What TV series are you watching at moment?

it's also funny how shy it is on showing anything remotely erotic, you got probably the most violently grotesque stuff ever but when it comes to sexy times they don't show a nipple and not even a hint of a buttcrack.

i also caught up on hannibal this weekend, it seems like in a few years we're gonna actual have scat porn on tv...

aesthetically it's incredible.but writing wise, well, you gotta suspend disbelief really hard in order to swallow it somehow. i mean none of the characters seem like actual human beings, nor the investigations, the dialogues, incredible revelations, the godlike abilities of hannibal and other murderers and so on. maybe it should have gone full balls-in surrealism instead of pretending to conform to some reality, it makes it all very difficult to relate to.

I've lived in Baltimore, eugene, Hannibal is def non-fiction.

I feel you on most every point you made, but I'm pretty down with this show anyway.

That's America for you. Scared as fuck when it comes to sex on TV, but a dude emerging through a horses stomach, people being torn to pieces, all manner of throat slits & stabbings, A OK.

Fargo - Last nights episode flipped the script & jumped into a year later mode. Kinda jarring, but tended to work well & see how characters in the show have adjusted to the previous events. Nice plot points about fate that tie in nicely to several scenes. Kinda of a slowburn episode. Interested to see how the final 2 episodes play out. Everything at this point in the show has been resolved as far as the main storylines go for the most part.

I think Malvo's going to blackmail lester. Way back in the first or second episode Malvo had a case full of phone recordings with people's names on em, including one for the phone call Lester made to the motel. I predict that Malvo attempts to blackmail him (which is why he's in that same hotel in the first place), but Lester thinks he's tough shit now and can take him and shenanigans ensue.

Probably a good call on the blackmail. From the previews, looks like Malvo is paying Gus & Molly a visit. Curious how they get that story arc outta vegas. Wondering how the fuck key & peele are involved in the coming 2 episodes. Had a chuckle when it jumps a year & their still in the filing room. Not sure if they had to completely turn Molly into Marge though. whatevs.

just watched ep 1 of halt and catch fire.really liked it

No ops on Penny Dreadful yet? I love Bram Stoker & Mary Shelley but there have been more bad adaptations than good.

Except - the fat cop woman is still working the case ala Rust, and the hitman hasn't called in that favour from Bilbo Baggins.

correct. There's a few loose ends. I found the time jump a little offsetting from what I expected the show was gonna be. Trial of bilbos brother, deaf hitman revenge, thought all that was gonna go down to the end of the series...everything just is now, except for the fate meeting of bilbo & malvo to spur on the rest of the story.

I am making an assumption: Hitman is purposely crashing Bilbo's party.

Poor Bilbo is gonna reap what he sowed and something insufferably sad is going to happen to the postman.

Quite possibly.

Molly would then have a dead husband in common with the ex-chiefs wife. They would then hook up probably.

finished off season 2 of Hannibal - a little disappointed actually - the reappearance of Abigail was pretty easily foretold by the reappearance of Miriam Lass. Yeah he slashes everyone up, but Will and Jack probably could survive, and Alanna definitely.

Also, I was led to believe that EMT response times to rich neighbourhoods were fast...especially if an FBI employee calls it in? lol

Anyways, I'm really starting to enjoy the surreal, supernatural drama in it. The omnipotence of Hannibal doesn't bother me anymore, and the food is making me really hungry. The ortolan? I want.

If i win the lottery, WATMM dinner party.

Who will we chuckle about eating while, unbeknownst, eating them, except suspecting it a bit, but eating it anyway, because fuck it. ?

sorry about your disappointment. Thought that was a pretty quality way to end a season. I wonder, never being a binge watcher, if I would feel the same about it? Watching week by week, you kinda forget things that happened months ago in a series & you have more "Oh Yea" moments. I guess depending on the show, binge watching would be great (lost, GoT), but for other shows, I would miss the build up week to week (BrBad/hannibal etc). Maybe due to the timeline that exists in the show. Breaking Bad is basically supposed to span a year right? If I binge watched, I'd be like no way that shit went down in a year & maybe lessen the appeal of the show...I don't know if I'm making any sense to myself. Think I'm in a paradoxical loop. fuck...

olo - it was still a really good episode, just the hype on here and imdb forum thread titles kind of built up my expectations too much maybe.

Loved that bit in the spoiler :)

fenton - it would be a vegetarian dinner party dressed up to look like meat.

Hype is a killer. Another reason I try to watch tv shows in real time. Everyone I knew loved The Hangover. It was the ballsout funniest movie ever made man. When I got around to seeing it, I chuckled a bit. Funniest movie ever...sadly no. Really disappointed from all the...hype. Happens all the time when I sleep on something for too long & listen to too many peoples reviews. Music, movies, tv, whatevs

sorry to any hangover fans on here. much love.

I'm watching 3rd Rock from the Sun. I haven't seen it since i was a teenager. It's still as funny as I remember.

Just watched Episode 4 of the 2nd series of Hannibal and thought it was the best yet. Immense.

Kinda binge watched the last 4 episodes of Bates Motel yesterday, great conclusion with Norman getting a polygraph test. Brilliant acting in that show.

Fargo threw a little curveball jumping ahead a year. Then Malvo at the end making himself known to Lester. Could be a coincidence that Malvo's there and Lester could finish him. Malvo is evil, sure, he killed mostly idiots but he killed that poor dog so he deserves to meet a gruesome demise.

Fargo. Loved last nights episode. Great beginning sequence. The episode as a whole was shot loverly. Some great scenes with Malvo last night.

Lester is reaching a new level of cold-bloodedness. Can't wait to see how they wrap this one up next week.

Beverly Hills Pawn

The blonde girl in that is fit as!

sick though how much money some people have. why wasn't my mum or dad a hollywood actor

I just recently started Breaking Bad and I'm about halfway through season 3. I'm always so late on my pop culture tv boners.

Now HBO stuff is added to Amazon prime I've been catching upon a few things.

Bored to Death

This how is very watchable and pretty funny. I liked season 1.

Family Tree

Couldn't make it through the pilot. and I like The main guy and the ventriloquist lady. does this show get funny?

Extras

Rewatch. Still funny in parts.

And up next I guess I should watch the Sopranos, although with all the hype it surely can't live up to it. It'd be like watching citizen kane today

then maybe enlightned because I like Laura Dern

Bored to death is great, nice laid back vibes.

Fargo was bananas last night. I had several saying-things-at-the-TV-screen moments.
