Somehow. At some point. Everyone involved has the hands full elsewhere, but have stated their intent to make time at some point.

Because the chicks are hot, right?

Peaky Blinders season 3 just released. Looks like I've got some binging to do this week. Sucks that it's also a busy work week.

My wife and I have been watching Penny Dreadful on Showtime. It's a horror series set in 19th Century London. If you like Dracula, Frankenstein, and witches then I highly recommend it.

I tried to get into it but couldn't. It sucks because I'm a fan of Eva Green (well her tits anyway).

Thanks probably what sucked me in. I obviously don't have your will power!

If you're looking for just plain laughs from something new, Lady Dynamite is new on Netflix and delivers pretty dang good.

It's a vehicle for Maria Bamford. She's a standup most would know as the member of the backup Fantastic Four that hung out with Tobias' 'The Thing' in the reboot of Arrested Development.

Mitchell Hurwitz is a co-creator, so it has a strong Arrested Development vibe with jokes piled on jokes piled on sight gags piled on callbacks. It also has a ton of celeb guests, some who play wacky characters, some who play themselves.

It's real strength is in off the wall, unexpected humor. As a plot, it's mostly your typical neurotic stand-up messed up life story, broadly adapted. But there's so many sight gags, and funny names, and off-the-wall asides that will trigger your chuckle center, including some well-honed and crafted rants.

I don't want to oversell it, and I certainly don't want to give away any of my favorite gags, so I'll just leave it at 'give it a couple episodes, see if it grows on you.'

Oh, and to save the inevitable search after watching a couple of episodes.

Did anyone catch the premiere of 'Braindead'

A mix of absurd and real covering alien takeover of American federal politics by the creators of The Good Wife.

I've been effusive about The Good Wife being the best show on network TV, and this one, though very different in tone, is off to a promising start.

Just finished season one, doesn't get near enough love.

BTW, I've started watching this show with subtitles. While I could follow what was going on before, I'll admit that the subtitles enhanced my understanding of what was happening. I'm pretty good with accents, but those are some danged heavy accents on the show.

I'm one of the weird ones who prefers subtitles and CC on most the shows I watch. I appreciate the heads up though!

I may adopt this. I'm a huge reader, so I've always enjoyed subtitles. I've just never consciously chosen them before. I think they increase my ability to focus.

It's BACK!!

The wife and I are looking to start a new series tonight after work. We've got it narrowed down to three:

Ray Donovan
Peaky Blinders
Game of Thrones (We're caught up on Game of Thrones, but are contemplating starting over from the beginning.)

Which of these three should we watch?

Probably GoT. The first 4 seasons my buddy and I would rewatch each season. There is a lot you forget between seasons.

Probably what we'll end up doing. That's what the wife wants to do.

Peaky Blinders is awesome. Highly recommend it.

Agreed. Peaky Blinders is amazing. Watch with subtitles if that doesn't bother you. It's a really stylish show that also has excellent writing.

And damn... Cillian Murphy is such a quality freaking actor in the role. Unfortunately, Tom ****ing Hardy steals the show every time he's on the screen.

I'm sure most here will hate this but I love Wayward Pines.

Season 1 was okay, season 2 was an abortion (based on the first 2 eps)

Ive just started The Killing. Really enjoying it so far.

Looking for more ideas. I just got Netflix.

Top of the Lake
Les Revenants
The Fall

Just watched MrRobot. Pretty incredible coming from USA.

Check the spoilers for my opinions. A lot of them are on Netflix.

Very good show. Reminds me a lot of LOST.

Finally watched the last 2 seasons of Mad Men.

Goddamn great television.

I presume

Lost interest in Meh Men very quickly

OK? . . .

You read it right

I know I did. Just a little lost at how you think you were contributing to Buehler's thread.

Just as much as your return comments questioning my opinion

OK? . . .

Well I'm still not even sure why you chimed in with that at all...weird

Never did develop a taste for cauliflower.

Add cheese

Fromunda cheese

Your mom's yeast keeps ruining my batches.

That's what you get ****ing around with people who are no longer alive.

Who would have that Michaela Watkins would work so flawlessly with a Carol Kane accent?

Such a good fit, yet I never thought of it until I heard it.

I tried, and tried, and tried. I finished the first season and it was decent enough overall. But I've been unable to finish any season since. I think Ryan Murphy is just too much for me, as I've had similar problems of fatigue and eyeroll with almost all of his series.

If you can power through it, I don't doubt you'll be rewarded with some amazing scenes on occasion, but to watch and pay attention all the way through is so exhausting, and if you don't pay full attention you usually end up lost.

Even the first episode of People -v- OJ was nerve wracking as you could see Murphy's fingerprints on it. But his influence gratefully receded as the series went on.

yeah...as stated already....it's the only good one. :(

The season premiere just for Donger!!

luther, misfits, shameless (UK), black mirror, the code (AU), housos, utopia (UK). just a few obscure, not so popular shows that are really good.

not sure if they've been mentioned.

i watched all the episodes to this, man does it get depressing as hell near the end. i wont go back to it myself.

Have you had an opportunity to compare UK and US Shameless?

I meant to check out the UK version when the US version started, but it was so good in its own right I just stuck with it.

yeah, matter of fact, last year this time, i binge watched both before netflix cracked down on vpn's.

overall, i would say the UK version is better, but it takes time to get used to the characters as you would not know anything about them. i have yet to see anyone from the cast in any other thing except for frank. he had a bit part in hot fuzz as the theater director.

warning: binge watching both shows with all the dysfunction makes you want to head butt something :D

speaking of shameless us...

fiona reminds me of peg bundy. that bitch thinks shes entitled to everything regardless of how bad she ****s things up. you just want to slap the shit outta her.

off topic but another show, i have mentioned on another thread, but Fortitude is a great tv show.... it does have one character from shameless uk now i think about it.

