It amazes me that enough young people watch Jeopardy that it can go viral on social media.

I agree that Skins seasons 1-2 are good, but man it got so bad later on

This is completely unrelated to anything but man why do people always bring up that scene in The Wire where they just say "gently caress" or variations thereof as one of the best TV scenes of all time? It's....not good. Especially when you consider how many other great Wire clips there are.
I don't think I've seen any more than 1 or 2 episodes after Skins s4.

I did try to watch the MTV adaptation though. Talk about a trainwreck.

For some reason I thought The Good Place was a family drama or something like This Is Us.

Guess I need to check it out.

So now that I'm done with The Good Wife, I need a new procedural or legal drama to keep my nervous system intact. I tried watchimg Midsomer Murders, but so far the pilot is sapping my will to live. And it's 100 minutes long.

Any recommendations?
Boston Legal was very enjoyable.

I wonder if Aziz was always like this or, as he became more famous and powerful, he latched onto PUA bullshit and turned into this monster.

Because that account with sticking his fingers in the girl’s mouth to then finger her sounds like textbook PU bullshit.

TIL that actually listening to someone you're hooking up with when they say no or push you away rather than fish-hooking their mouth and jamming your dick into their face makes you a "mind reader"

I absolutely would not be surprised if that was discussed in either The Pickup Artist series on VH1 or Neil Strauss's The Game.

The first episode of the new season of American Crime Story was pretty good. The first season was really great so i have high hopes for this one.

It's weird how uneven the quality of Ryan Murphy shows are.
Scream Queens had a good pilot too.

Just watched Letterman and Obama. It's okay. He's as great a speaker as ever but he's words ring kind of hollow when you look at his record. I didn't expect Letterman to ask him anything too interesting but it's a shame Obama doesn't seem self critical at all.

He also says some real moderate nonsense at times that comes across as someone still more concerned with political appearances than the reality we now live in.
Obama is and always was a third way pushover. We projected our progressive hopes onto him.

We are all to blame.

Question about Mosaic, is the app just a cut down version of the show? Seems like it might be easier to just watch the HBO presentation to get the whole picture.

Just finished pilot of Counterpart. Good but not great, but that's mainly a script issue with pacing.

I would describe it as Fringe x The Americans. Which you can't say no to.

Watch it again, and see if you feel the same way. I thought once you get past the concept and style of the show, the burn is ok.
I watched ep 2 and it's still good, just without the OMG I NEED THE NEXT EPISODE feeling.

I think I saw like 3 episodes of Roswell back in the day, I just remember that Heigel was voluptuous and Darla from Buffy/Angel was the FBI alien hunter.

I think that as a concept it could be a decent show.
I started watching Grey's Anatomy right when it premiered, before it got popular :smug:, because I knew Heigl from Roswell.

I bailed after season 3 or 4 though.

Altered Carbon ramps up the nudity from Sens8 s1 (haven’t seen s2) but it makes perfect sense in-world. There’s not really unnecessary nudity other than 1 sex scene.

The way that some reviewers think any sexual violence is unacceptable is hilarious, like they need to offer fake outrage or people won’t take them seriously.

Yeah, not facing our underlying racism and just ignoring it during the Obama years has worked really well since then.

For all of the crap you can throw at JJ Abrams, he gave us Fringe, so he's cool in my book.

I'm not sure why Counterpart is flying so far under the radar, but thankfully it has a second season order so it does have time to get word of mouth.
The Fringe that JJ gave us was basically X-Files though.

The Fringe we eventually got was quite different and much better.

Cloverfield Paradox was directed by an amateur and written by a hack. It’s not worth your 100 minutes.

Remember, Amazon was ready and willing to fund a fourth season of Hannibal, but wanted production to start relatively quickly. Fuller demurred, saying that he refused to set a filming date until the entire season was planned and written. (And he was already knee-deep in American Gods and Amazing Stories.)

Amazon took a hard pass when he set those demands.
I heard it was primarily because he was spread too thin with American Gods and Star Trek.

I just started watching S1 of Expanse. Definitely feels like a SyFy drama show right now. I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way, either.

I'm 2 episodes in so far and have it ranked at "good, not great" status. Is there a specific point where it makes the leap to ZOMG MUST SEE TV?
4 episodes in is when you will know whether it's your bag, baby.
