tv shows what u into

[Kazza]

Re-watching Daria, i love this show, wished i pay more attention to it when i was growing up and attending school.

[Jay-Tron]

Guess I should say I've become a fan of The Big Bang Theory this year. I'm gonna blame Penny (Kaley Cuoco) because she's hot... and I find the show to be funny as well.

[Kazza]

I despise BBT and what it has become now... Give The Community a go, it is way smarter in its approach when delivering humor and referencing materials.

[Gutsman Heavy]

yeah give commiunty a go, just be very wary of season 3.

[5FDP]

I'm gonna blame Penny (Kaley Cuoco) because she's hot...

I'd agree with that... in a bogan sorta way.

[jazzcomp]

I'd agree with that... in a bogan sorta way.
BBT all the way.... :) Awards and everything...

It gives all guys a punters chance at a hot girl :)

Purely entertainment to me....
At some point everything becomes commodified.

[tron07]

The new season of BBT seems kinda stale to me

[Cat]

I can't stand 'Big Bang Theory'.

It just didn't 'click' for me. I also hate the obnoxious laugh track.

I've got to champion 'Ink Master' again. The competition is genuinely interesting, the challenges are fresh and innovative, it doesn't have much of the usual reality BS, and it never fails to entertain. And you don't need to have any knowledge of tattoos and tattoo art to enjoy it (my friends and I are proof of that). A selection of America's best tattoo artists battling to become 'Ink Master' and get 100 grand. There's some great art. It's now in season 2. I recommend starting from season one, just because it was great too.

Also if anyone is interested, I'm selling the first season set of the awesome 'Avengers:Earth's Mighties Heroes' blu-ray set, with the exclusive steelbook packaging. Great show, unwanted purchase - $38. (I paid $56) Send me a PM if you're interested.

Probably one of the only things that you and I can agree on :D:D

agree with this... for the new season.

Latest ep of The Walking Dead was gut wrenching (literally!)

[5FDP]

Latest ep of The Walking Dead was gut wrenching (literally!)

Watching it tonight. Can't wait :D

[Kazza]

Latest ep of The Walking Dead was gut wrenching (literally!)

My friend explained in the comic version, its much more climatic/shocking, but the episode was quite entertaining, but felt more like fan service.

[Bidoofdude]

I do not like the Big Bang Theory one bit...
The only Sheldon that I know and always will know is Josh Nichols' pet turtle. (D&J)
HURUMPH

[Kazza]

Finished Homeland s1, the payoff towards the end was sufficient

[Bidoofdude]

I watched just one big bang theory episode yesterday. The only thing I like about it is the references to geek culture. Nothing else. At all.

[Slag]

Watching it tonight. Can't wait :D

Pretty much our Monday ritual... and American Horror Story is just so twisted this season.. I can't choose which one i like best ATM

[5FDP]

For those that are into Burn Notice, a reminder that new eps aired in the US last Friday (our Friday, not theirs). It was a double episode, 11 & 12. I've only watched episode 11 so far and it's awesome :cool: So missed this show!


Pretty much our Monday ritual... and American Horror Story is just so twisted this season.. I can't choose which one i like best ATM

Our ritual is...

Monday - Dexter
Tuesday - Walking Dead
Wednesday - Revenge (for the wife)
Thursday - Supernatural
Friday - Big Bang Theory
Saturday - Free or movie night
Sunday - Burn Notice

:D

[Cat]

Oh cool, didn't realise Burn Notice was back.

This week's Ink Master was great. 'Star Wars' was the theme for both challenges.

And Blood And Chrome is available, the first few parts. It's blocked to Aussies though, so you have to download it from pirate sites. Way to encourage your fans to use illegal resources, SyFy Channel...

It's great seeing all the ships again, and it was a fantastic moment seeing the Galactica again for the 'first' time, brand new and with a lot more guns and armour than we're used to. Makes sense, as we only saw it previously at the end of its life, after being decommissioned.

[gamblor916]

American Horror Story Asylum is seriously creepy.

