I actually haven't watched Sons of Anarchy yet but it does look pretty awesome.

The League? Archer?

Archer is pretty good but I didn't care much for Archer Vice, and I just don't find The League funny which is weird because it has one of the best casts I've seen in a comedy show in a long time.

Seriously though, Fargo is a really really good show, and it's only 10 episodes (unless they decide to make another season which would be terrible).

they are making another season. It could be good but still won't top Justified and prolly won't top the first season.

They'll probably want to make a third season if the ratings are still good, even though the premise will be tired out by then. Maybe they can call the third season Fargo Vice and set it in Miami. They could even save money by just re-cutting Dexter episodes.

Fargo Vice actually would be pretty cool if it's anything like Miami Vice. Archer Vice was doomed from the getgo :colbert:

next season is the last. probably a good time to end it. last season was pretty good but you can tell it's getting toward the end of it's life. I think they can go out with a Shield-like bang and it could be their best season yet.


vvvvv yeah. the only other show that I can think of that got better each season was Psych. Maybe Breaking Bad too though that started out awesome and stayed awesome.

Watch it. I thought it would just be a dumb procedural show, but just better than average for being on FX, but the writing got better on it every year, which NEVER happens. It's really good.

I know. I've seen up through season 3, but thought the series ended there so I stopped looking.

I checked out The Strain because I like Guillermo Del Toro (I'm a big fat dumb nerd baby), and despite really wanting a good vampire show that isn't all about sexuality everything about The Strain screams mediocre.

same. except I don't give a poo poo about vampires, I was just hoping for a good show.

strain is more like one of those 90s stephen king book->tv series except with a veneer of a higher budget and slightly (but not much) higher tiered casting

When does the killing get good? I tried to watch it last year but fell asleep during the second episode. Also as long as fx keeps airing american horror story, the strain is the least stupid thing on the channel.

Hear it's terrible. But I guess you should check it out for yourself.

Louie's the best show I've watched on FX.

The Shield was ridiculous, but great.

Fargo was good, but had some really dumb stuff (Billy Bob Thornton being able to magically do everything up until the last episode, those two hired killers, some forced quirkiness).

I need to catch up on Justified.

oh right, forgot about Louie. The first couple seasons were really good. But I think the last season was kinda bad personally. His past ones were awkward and sometimes humbling life skits, but they were usually hearthfelt and depressing/awkward-funny; and even though it's still similar it feels it's missing some element that made the other seasons good (and funny). I lost interest after about 5 eps and haven't really felt the urge to finish the rest :shrug:

agreed. Justified is so good and FX's best, Fargo is a very close second and sometimes better but it also has only had 1 season so far so next season could suck horribly.

I kinda liked the strain at first, but I gave it up around ep4 or 5. the writing/characters are stupidly bad. the predictable vagina started crying about killing PEOPLE and there has to be another way!!!; the custody thing is loving dumb because who cares about that poo poo in 2014; some gay mexican dude and his boring junkie brother and fat friend escapes; sean astin is a gay whiny beta pussy; and too much boring lovely written personal drama and forgettable+unlikable characters.

Waldo frey is about the only semi interesting character and that's because he only shows up for a couple seconds. just give me sword slashing zombie-worm people.

I was dissapointed in this past season of justified. Kind of glad this upcoming one is the last, as the death of Elmer kind of sapped the goodness from it

~fartz~
They're not technically vampires, more like a parasite that shares similar qualities and weaknesses as vampires. However all their weaknesses have scientific explanations and aren't just mystical handwaving. Like they can be killed by sunlight and silver because of the antibacterial properties of silver and UV rays. The hivemind is a little bit of mystical handwaving though.

They're vampires with zombie intelligence, but they're led by full blown vampires.

Tyrant is a good show that has it's pacing ruined by commercials.

Careful. A lot of people hate the comic and I'm still not entirely sure why. It ain't that great but it's far from a waste of time.

Because they all have a hard on for Daryl Dixon (Or whatever the hillbilly with a cross bow is named) and are upset he isn't in the comic.

That's my guess anyway.
