What TV shows are you watching?

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 unlikely

Felt 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.

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

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.

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.  :drool:

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.

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.