[Kazza]

Watched newest Walking Dead, oh how i love the beginning of the episode, however the comic book makes it a bit more shocking.

Sounds like you've got thing sorted then.:)

Yeah:rolleyes:. Great, isn't it

[Kazza]

Giving Hell on Wheels a chance, it's ok, hopefully it builds up to being a good show that will keep my attention.

[jazzcomp]

Monday - Supernatural
Tuesday - Big Bang Theory/Once Upon a Time/Nikita
Wednesday - Grimm

[Kazza]

Everyone is up to date with walking dead? Cause the end of the first part of s3 was pretty good. Finally the comic book character i was waiting for was introduced.

[5FDP]

Supernatural and Walking Dead are on mid-season hiatus and Burn Notice and Dexter are finishing in a couple of weeks :( :( :( Still won't get me to watch commercial TV ;) :p

[SkyWarp91]

So tempted to order a Sons of Anarchy jacket, even if it's as much as a Fort Max...

[snaketales]

woo hoo found Garth Merenghi's Darkplace on dvd.

[Gutsman Heavy]

So tempted to order a Sons of Anarchy jacket, even if it's as much as a Fort Max...

Only 1 season left, hold out for a complete set.

[Kazza]

Friends and I just finished watching dexter s7, I really enjoyed the development of Debra, probably the only part of s7 I even cared about watching.

Also finished Hell on Wheels s1, which was enjoyable towards the end, but it is rather slow paced, if you want a western tv series it is worth a go.

[5FDP]

Season finale of Burn Notice tonight :(


Friends and I just finished watching dexter s7, I really enjoyed the development of Debra, probably the only part of s7 I even cared about watching.

Yeah, I gotta say that I was less impressed with season 7 when compared to how the series was going previously. It seemed to lack a main protagonist that previous seasons had and rely on the relationship between Dexter and his sister to drive the plot. I'm starting to think that ending the show with season 8 wouldn't be all that bad.

[liegeprime]

That's coz Dexter killed them all already :D:D:D

[jazzcomp]

Watched Miss Universe last nyt :)

[Bidoofdude]

I watched a tiny bit of recorded Miss Universe (winner bit) when I was getting a snack. Looked overrated to me.

[5FDP]

I hate television programming in Dec/Jan :mad: That is all.

[gamblor916]

Just use the time to catch up or rewatch other stuff. I've been rewatching The Walking Dead and getting annoyed by Dale, the kid and Lori all over again.

[Mythirax]

Only 1 season left, hold out for a complete set.

From what I know they're planing on a season 7 as well. To tell the whole story.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Hmm, not sure if i like that, the show seems be be coming to a head, hate to see it dragged out.

[Mythirax]

Hmm, not sure if i like that, the show seems be be coming to a head, hate to see it dragged out.

I thought the same thing. But 7 seasons is what they wanted from the start I believe. So I guess if that's the case, they have the story content to pull it off. After that though, I just think it'd become silly.

[SkyWarp91]

So I just finished watching Battlestar Galactica, the re-imagined series recently and I thought it was brilliant television despite the somewhat over-reliance on religious undertrones. The characters are so real, the space battles are breathtakingly epic and the dialogue is so well done. Yes there were a few dodgy episodes but overall I really enjoyed the series.

So I decided to watch the prequel show that came out after, 'Caprica'.

And my gods, IT IS BORING. SO FREAKING BORING.

Most of the characters are unlikeable and there isn't much to relate to them - heck even young Bill Adama seems like a brat despite becoming a badass leader in BSG. I think what one of the major mistakes that this series made was that it took itself WAY too seriously unlike Battlestar. Yes Battlestar may have had overly corny moments at times there were also many moments when the show had fun with itself as well.

I guess it's one of those things writers and filmmakers should consider when trying to create a story, not to take yourself so seriously that you forget to have fun.

I got the BSG box set for Christmas after having seen none of it or the original series and I'm loving it so far, but I'm only just getting toward the end of the second season - one of the mates that recommended it to me says it gets a little bit like Lost, but in space (not to be confused with Lost in Space).

