I'm finding American Horror Story fairly entertaining, the maid is good.

 

Edit: Finished the first season, I'm definitely not watching any further. Such bullshit writing. Stay away.

This post was a rollercoaster.

I am salivating like a rabid dog for Better Call Saul season 2, it's so close now. I might marathon the first season in anticipation.

I'm thinking Gustavo might show up this season.

Black Mirror's "White Christmas" was transcendently good

Can't wait for more

Oh yeah I just watched this too. I gobbled up the first 2 seasons and completely spaced on this one until now. John Hamm was really good and it had that same technological paranoia and anxiety they had in the others, but otherwise I thought it was one of the weaker ones.

The David Fincher directed version of House of Cards has become one of my favorite dramas of all time. Breaking Bad still holds the throne of course. Not sure what else I'd rate even close to that highly for TV drama. Kevin Spacey is so good.

I love House of cards its the best show right now along Homeland. Spacey is amazing ive been listening to his old movies (they are not all good though lol)

 

House of cards, Sopranos, BBad, six feet under, the wire are all the same quality imo. Sopranos has the throne for me though.

I really liked the first couple seasons of Fincher's House of Cards but

I loved Breaking Bad but so far Better Call Saul is even better. It's nowhere near the intense crescendo of suspense but it does a better job of creating emotional resonance and has a painterly touch with its attention to detail (the copier room scene gave me goosebumps) where Breaking Bad was more about cranking the anxiety into the red and keeping it there as long as possible. Honestly I relate to the protagonist more than Walt too.

The Wire was excellent too. I want to watch it again soon.

yeah, Better Call Saul actually has likeable characters, Breaking Bad was great, but everyone was an asshole really.

Is Better Call Saul even streaming anywhere, or do I have go back to my old ways?

I know non-US Netflix subscribers get the episodes a day after they're broadcast in the US, I don't know how it works for streaming in the US though.

another good episode. i liked the improve of the juice wigging out in the bronco because that could have easily ruined the entire episode- yet it worked. travolta as shapiro is really freaky looking (can't get over that). and there's something quite not right about ross as kardashian (and that whole side of the cast). otherwise, this is great

once Spacey became President I felt a lot less invested in it.

I agree the last season of house of cards wasnt as strong, still great though!

I thought breaking bad was good, but I also prefer better call saul. I actually got a bit bored by breaking bad somehow.

Cant wait for game of thrones to start!

I'm a Better Call Saul fan as well. I'm in the U.S. so I buy the eps from Amazon the next day.

watched 3 episodes of "the last kingdom" and really liked it. it's brisk and fun, well paced and very well produced (camerawork especially). the dialogue is good and witty, the danes and the englishmen actually feel like two different cultures. there are bascially no moments when its sags or becomes turgid, things keep moving and are always fun. its approach to violence is very verhoven, it can be brutal but there's this gleeful vibe about that doesn't let it become heavy handed.

ummm did the (re)makers not actually watch roots?

^^ The fuck?

Side note- Most awkward 7th grade Social Studies class EVER for the one black kid in my class. For some reason we watched Roots in its entirety for that class at some point in the year.

with the levels of bs inherent in this program, the origin myths of the English race grow ever more far fetched and believable (even if it makes for a vaguely watchable costume drama with swords n blood)

believe it or not, there were indigenous British & Irish cultures present before Anglo-Saxon/Norse arrivals and these people are relegated to the position of half-wits, asking to be robbed and pillaged in this program, something that most serious archaeologists & academics would question

the Dark Ages werent dark, they're just deliberately clouded, so our neighbours can continue with their brand of post-colonial history re-writing

no one cares about any of that.

anyway the show does lose some steam in the later episodes, all those twists in allegiance become kinda tiresome and don't go well with the protagonists' characterizations, they don't seem too believable. and if that's indeed how things worked back then then they don't provide the enough cultural context that would allow such stuff to seem more natural.

the west-side does,,,,,,,, special gangsta hand gesture pose

its fk all personal, but as an archaeologist i'd doubt you'd be offended by folks dramatizing your own cultural history poorly & completely out of context, while academics from a colonial perspective continually support such bs spoutings & offerings

at least you got 3 episodes of entertainment out of it, while my own cultural heritage gets further marginalized, undermined & eroded......

anyway, look what fictionalized history has done for a location like Nottingham and Robin Hood:

Have they shown any previews for season 2? I saw a few clips on itunes but they were meh.

The girl I'm currently dating is heavy into strippers, so she's got me watching Love & Hip Hop New York, lol. My last gf used to mainline Real Housewives of Atlanta, so I feel like I've traded up :)

Anyone watch that UK show Fortitude? It's on some fly by night, no account network called "Pivot" here in the States, so I can't watch it.

Vinyl - not sure if this is going anywhere, basically coked up Italian record exec drives around New York and accidentally discovers every musical genre of the 1970s. The soundtrack is pretty good, but omits any of the proto hip hop they included in the show. And the kid from Doogie Howser aged BADLY, lol.

I'm watching this 11.22.63 bollox on Hulu. I hated the novel and have never been a fan of SK, but here I sit. Happy President's Day innit.
