I was annoyed by Spacey's accent and his talking to the camera early on. But overall, the show is excellent and I am really glad I stuck with it.

I gave up about halfway through the first episode. I can't stand Spacey and am not really into political dramas.
I might go back and give it another shot some day.

I saw a billboard in the subway for this. I guess that's the remake?
I see it on A&E. That's the French version? It's showing it as new.

Didn't like his accent? Is that because you know it is not his real accent? Personally I think he nailed it and I don't mind it at all.jdoggydogg said:
ETA: The show lost some steam for me with the big event towards the end of season one*, but I recalibrated my expectations and am sticking with it and still enjoying it a good deal (S2E1 was awesome). Will probably finish season three tonight actually.

1st season might be on Netflix.
as far as I know, the 2nd season hasn't aired yet (here or France).
ABC or one of the other majors did a "version" of the returned that was god-awful.. last year?. Lasted a season... maybe two.
A&E has been showing the 1st season of the French version and appears to have completely remade the French Version. I haven't seen the new version to comment on accuracy (I think it's one or two episodes in), but I think it's the same script- down to character names and even episode names. the thing is- the french version worked because of lots of intangibles: acting, directing, lighting, editing, scenery/site, overall creepy quality that came through all aspects of the process. Seems very easy to #### that up, even if the characters are the same and even saying the same things.

I watched the A&E premiere and thought it was good enough to keep on the DVR schedule for now.
Haven't watched the French version so can't compare.

Based on some list of "best movies streaming right now..." watched Short Term 12. Did not disappoint. Very solid movie. Drama with some comedy sprinkled in. Highly recommend.

I still watch the Bojack Horseman holiday special every other week or so. So perfect.

one of my favorites of last year. One scene was a bit out of place, but otherwise thought it was great.
It's up there with Arrested Development, IMO. I can't think of a funnier show on TV right now.
Rushmore

I did the same thing. I never "disliked" it, but just kind of stopped watching. I recently picked back up on it and am glad that I did.KarmaPolice said:
Also echo the positive sentiments of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I only watched a few episodes, but it is a lot of fun and fits that niche of something you can turn on for a shorter time commitment. I'm anxious to see more Martin Short, as I'm a big fan of his.

The French version of The Returned is on Netflix streaming. I have the other one on my dvr. Might watch both of the first episodes and see which I like more.
Thanks for the Kimmy Schmidt rec. I'll give it a shot. I was about to cancel the streaming with so much on, and coming up, on TV. Looks like I might keep it a little longer.
Might have to check out Bojack Horseman too.

Glad I checked this thread and found out about this. Hadn't even heard of it before. Hilarious.

At that point I realized it wasn't going to be the show I really thought it was trying to be but I accepted it and moved on.

Very similar to that older tv show Sliders. Looks like this was made to be a tv pilot that was passed on so it was released as a movie instead on Netflix. Appears that there is positive feedback on this and the director indicated there are talks about now making this into a series.

"Tammy" with Melissa McCarthy.
This may be the worst movie I've ever seen.
Scratch that. "Museum Hours" was the worst movie I've ever seen, and that's in a stratosphere all it's own. Not likely to ever be surpassed.
But this movie "Tammy", is certainly in a race with a short list of others trying to place 2nd. It is that bad.

If you're in the mood for some old school: Hell is for Heroes with Steve McQueen. Interesting how much Saving Private Ryan borrowed from this film.

Been watching The returned (French) and have been very entertained.
Love the scenery and music.

Watched most of episode 1. Can't say I'm hooked but I will keep watching. I actually found it a little confusing, but I wasn't giving it my full attention.

After watching the first episode, I have no desire to watch any more. The show is boring and the "tease" for whats to come isn't interesting because I don't care about the characters.

No way. Tammy started out slow but you gotta love the scene where she donned the mcdonald's type mask. Hilarious.

It must go downhill really fast, because I'm a half-hour into it (on HBO) and I'm LMAO so far.

This show is hilarious. Might have to watch it a couple times to catch all the jokes.

Not everything works on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. For example, Jane Krakowski can't act.
But the show makes me laugh a lot, and that's all that matters.

The characters are pretty much universally outlandish, to the point the mole-woman lead is the most sane one. It made me laugh a fair amount though.
Tina Fey's guest spot over the final too episodes was pretty terrible. John Hamm made up for it though.

I thought the pilot of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was just OK but based on the reviews here, I'll be sure to stick with it. I still am only half way through the recent season of House of Cards so it might be awhile.
Any other opinions on Bloodlines?

I just completed episode 3.
50 minutes into the first episode I didn't think I would watch another one, and then in the final 5 minutes of the first episode I decided to give the second episode a shot.
By the end of episode 2 I realized I'd be semi-binge watching the rest of it. It's very good. A bit disjointed in the way it goes back and forth from past to present, but it settles in well by midway through episode 3.
Sort of like a not so intense version of True Detective.

Yeah, I'm not loving it. I've watched 3 episodes. I thought the first couple scenes of episode 1 were fantastic. I probably laughed more in those couple scenes (up through them being on The Today Show) than the rest of the first 3 episodes combined. It just has too much of an NBC/network tv feel to me. I've just become so accustomed to Netflix productions or foreign shows that most of the stuff that comes out of NBC/ABC/CBS/Fox seem like crap to me.
It does seem like a show my wife would like, though. Since there's not much we watch together, maybe I'll introduce her to it and we can watch it together. I'm not saying it sucks. I just don't love it like others have.
