erwbol Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 Wayward Pines M. Night Shyamalan's piss-poor Twin Peaks substitute. Quote
kinuta Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Mad Men Season one With the final episode coming up I thought it was a good time to go back and slowly rewatch it from the beginning, something I've never done. I was surprised how much more I enjoyed it knowing how it develops. I'd call it richly rewarding tv. Quote
BruceH Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 The season finale of Better Call Saul. This show surprised me being different than I anticipated, and excellent. Yes, I was very pleased with it. I went in just hoping it wouldn't entirely suck, but was astounded by how good it was. The penultimate episode, "Pimento," is a masterpiece. I just wish that the seasons had more than 10 episodes. 13 would be good, 12 would be good, but 10 just doesn't seem like enough. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Series Finale for Mad Men. Interesting. Not what I expected, nothing wrong with that. Been watching this fluffy entertaining series on Blu-ray. Watched part of it on broadcast, but El Rey comes in with a crappy standard def pic on my cable, and the series looks so much better on disc. This is one of the few vampire/horror story lines I've ever really liked, and the series fleshes it out in watchable ways for me. Plus. . . there's Eisa Gonzalez. Season Two to start later this year.

Brad Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Dragon Tattoo Trilogy. Just finished watching the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Quote
Shawn Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 The Flash (CW). I like it, old-school, "gee-whiz" style superhero show that brings back memories of Saturday Morning cartoons in the 1970s. Daredevil was finally the "superhero as an adult TV show" series and we needed that badly...but I think we also need just a pure, fun, pop confection like The Flash to balance out the spectrum, fun and frothy and not concerned with taking itself seriously. Community (Yahoo! Screen). Paintball episode last night, another good one. I'm glad we got this season, I doubt seriously there will be another because it's going to be too hard to keep these actors under contract (they only signed for a single season), so I'm enjoying what will likely be the final appearances of the Greendale gang. iZombie (CW) - Took a few episodes to get the tone right, but now it's clicking nicely in the "what if Veronica Mars existed in the Buffy universe?" mold. Lead actress Rose McIver is very appealing. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Finishing up NBC's "Allegiance" on Demand. Not a great show, but fun in its way. And I could watch Margarita Levieva all day long. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Watched Game of Thrones, Season 3. Whoa. Watching Nash Bridges Season 3. I can't help it, I like Nash Bridges. . . just a fun show. Cheech and Jeff Perry and in this season Kelly Hu. . . fun characters and a few good actors. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Finished Series 5 of 'The Good Wife' last week. Excellent series all round though how you'd live with so many twists inyour life I don't know. And do take-overs happen that frequently? I know, it's fiction. Very enjoyable. Just started 'House of Cards' (the Andorran version). Saw the original back in 1990 and was a bit sceptical of another rewrite. But this is proving to be excellent. I'm not up on the intricacies of how steering and lobbying happens in US government so it takes some following in places; but it has me gripped. Edited June 7, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote
erwbol Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Game of Thrones Stannis burns his only child at the stake, and we end with a battle involving a CGI dragon. What a show, but since I download this through bittorrent, who am I to complain. Quote
Matthew Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 The American Experience on Mark Twain, which I thought was excellent. Quote
Matthew Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Scrubs. I've lost track of how many times I've seen this series, I love it and never tire of watching it. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Utterly gripped by Spacey's Iago. Though I'm wondering if Mrs Underwood might not be his match...Lady Macbeth. (I like the soundtrack too...very effective) Edited June 15, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote
jazzbo Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Nash Bridges, Season 5. Not the best season, but easy to breeze through while organizing stuff for my move. Quote
erwbol Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Tonight, Hannibal season 3 episode 3. Still the best show on television. Quote
paul secor Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Inspector Lewis - watching the entire series. Just finished set 5. I've seen them all before, but it's enjoyable to revisit them. Quote
jlhoots Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Just set up the new season of True Detective to record. Quote
Shawn Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Hannibal. Definitely the best series on broadcast TV, nothing else even comes remotely close to be honest. Quote
erwbol Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Just set up the new season of True Detective to record. I have a problem with seeing some actors as embodying the role they are playing, and Colin Farrell is one of them. I hope he will be more to me than Colin Farrell with a moustache this time. Quote
