Love this show, an easy and entertaining watch.

I am rewatching Season 1 and 2 before I go into 3 and 4 completely fresh. Love this series, Cillian Murphy, Sam Neil and Tom Hardy all at the top of their game.

Yup. It's good, not a good as seasons prior though.

how was Series of Unfortuante events on Netflix?

[junior94]

So, the limited series X-Files revival a couple years ago on the whole just sucked out loud (with spotty moments of okay or even kinda good few and far between). This new "season 11" that's got 10 episodes to it, apparently the premiere aired last night and it's just more of the same all over again. I haven't watched yet but I'm hearing the resolution to that Scully cliffhanger they did at the end of ep6 in the revival is like groan-inducing.

christ I'm not sure if I even wanna bother watching these newest ones. But at least Gillian Anderson's been smart enough to say she's unequivocally done with the series, for good. If they wanted to stretch out this revival, she won't be involved. I mean it's been so obvious that Chris Carter had to just think up a bunch of new shit out of thin air but that still weaves in correctly to the classic mythology, and it was a trainwreck.

I liked the movie they did with Jim Carrey several years ago alright enough, but never have wound up checking out this NPH reboot of it yet.

[TwoStep2888]

I keep seeing ads for the new Roseanne, I love the classic 90s series but I don't know why they have to revive all these old shows

did anyone see the second top of the lake season?

Show is best when each episode is a one-off story. Ever since they've gone full-on cigarette man/conspiracy/Scully baby story line the show sucks. The premiere was terrible. Mulder's thought narration was really bad.

Yes, not even close to as good as the first.

Just finished the first episode of Letterman's new show. Really great. I didn't realize that they aren't releasing each episode all at once.

I watched about half so far. The rapport between Letterman and Obama was great. I didnt realize how much I missed complete sentences and coherent thoughts




trying to do Mad Men again. watched about a season a couple years ago and couldnt get into it

[Ascf33]

End of the F****** World is kinda bad. I don't understand the love for this.

[scrock25]

Just started Stranger Things... on S1E3 and had to force myself to go to bed at 2am this morning.

Why did I wait so long on this show

[maxatlof]

I just started Peaky Blinders about a week and a half ago, I've been binging it so much it's to the point now where last night I heard Arthur's voice in my dreams. What I dreamt I heard went something like "Mumble, mumble, something, fucking, something, something, mumble mumble, fucking cunt, mumble mumble fucking hell, something, something, fuck mumble"

Agreed, soundtrack is fantastic. Just started season 4, Adrien Brody's wannabe Don Corleone accent is fucking god awful. He can't die soon enough just so I don't have to hear him talk anymore.

Watched the pilot of Sneaky Pete last night. Second time I've watched it.. now I can go on and watch the entire first season for the first time.

Okay, what was the deal with that show? I recall watching the first episode as well. Is the season just out now or was it out and went away? I can't recall.

All of S1 has been out for a little while. It's just that the pilot came out well in advance of the rest of the show. Think they wanted to see how the pilot would do before they ordered the remainder of the season.

[K3nTaKa0s]

Looking forward to checking out Waco on Paramount (Spike) on Wednesday. Just remember some of the basics as a kid.

My dad always called Roseanne a "loud-mouth," so we never watched that show.

Do yourself a favor, it's so good.

Watched 2 episodes. Thought it was terrible.

[Jordan#41]

3 episodes into The Deuce. Good not great. Maggie Gyllenhall is just SO ugly.

[weller3377]

Never watched Parks and Rec. Started it a few days ago on Netflix and freaking love it

Anyone watch the new show with JK Simmons on Starz? Any good?

so originally Sneaky Pete was set to be a network television show on CBS - and the pilot episode was filmed as such. But then Amazon picked it up, and the rest of the episodes were filmed more like an HBO/Showtime show, aka it gets much darker in tone, etc. Great show. the finale episode was one of my favorite episodes of tv last year.