The religious undertones are annoying me a lot - I'm here for the space opera, the dogfights and the space carrier fighter pilot life, not your crazy prophecy crap lady.

Your mate is basically right about the last two seasons, though the final 3 episodes are KICKASS

you would like S3 then. :D

[Kazza]

That was just fan service they did to us, but in the comic it was so much better the way they approached it.

[gantz]

I was given a Sanity gift voucher for Christmas, went to use it yesterday and found the Complete Series of Earth 2 :D

Such an amazing show that had some great foundation, I guess there wasnt the audience for it at the time :(

[Mythirax]

I've started watching a new TV Show called Arrow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2193021/). So far I can't get enough of it. It's amazing :D:D:D And to top it off it has a comic been done with it side by side. To fill in some of the back story of other characters and such.

Anyone else seen any of it?

[gantz]

Yeah it's good, lotsa killing! Opposed to simply subduing.

I cant wait for more of the Green Arrows rogues gallery to show up, and quite a few have in the first 5 eps :)

[5FDP]

I haven't watched any of Arrow yet but everyone keeps telling me to. Maybe now that there's nothing on TV, I can invest some time checking it out.

[Mythirax]

It's been fantastic so far. I just read the comics that are being released side by side with it. They actually relate to the show. And I must say they've really done a great job, with what they've actually done with them. It shows so much back story of other characters and little things. So they're great to have along side a show like this :D

OK, you've convinced me. It's only 9 episodes in so it shouldn't be too hard to knock them off in a week :D

[Mythirax]

OK, you've convinced me. It's only 9 episodes in so it shouldn't be too hard to knock them off in a week :D

Hopefully you enjoy it. I myself did the 9 episodes in one sitting, and so did my sister.

Good luck :D

[SkyWarp91]

I too have not seen Arrow, but my brother highly suggested it because it is pure awesomeness.

So I'm still watching Caprica, more than half way through and after reading one internet comment about how the show gets better....

...well it does.... ....AT BEING WORSE.

THIS SHOW IS JUST PURE FACEPALM.

What kind of terrorist leader hires a bunch of emotionally unstable teenagers to do their bidding?

The Italian looking folk are coincidentally from a planet notoriously known for being involved in the Mob?!?

How can I relate to:

- A teenage girl who hates her super rich parents so much that she runs away ALL to join pretentious religion? (Zoe)

- A ruthless cult-leader who will kill everyone who stands in her way to reach to the top? (Clarice)

- A teenage girl who cannot die and just walks around killing people? (Tamara)

- A rich man who intentionally is responsible for many murders and yet thinks that his life or that of his family is above all others? (Daniel)

- Another teenage girl who commits terrorist acts to maintain freindship with another girl who treats her like crap? (Lacy)

- A high-class lawyer that you actually never see in court and doesn't really anything significant but follow his criminal brother around intimidating others? (Joseph)

- A hitman? (Sam)

At least Battlestar had its relatable characters, but this is a rant long and satisfying enough for moi.

[Mythirax]

Least I can keep Caprica on my don't watch list still :D

[5FDP]

Well, I'm 2 episodes into Arrow and I must say that I'm impressed! It has many similarities to The Dark Knight - recluse rich guy comes home to avenge his father and takes on a superhero persona, but that's not such a bad thing. Can't wait to watch the rest. Thanks for the recommendation Mythirax :)

[SkyWarp91]

Least I can keep Caprica on my don't watch list still :D

Because I bought the DVD set I want to watch it to the end to make the most of my purchase.

I would say the show gets increasingly better episode 4 - 5. Due to a few things that happen ;) Glad you like it!

Well then, that makes every bit of sense. I'd do the same if I had already purchased it :D

Homeland s2 is even more enjoyable than s1.

Now up to episode 7 of Arrow. This show really knows how to get you hooked.

I've not purchased here myself before, not sure where else you can buy them.

[Kazza]

Homeland Season 2 was amazing! And the ending :eek::eek::eek:

I just watched the last ep of s2, it felt like they were wrapping things up, than BAM;) All I can say is I have been thoroughly entertained by both seasons.

