What TV series are you watching at moment?

can someone tell me up to what point It's Always Sunny is still good? I doubt after 10 seasons it's still going strong, I'd like to know at what point it's dropped off.

The first episode of the new X-files did not impress. The second was more akin to the good episodes of the old series. Probably has to do with it not being written by Chris Carter. It's good that it only is six episodes, not time to ruin it completely. I don't know if the 90s-type conspiracy gimmick really translates well to the 2010s world.

There were lols in the latest episode where they were at the ski lodge. Set-up like an 80's flick ala Better off dead. You could say they stole this gimmick from South Park though.

I watch it here & there, but it's not demand viewing for me. I much prefer Man seeking woman right now on FX.

Watched the pilot episode of Sneaky Pete, it was alright. Mostly surprised by Bryan Cranston appearing at the end.

Maybe you've seen them already but the first 5 seasons are utmost excellence with great episodes in 6,7 and then I lost track.

bachelor is good this season damn i want to take caila to the fantasy suite

 

although the mind does run wild with those twins.....

LOL! I had to endure 2 hours of this the other night and the Olivia chick is batshit. The only reason he hasn't voted her off yet is he needs to hire more bodyguards I'm sure.

also the producers were like.... she makes good television.

sad one of the twins had to go... still #teamcaila but... i've always had a soft spot for becca and after the whole neon lights vegas date i'm more on board than ever. i want to marry becca!!!

Just finished season 2 of Fargo - i know i know...been done to death by the cool kids already.

Holy fuck though if those werent 2 of the best seasons of TV ever. I think I liked season 2 even more than season 1. still though, just fucking great great tv.

Now to finish off season 3 of Hannibal.

cosmos (the new one) - completely stunned by how great it is. being an astronomy geek i thought i would find it boring as i figured it must be a bunch of introductory level stuff but it's really an outstanding show. apparently season 2 is being determined right now. i could see how it's an expensive show, they bring neil around the world, do a ton of actually good cgi, a bunch of long animation bits from history. the talks for renewing it and what it would involve have been dragging on for a while now... i hope neil is in it and they have the same resources as they did for the first

The high production values of Cosmos is what set it a part from the usual US science/space documentaries. If they cut it down, it would be more like them and I would probably not watch it. Not that the new Cosmos was that awesome, but the bar is pretty low.

I can't take modern US produced science shows seriously, so cringe inducing. Look at the Brits to see how to do it properly, e.g. Horizon.

^ wha'bout Nova?

I think PBS (Public Broadcasting) generally does a pretty decent job in this regard. Nova, Frontline, etc. No agenda drivel or dumb downed shit for the average american knob, as on other so-called science, historical networks. (Discovery, History channels)

nah, even that stuff is terrible for me. the over-dramatic and ever excited tone of the voiceover, the shitty music. horizon have boards of canada and shit, and the voice over people are calm and serious sounding.

maybe there's some good stuff, I've not seen a lot, maybe it was just bad luck with the ones I saw.

Can't speak to nova, but frontline produces some excellent shows.

frontline is really under-appreciated. for those who dont know, they do hour long documentaries once a month on important and current issues and don't really pull any punches. it's not half-assed tv news specials like you might think, there's impressive journalism and quality production going on. i don't know how many years back the online archive goes, but they put them all up to watch on their site here

yeah, never seen any of that.

Frontline is a national treasure

Horizon has put out some cracking pieces over the years, almost a national institution. Arena was in a similar vein for clarity of thought, although thats been watered down a bit in recent years

PBS is a terrific resource & introduced me to all the incredible docs Ken Burns has done - an outstanding body of work.

Louis CK just emailed me this:

I have no idea what it's about, and the internet doesn't seem to either. It costs $5.

I thought there would be a massive thread here on Ash vs Evil Dead, either the search didn't find it or watmm has let me down. Anyway, halfway through the series and it's fucking awesome.
