What show to start?


The Underdog

Recommended Posts

I liked it for awhile but the acting became a bit too melodramatic for my taste. Wonder which sibling ends up killing who at the end of Season Three. :ph34r:

i am going with Kevin getting the ax. Not sure how he's made it this far. Nine lives.

Not worth A new thread, but a box of Fluite Flakes was very prominent on Silicon Valley last night. Have no idea why.

They've appeared on several shows. I was watching something a few weeks ago and saw a box of the Chargers version he put out. It may be a prop master somewhere likes him.

They just cancelled Sense8 a few days ago.

 

I watched the first season and the New Year's episode from a few months ago, but haven't started the second season. I like it but can see how it's not popular with the general crowd. Also, I was reading somewhere a while back that it is a ridiculously expensive show to shoot. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

Just finished Bloodline S3 and it was torture to watch. My wife made me watch until the end. The second to last episode was trash, and the finale was pointless and meandering. I think I'm done with that show if they do S4.

 

I have House of Cards S5 in the chamber, but I'm reluctant to start it. Just so overwhelmed with all the political ridiculousness lately. Looking for something lighter maybe.

 

Shameless S7 was pretty good. William H. Macy is starting to carry that show to some extent, but it's still pretty funny.

agree on Bloodline S3. Very disappointing ending. Not worth the investment I put in! It's done though, no season 4.

 

I was also disappointed with House of Cards season 5. Boring.

I'm finally taking the time to watch The Wire, actually I am piggybacking off my son watching it so I am not going in order nor am i watching each episode, but holy crap. What a powerful show, such character depth, such 'seemingly' insight into the mind of drug dealers. Amazing show.

I thought Season 5 was just ok. It definitely had some great Frank Underwood turn to the camera comments. The problem is the real political world has been so crazy lately that the show struggles to keep up.

i heard about season 2 and that's what prompted me to watch it. Plus it's only 8 episodes. I can't commit to starting anything multi-season at this point, so close to football haha.

I just started Sons of Anarchy on netflix last night. That should keep me busy for a while.

 

You'll love the first 4-5 seasons...I was pretty disappointed in how the series ended. Still worth watching all the way through. The first few seasons are incredible.

I don't know what I'm expecting, but it feels like it has had a pretty slow start. I'm at most 4 episodes in though, so I'm sure it'll pick up.

I'm looking forward to The Orville...

 

Me as well. Though I would have rather had seen the Always Sunny gang get their spaceship show (it had a very similar premise), but Seth is a space nerd so he should make it fun.

 

I'm amused watching SM try everything to become a leading man though, that's the fun B story to watch with this series for me.

What if the North had not won the Civil War?

 

HBO's 'Confederate' TV show: What if South won Civil War and still had slavery?

In a lot of ways I don't envy Weiss and Benioff. Grant it, they're dealing with "up town" problems, but it has to be daunting choosing which project to follow up Thrones with. After all, Thrones (more than likely) will be the pinnacle of their careers, whatever comes next will be ridiculously hyped and almost surely will never be able to live up to it - meaning even if the next show is good, they're going to get raked over the coals for it not being Thrones.

 

I expected them to play it safe with their next show, but clearly not. Jumping into an alt-history drama is a surprise - especially one as rife with controversy as this one seems to be - they're setting themselves up to be the butt of a lot of jokes if this flops. Good on both of them for taking a creative risk.

 

I'll be curious to see how this show develops.

The backlash has already begun - and the pilot hasn't even been written.

Definitely an interesting premise for a show. High risk. High reward. Will be interesting to see how they write a show without a book to fall back on. Let's hope the Dorne plot with Jaime and Bronn is just an outlier.

 

I wonder if they're going to do a 5th. Season 4 was a good watch, but the writing has definitely gotten lazier. Bad guys able to do impossible things and Sherlock just figuring stuff out on a whim.

 

Seasons 1 and 2 were more grounded.

 

The 2nd episode of season 4 was excellent. The other two were the weakest in the series but still worth a watch. Anybody looking for a great BBC Netflix show I'd highly suggest this.