[Kazza]

With Homelands done for the moment, i have been recommended by a friend to watch Firefly, which i'm currently enjoying. It's space+cowboys/pirates for those who are not sure what the show is about, obviously with more depth.

[5FDP]

I have completely caught up with Arrow now :D Only problem is, now I have to wait for new eps :(

Here's a recommendation of my own - The Following. It reminds me of a cross between Dexter and 24. Fast-paced and thrilling.

I just saw the trailer for it, so time to get my hands on it. Trailer looked fantastic.

I just finished the Fringe series finale. So happy that the show got an ending, but so sad for wanting more :( As for the show itself, loved it to bits :D Tempting to buy some of the extra goodies for it on amazon etc.

[The_Damned]

Anyone watched Banshee looks good

[Kazza]

Well cause i have been listening to Jan Hammer, naturally I'm watching Miami Vice and I'm quite enjoying it as a series for a buddy-cop show based in the 80's and the score is just so groovy and funky.

[The_Damned]

Spartacus: War of the Damned.
Swords, blood and sweaty dudes. Good stuff :D

yep awesome first episode cant wait for the next one.

Quite enjoy this weeks walking dead, re-introduce Morgan.

[Mythirax]

Gah, just read multiple spoilers in here. ;(

[Bartrim]

Well after lots of nagging from friends I sat down and watched "The Walking Dead" I sat and watched all of season 1 and maybe it was because everyone I know hyped it up and told me how fantastic it was but my reaction was... meh. I don't really enjoy any of the characters and not enough zombie action to compensate for all the drama. I'll probably keep watching hoping it gets better.

Now to hide from the backlash:p

I've been watching the Americans (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2149175/). Intense show. There's so many places it could go plus it's set in that most magical of decades.

If you have read the comics, the show is inferior to the comics. But yeah Rick's character development is quite good throughout the seasons, and the morals of society are challenge by the need to survive.

[gamblor916]

Banshee. I had my doubts but this show was so brutal and over the top. Really enjoyed this season.

Was amazing wasn't it :D

[lancalot]

Is the game like left4dead?

no...it more of an action adventure game...

[lancalot]

it more story driven puzzles and morale choices (you basicly have to choose who you want to save! it a hard choice when they both chartcer that you like etc...) with the odd zombie poping out for you to shot at !! :D
It was actually vote game of the year for 2012 :cool:

[Kazza]

I took a look on wiki, it does seem very interesting, but the game doesnt come out to may this yr. I'll probably pick it up when it's released.

:confused: it out awhile ago ? it got 5 episode ....so you buy one epi at a time if you want as well.... i played it on the PC one :)

http://www.telltalegames.com/walkingdead

[lancalot]

Did any one watch Doll House ...? directed by Joss Whedon and star Eliza Dushku ...i wish they continue the series ...Season one stared god then was all over the place as but at the end of season one they acutally had a very good cliff hanger and then it got really good in season 2 they were just finding the right direction of where the story was heading

I'm really enjoying the Americans, its about russian spies in the USA back in the day. I also watched the first episode of Bates Motel, its like a prequel to Psycho.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Did any one watch Doll House ...
Saw some ads for that, it looked like it had a lot of potential, but did look confused so I avoided.

Watched the season 5 of Merlin, and enjoyabel romp that wasn't the greates, but wasn't ridiculous either.

Didn't end like I expected it to either.

[jazzcomp]

The Checkout on ABC

[The_Damned]

watched the first ep of game of thrones
and the finale of the walking dead(didnt see that coming)

[5FDP]

I'm gonna miss The Walking Dead :(

[Kazza]

I didn't feel the pay off of the season finale for walking dead. Lately season finales have been feeling anti-climatic. (But than again, i'm comparing it to what really happens in the comic series)

[5FDP]

There's a new show starting today based on the Silence of the Lambs movie called Hannibal. While I am looking forward to watching it, it's just another in a long line of serial killer type shows already on TV e.g. The Following, Cult, Dexter.

