that is still alive at the end of the third season. What kind of a police drama is this? I'm curious what this will turn into. Quote

The dog figures in the plot, erwbol. Yes, there are some violent images, kind of like in real life. The series doesn't show them gratuitously, but if there were none, it wouldn't be an honest depiction of what the characters live with every day. Not for the squeamish or kids parked in front of the TV with no supervision, for sure. It is very realistic, unlike many police dramas on the air. No beautiful, buxom characters, with no discernable reason to have them there. No impossible action or feats of strength or impossible in real-life scenes that require a double, no special effects, etc. etc. etc. So, fasten your seatbelt.

jazzbo Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 Last night's Breaking Bad. Great episode. Robert Forster! What great casting! Quote
BruceH Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 Indeed, very nice to see Robert Forster again. Funny how Breaking Bad has become this big flash fad. Quote
Blue Train Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) No spoilers, but I really hated the series finale of Dexter. Edited September 23, 2013 by Blue Train Quote
jazzbo Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 Indeed, very nice to see Robert Forster again. Funny how Breaking Bad has become this big flash fad. Yes, interesting phenom. I'm watching Once Upon a Time, Season 2 on Blu-ray. Man this show looks fantastic on Blu-ray. Quote
BruceH Posted September 25, 2013 Report Posted September 25, 2013 No spoilers, but I really hated the series finale of Dexter. I haven't watched Dexter since season 4. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Homeland, Season 2 on Blu-ray. Wow, Zuleikha Robinson joined the cast. I like that woman. Quote
JSngry Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Move Over, Darling on streaming Netflix. No color was spared in the making of this movie. Quote
jlhoots Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 season finale of The Bridge. Returns 2014 - looking forward!!! Quote
ejp626 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 No spoilers, but I really hated the series finale of Dexter. I haven't watched Dexter since season 4.I read a spoiler-heavy review of the finale that said it was so bad it invalidated the entire series -- and that they now regretted watching any Dexter episodes at all. Harsh... Quote

Harsh... ... but true (except for regretting watching seasons 1 through 4). The last three seasons have been contrary to the Dexter character from the early seasons. Season 5 was a disappointment, but from season 6 on it was an entirely different show. Also, they didn't have a clue what to do with any of the supporting cast. ---- Now watching Citizen Khan.

I agree that "Dexter" had an unsatifying ending, unlike the amazingly effective "Breaking Bad" finale. Quote
Shawn Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 Sleepy Hollow. Just the right mixture of gonzo supernatural, humor and mythology. Doesn't take itself too seriously and is the most fun new show of the year. It's basically Buffy with a HUGE budget. Quote

I read a spoiler-heavy review of the finale that said it was so bad it invalidated the entire series -- and that they now regretted watching any Dexter episodes at all. Harsh... In a sense from the moment the character got married and then they had a child and then what happened....it started invalidating the series. The last season was just one very long never mind. Outside of his still killing people there wasn't much of anything sociopathic about him for a good while. The last episode was as bad as the series finale of Sopranos and Seinfeld in my mind. It's best run is when Erik King was playing Doakes. Edited October 5, 2013 by Blue Train Quote
kinuta Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 The Blacklist Three episodes in, this could well turn into a really good series. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Homeland Season 2, Blu-ray. Not as compelling as the first season. Sleepy Hollow. I really think this is silly but what is silliest is how quickly and completely Crane has adapted to 21st Century life. Ridiculous! I do like Jada Pinkett Smith, oops I mean Nicole Beharie. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Nice and unusual. The best series about Birmingham (the real one) since 'Crossroads.' Like the way it dispenses with the usual period soundtrack (1920s) using grungy alt-rock instead to provide the edginess. Edited October 14, 2013 by A Lark Ascending Quote
jazzbo Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Revolution, Season 1 on Blu-ray. Pure escapist drivel but looks and sounds really good. SNL with Bruce Willis. Not much there there. Once Upon a Time: Neverland. I liked the first two seasons but this one hasn't grabbed me yet. American Horror Story: Coven. A nice beginning.
