Looks interesting.

based on a 2013 short film of the same name. Haven't seen the new one so possible spoilers I would think.

 

[stbugs]

I did better than ten minutes with The Rain, maybe 20. I just started The Method - Russian crime drama, hot law school graduate goes into police work to solve a very personal cold case. She's hot and so are some of her classmates. She's hot when she's angry. I'm 6 minutes and 42 glorious seconds into e1.16 episodes? Absolutely.

I’m slogging through The Rain, almost done and I don’t know why I am. It’s not good and not horrible, but I’ll finish it just because. I have no idea if there’ll be a season 2 and unless I stumbled upon it I’d likely not watch it.

It's Amazon -sorry- but The Tick was a fun watch in spite of nebbish Arthur. Title character was fantastic, as well as the terror and lint. Very recommend.

And it's BBC America, but again Killing Eve has been consistently good so far.

Great short film. It's what got my wife and I into the zombie genre and started watching The Walking Dead.

I'll be watching the movie soon.

kids might enjoy it? i'm trying to build a list for my boy...

 

[Man In The Box]

I know it’s not the newest show in the world, but we’ve been catching up on Black Mirror. Fantastic. Highly recommend. ?

 

[El Floppo]

A lot of grown-up swearing and some themes built into the silliness. I think my almost 11yo might enjoy it, and he's certainly hearing worse from Mom.

ETA...no sex, iirc, but lots of F words

 

[Radio Free Homer]

And it's BBC America, but again Killing Eve has been consistently good so far.

I'm on Episode 2 right now and digging it.

Sandra Oh's character is annoying and I'm in love with the sociopath assassin, so I'm gonna be rooting for her...I really hope things break her way!

Great until Eve got out of the car to talk to Villanelle. Then, meh.

 

[thecatch]

Another Amazon recommendation: I enjoyed the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Definitely some slow parts with the husband but it was a strong first season. 

 

[El Floppo]

Hated that. But the rest has been good. Really enjoy villanelle and her handler.

"Gravity Falls" has been introduced to me and my boy. Terrific animated series in the vein of "Phineas and Ferb". I recognized the distinct voice of the grandfather from "Rick and Morty" instantly and sat down with my boy to watch two episodes already. 

Eta - on Hulu. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

When does Howard come on Letterman? BABABOOEY!

yesterday I guess.  Watched it last night.  It was cool but very little new information for long-time Stern fans.  A couple details that I didn't know exactly, but no types of revelations or anything.  

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Yeah... Did the unravelling of the truth thing with just enough hints to keep you rightly and wrongly guessing along the way. Ended well too. I didn't live this, but thought it was consistent and decently done even if I kept wondering why Dexter was talking funny.

Watched first ep last night.  Accent was freaking me out.  Didn't really care for it, a bit too stylized and heavy-handed.  Not really a mystery guy, though, so that part of it doesn't really matter to me.

Floppinho went all in on GF while it was on. First show he became a legit fan of- bought books and stuff.

 

[El Floppo]

I wrapped up Halt and Catch Fire last night. Really good show start to finish. Verged into melodrama, but the characters and writing kept it from getting into trouble. Solid recent history/zeitgeist where the characters and big picture story arcs pulled me in for good. Highly recommend.

Agreed! I would love to find another show that has a similar feel.

 

[badmojo1006]

Season 3 of Kimmy Schmidt was good. But the best scene of the year was "b00bs in California"

You act all holier than thou, but you have just as many holes as the rest of us.  

 

[MrJimiT]

Anyone else get the feeling the narrator had a "thing" for the main character? 

Yes...I thought the same.

My boys were in to this, and we tried watching them together.  I LOVED the first season.  Some of the supporting cast of characters were top notch.  However, I probably had too high of expectations and became frustrated with the storyline as it progressed through the seasons, and didn't make it to the end.

 

[EYLive]

Supposedly Thor: Ragnarock is now up. Gonna watch this tonight.
I wonder if that's why my neighborhood broadband slowed to a halt around midnight this morning.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Very raunchy, but good.  The main actress/creator of Fleabag has another brand new show on BBC America if you have access to it (I get it via sling). She's not in it but created and writes for it called "Killing Eve". First episode was very good imo... It's about a female cop and the female assassin she's after. It's on Sundays but I saw on demand thru sling. 

This needs its own thread. I'm only four episodes in, but it's an awesome show.

 

[shuke]

But the narrator told us about 3 times she was in something like the top 20 of her high school class.  Certified Genius.  

Anyone else get the feeling the narrator had a "thing" for the main character? 

No, I think he may have subtly played that card with her to get info.  She seemed to think what they had was a friendship, but he was definitely using her.

 

[RokNRole]

There’s this new movie called “ Righteous kill” starring The Godfather and the Cab driver.

 

[gianmarco]

The Disney Movie Coco is on for kids.

Where are you guys watching this? It's not free on Amazon Prime.

 

[Don Quixote]

I'm three episodes in.  Agreed - "Killing Eve" is great.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

It's on BBC America. peaces said he gets it on Sling. I get it on DirecTV. It’s also available on bbcamerica.com (online or through their app) and AMC (through their app).

Yeah, I just found it on DirecTV.  Will start it tonight....

Yeah my oldest was a big fan of this, even had a Gravity Falls themed birthday 

 

[Short Corner]

The Disney Movie Coco is on for kids.

Loved this one.  Not on here though...

 

[That one guy]

Finished Safe last night, pretty good watch.

Sense8 finale this weekend.  Really enjoyed that show as well, hope the ending is good

 

[shuke]

Looking for a new drama to start.  Based on discussions in here I think top choices are Bloodline, Halt and Catch Fire, and Fortitude.

Any thoughts?

I like Fire, but definitely start with Bloodline.

Safe is good, as well.

Any thoughts? 

Fortitude was fun, and short- more of an adventure/mystery. Halt Fire more immersive drama. Bloodline...don't remember that one- in FL?...I think I bailed on it.

 

[jdoggydogg]

You shouldn't have.

 

[James Daulton]

You shouldn't have.

Season 1 was sllloooooowwwwww

 

[El Floppo]

You shouldn't have.

Didn't like it. I'm already watching enough crap I don't really like.

Thanks for ruining it beforehand

I watched one episode of Bloodline and that was enough.  Nothing there grabbed my attention. May revisit at some point but not in any hurry.

have you see Sopranos, BB, The Wire, Mad Men, Deadwood, The Shield, Fargo?

 

[saintfool]

"Bloodline" was good S1 and a bit of S2. It went to hell after that. It was like they were just making #### up by the end though. One of the worst endings to a series in recent memory.

 

[IMAX 3D]

I liked Bloodline S1 a lot but couldn’t fully get into S2.

also Linda Cardellini

I enjoyed it start to finish.

Not interested in Halt. Fortitude is a kick.

I’ll probably pick S2 back up at some point

I’ll have to check out Fortitude

also trying to finish Babylon Berlin

All but Mad Men (not interested) or The Shield (keep forgetting about it; is it streamable?)

also trying to finish Babylon Berlin

I'm a sucker for police dramas lately so it probably appealed to me a little more than most. I could not get into Babylon Berlin and I'm sure it's better tv for most.

 

[Chaos Commish]

My nephew, a media consumption monster, insisted I watch Mad Men and The Wire for a few years before I caved and watched The Wire. Doh, that's about as good as tv gets. So I caved again and watched Mad Men saying exactly what you said above. I'm just not interested in this topic. It was a great watch and I've gone back and rewatched a few episodes here and there.