I got to admit that I don't necessarily look forward to season finales. All they are is another episode with no definitive ending (unless they're ending the show). It's just an 8 month long hiatus.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I just finished watching American Horror Story:Asylum. Enjoyed it quite a bit I have to admit. Although the aliens were never explained too well, but it was a good show nonetheless.

[Kazza]

Half way through season 3 of game of thrones, its freaking awesome. Find myself cursing the fact I have to wait each week for a new episode though.

[M-bot]

Been watching Hannibal. Brilliant and nightmare inducing all at once.

[CBratron]

Burn Notice
Community
TF Prime

Usually I'll wait for the whole season to be available, buy it and then watch it over a long weekend.

Also rediscovering some syfy series like Warehouse 13, Falling Skies and Alphas.

[SMHFConvoy]

Alphas was awesome and then it didn't get renewed for season 3 :mad:

Ep 4 is apparently available on the network's website and YouTube channel... but only available to US residents. It does continue the ongoing story so why they figured it was a good plan to not show it is a bit mystifying. There are ways around it though, thank goodness.;)

From what I have read that's only a 6 part web episode totalling 22 mins - about half of what a normal episode would be. I've also heard that ep 4 - unaltered, will be airing in other parts of the world either today or tomorrow so there's hope it will be available soon. I can't bring myself to watch ep 5 without seeing 4 first.

The decision not to show it in the US was influenced by the Boston bombings.

I've seen the 22mins in question, hoping to get to Ep5 in the next day or so. 'Ep4' seemed to have pertinent bits to the arcs of several characters and the contributes to the ongoing storyline quite considerably, I wouldn't have thought it was so easily skipped.

It seems a bit extreme to not show it due to the events in Boston. Violent incidents (especially gun deaths) are a frighteningly regular occurrence in the US, cancelling an episode of an admittedly violent show in response to such an event seems bizarre. I mean, they know these things happen all the time, right? And they know what their show is all about. If they're so concerned about the reaction to their show, why put it on at all? I'm not sure I understand the logic.

Sadly, it may be a moot point - ratings in the US don't appear stellar, but I'm hoping it lasts more than just one season.

[Bartrim]

I started watching Bates Motel. Only 7 episodes out so far. Quite interesting. For those of you who don't know, it's a slapstick comedy about the comedic capers of Norma Bates and her son Norman as they try to set up a motel and all the zany antics they get up to:p

Seriously it's a prequel to Psycho but set in modern times (if you get my drift) and shows how Norman sees and hears things that aren't there causing you to wonder whats real and whats not... also the mother is really creepy.

Watched the full version of episode 4 of Hannibal. Don't understand why the US felt the need to ban it. Seen much worse on TV.

wiki says

Removal from KSL-TV

The series was pulled by Salt Lake City, Utah's KSL-TV (Channel 5) as of April 29, 2013 after four episodes were aired, and will air in that market beginning with the May 4 episode during late night Saturdays after Saturday Night Live on KUCW, Salt Lake City's CW affiliate.[61] KSL-TV is owned by the commercial broadcasting arm of the LDS Church, and has refused several NBC series in the past due to violent or sexual content. Hannibal was pulled after Salt Lake Tribune television writer Scott D. Pierce criticized the station for refusing to carry NBC's sitcom The New Normal due to its sexual humor, while allowing the violence of Hannibal to air without any objections; the article led to viewer complaints to KSL over the series.

Sadly no, that is the very 1st thing I checked when the package containing this mob arrived - I was slightly disappointed but in reality it has been nearly 18 years since he was likely opened. :o

I wonder if there is a way of renewing it somehow?...

Sat through and watch s1 of Angry Beavers, god the comedy in it was fantastic, it was smart, same goes for most of the other cartoons. Too bad cartoons nowadays are not as good or intelligent in the exposition of their humor. Hey Arnold made me teary eyed and hits me emotionally with a few episodes, it will forever be my favorite Nickelodeon cartoon.

I don't watch much TV but one of the few shows I make time to watch each week is the new season of Mythbusters.

