marko35s Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 so what did everyone think of the final episode of wayward pines? seemed a bit rushed and condensed...but also open to a second season if the demand is there...but highly unlikelyFelt a bit cheated to be honest, I don't mind the way it turned out but at least show us how it got there.Felt like a director with a reputation for clever twists desperately trying to find a way to create his latest clever twist.
Stretch Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I feel like I am alone watching Rectify....and while on Season 3 already - I would still recommend giving it a go. Its slow...i'll make no bones about that...but the character development is leaps and bounds ahead of anything out there right now..add that to brilliant musical soundtrack and effects and you got a great show.. the trailer also doesn't really do it justice http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2183404/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Lurch the stalker Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Edit: Going to start with Dark Matter tomorrow night, and see how that goes.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4159076/I watched the first two episodes, can't say I was gripped by it, but will get round to watching the rest. Fruity 1
Odinson Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 So any new opinions on True Detective season 2? The show feels like it has (and probably always has been) a bad parody of season 1. The main murder plot is incomprehensibly complex. Scenes that are supposed to be dark and upsetting are absolutely laughable - "old man orgy" scene, I'm looking at you! Started on season 2 of The Strain. It's a bit cheesy, but entertaining enough to keep watching.
Odinson Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Any 2 Broke Girls fans here? Mainstream media tells me it is crude and makes use of stereotypes for its laughs, but I really enjoy it. I can watch Kat Dennings for hours. Gen 1

popcorn_skollie Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 on episode 6 of Mr Robot. Its frustratingly good. There's something about the way the protagonist narrates the series.Reminds me of the way JD Salinger writes.He is not telling a story to the audience. He is speaking to himself. An extraordinarily intelligent, socially anxious, borderline schizophrenic, manically depressed, drug addict struggling to navigate his moral compass as he tries to change the world behind the persona of someone who just wants to fit in. I only fear that a plot premise as compelling as this one might hold the writers back.It can only continue to be this gripping if the world really does sink into anarchy because of his actions. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/NFE_portrait/2015/04/mr_robot_fuck_society.jpg fanievb and Capricorn 2

Very well impressed so far.
Lexx Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I Just finished watching Secrets and Lies on HULU. Damn that was one twist I didn't expect....

I have to agree, they cannot hope to live up to season 1 - I'm still watching, I guess that means I should spend more time on the bike and less in front of the TV because that is an hour I am not gaining anything from. on episode 6 of Mr Robot.

I'm loving this show.
Stretch Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I have officially ditched true detective....and with halt and catch fire now finished my sundays have gone from 3 shows to only the brilliant Masters of Sex....so what do i need to add to it? Humans? or Mr Robot I think i am going to get the first episode of both and make a decision based upon that
