Tobias Beecher and Verne Schillinger's relationship is like a sexually violent Tom and Jerry marathon.

I didn't even realize GLOW s3 was out until it popped up on Netflix when I was searching for the new Chappelle. Gonna start that shit this weekend.

slik 09-06-2019 03:23 PM

None but soon to be AEW and AHS

XL 09-06-2019 05:46 PM

I'm about to start watching Pennyworth....looked kindof interesting. I'll report back when I've watched some eps.

Seanny One Ball 09-09-2019 10:01 AM

Started Lilyhammer, seems pretty fun so far.

Seanny One Ball 09-09-2019 11:14 AM

Nearly finished Oz. Must be the third or fourth time I've seen it but man I'll tell you the list of shows that owe their content to Oz is lengthy and eclectic.

Bad News Gertner 09-10-2019 04:23 PM

The second season of Sunderland Til I Die is supposed to be released this fall on Netflix.

My favourite new series that I discovered. Boy was it ever good

El Vaquero de Infierno 09-10-2019 05:02 PM

I've just watched the first episode of Carnival Row, and it was pretty decent; I was expecting both Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne to annoy me, but surprisingly they did not. It has Jared Harris in it, which is always a plus.

Also at the beginning of the third season of The Magicians, which remains rather watchable, but mainly due to the hotties.

Destor 09-10-2019 06:04 PM

Thought the first two eps of carnival row sucked honestly but after that its very good

Bobholly138 09-11-2019 03:04 AM

Got on Season 9 of the US version of Shameless. It finally hit Netflix. Now I gotta force myself to goto sleep instead of watching all 14 episodes in a row.

And fuck OZ. I tried to get into that shitty show 4 times and hated it. But then I have found most HBO shows to be way over-rated.

Seanny One Ball 09-11-2019 11:29 AM

If it wasn't for OZ, HBO may never have dared put money into shows like The Sopranos and The Wire and if they had there's an argument to be made that they would have been neutered.

OZ might not be the greatest show ever made, but it's one of the most important with regards to the HBO boom and definitely a catalyst for increasing levels of graphic content in other programming.

It's as important to hard drama as anything is.

El Vaquero de Infierno 09-11-2019 11:47 AM

Six Feet Under is the best of the HBO shows; those that disagree suck cock by choice.

Seanny One Ball 09-11-2019 12:27 PM

It has one of the all time great endings

Destor 09-11-2019 12:40 PM

I think people typically fail to contextualize art. If you didnt watch something as it aired, for example, you cant appreciate the landscape to really take in just how ahead of its time something like Oz was.

Seanny One Ball 09-11-2019 03:48 PM

Some of the storylines have to be seen to be believed. The Aryan brother Robson getting Afro-American cadaver gum transfusions and being removed from the brotherhood because of his perceived impurity is particularly mad.

This.

I loved Oz, but I watched it as it aired (on Channel 4 in the UK, not sure how delayed that was compared to original airing). I’ve tried to get into The Wire but dropped off in season 3. I doubt that would’ve happened if I’d watched it as it aired.

Watched the hell out of OZ and Spawn. And sometimes Arli$$. But mostly OZ and Spawn.

I loved Lilyhammer.

And, speaking of context, similar to OZ with HBO, it was one of the first "exclusive" shows under the Netflix produciton banner for "original series" selections instead of just swiping premade collections that may or may not be currently running on other networks. It isn't perfect, but it was successful enough to encourage the tread into what would become the cultural juggernaut in House of Cards and go all in on that concept in the years to come.

I'm leery at such a statement, only because people said the same thing about Hemlock Grove, and Christ, that was a harder watch for me than season 1 of Iron Fist. I couldn't get into it at all.


At a suggestion from a friend, I am going to attempt to watch In The Flesh. We'll see how that goes. I (usually) trust her judgment.

Nicky Fives 09-13-2019 04:24 AM

Binged Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Very good.

Droford 09-13-2019 06:12 AM

I'm gonna start watching Undone on Amazon

I quit halfway through. Forgot what loose ends they were even trying to tie up. Just seeing now that they made a new season 2 years ago, what's with that

The first season was really good but everything after was wildly convoluted and stupid.

With Carnival Row the issue is they dont give you back story until ep 3 so you have no characters you have any reason to root for. Once they establish the stakes its honestly really good.

Its the best show currently airing

El Vaquero de Infierno 09-17-2019 05:56 PM

I hear they are looking to reboot Battlestar Galactica (again) and Saved By The Bell.

WTF on both counts!? I loved Saved By The Bell as a child, but that show is going to mean nothing to the kids of today.

Destor 09-17-2019 06:05 PM

You could modernize it pretty easily. The premise is timeless...other than single camera anyhow

El Vaquero de Infierno 09-17-2019 06:08 PM

It is just so wrong.

First they butcher Transformers, then Ninja Turtles, and now they cast their eyes to Saved by the Bell; is there no part of my childhood these people won't violate.

Lock Jaw 09-17-2019 07:02 PM

I heard another report that Battlestar Galactica will not be a reboot, but another story told in that universe.

I do hear that they want to reboot The Office, though....

Lock Jaw 09-21-2019 10:39 PM

Finally finished the last season of The Flash and Arrow.... figured I should catch up before the new seasons are upon us....

I'm pretty hyped for Crisis, but also think it might not be too good.

El Vaquero de Infierno 09-25-2019 12:48 PM

Trying Patriot at the moment; too early to tell what I think of it.

Destor 09-26-2019 12:11 AM

Patriot is 5 fucking stars. Giveit time to get going. Absolute aces.


Watching After Life. Im enjoying it.

RP 09-26-2019 09:47 AM

I started watching Altered Carbon. I'm 2 episodes in. I love the actor in it. But i'm not sure if i'm gonna like this show or not yet.

Ortegas hotness should be illegal

rez 09-27-2019 12:13 PM

Good Omens on Prime

Creepshow tv series on Studder (free trialing that shit)

I still need to watch the last 3 or so episodes of GLOW season 3.

If they are going to pretend to be in Luxembourg, they might want to stop having shots of some of Prague's well known tourist sights.

Destor 09-27-2019 02:19 PM

Thats only a problem for Europeans

Destor 09-27-2019 02:19 PM

The rest of us have never even heard of Luxembourg

Seth82 09-29-2019 03:56 PM