Last night had to be the best episode I watched in YEARS! No wackiness, no little animated cartoons shown 10 times over, no annoying build team (I like Carie but the other two give me the irrits), just Jamie & Adam trying to traverse a desert, canyon and river only using what they could make out of duct tape and bubble wrap - awesome stuff!

[Bartrim]

Finally started watching Arrow... more importantly got the wife to start watching Arrow. Now she is hooked :D I love all the D.C little references.

Just finished watching Spartacus: War of the Damned early hours of this morning with the wife. What a great show it has been. Sad to see it end.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Really not sold on Shield after ep 1, but Arrow had a godly turn around, so I'll hang in there.

[Cat]

I'll give SHIELD some time. Hopefully it'll pick up.

Otherwise I'm just watching Ink Master (I don't know why but I've always liked this show, and I'm not into tattoos at all), Boardwalk Empire, and umm.....hmm...that's about it.

Wish there were more new Whose Line eps, but at least it's getting a second season, which hopefully won't have so many 'celebrity' guests.

Dexter finished last week, and uggh I don't think anyone wants anymore of that disaster.

I'll give 'Masters Of Sex' a go sometime soon. It's meant to be pretty good. For those who don't know, it's about two doctors who did all that research into human sex and discovered basically everything we know nowadays. It's not a porno.

[Gouki]

The Michael J Fox Show is surprisingly good. Funny, charming and not at all shying away from Fox. I just forgot how much I loved the man. I really do. He's just so full of life and energy and makes being the most charming man on TV seem so effortless.

Oh. I've heard about this thing called Breaking Bad. Might be good. Should look into it. Or to read it another way: I've just started season three and will hunt down anyone who spoils.

[jazzcomp]

wasn't impressed with the Blacklist but I'll try to see if it gets more interesting.

Missed Shield, hope it's on the website somewhere.

[5FDP]

Really? Of all the new shows out, it's one of the best IMO. Much better than Hostages. Also hooked on Sleepy Hollow ATM and like Gouki I'm up to season 3 of Breaking Bad.

I'm definitely sad to see Dexter go after so many years, but it needed to happen. Was getting quite predictable, but it still managed to keep me watching until the end so +1 for that :)

I thought Agents of Shield's pilot was pretty good so I have high hopes for ep 2 tonight. By comparison, Firefly's pilot made me put off the series for years before I finally watched the entire thing just recently.

Yeeeeah, on second thought, I just watched epsiode two of The Blacklist and you're right :o It was very samey compared to episode one, so much so that I can see them running out of ideas already.

[Wheelie]

just about to sit down and watch the new walking dead :D

Liked the first season, but it lost me after that. Found the comics to be a lot better

[Gouki]

The Walking Dead premiere was great. I really hope they can maintain this level of quality, because it was actually enjoyable on it's own merits. People are competent--if they get hurt or die, it's because they are in a very dangerous situation. For three seasons if people got hurt or died, sure it's a dangerous place, but for the most part they were morons (which was reiterated repeatedly while watching the catch up yesterday and the finale before the premiere)! They have fun banter instead of circular arguments of trust and "what do we do now"--Carol smirks, and calls Daryl 'pooky' while they flirt. Michonne smiles and acts like a person. Strong pacing, brilliant action (admittedly they have always done major set pieces like that well), and and intriguing cliffhanger made this an top notch premier.

And, Carol, I cannot praise her enough. She has gone from someone I hated, and thought was a real burden on the group to one of my favourites, and of the strongest characters on the show. Her teaching the kids self defence is needed, and important. She's a champion.

Started watching The Crazy Ones starring Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. It's the next series in long line of occupational comedies created by David E Kelley including L.A Law, Ally McBeal and Boston Legal except this time we're in an advertising agency instead of a courtroom.

Overall I'm finding myself watching this mostly for Robin Williams. It's good to see him on the screen again. I think this series is going to end up being cast driven like Ally McBeal as the most dramatic thing that could happen at an advertising agency is going broke? :confused: I'd be interested to see what direction they take to get longevity out of this show as, to me, the rope seems pretty short.

