What TV series are you watching at moment?

Heard about that show plenty before, but had no idea that was the premise. Want to watch it now.

do yasel' a favour and just read the book.

Legion - Thoroughly enjoyed. Noah Hawley is a smooth operator.

yeah that was pretty cool and fun, reminded me a lot of this video stylistically:

hope they didn't blow most of their budget on the pilot.

We'll see. You may be right. The preivews for upcoming episodes didn't look as interesting. As long as they keep plopping a good amount of tuneage, I'm good. That synth during the horror/room entrapment was nice.

About half way through Fortitude S1. No idea how I missed this when it came out but it's pretty damn awesome. Like a take modern take on Twin Peaks, not saying it's anything like how the new Twin Peaks will be though.

I love the expressionist approach, it really wore its influences on its sleeve; Terry Gilliam, Aronofsky, Kubrick, Trainspotting, Beyond the Black Rainbow, The Prisoner.  Surprised to see several Fargo alums will be regulars.   I wonder how they are approaching David's multiple personalities, does he kind of absorb people he's killed, like Aubrey Plaza?  Is there a mutant underground, and what are they fighting against?  If it keeps up this pace, and they show Patrick Stewart in the finale, I'm a happy camper.

Hawley said a no-go on Stewart or McAvoy.

Yea, not really familar with the comics. Who's that creepy blob with the gold eyes?

Yeah, don't know if I believe totally Prof X won't be mentioned, even if it's just a photo.  David's lineage is a major element of his character, and he may also possibly be capable of time travel, as in the books. (hence the vaguely 70s-ish setting?)

I thought the blobby blob could be Mojo, and alien who rules an insane TV obsessed alternate dimension, but he's from the Longshot books, who is also a mutant, so it's a possibility.  Maybe this is all a Running Man reality show.  Maybe it's Trump.

Hawley said Prof X will be in it at some point, just not Stewart or McAvoy. He'll be played by somebody else. Probably somebody from Fargo. 

Maybe just a generic "back of a bald head" lol

Legion was really good, very well put together. Visuals were great, most effort anyone's put in in that regard since Hannibal, was a big Wes Anderson vibe off it. The mental hospital stuff reminded me of I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK as well. It helped that it wasn't very superheroey for the most part (bar the last 2 mins really), hopefully there's not too much of that wank in there, it's getting pretty tiresome at this point.

didn't realize baskets had a second season. very good. louie anderson basically carries this show but i love the tone they find, still reminds me of george saunders.

love that character, amazing perfomance

started watching Pandora in the Crimson Shell last night, I had no idea Masamune Shirow had done another anime series since Ghost Hound and Real Drive 10 years ago.  It's got your basic anime cliches in droves; full-body cyborg teen girls in skimpy outfits, maid costumes, cat ears, huge tits, idol culture, fan service, corporate espionage, AI tanks, Utopian city of the future, and a magical robot vagina that can imbue girls with psionic powers / combat abilities.  I have no clue where the plot is going.

Taboo - ep6. Sadly, found out this was not an 8 episode mini-series. I thought it was supposed to be. Don't think this show is gonna make it for a season 2 and won't have any closure. C'mon...

Ahh, this will suck if its not wrapped up nicely.

Why wouldn't it get a season 2? Seems to get favourable reviews.

Think the ratings are shit. Low ratings generally equal death. Would have much preferred a mini-series.

Sadly, Legion also premiered to very week numbers. Verdicts out if that'll be picked up. As others have said....too many shows.

Philip K Dick anthology series will air on Amazon

http://deadline.com/2017/02/philip-k-dicks-electric-dreams-anthology-series-amazon-ron-moore-bryan-cranston-1201911194/

I'll watch that.

Sounds v promising, but I really dislike High Castle -- and most other Amazon Originals. 

Did you see S2 of high castle? I thought it was a lot better than the first one.

S1 was more focused on historical atmosphere and description of the world Dick's created, S2 was more focused on the spiritual supernatural aspects of the story.

I liked both but I can also understand that it might be too stupid and absurd for some people
