Any recommendations for a show that feels like Leverage, meaning episode sized chunks that are semi-serious yet feel-good?

Calling anything about The Librarians as serious is a serious overstatement.

Basically anything put out by USA, TBS, or TNT since they all followed the same basic formula from Monk to Suits.

Good call on Burn Notice. Life is pretty decent, but occasionally dark. It's got some of the most implausible/blatantly unrealistic crime scenes in any procedural. But it has Damien Lewis, Sarah Shahi, and in the third and final season, Donal Logue. Edit: I didn't keep up with it, but White Collar should fit the bill.

I feel like that kind of poo poo really undermined the show. Its definitely worth a watch. It's 3 seasons, less than 60 episodes total. Great cast.

But it also had some just loving ridiculous bullshit in terms of trying to outdo CSI with wacky "what the hell happened here" crime scenes. I feel like that kind of poo poo really undermined the show. See, that's the thing: when you talk about Life you can't look at the crime of the week in a literal fashion. All the murder scenes in that show were staged to be aesthetically and philosophically interesting, realism be damned, in order to reflect the unique world Charlie Crews lived in.* That's why scenes with Crews screaming lines like "DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TOUCH DEATH" while carrying a gun in one hand and an Incan death flag in the other worked so well: because those weird, convoluted murder scenes set the stage for the show in general each week. (*Insert a pre-emptive "shut the gently caress up about the Prince of Persia episode" here, that was just a poo poo idea in general. Everybody has them.) Life was a true character-based procedural, in that everything about it, right down to the weekly mysteries, molded itself around the lead character and not the other way around. In fact, I think that's why I like Lucifer so much: it's the only other show that I've seen pull something like that off.

Life was just so good in so many ways. Charlie's inability to furnish his house was wonderful.

Does Hannibal remain a consistently good show? I remember people being pretty into it when it first came out, but I haven't really heard a lot as it went on. Does it drop off in quality as it goes along or stay strong? Edit: Also, seeing as it was canceled, does the final season end properly without stupid cliffhangers or anything?

Not a huge fan of the back half of season 2, other than the amazing finale, and I found a central guest performance by Richard Armitage (occasionally) unintentionally hilarious in the third season, but otherwise I thought it was loving great. The show ends well, so there's nothing to worry about there. And there's a fourth season planned as soon as Amazon loses their exclusive rights to produce the show (so around August this year, apparently).

Season 1 and 2 of Hannibal are fantastic. Three is basically two split in half, the first half is really aimless and pretentious but has a strong ending and the second half is suffers from covering ground that is very well-trodden by the movies but is still good and has a satisfying ending. Hannibal kind of ties into the earlier discussion about knee-jerk dislike of procedurals, because the first two are much more procedural with an overarching plot and are much stronger for it. Open Source Idiom posted:And there's a fourth season planned as soon as Amazon loses their exclusive rights to produce the show (so around August this year, apparently). I thought that the show died because Fuller wanted to move on to American Gods and declined to offer to start production on four? Either way, it feels like it ended at a good spot so I'm not too broken up about it being dead.

The first half of season three of Hannibal is the low point but the second half is really good. My favorite description of the first half of season 3 is that while it's pretty poor overall, Larry Fishburne still shows up to throw a fool through some plate glass so its totally worth watching.

Fuller's also sitting on an adaptation for Amazing Stories, though I'm honestly not sure that's coming anymore. He's no JJ Abrams, that's for sure.

I think Laurence Fishburne's performance when his wife dies in Hannibal might actually be the best bit of acting he's ever done. It helps that Gina Torres is his real life wife though. That must have been a real loving intense shoot.

Amazon doesn't have any production rights on the show. They were interested in producing a fourth season when NBC dropped the ax, but they insisted that it go into production almost immediately, which Fuller refused to do (he insisted on having a full season's worth of scripts written before they'd start filming, as he did with the previous three seasons). Amazon has the exclusive streaming rights, which is what you might have been thinking of.

I just read that Hugh Dancy said that the show might return in a couple of years instead. I wouldn't mind that. http://tvline.com/2017/01/09/hannibal-season-4-hugh-dancy-silence-of-the-lambs/

Zaggitz posted:Hi. Sell me on the Get Down, it's the one show I hadn't heard of from the Top Ten thread that really stood out to me from the glimpses I saw there. Do you like good music? Do you like watching a show showcasing a culture/scene you've never seen before? Would you like to see some of the best artist making art scenes ever put on TV? Do you have a tolerance for some rough sub-plots? Then you'll love the Get Down. Never managed to make a list for the Top Ten, but I'm gonna guess the Detour and Animal Kingdom (and Erased, why not) never made it on there. Kevin Reilly has been killing it on TBS/TNT.