[Gouki]

Well worth it to see Kelly Clarkson having a ball playing a bitch version of herself and Sarah Michelle Gellar trying to belt out a tune.

Robin Williams is going to be tiring to watch week in and out though.

I still have to watch season two :o

Pick and choose episodes, or prepare to be very frustrated by the shows complete lack of momentum for most of the season. Great ending though.

True there was a couple of episode's that dragged along a little, overall I enjoyed season 2 though. I can see why some people wouldnt have enjoyed it, but I did. Season 4 is shaping up to be most exciting.

(I don't watch Beauty and the Geek, but the commercial they were showing for yesterday's episode had me just shake my head at how little knowledge some people leave school with)

One of my colleagues auditioned for the show (on the geek side). The geeks are given a completely new wardrobe that they have to wear and are instructed to act as awkward or nerdy as required. It's a pretty safe presumption the same level of control is applied on the beauty side so don't feel too bad. It's all showbiz.

To top it all off, he actually got tapped on the shoulder to audition after the producers saw his video application for the Amazing Race.

[VERT]

Just finished re watching all of Battle Star. Had forgotten just how amazing that show was. Sad I finished it. But I just can't get into Caprica I keep trying to watch it. Guess thats why it was short lived.

Add Sons of Anarchy to that list as well man! One of the best shows around.

I've still to watch Breaking Bad, but am watching the new Sons of Anarchy and catching up on Arrow.

Though Arrow does have admittedly bad acting and is too much about relationship drama it is a guilty pleasure to watch. (Plus the ladies are sexyyyy and the cameos from Deathstroke are awesome)

Also for anyone that's a fan of old-school badass-ery, brutal fights and frequent sex scenes I'd recommend the show Banshee. A great nod to the 80s type of action films.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Arrow has to be the greatest turn around in quality I've ever seen in a show, borderline un-watchable at the start, but by the end of season 1 I was hooked.

Agreed :) The first 5 episodes were pretty average but then it gets really interesting. I've started season 2 and so far it seems to be a lot darker i.e. more adult e.g. Doll Maker episode.

watched revolution. If the naivety of the daughter is truly part of her character, then she did it well. Because I'm annoyed at all the mistakes she makes and that she has better human values :D

So while marathoning through Arrow I've noticed something...

Almost every second episode Oliver Queen is eating at that burger joint but maintains supreme physical form for being a vigilante.

I'm calling BS... ...not that the rest of the show is unrealistic lol :p

Still enjoying it though, Green Arrow VS Torchwood Guy

[Cat]

I'm still thrilled that they're developing Hourman.

I wonder if he'll start off in Arrow, like they're doing with Flash?

I'm catching up on Criminal Minds as I've come to the party quite late. Last night I watched the 100th episode which is the climax of "The reaper" storyline. As a husband and father this episode was so intense. I'm still a bit rattled from it today.

[Gouki]

I think Bryan Cranston became one of my all time favourite actors with Breaking Bad. To the point where I watch old roles, and I can see just how great he is and how much effort is in his performances but I never really noticed. Even his MITM role is just amazing.

I'd strongly recommend only watching season 1, season 2 and onward they ditched Darabont, halved the budget while doubling the episodes, and it shows. People liked season 3, but I think it never recovered. There is some pleasure in seeing how stupid the characters act from time to time.

[twizz]

I just finished all 5 seasons of Friday Night Lights i thought it was good i've always liked Football movies.

That's very true. The wife and I were so addicted to Breaking Bad we couldn't go a night without watching it. We had other options but it was like 'meh, let's watch another episode of Breaking Bad' :p The hardest part was avoiding 6 years worth of spoilers. Kinda helps when all you watch is shows from the internet without ads ;)

Supernatural and Arrow are back :)

Plus Ultimate Fighter: Canada vs Australia debuted last night. Interesting show but two things that are problems. The MMA talent pool isn't deep enough so I don't think too many of the competitors will succeed in the UFC. Second thing is these shows usually thrive on hostility between the teams and coaches but Patrick Cote and Kyle Noke are too nice.

