X-O posted:If you plan on streaming anything regularly of watchable quality in 2017 and your data limit is only 200gb you better get ready for some serious overage charges. Streaming video in SD takes roughly 1gb an hour so you'd need to watch almost 7 hours every day for a month to go over that limit

DivisionPost posted:Yeah, so Riverdale is pretty loving good. I think I admire it more than I actually like it -- in the sense that I admire the balls it takes to turn a comic known for being a lighthearted romp into a melodramatic teen soap centered around a murder mystery, even if cognitive dissonance has been Archie's thing for a few years now. But I admire it a whole hell of a lot, and I'm very curious where it's going to go. Yeah it takes real balls to make a standard issue melodramatic teen soap with, shock! a murder mystery! Real groundbreaking stuff.

It's a 70+ year old comic that's been turned into any other teen soap we've seen 100 times before, I don't see how that's special. If it were presented as its original tone while still being a serviceable modern drama that might have been worth some praise.

Just because the premise is morally abhorrent doesn't mean it can't be an interesting and entertaining show.

IRQ posted:OK I just watched the first 3 episodes of new 24 and what the gently caress are you nerds complaining about? This is awesome vintage Dumb as hell 24! I cannot imagine what people are having problems with, CTU still sucks at their job, the new Jack is still a damaged lone badass, it's still vaguely-to-very racist towards muslims, dudes get shot a lot, the plot is stupid as all hell with multiple twists; it's 24 as gently caress! It's tepid, no energy, no intensity without that 24 loses a lot of its appeal

less laughter posted:The AV Club disagrees: http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/homeland-finds-fitting-end-its-worst-season-ever-253459 Couldn't give a poo poo. This was definitely the best season since the first. It had it all, intrigue, conspiracy, mysterious character motivations, political commentary in an alternative world not too far removed from reality, tension, Peter Quinn. Really good stuff. they didn't quite stick the landing with the final episode, some things could have been resolved better but it left an interesting hook for next season.

I'm happy about this, I actually enjoyed Timeless. The characters improved as it went on and it was fun to go to a different time period every ep. It all tied together fairly well too and they left it on an interesting note for it to go forward on. It's very bizarre for a show to be un-cancelled and especially only a few days after it was cancelled though. Has it happened before? -Blackadder- posted:I watched a few episodes in the beginning so I'm curious, what was it? essentially the global secret society thing which rules the world behind the scenes, rittenhouse, killed his wife and he wanted to change history so that various members of rittenhouse ended up dead or were never born etc. etc. so it didn't get to be so powerful Wandle Cax fucked around with this message at 09:10 on May 14, 2017 |

Mu Zeta posted:When do the ratings by foreign countries ever matter for US networks? I wish they did then Hannibal might still be running. Well streaming is not really conventional TV so I'm assuming it's a different situation. Foreign success does matter though to some degree e.g. blindspot was renewed this season despite terrible ratings in part due to foreign sales

But whatever, if people like it that's fine, I just hope Discovery isn't dogshit. I really hope Discovery is good just to piss off all the trek fans e: also orville is doing well in its first 2 eps because it was on after football. it will crater in its normal slot.
