ricojes Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm 7 episodes into the latest Homeland season and I am really enjoying it. There are a lot of layers to the story. I hate seeing Quinn in his condition, but looks like he's coming around quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I was just about to ask if anyone has started it. I'm hoping it is better than Luke Cage was. For me, that one kind of dragged on a bit after they mixed things up a bit at the midpoint. I'd say it's better than Luke Cage so far. Still not as good as Daredevil or Jessica Jones though. I do think the recurring characters is pretty cool. Rosario Dawson is in all of them, and Carrie-Anne Moss makes another appearance. I'd like to retract my previous statement re: Iron Fist. I thought it started out well, or maybe I just liked it because it was a new character that I was not familiar with but the last few episodes just seemed to dragggg on. The second half bad guy (no spoilers) just didn't do it for me. He wasn't believable as being a true threat to Danny, IMO. Also, guy's coming back from the dead several times...blah. I've never read any of the comics but the show just didn't do it for me. Seems like Marvel hit it out of the park with Daredevil but has been slowly declining ever since.

shrader Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'd put Jessica Jones right up there with Daredevil. Both of those shows really brought their A game with the main villains. Cage definitely lacked there and I'm starting to get the impression that Iron Fist is similar. I haven't started it yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Just started watching Crashing on HBO. Comedy series produced by Judd Apatow about an aspiring comedian in NYC. I don't want to give away any more, but it has been pretty good. Nothing too great, but worth a watch. Artie Lange looks like walking death.

BUFFALOKIE Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just started "The 100" last night. Maybe just a little Hunger Gamesish, but like the overall plot much better. So far it has been very good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'm 4 or 5 episodes into Iron Fist. I'm not seeing all the hate for the character that I've seen so often. It makes sense to me. He left the real world when he was a kid and now he has no idea how it works. He's still very much the kid he was before the crash... except for the crazy ninja skills.

Yeah I didn't get the hate, but I think it would have been cool to see him go through all of his training (perhaps that will be a later season like a flashback).

Cugalabanza Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 In Treatment on Amazon. One of my favourites. Gabriel Byrne is an analyst/psych in private practice I'll second this. I loved this show. I thought it was very well done. I could see how some people wouldn't like it though. I recommended it to a friend and he was like, meh, not for me.

The Poojer Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 i actually stopped listening recently, howard's schtick just pushed me over the top, his way of bringing people down so as to make him look superior just really wore on me. as good an interviewer as he is, that too got old. i love JD, Gary, Fred and Richard & Sal, the rest i could do without.

eball Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Wifey and I started re-watching Breaking Bad a week or so ago, in conjunction with the new season of BCS. Up to S2E5 and it's so sad watching the Walter/Skylar relationship dissolve and knowing what's to come. Enjoying seeing Jane again, and eagerly awaiting Saul's (and then Gus' and Mike's) arrival to the show. And good god, Jesse was a punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 As I said, I liked the start but the second half of the series just didn't do anything for me, especially the Harold plot line and Bakuto. I just got to Bakuto and have about 3 episodes left. I have no problem with Danny as a character, but he's just kind of meh as a hero. I'm not really sure what he brings to the table other than a fist that glows once every ten days or so. I'm really hoping the Harold stuff goes somewhere, but from your post, I'm guessing it doesn't. I will say one thing, the show has held my attention better than Luke Cage did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well into the second season of "Breaking Bad" Pretty much living up to the accolades within this thread. Just introduced Saul. "When you are a criminal you need a "Criminal" lawyer" lol I wish I could erase my tv memory so I could experience that show for the first time again. Anyways, just finished first 3 seasons of Sherlock on Netflix. Highly recommend it as it makes the movies with RDJ look elementary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