Supernatural is on another break (probably due to the Winter Olympics) but still... They just had their mid season break:mad:

Black Sails (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375692/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1). Pirates and violence. Good stuff.

The Musketeers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2733252/?ref_=nv_sr_1) - A 17th century pulp crime show. Too bad it probably won't get past 1 season now that the Cardinal is Dr Who.

Bought Dead Like Me season 1 & 2 at Parramatta Music fair a few months back. Forgot how much I loved that show. Mandy Patinkin is awesome, hence my sig :p

Hannibal returned with season 2 last weekend. I so want to like this show but he's so damn hard to understand at times due to his accent. Google a clip and you'll see what I mean.

I agree, though for me it was just so slow paced. I gave up after 3 episodes.

[llamatron]

True Detective. Wow! I watched the first ep last night and... wow! With two Hollywood A-listers, I hope they can keep it going.

True Detective is super good, new episode out today and last one comes out next week. Can't wait.


Another show that just started up is 'Rick & Morty'. Well worth watching.

I was surprised at how good Rick & Morty is. It's been on break but I think new eps start back up in a week or two. They've been putting them up on YouTube (legitimately) after they air.

Very pleased to have Hannibal back, easily one of the best new shows from last year.

Almost human is ending or has been ended. No more next season.

I love this show :( Hang on... can't find that it's been cancelled yet. Reveal your sources or they're just filthy lies :mad:

The wife and I just watched the first (and only so far) 14 episodes of The Blacklist. Really, really impressed with that show - first one in years where we couldn't stop watching! Clever plots, a good balance of action and intrigue, twists you don't see coming etc. And James Spader is da bomb - loved him and Shatner in Boston Legal :D

[Gouki]

Oh my, Les Revenants was captivating.

Currently on an old school Sci-Fi kick with Season one of SG-1 and The Dead Zone.

I love Anthony Michael Hall in The Dead Zone, and its refreshing to have most of the characters not just see him as some self proclaimed Clairvoyant.

And Stargate is as fantastic as I remember, though the nudity in the first ep was surprising :eek:

[Mythirax]

To me, nothing will ever beat Star Gate for Sci-Fi, oh how I miss it :(

Never seen Farscape?

[XMan]

Ooo totally forgot about Farscape! That has to be next for me.

[Mythirax]

Never seen Farscape?

I was going to watch it just for Ben Browder and Claudia Black. But never got around to it :o

Finished watching the first season of True Detective. My assessment - easily the best show on TV right now.

100% agree



never even heard of it - is the detective more reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes or Inspector Gadget? Either is fine with me as long as it's not some boring in between (though Sherlock with a helicopter that comes out of his hat does have a certain appeal :p)

Dooooo iiiiiiit! Funny, smart, heartbreaking, exciting, sexy (oh god, so sexy), tragic, beautiful, brilliant! Anymore words you'd like to describe it more? Pull the trigger on it, absolutely!

[Mythirax]

sexy (oh god, so sexy)

Hope we're not talking about Ben Browder :D -- Seems like I might have to give it a shot then.

To answer that may give too much away. The best advice I can give you is to sit down and watch it. You won't regret it and definitely won't be bored.

Thought I'd ask the hive mind :) what is a good animated series I can watch?

Any genre, but something with a great storyline helps

The Venture Bros. & Archer.
Also Adventure Time.

[CBratron]

I quite like Psycho-Pass. A 2012 anime in a world where brain scans can instantly determine your 'psycho-pass', a report on personality, mental state and criminal tendencies. If your crime coefficient rises too high, you are hunted down and arrested, sometimes with lethal force. This is old school sci- fi. Asking questions and poking holes in utopian/dystopian social systems.

Ben Browder, Claudia Black, Chi'ana, even Scorpy...

Also: Definitely Avatar: The Last Airbender, Adventure Time and Archer if you haven't seen them, XMan.

Will check 'em out!

Now THIS! sounds like something I'd love :D

Is there an English dub yet?
