Just picked up The Americans to hold me over in between Star Trek and I'm liking it so far. Some of the exposition is kinda  and the characters flip flop back and forth between being in love and hating each other, but it's keeping my attention pretty well.

Finished watching Reilly: Ace of Spies (great show) and now moved on to Man In a Suitcase, which continues the proud ITC tradition of weakish scripts massively carried by the charisma of the lead (in this case Richard Bradford as McGill; compare McGoohan in Danger Man, Moore in The Saint, Wyngarde in Department S and Jason King etc.).

Yeah, the last two seasons of Californication are incredibly bad, it really felt like they didn't give a poo poo anymore.

The end of season one felt like it was meant to be a series finale. I was very surprised by the direction it has gone going into season two.

As I recall, the show easily could have stopped four or five times before it did, so just pick one when you're satisfied that you've seen everything it has to offer.Klaaz posted:Yeah, the last two seasons of Californication are incredibly bad, it really felt like they didn't give a poo poo anymore. I feel like they just ran out of things to do with the characters. Actually, I feel like they ran out of things to do with the characters by season four or five, but they did an increasingly bad job of hiding it as the show went on.

I'm making my way through Leverage one last time before Netflix pulls it on November 2. I love this show so goddamn much, I feel like Netflix is ripping away my comfort blanket and I'm cranky about it like a whiny baby afraid of the dark.

I love this show so goddamn much, I feel like Netflix is ripping away my comfort blanket and I'm cranky about it like a whiny baby afraid of the dark. The characters of Hustle are all just conmen, they don't have any borderline superpowers like the leverage crew. Their hacking ability is basically limited to creating fake company websites. In one episode part of their plan required lockpicking something quickly, so they found an identical model lock and had one character practice doing it the entire episode while the rest of the team set everything else up. The second part is the motto of the characters and probably the show "You can't con an honest man". The con in Hustle always relied on the greed, pride, envy or whatever other character flaw drew the Hustle team's attention to them in the first place. There were episodes of Leverage where the team straight up framed the bad guys for crimes they didn't commit. For content, I'm about to start binging through the British show Hustle again.

For me, I’ve been on a bit of a Power Rangers kick since they put them all on Netflix. I went through MMPR and stalled at Zeo. I have finished Dino Thunder and both Dino Charge seasons. I’m working my way through Lost Galaxy and also watching Zyuranger.

I'm already three episodes into the second season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a show that a week ago I didn't know existed. It is bloody wonderful. The characters are all well-defined, the pacing is fast and snappy, and unlike a lot of comedies it actually understands that it needs to pack in as many jokes as it can. I'm getting proper LOL moments multiple times per episode and that's what I want from a comedy show. It's also got a lot of heart, and while I enjoy the snarky banter I really enjoy the times when the characters are there for each other. I would absolutely love to hang out with this cast, in or out of character. Edit: Stranger Things is back on the 27th, and the new trailer is fricking awesome. Does what a trailer should do, gets you hyped even if you're all in. I can recommend the iOS game that's a tie-in, it's free (proper free), and is a cute retro RPG that is way better than it has any right to be. Just the thing to fill the time in the lead up to S2. I'm about 35% done and it's legit. Parkingtigers fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Oct 18, 2017 |

It's one of those shows where I will happily watch reruns because it's just so drat fun.

I've been working my way through Fortitude on Amazon. I think I'm a couple episodes away from finishing season 2. Overall I've enjoyed it but it's a really bleak, oppressive show, partially because of the story and partially because of the setting. It's also a pretty dense show with a lot going on between various characters so I wouldn't recommend trying to binge it in a weekend or whatever. I kinda liken it to Hannibal without the "whimsy" or dream-like qualities of that show. I definitely enjoyed the first season more, but the 2nd isn't bad either.

I loved Brooklyn 99, but just sort of stopped watching it sometime in the third season. No reason, just sort of stopped. Has it been just as good as it used to be? Maybe I should pick it back up.

Its still funny but its got the usual sitcom entropy where the characters get a little broader and the running gags get a little tired. I think it might be pulling back a little this season but its early.

Binged through The Keepers. I like Netflix documentaries, and I suppose one could call this Making a Murderer - Lite. Even though it was pretty good television, the case felt overall a bit weaker than in MaM The abuse stuff was quite creepy. They made a very good case against the abusers and the church who covered for them, but disappointingly, they never actually ended up describing any conclusive link between the abuse and the murder, other than Jane Doe's memory.

So I just started Seth MacFarlane's show The Orville. It's a goofy rip of Star Trek. It's basically the banter from A Million Ways to Die in the West with a dash of People of Earth but in space, and a little more serious. In it, Seth plays a starship captain who's life long dream of captaining his own ship is realized. It feels like the shows premise is an analogy to him always wanting be in a show like Star Trek. It has funny moments, tropey sci-fi moments, and usual Seth MacFarlane humor. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you like his work, and some corny sci-fi, you might like the show a bit. Not really trying to sell it, bit I thought I just throw it out there as I had no idea it was a thing until yesterday. If it leaned harder into the dopey comedy and didn't take itself as seriously I might like it more, but I'm only one and a half episodes in.

I've started Mindhunters, and Ii don't want to read the show thread because it's yes-spoilers, but it's not very good. The characters are all just reading canned lines off a script with zero emotion? Is that supposed to be a narrative style or somethin?

How far in are you? I wasn't really grabbed by the first episode, but it clicked for me after that. Plus some of the scenes with the girlfriend character in the first few episodes are kind of lovely but it gets better IMO>

If episode 2 doesn't grab you then it's definitely not for you, it keeps getting better but it stays basically the same thing throughout.

The only actor that felt like they were reading canned dialogue to me was the main character’s girlfriend (Hannah Gross). It was distracting.

I think I'm halfway through two, I'll give it a few more episodes I guess but man the dialogue is so unatural I don't know what to make of it. I also watched 6 episodes of The Girlfriend Experience, a ludicrously far fetched story told by Kristen Stewart from the first Twilight movie i.e. a mannequine with no obvious emotions and the glassy eyed stare of a lizard.

I felt this way, intensely, when the girlfriend was introduced; the dialogue and acting in the bar scenes when they meet are unbelievably bad. It gets better over time, if only because the girlfriend plays a smaller role.
