What show has you hooked?

[Touch_It]

Lots, but my favorites in order are TWD, it's always sunny (1a/b) arrow, agents of shield, and recently the 100.  Binge watching ftw.  15 episodes in 3 days thus far.  Probably will squeeze in 4 more yet tonight.

[jdcarpe]

Seriously, if the TWD writers kill Daryl, it will be the de facto series finale. I won't watch after that.

No spoiler! I am a few episodes behind.

I'd never reveal any spoilers here for those who may be behind. But if I say I've stopped watching TWD, you may know something is up.

[Skuloth]

I'm currently 6 seasons into 'Curb your Enthusiasm' and it just keeps getting better. Seriously, why didn't I watch this show sooner.

[azhdar]

Yeah TWD is getting better, I was about to give up on this show but it's getting better.

Otherwise, atm the show I'm watching : Shameless, Better Call Saul and Vikings, I consider all three of them better than TWD.

Just got into the 100 about a month ago. Season 1 was great. Season 2 drug on though. I am looking forward to season 3 though. It looks like a promising story line.

I would be shocked if they killed off Daryl. The cool thing about Daryl is, he isn't dictated by the books. So they could do anything with him. With that said, if they kill him off, I am sure the show would be over quickly.

Criminal Minds!

[mauri]

iZombie pilot was suprisingly good. Imagine veronica mars was a zombie and instead of being a student she was a medical examiner.

Definitely my new favorite tv show

[noisyturtle]

I finally broke down and started watching Firefly. It's really damn good, not sure why I kept putting it off. Guess I imagined it would never live up to the hype.




It do.

showtime has been killing it lately, shameless, masters, penny. TWD is good considering its not HBO/Show aka Game of thrones budget.

I'm guessing carol for some reason...no i haven't read the comics haha

Things got a bit out of hand and I binged Steins gate, Elfen lied and Attack on titan and Eyeshield 21..

It's been a long ass feel trip ._.

I'm excited for con man. Check it out. It's being written by Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillian. They are in the funding phase on IGG currently and I think they are planning to film in june.

[heedpantsnow]

Sooooo sad about Firefly. The sense of loss I sometimes feel is still so raw.

[bamtan]

Breaking Bad, wooo!

[Flyersfan1]

Not out yet, but I expect it to be as good as Season 1 was, HBO finally released a teaser for True Detective Season 2.

Game of Thrones. I waited until about a month ago to watch the whole series, totally worth it. New season starts this Sunday!

Game of Thrones. I waited until about a month ago to watch the whole series, totally worth it. New season starts this Sunday!

It got lengthy for me..

I don't think they needed to tell the story on most of those characters, they're simply not interesting..

There's the little short dude that's great..

And the Cgi dragons..

the only 2 things I like about the show..


The weakest character IMHO is the blond..  No Nobility in those periods would be un-sexist enough to follow a little fat blond chick into battle.. It's just so unrealistic..

Actually the backstories of most of the charecters are important especially later in the story. I belevieve the TV show is 2 books behind the written series (the newest book is supposed to be realesed "soon"). Not sure who you mean by little fat blond chick... Daenerys is blond, but not fat at all (and she has dragons).

I get that the story is important to people who care about the book..

But my point is that, to someone who has not invested in the universe.. The characters' stories as presented "on tv" at least is not very enticing.

And I don't know bout how daenery looks in the book..

but on the show, she's this pudgy blond chick, and despite the CGI dragons,  you can't visually take her seriously as a "leader" that old world soldiers would actually follow..

I personally think Emilia Clarke is hot a hell and not even remotely pudgy, but the real hotty on that show is Carice Van Houten (the evil looking, fire-obsessed chick in the red dress).

I didn't say she was fat.. just pudgy from the neck down, 

and that conflicts with this female leader character she's playing..

Now if they had.. Charlize Theron..from "the huntsman" that'd make it a more convincing character.

So I just saw a few epis  of the show "Forever"..  the guy who lives for 200 years, doesn't die, immortal..


So he saves a baby from Auschwitz.. and raises it to adulthood..   In the show, his child is now 60+ yrs old and acts as his sidekick..

Here's the problem...

Judd Hirsch plays the character of the jewish baby grown up..

Now.. THe main character is an ENGLISHMAN, as is his ENGLISH wife..


HOW could the baby completely raised by them grow up to be so "Jew-ee".. hahahaha..  with all full blown jewish mannerisms and hand-gestures and accent and intonations ...

It's such a huge plot hole....

I mean.. the character itself "Abe" is great, and loveable, as is any character played by Judd Hirsch,  but... this is CLEARLY a mistake..

I watched all 3 seasons of House of Cards not too long ago, liked it a lot, 3rd season was not as good as the first two though.

Definitely worth watching. Totally different show. But, the producers make a lot of assumptions about the audience's understanding of Breaking Bad. In that sense, the show couldn't stand on its own, but in another sense they are taking it in a totally different and original direction. Some people seem to think they're taking too long to develop the story but Id' rather have that than have it be rushed.

It's not that far fetched that the jew babys adoptive parents raised him to jewish given that he was rescued from a concentration camp.. Don't most immigrants raise their children about the culture and such of their home? The immortal dude just kicked it up a notch in that regard.

Unless, you argue that perhaps there were enough other jews around "judd hirch's" character abe while he was growing up to have influenced his demeanor..

It seems impossible that  the main character and his wife (both very British in demeanor) could've imparted so many distinct jewish mannerisms on Abe while having 0 such qualities themselves,

HAHAHAHA

i don't really care about technical merits of anime, like animation, because at the end of the day it's like 20 fps tops anyway. i prefer to focus on the feel, plot, and impression it leaves. the whole kawaii/otaku thing killed these qualities in most modern anime imo.

so far it's pretty good. soundtrack is very nice too.

[LarsMarkelson]

To chime in on the anime discussion, two recent animes that are in my all time favorite movies/shows/etc. are: Kill La Kill (hilarious, amazing animation, epic) and Ping Pong: The Animation (amazing and unorthodox animation, beautiful art/story).

Couldn't get into Kill La Kill. It's like they fed Gurren Lagann with steroids and then took away the character development. Too much fanservice.

Vikings on History is another great show! Always been a sucker for Norse mythology.
