waar posted:But HBO has made me realize that the premise of a show can be the most ridiculously silly thing that I thought I'd never have any interest in and still come out to be a great show because everything about it is just quality. That's why you should watch the premiere of Hung tomorrow night

Count Choculitis posted:I am now four episodes in to Veronica Mars and my friend told me that it is not a happy-go-lucky show and the ending is not "uplifting." Without spoilers, is this true? I don't wanna get sucked in to a show that's just gonna be depressing and have a sad finale. The season 1 finale isn't really "sad" or "depressing" but in the spirit of the show, it is definitely very dark. Veronica Mars is a mature show that deals with a lot of adult (even taboo) themes, and the finale is very befitting of the series in that respect. Absolutely allow yourself to get sucked into it; just keep in mind that when the show turns to poo poo in season 3, it's the network's fault, not the creators'.

I was thinking about it earlier and I realized that Veronica Mars, at least in its first two seasons, is probably about the best non-cable drama out there. Weird.

I've been going back through Deadwood and I had almost forgotten how brilliant the dialogue in this show is. "Thank you for allowing me my full range of expression!" Ellsworth

-Blackadder- posted:I really hate it when I have nothing to watch. And the last few seasons have seen the end of a lot great shows that were my bread and butter (The Sopranos, The Wire, The Shield, Deadwood, Carnivale, BSG, even Prison Break) and annoyingly these haven't really been replaced with shows of equal quality. Have you seen Big Love, Breaking Bad or Mad Men?

jeffersonlives posted:The third season of Veronica Mars is still totally worth watching if you liked the first two. It's not quite as awesome, but it's still pretty good. It totally abandons almost everything that made the first two season so great. It's poo poo. But like I've said before, I don't blame the show since it was mostly due to pressure from the new network to make it more accessible.

Vivek posted:I watched the first two seasons of Dexter. I thought the first season was brilliant, but I was kind of disappointed by the second season. I'm not sure if I should continue watching or not. Does season 3 get better or worse? As bad as season 2 is, 3 gets so much worse. Incredibly dumbed down and conventional. My recommendation would be to give up while you still can.

Leviathan posted:3 was still better than most of the television that's available today even if it doesn't touch the first season in terms of quality. I'd put it on par with most of the television that's available today, which is to say terribly boring and formulaic.

I love Oz. It's kind of like Twin Peaks in the sense that it's a very sharp play on hammy soap opera storytelling. The show doesn't get nearly as much love as HBO's top-tier stuff like The Wire and The Sopranos, and rightfully so. But if you accept it as satire, it blossoms into a much prettier flower.

Seriously, save yourself the disappointment. If you already have reservations partway through it, you're going to hate the way it ends. I wish I could back to pre-season 4 times so I still had a favorable opinion of the show.

Count Choculitis posted:I was not being sarcastic. I legitimately liked the ending. Yes they were doing a bunch of rear end-covering, but whatever, I still thought it was a good ending to a great show. But I like pretty much anything I watch so I guess I'm just easily pleased. I think they were talking about where you said Lost was plotted out from the beginning which obviously couldn't be further from the truth.

tastychicken posted:I somehow got the impression that the discussion was about Battlestar Galactica. No, I don't think that's what Flatscan was talking about. Count Choculitis posted:But a lot of it is plotted out. Moreso than BSG was anyway. I mean before they decided on 6 seasons, yeah they were trying to stretch it out a lot (oh god season 3) but you can definitely see a lot of stuff in the early seasons coming back in later ones. It "came back" because they couldn't just let all of that poo poo go unexplained; they definitely retconned most of it. BSG may have been sloppy and on-the-fly a lot of the time but it was unquestionably more cohesive and planned-out than Lost has ever been. doctor thodt fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Aug 27, 2009 |

CaptainHollywood posted:I'd say it's closer to 30% poo poo. If anything there is too much good TV. I'm far more interested in starting up a new TV series, than watching the latest movie. 10 years ago you would have been called stupid for saying such blasphemy. Well a cursory glance at your post history shows entries in the threads for Smallville and Prison Break so I guess there's no sense in arguing with you about it.