'Slap' isn't the first word that comes to mind.

Speaking of sexy [stick with me here a moment], the dude who plays Kevin is married IRL to Sarah Shahi. ROWR!!

yeah, not too shabby.

another uk show thats 'okay'. Trollied ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2006005/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt ). it has the dood from youre the worst in it, your avatar.

uploaded a sample clip of utopia

If you aren't watching Quarry, you should be.

Two episodes in... it's a slow, artsy burn... but it's good.

Really interesting characters, great use of music, excellent capture of the south of the early 70s and the cultural milieu.

First two episodes of Quarry are available on youtube, if you don't have Cinemax:

Season 4 of Luther just hit Netflix. I know I've crowed about it before but if you haven't seen Luther do it today (presuming they don't magically drop the ball on S 4)

was actually aired december last year. two episodes only. i was quite disappointed. the show was great though.

Haven been meaning to watch this series for a while. End satisfyingly enough that I won't be pissed by cliffhangers from it not being picked up for a 3rd series?

i would say so, personally. but it appears i am the only fan of the show :D

Caught the Last Kingdom.

Pretty damn good. Decent Violence. A lot going on, but didn't get wonky - other than the main character ****ing everything with an axe wound, so it kind of diluted the whole love thing.

Definitely pick it up if you are into medieval genre flicks.

Amazon TV has a pretty decent show they put together called "Goliath" which you may find entertaining.

Billy Bob Thornton is the lawyer. Co-stars are William Hurt, Maria Bello, Molly Parker.

Pretty good. If you like Billy Bob you'll enjoy this show.

I enjoyed that show as well, but are we sure there is going to be a season 2? I honestly can't tell who is the good guys... it's as if they are all bad lol

Heh. Yeah. I don't know if there is going to be a Season 2. I doubt there is much historical accuracy there, but nobody really being a good guy is about like life, in general. If there isn't a season 2, it'll be OK, it ended fine.

I watched Penny Dreadful. I am not really into horror flicks much. But the production looked good and Eva Green is my weakness.

Like a lot of Horror, there is some wonky writing, but it overcomes it, largely, and most of the story lines are pretty compelling. The exception is Dorian Gray. He is completely useless in the story and takes up a lot of screentime. His character is pretty well acted, but it doesn't advance the storyline.

Frankenstein's monster in particular is goddamned compelling, and worth the watch by itself. Jesus, that arc is amazing.

Lilly Frankenstein is kind of meh, but how it ends up, particularly with Dr Frankenstein is good, and after they revealed her daughter it helped her story a lot.

Ethan Chandler/Vanessa Ives storyline ended up really good. Same with Malcom Murray.

Overall, the production is excellent. As well as the acting. It is worth a watch even if you aren't into the horror genre.

I watched Goliath on Amazon. That is a really good show. Maybe it is because I had low expectations going in, but goddamn, I couldn't quit watching it.

Billy Bob Thornton really brought it. And I don't know how much is makeup or whatever, but he is very convincing about having a lot of mileage on his odometer. Probably because he does.

When my mouth literally dropped open. I haven't been that surprised by something in forever.

Initially I thought the other lawyer and paralegal characters were bad, but they developed them nicely and wove them into the story.

Some of the stuff with Cooperman McBride was kind of wonky, but but you can look past it.

Really a good watch if you like lawyer-ey flicks.

I caught Medici on Netflix.

It was pretty good. I ended up binging it while I was working in the office some.

The production values are really really good. So if you are a fan of the Renaissance period in general you need to watch it. But it is kind of a murder mystery/political thriller, so it's kind of cool. Kind of in the same vein as house of cards.

However, I caught myself thinking to myself "Oh look, someone is trying to wreck Robb Starks life again." LOL

Shameless
Arrested Development
Breaking Bad

Has anyone mentioned Family Matters yet ?

Legends of Tomorrow is really bad.

Currently enjoying very much season 1 of Netflix "The Crown".

Tremendous.

"Alone" on History Channel is my current cant miss show

I'll check that out. I've been wondering if it is any good. Your recommendation of Goliath was top notch.

Ours too. We're watching the current season in our downstairs and a past season in our upstairs so we don't get them mixed up. It seems a touch crazy is the most valuable tool you can have.

Black Mirror and Vikings are my faves.

I'm glad, because the end was kind of a let down.

The Crown is a fairly accurate historical account of the monarchy and its workings in the late 40's and early 50's. The kicker for me is John Lithgow plays Winston Churchill and he does it very well.

I can appreciate The Crown for its accuracy and how well it's done but overall I just find it kind of boring. We watch it but I don't find myself watching an episode and then absolutely having to watch the next one right away. I think we are through five episodes so far.

Anyone watching The Mick?

It's network fluff, but Kaitlin Olsen is a treasure, and that daughter is H O T Hawt!!

She's like a Kendall Jenner without all that Kardashian slime on her, a little resemblance to Morena Baccarin as well.

Watching it here. Love Olsen. Glad to have Sunny in Philadelphia back too.

Finally watched Californication. Some up and down episodes, but the first few seasons were absolutely hilarious. Not sure why it took me so long to get around to it.
