i like Stellan Skaarsgard a lot. He's an underrated actor, imo, and I added this show to my queue about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure when I will get to it but I suspect it will be after finishing "Jessica Jones". I'm glad this is recommended even if it isn't absolute.
I liked him a lot in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and thought he looked like a B Actor in The Avengers series.
My wife and I watched the first episode and really wanted to like it but werent impressed. It's encouraging that the show grows on you, but with so much other great streaming content up now it's going to be tough to make time.
You aren't going to get an unbiased opinion from me, as Chuck is my favorite show of all-time (Wire and Breaking Bad are higher quality shows overall, but if I could only watch one show ever again, it'd absolutely be Chuck).
Wife and I just watched Ep 1 of Season 2. Man, that is some riveting television. Just powerful stuff. I told her it's a 14 on a scale of 10 compared to some of the other dreck we've watched lately. For those of you who haven't watched Season 1 I can't recommend it highly enough.
Whoa! S2E1 is outstanding; best drama I recall seeing recently. Looking forward to the rest of this ride. Next stop though is to find a Season 1 episode guide. I struggled trying to recall a lot of the back stories from season 1.While I did not realize it while watching Jessica Jones, I now recognize that Kilgrave and Inspector Hardy are one and the same actor, David Tennant.
Did not see your reply before I started hamfisting my tablet. I thought season 1 was solidly A-, but season 2 might be a level higher if episode 1 is a reliable indicator.
I hadn't remembered some of the back stories either but had my memory jogged watching this episode. Also think some of the bits and pieces were new arcs, not continuation.
I do really like the show, only complaints so far are the start of S3 being not quite as hot as the first two and getting a bit tired of the will they/won't they Chuck/Sarah storyline (or maybe the contrived ways they've maintained it more than the story itself),
The will they/won't they annoyances reach their peak in the first 3rd of S3. There's a Chuck blogsite where fans rank all the Chuck episodes. 4 of the bottom 5 episodes from the entire series are from the first 9 episodes of S3. Just power through those and you'll be fine.
It's slow, but I still liked it.
oh well. Add it to the Bojack Horseman holiday special in the adults-only section then.
I never watched Season 1 of Broadchurch but did watch the US version - Can I skip the UK version Season 1 & go right to Season 2 or should I watch the 1st one.
I didn't watch US Season 1, but my understanding it it's a line by line remake. Even so, I'd watch the UK Season 1 first, because some of the characters are so strong and so well played you'll want to have followed the entire story with them. I think it will make the emotions and payoffs of Season 2 mean much more.
Just watched a few episodes of "Making a Murderer". Found it fairly interesting for a documentary series. Really not what I expected but will keep watching it unless I get bored.
Agree, 3 episodes in and it is an amazing story that I never heard about before. I tend to like non-fiction more than fiction so it made it even more interesting to me.
Thanks for this...a doc on everything I've ever loved about music.
That clip was horribly unfunny. And I love BBC stuff, so its not that I don't like british TV.
Thanks for the feedback, appreciated.
Luther is top-notch. Would also recommend The Fall in this genre.Bob Magaw said:
