I just binged all 6 seasons of the Larry Sanders Show. Why hadn't anyone told me about this show?! It has been catapulted into one of my top two favorite comedies of all time. Rip torn and Jeffrey tambor are perfect in every scene. Every part of this show is amazing. I can't stop grinning

Unzip and Attack posted:I loved Bloodline season 1. I was fortunate to go in with zero expectations (I just saw the show in my queue and figured what the hell) so I was blown away by how good it was. Ben Mendelsohn went from "guy I've never heard of" to "this dude is one of the best actors alive" in the span of those episodes. Season 2 is similar to season 1 in that it's pretty slow and kind of meh and then each episode is a bit better than the last. Difference is I had no expectations for season 1 but for 2 I was hyped up so it was a little disappointing at first. But once finished it's a great season as well.

Barreled through the last episodes of a couple shows, especially things I had forgotten to finish. Deep Space Nine Season 4 - Immensely rewarding. The willingness to put the characters in uncomfortable positions and examine the flaws of the Star Trek world is amazing. Luke Cage - Decent and fun, but not the best of the Marvel shows. The soundtrack of Marvel stuff isn't usually great, so the fact this soundtrack is so incredible is really worth mentioning. Orphan Black Season 3 - is it worth continuing this? Getting through this season was a struggle and it seems like it's becoming less about the fun characters and more about sci-fi conspiracies. Allison and Helena's stories were the only ones I enjoyed. I'd probably want to drop it entirely but Ferdinand beating the poo poo out of his buddy while cheerfully telling the heroes he's switching sides was such a great end to the season that it's tempting me to keep going.

I consider season 3 of orphan black to be one of the better ones. Season 4 does indeed continue to introduce even more STUFF so that may bother you. On the other hand season 5 has been confirmed as the final one so I still have high hopes for it to end well.

Oh dang. Well if I'm that close to the end, I might as well stick with it. By adding more stuff, is there entire new conspiracies or does it focus back on Neolution? Because there only being three groups within Dyad doesn't sound too bad.

There's another layer to the conspiracy yes  Tbh it's not even fully revealed by the end of the season so I'm not even sure where it's all going.

I remembered seeing some raving reviews back in the day, so jumped in it without seeing how things turned out. And I can totally see why people liked it the first season, but by season 3 (or 4?) as it kept getting more and more ridiculous, I just stopped caring and eventually watching. It's a shame, they had a pretty cool premise. The last series I binged on was Rome, now that was awesome and it sucks that they killed it after only two seasons.

So I am binging Black Mirror and really getting a kick out of it. However, one episode in particular, White Bear, blew me the gently caress away. The twist was really good, and when he pours pills on the ground showing that they are going to make her re-live the event again I was like  This series is a mindfuck, and very enjoyable.

Last night I wanted to watch one of those reality DIY shows, and I stumbled upon Salvage Dawgs. These guys go into old houses slated for demolition, pull out things like doors, windows, and plumbing fixtures, and sell them at a high markup to people who have no taste. What they don't sell the use as material for crazy furniture, like bathtub couches and this sink made out of a navy boot locker: Apparently there's a group of people that absolutely eat this poo poo up, since these guys are still in business.

Does Person of Interest get better after the pilot? It was pretty cheesy and gave me the sense that's it's going to be a "solving the crime of the week" kind of show. I've heard it gets better though, so I'll definitely give it a few more episodes anyways.

It definitely gets better but since there's so many episodes a season there tends to be a lot of filler. I'd say if you haven't started to like the characters by episode 5 there won't be much in it for you. Most of the ride is rooting for the main cast. Oh and a lot of pretending to hit invisible earpieces. Like an astonishing amount.

Takes about half of season one to really start moving, but once it does it's p great.

I've heard it gets better though, so I'll definitely give it a few more episodes anyways. I was skeptical after the pilot too, because it seemed like a generic procedural. But there is a turning point coming up, where it goes from bland/boring/basic to intriguing, and that's episode 7. I think if you can make it that far, you'll be all in. Just be patient and don't spoil yourself.

Finally finished Spartacus. While the overall tone of the show is pretty unique, the build towards the end in the final episodes and how much the finale tied the whole series together really reminded me of The Shield. Easily among my favorite shows and a damned fine finale.

Is Longmire any good? I'm thinking of binging it. I was enjoying Narcos, but I'm almost to the end of season 1 and I'm just sick of the vibe it puts off. I would ask for suggestions but I've seen so many shows at this point I don't even think I could begin to list what I've seen and enjoyed, at least right now. Basically any suggestions that aren't already well known would be a good start I guess. e: what about The Returned? I've seen some people in this thread say good, some say bad so I dunno. I'm not too picky as long as it's passably interesting. I watched the first episode a while back and remember the premise piqued my curiosity. FWIW I liked 4400 Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Oct 30, 2016 |

Are you talking about the French version or the American remake? The French version is fantastic.

I just noticed netflix had both. I'll watch the french one then, I don't mind subtitles. Also it has 2 seasons so that's a plus. I tried longmire, it was okay but I'd prefer something more serialized.

Gomorrah season 1 - It's great. A solid gangster movie that also happens to be 10+ hours long. Packed full of action and things happening. Kind of like a cross between Narcos and Goodfellas, but with like 50% more action. Really enjoyed it.

Longmire gets a little more serialized later on. Still balanced with episodic plots though.

I started 6 Feet Under again from the beginning. I gave up during season 3 when it first aired and now I remember why I gave up. It is not that it is bad, far from, and I can handle depressing but the energy level just plummets and low-energy and depressing is like trudging through mud. I made it to season 4 now and plan to keep going. It is also crazy how much I related to Claire 15 years ago and on rewatch I now relate to Nate and David.

I watched it a few years ago because of all the praise it gets. I found it mostly boring and most of the family pretty lovely. I kept going due to how everyone thought the series finale was crazy but I just found it funny and not compelling. I really hated Claire too. Man I just didn't get that show.

Just finished A Very Secret Service. Fantastic show, it's absolutely hilarious. It's in French with subtitles and it has a bunch of background details and tie-ins, so it doesn't make a great watch-in-the-background show, but it's well worth paying your full attention to. Can't wait for the next season.

Not a series, but I watched Bo Burnham's standup "Make Happy" on Netflix the other day and enjoyed it. The finale was ... quite something. If you enjoy comedy with some funny songs sprinkled in, you may like it as well I'd say. By the way, what has Tim Minchin been up to lately?
