Scott Dolan Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 The season finale of Better Call Saul. This show surprised me being different than I anticipated, and excellent. Is it really good? He was far and away the most entertaining character from Breaking Bad, but I haven't brought myself to watch this new series yet. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 It started off too slow for my tastes but it soon became a favorite show. I think if you enjoy BB and Saul there, it adds a dimension to this show, but it stands on its own too I believe. Check it out. Now watching "The Returned" on A&E. Quote
erwbol Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 Right at the end of that first episode of Better Call Saul there is a payoff for fans of Breaking Bad with a promise of a lot of action in episode two, which was broadcast the next day by AMC (the premiere was on a Sunday). So, hardly an uneventful start. During the rest of the season, this show can take it slow with Saul and Mike in places precisely because we have known them for years. After yesterday's finale the stage is set for Saul to break bad. Quote

AMC has really been knocking it out of the park in recent years. The Walking Dead slipped a bit this past season, but even it is still pretty good. Quote
erwbol Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 I'm about to watch the first few episodes of Marvel's new Daredevil Netflix series. Quote
duaneiac Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) That's right -- Matlock does Pirandello in this 1976 television adaptation. Here, the setting is a TV studio where a cast is preparing to rehearse for a soap opera when they are interrupted by the mysterious appearance of the six characters. John Houseman plays the director and Andy Griffith plays the Father character. Mr. Griffith was a very good actor as any one who has seen A Face In The Crowd can attest. He is quite compelling at times here, but I wasn't fully buying his performance in this production. This was directed by Stacy Keach and his brother James Keach is also in the cast.

kinuta Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Marvel's DareDevil Wow, didn't see this one coming. A dark and violent noir masquerading as a comic book superhero show. I thought the first two episodes were very good indeed and totally eclipse shows like the camp and unwatchable Gotham. Forget the silly superheroes who don't get their hair mussed, this is the real mcoy. Quote
xybert Posted April 12, 2015 Report Posted April 12, 2015 Saw this on Facebook, and they commented that they wanted people to share, so here goes. I've never really watched Game of Thrones, but fans may get a kick out of this. This is a video of my cousins performing the GoT theme on accordians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM35A3uDCes Quote

kinuta Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 The Great War BBC 1964 Nearing the end. Epic and overwhelmingly powerful. One of the best documentaries ever made, only The World At War can compare. Quote
JSngry Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Elementary tonight...I'm probably slow on the uptake, but has this show devolved into essentially Murder, She Wrote? With Lucy Liu still aboard, I'm ok with that, by all means, but still, didn't it used to be quirkier and..better? Quote
jlhoots Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 I found the series finale of Justified quite satisfying. "We dug coal together". Quote
paul secor Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 Just watched She Done Him Wrong on TCM. I needed a refresher on Mae West's great lines and delivery. (I'm sure if I had said that to Ms. West she would have thanked me for the set up and would have had a snappy comeback.) Quote
kinuta Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 The Americans season finale. Never, ever confide in a teenage girl ! Quote
jazzbo Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, that was a good finale. Lots of balls up in the air! Now watching The Shield Season 5. Surprising how much I like that show. Quote

I thought the first two episodes were very good indeed and totally eclipse shows like the camp and unwatchable Gotham. Forget the silly superheroes who don't get their hair mussed, this is the real mcoy. Yes, it's an excellent series. Not just good for a superhero show, but one of the better dramatic series I've seen this year. The series is run by Drew Goddard (Cabin In The Woods, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, LOST, Cloverfield) and Steven S. DeKnight (Angel, Smallville, Dollhouse, Spartacus). Already renewed for season 2.

A Lark Ascending Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 Just started. What am I going to do when I get to the end of this in a couple of weeks! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) The 'Hitting the Fan' episode - wow! Some of the best TV I've seen in ages. The Alisha/Will confrontation was electric. "Question Time" with the three main UK party leaders. Rottweiler audience in Leeds! Might dislike everything two of them stand for but have to admire the way all three took it without crumbling (or denouncing the audience and BBC!!!). Edited May 2, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote

That place features in the Tubby Hayes book ! Quote
