Horse murder has long term consequences.

Mu Zeta posted:The Good Wife is the best show airing where people don't get brutally murdered. I've been considering starting on this recently. Does the show actually have characters I would want to root for? Because a hallmark of most popular dramas I see nowadays seems to be that everyone is a huge piece of poo poo and I refuse to spend my time with them.

Yeah I like all the main characters. Alan Cumming joins the show later on and he's my favorite. Sort of a Josh Lyman/Rahm Emanuel type character. If you watch The Sopranos pretty much every mob boss plays a judge on this show at some point.

Joramun posted:True Detective is good but it doesn't hold a candle to Hannibal. Hannibal is on another level entirely. There's few productions that are in the same league as Hannibal, in any medium, and I can't think of anything that's ever aired on television. A few movies, sure, but Hannibal brings something to TV that I've never personally witnessed.

I think you're forgetting about "this generation’s most original, audacious, and poignant depictions of the twenty-something experience." Motherfucking Thought Catalog, Of Course, Fukuyama Was Right, This Is the End of History posted:From its debut at South by Southwest two years ago this month, Girls has emerged as this generation’s most original, audacious, and poignant depictions of the twenty-something experience. After 3 seasons and 10 Emmy nominations, it continues to grow in popularity while expanding its relevance for viewers of all ages. To paraphrase Richard Nixon, culture-shaping - Jesus Christ!

If that's part of the "twenty-something experience" then I've been doing my twenties wrong, apparently.

grrarg posted:That is a bit of rose-colored glasses, or you unconsciously forgot certain posts to protect your sanity. The Hannibal S1 thread had its share of creepy posts, too. I tried to read the thread in parallel with watching the show when it went up on Prime, but quit at this page. Honestly, it's pretty much that one poster seems to have just kind of wandered here right from tumblr. and I love Girls but man it has definitely not turned out to be a big defining series like it was originally hyped up to be. It just kind of stays in its niche.

PS3s HBOGO interface is pretty drat nice. Its a lot smoother than the 360 app in both aesthetics and function.

Aphrodite posted:As long as you're not on Comcast. ...Jesus, do they just not like having customers? And yeah, nice interface. I don't seem to be getting HD picture on it, though, even though I get it just fine on Netflix and Amazon, so I'm wondering if the servers are just getting slammed or Optimum's throttling it.

zoux posted:Oh, my friend, Comcast is about to have all the customers Ah, I see. Comcast's long-term strategy for building its subscriber base is to buy out other subscriber bases. It fits with Verizon and DirecTV's long-term strategies for building their respective subscriber bases, which is to let Comcast buy out other subscriber bases.

I'm pretty sure DirecTV's strategy is "be so awful Comcast is actually an attractive alternative". It's probably some kind of shady backroom monopoly deal.

Still kind of amazed that they're just allowed to do that, apparently. Thank god that law that was designed to specifically prevent this type of thing from happening got repealed a few years back. Man, what a coincidence!

Comcast's whole strategy is to sell their own boxes that can play HBO/Go and other on demand services actually. It's one of the reasons why they're the major holdout on Roku for HBOGO integration.

Trailer Park Boys is doing 2 more Netflix exclusive seasons. Guarantee that's because people watched the poo poo out of the older seasons on there.

Have they already filmed any of Season 8? They announced it last year and were gonna put it on that pet video site they have going. Guess Netflix offered them a sweeter deal.

That seems like the kind of joke that would be really funny as part of a larger, multi-stage joke, and not noteworthy at all on its own, especially devoid of context.
