That Buzzfeed article could be about any British actor in America. They've framed it the way they have because it's Buzzfeed.

snodig posted:Has anyone here seen The Fall? I just finished the second season and I'm curious what you thought of it. I thought it was one of the best things I've seen recently. Brilliantly acted, brilliantly written series. And sadly unique in how firmly planted it was in the reality of procedure.

The first episode of The Strain is one of the worst pieces of writing I have ever come across. And I read the old Battletech novels. And TVIV.

eltoozero posted:Got sucked into Blacklist and James Spader is so good you can't not watch By season two even Spaderman can't carry the programme. Which is a real shame. It turns the creepy fascist government agent poo poo up to eleven, and the central conceit of the programme kind of falls apart.

The central difference being that Fringe seems like it was always going to be about the overall story and they just miscalculated their initial timing. They always had a goal for where they were going and how to get there. The X-Files was a surprise hit which by the nature of it's subject matter accidentally forced itself into having an overarching mythos. Which they never took the time to lock down. That is why X-Files is such a contradictory, muddled mess in that regard. The X-Files was a great programme with a lot of genuine classic episodes, but for my money Fringe is the much much better series.

raditts posted:I'm not having trouble understanding how it can be a series so much as why it would be a series. Yeah, that's sort of what I was getting at. It's like basing a story on the central premise of whether or not in modern society it should be acceptable to stage dog fights. Or bait bears. Or beat your partner. The answer is no, no it shouldn't be acceptable. That's a poo poo central premise.

If his parents were responsible he would have had a gun and shot the man who wanted to hit him. Now there's a series. Sort of a ruggedly manly Walker Texas Ranger style macho deal, but with Pokemon and Mr Spock.

Then he's all like, "BUT HE'S TALL?" and he isn't strong enough to hold the gun that high, but then there's a montage and he learns how to be strong. Dramatic scene of him straining to hold the gun up, and then then he does it. He shoots the adult in the balls?

sbaldrick posted:I realize actors need work, but why are these two still doing a show with Superfans like this? It's a genuine career role. It probably also helps that they, apparently, became incredibly good friends. Who wouldn't stay with a job paying TV lead actor money if you got to hang out with you close friends all day and make fun of you fans on-screen? Padalecki even met his wife on the programme... to me it seems like the definition of a dream job.

'Legitimately good' is a spurious distinction, of relevance only to people insecure in their own tastes, and who feel the need to sneer at the taste of others.

The worst thing about comic book threads is that people just start straight up explaining who everyone is and what is going to happen, on the assumption that the only people who watch it are going to be up to date with their crayon literature, and that no one cares about/should be allowed to discover the characters through the actual television programme.

I thought the premise of Pacific Rim was pretty dopey but I ended up enjoying it, whereas the premise of The Strain is something I was looking forward to and it wound up being tedious rubbish. Yeah, the first episode of The Strain was a tour de force of incompetently made television.

Mu Zeta posted:I used to watch a show years back called Third Watch. It was a procedural that had cops, medics, and firemen all in the same show. It was interesting because all it needed was lawyers and it could have dominated primetime. That was great until 9/11 happened. 9/11 ruined Third Watch. I'll never forgive it for that.

The reason I didn't watch beyond the pilot of Chicago PD was because it seemed like exactly the sort of American programme that brainwashes people into thinking police black sites are justifiable and probably necessary.

Aphrodite posted:Right, I'm just curious if an actual TV show tried to justify them or something. Besides Fox and Friends. As mentioned already, the central hero 'bends the rules to get things done' loose cannon, brutally bent copper on Chicago PD canonically tried to cold-bloodedly murder a fireman for some spurious reason. And that is apparently fine. American police dramas are incredibly morally hosed up and most Americans don't seem to notice because that's what they have been raised to expect. Which goes hand in hand with a culture in your actual real life police that leads them to thinking that running their very own private Guantanamo Bay for forced confessions is a simply spiffing idea.

One of the main problems with Dushku is that once you've seen her in something you've seen her in everything. She has the range of a gerbil's ejaculate.

You all need to stop watching whatever poo poo you're watching now and go and watch The League of Gentlemen. Because it is far far better than whatever poo poo you're currently watching. Whether you've mislabelled it dark or not.
