Decided to start watching Millennium as some of u said it has similarities to True Detective which i enjoyed very much 8-)

 

First episode was dees.. has potential fo sho... was kinda bummed by the lack of boobies though. 21 Episodes to go crikey dick thats a long season

season 2 is the reason to watch millennium

Been watching Bob's Burgers. Didn't expect much but damn this is a great show. Yep I'm a fan.

Set in the early 1980s, series dramatizes the personal computing boom through the eyes of a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy whose innovations directly confront the corporate behemoths of the time. Their personal and professional partnership will be challenged by greed and ego while charting the changing culture in Texas' Silicon Prairie.

Anyone watching Hannibal? If so, is it good TV or good for network TV (or shit)?

it's good for network tv, probably the best thing on network tv, for whatever that's worth. it's fairly ridiculous, particularly in terms of plotting, because it's "hannibal," which is honestly a bit silly? But it's also very watchable and pretty dark for network tv. it's objectively much better than/darker than, say, Dexter. There is some legitimately arresting imagery, a good deal of which does not seem particularly networky, and a good deal of which is also way better than you'd expect from this particular franchise (post-Silence of the Lambs, I mean). The main actors are good. Mads Mikkelsen owns the character now. And for some reason Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall is in it, and a super reserved Gillian Anderson. The casting is a bit weird and, maybe because of nothing more than my own expectations, makes for some tonal inconsistency; in hindsight the casting might be kind of clever. I enjoy trying to determine whether Laurence Fishburne is losing weight or gaining weight in any given episode (I actually think he might be losing quite a bit at this point!).

@doublename i've been enjoying hannibal. The cinematography is well thought out, the soundtrack is all sparse atmospherics based around percussion reverb & environmental noise, and Mads totally nails the role

Started watching New Girl, really like it.

It's so much better since Damon Wayans Jr came back, he really plays well off the other actors.

Also, Syfy's 12 Monkeys series has received a full 12 episode season airing in January 2015

You know i saw a trailer for new girl once, and thought holy fuck Damon Wayanes hasn't aged a day!! Turns out it was his son, who looks scary similar to him.

pretty accurate. The show is most definitely flawed. But, I'm really down with the strengths baph alluded to.

I think the whole first season is streaming on Amazon Prime, so I'll give the show a look. Sounds like it'll be pretty and interesting at the very least. Fanks u guice!

Actually the first season was dicey. Very 50/50 on it. I wasn't gonna bother with the second season, but being home most Friday nights I tuned in. Pleasantly surprised with the 2nd season. 2nd season opener was pretty tight. I think it's stronger & more confident of a show now, albeit still flawed.

I started watching Hannibal but my wife made me switch it off after the main guy lived with all those dogs because she thought they were all going to die. Does anyone kill a dog in this show? She can handle the human mutilation but don't hurt a wee pup

No dog deaths at this point. They're the only thing that have not been killed "yet". 2nd season is better than the first.

I'm hooked on Helix right now, making my way thru the first season of that. Dialogue can be a little hamfisted with exposition & tropes but I love that there's some hard sci-fi on TV. Very stylish visually as well.

Watched the first episode of the From Dusk Till Dawn series last night and it was totally badass. I'm definitely on board for this one. The dude who plays the same character as Tarantino in the film is even better in the TV series, imo. Rodriguez has also said he prefers the TV series to the film, so I'm really curious to see where it goes in terms of narrative & quality. (since I enjoy the film but think the 2nd half is kinda retarded and nowhere near as good as the 1st half)

Haha, so much apparently unintentional tension on the show re whether dogs will or will not be killed. There was cringing chez baph as well.

season 2 is definitely an improvement

so there is literally a From Dusk till Dawn and Fargo series currently running? does that make anyone else besides me genuinely depressed?
