yeah, I wrote about it in this very thread:

new hacker/conspiracy thriller called Mr Robot. was expecting it to be terrible, but it wasn't bad actually. was surprised to see the only semi-accurate portrayal of sysadmin stuff and hacking I've ever come across on TV or in film, left out a lot of the detail for obvious time constraints, but there was nothing glaringly stupid involved. not sure if I'll be able to handle the protagonist's monotone voiceover for the entire series though.

Think the season actually starts next week or something. Releasing pilots many weeks before the show starts is annoying.

really liked the pilot, definitely got my attention. hopefully it doesn't get too preachy and keep within the "it's a worldview of this particular and deeply flawed person" confines.

thanks for the review, i obviously missed it before.

i've put a reminder to record it to my dvr in case i forget when the show begins.

just finished sense8. yeah it's alright i guess...bit stupid but worth a watch i'd say. they like to crowbar sex scenes in every episode though which i didn't always think necessary.

dragon ball kai (2014)

they spent far too much time on character development, a good writer should be able to develop his characters at the same time as advancing the plot. could probably have edited the whole thing down to like 5 episodes or something. crammed full of new agey nonsense as well, which didn't help. was interesting enough for the bits where stuff actually happened though.

Hannibal - Ep3/secondo

Thoroughly enjoyed. Ice pick to the dome/10

As eugene has stated, this show doesn't exist in a plausible grounded reality. It lives in a hyper-reality dream state. Nice score as well. Think it was toward the end of the episode, but something really struck me as "that sounded reals nice". Gillian Anderson was quite good.

I'm thinking Hannibal will be caught by mid-season & complete left-turn into the Red Dragon arc.

Been watching Veep slowly, its very well written and a great satire into American politics. Really great cast dynamics.

Looking forward to True Detective though, next week i believe

Super Sonico - the touching (yourself) anime tale of an Idol who's only super power are ginormous breasts that make her life miserable. Moe fapping at its best.

Watched the first episode of Humans, interesting stuff. Really fantastic and unsettling performances from the "synths", and another great OST by Cristolbal Tapia de Veer (Really need to check out more of this guy's stuff).

Lost In Space

The Twilight Zone

Steven Universe

orange is the new black - started watching it and really isn't all that great, it's basically 80% arrested development in female prison and 20% actual drama, it's funny quite often but you get the sense that the female prison is nothing more than a vehicle for gags, some rather shallow and predictable drama and hot button topics pushing. obviously it's impossible for me to experience an environment like that but i just get a feeling that the show isn't really doing a good job of portraying it faithfully.

thank fuck rectify is coming back in two weeks and a half.

finally watching game of thrones, i'm on season 2 episode 2 now. lovely show.

Ya know it's based off the memoir of the real life Piper Kerman who spent a year in a women's prison right?

yeah, maybe she's just a shitty writer.

There are rumors Clarice Starling will join the show.

Looks like it has been cancelled http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/06/22/hannibal-cancelled-by-nbc

Just finished Bloodline, which I thought was just excellent. Great performances from the two brothers and nice to see a background of Miami that didn't focus on being a tourist postcard. A+, will trade again.

Now a couple of episodes into Sense 8... I guess it's ok... editing is a bit of an assault on the senses though. I'm pretty sure the title sequence was done by one of Michael Bay's drunken interns after seeing the one from House of Cards. Bit of a quality drop after Bloodline.

do you ever feel like there is a piece of media that truly captures your life? your friends, your culture, your way of being in the world? this happens often with books. "that book was my childhood" or "that novel is just about my life"

well GIRLS is that for me and my life and my friends and my culture.

a lot of that sucks and im sure everyone here who hates lena dunham for some reason will be like d-lo is a dumb idiot with no taste. oh well. i totally understand that GIRLS isn't for everyone, but people whine and whine about how unrealistic it is --- sorry, breh - thats about as close to real life as ive ever seen on tv. and for that it should be applauded.

GIRLS GREATEST SHOW EVER

I like Girls more than I like my actual friends. Quality programming.

watched a few episodes of sense8 at a friend's. utter fooken rubbash.
