So I just powered through all of Broad City last night after reading a finale review of Playing House. Holy poo poo is Broad City a funny show. I didn't know any of the actors (apart from some guest stars) but they sold me from the second episode onwards. The dynamic between the two leads was excellent and the supporting cast was rock solid, can't recommend it enough. Hope they get a second season.

I love Boardwalk Empire to death but man it really deserves better opening credits. Band of Brothers though, that's a show with opening credits that perfectly set the mood of depressing yet somewhat hopeful. God drat I need to watch it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GonzHGwLTOw

xcore posted:I started watching Review based off a podcast recommendation and I'm quite enjoying it. Do comedy central have any other shows worth watching? I blasted through all of Broad City a couple weeks ago due to seeing it mentioned here a couple times and around the AV Club site. It's awesome and loving hilarious, couldn't recommend it more.

If the last half-season of Mad Men is as strong as this year's then I could definitely see Hamm picking up a bunch of stuff next go around if not this time. Mad Men was loving great this year.

Is The League even watchable at this point? I remember really enjoying most of Seasons 1-3 but after that it felt like the show took a nosedive.

The Midniter posted:I watched most of the first season of Trailer Park Boys a couple weeks ago and while it had its moments, I couldn't quite get into it enough to continue watching. Is it anything like P&R where it finds its footing in its second/later seasons? Or is it just one of those things that if I can't get into it by the first season, it's probably not for me? Season 1 certainly has a bit of a different tone; from S2 onwards the show finds its rhythm and if you don't feel it by the end of S2 or the first half of S3 then the show probably isn't for you. I will say that TPB is awesome though, it's a great show for just choosing a random episode to sit down and watch. I wouldn't really say it's all that similar to Parks aside from both shows get better as they go on. S1 Parks was just straight-up bad, they reinvented many of the characters and their traits for the better. TPB feels more like a gradual evolution from a solid foundation.

The one thing I feel You're The Worst needs to change/improve is the veteran roommate. Lindsay, Edgar's counterpart in terms of their supporting roles, is a far more entertaining and interesting character.

PriorMarcus posted:The opening credits of Orange is the new Black are so bad they sour me on the episode that follows. The credits would be perfectly ok if they didn't go on and on and on and on and on and on and oh you thought they were over? and on and on and on and on and on.

toanoradian posted:These past few days I've been binging on game shows that are on YouTube: Jeopardy, The Price is Right, Scrabble, The Chase, etc etc. What other game shows would you guys recommend? Please don't say Deal or No Deal. Only Connect. It's so dry but so, so good.

toanoradian posted:Thanks for all the game shows recommendations, everyone. For Only Connect I feel it might lose something if an audience was added in. The lack of one gives a unique tone and lets the focus be purely on the quizzing rather than trying to entertain a live audience. There's no big prize, no frills, glitz or glamour, just two teams battling it out for the sheer satisfaction of winning. Don't get me wrong, Pointless is a great show but my god sometimes it drags its feet in getting to the actual "game" part. Sometimes you just want a show that's no nonsense with minimal jokes (that are preferably bad) and Only Connect fills that void. If you really want a Quiz with a capital Q though then University Challenge is the daddy of them all as I'm sure you probably know already.

DominoDancing posted:Whoever talked about about Only Connect upthread, I've started watching a couple of episodes on YouTube, and it's really good! I'm incredibly bad at the game itself, so I'm often impressed that the contestants actually discover the connections. I often suffer with "Guess the Connection" and "Fourth in the Sequence" but I can reliably get a decent amount of points in the "Wall" and "Missing Vowels" rounds. I really don't know how people can score so many points in those first two, they surely have to practise a particular way of thinking. No Audience Supremacy

Junkenstein posted:Only Connect's moving from BBC4 to BBC2, I believe, so it'll probably get a studio audience then. They already moved and there's still no audience. It's now on right after University Challenge, creating the greatest hour of quizzing the world has ever seen.

"What's an aptitude test?" "Suitability test, Ricky." "Well I'll wear a suit if I have to." It's the simple things.

To be honest, just watch the first Highlander movie and pretend that's all there was. That thing kicked rear end in a fun, dumb way. The TV show just wasn't very good and the less said about the subsequent movies the better.

It would be great to see him play something serious. Parks is done next year so hopefully he says yes.

The Americans was great this year except for that one scene in the final episode where a guy is dying for what feels like 10 minutes while spouting exposition like a motherfucker. Still, the Season 3 trailer is loving dope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSu2dpWBjfQ

Sober posted:Then again all the people complaining about this point about last season of The Americans have no legs to stand on when talking about True Detective, which kinda also had an ending that was hyped up to be more than it could deliver on. I wouldn't say The Americans season finale was hyped up to be more than it was, just that one scene was very jarring compared to how excellent everything else was. I do agree that the TD finale was a bit overhyped, I'm not sure what people were really expecting with that one.
