Re: The TV Series Thread - Part 5

[Robespierre]

3x19 episode of Community = Shutter Island
I don't think to be the only one to have noticed this

[Nishankly]

Just finished "The Fix" on Netflix for the US, how do the Americans react to this new English panel system shows for you? Do you like the system?

[elitedam]

Just rewatched Rome. Such a damn good show. Y'all need to get on that.

[M99]

Done with Treme. My least favorite Simon show but its still good. Has some great character development over the four season. The showcase of institutional racism and corruption is very much like The Wire. Music is incredible.The first season was way too slow but the latter seasons were a far better watch for me after connecting with the characters. Liked all of the main characters as they were all complex, well written and realistic. With the exception of Davis ffs, what an annoying pretentious prick. Realistic but so unlikable.

this show is ripe for a remake in the streaming age. The 2nd season was Unbelievably rushed

[El Gunner]

Ramy season 2 is great as well.

[M99]

Normal People is one of the best book adaptations I've seen. @Freeza what did you think of it at the end?

[RealGunner]

Casually watching The thick of it. It's quite good.

Get on Dark.

[RealGunner]

too complicated imo

[Hapless_Hans]

Hightown continues to be a good crime drama

no good guys, especially the heroine has got some problems lmao

interesting bad guys

[BarrileteCosmico]

GL should not sleep on Tikki Waitata's What We Do In The Shadows. Best laugh out loud comedy out right now.

[Warrior]

Someone mention it before as hilarious, after seeing their wikipedia it's a nice idea, i was interested then i forgot since i could not find it on Netflix.

Anyways thanks for the reminder. Where do you watch it ?

[BarrileteCosmico]

It's on hulu

[Robespierre]

Yesterday I finished Community.
You can notice a good difference between first half and 2nd half ( 6 seasons totally, so I divide in 3 and 3).
The first one is better, the first 3 seasons take you towards a binge watching session, you'd watch many episodes in a row because it's so good and entertaining. The 2nd half isn't same, it mantains a good level but it doesn't reach same peaks than 1st half part.
Then I've found out there is a reason , his creator got fired after the 3rd season Shame , otherwise the overall level 'd have been even greater.
Anyway great show, Alison Brie confirmed to be my wet dream, cast at high level, it takes me to see differently the comedy genre. There's quality also here.

For more Alison Brie (who is a legitimately great actress), watch Mad Men (wife of Peter Campbell) and GLOW (lead). And of course Bojack but you've already watched that.

Yes, I had already watched Bojack ( Diane's voice ) !
yep I'm going to watch Mad Men , here not on Netflix anymore but on Amazon prime . Luckily I've subscriptions on both services. I've always used Amazon prime just for books , I 've snubbed movies or others but they've a good offer also there honestly. As in this case

[El Gunner]

So I finally got around to Twin Peaks. 4 episodes in. The choice of music kills me never heard Lynch use music like this.
I also already have a few favourites - namely Audrey Horne and Lucy Moran

[Freeza]

And I thought the first season of Succession was good.

Good lord this is extremely much my shit

[Hapless_Hans]

Season 2 of Condor, continues to be a highly suspenseful, realist, and depressing spy thriller

[Hapless_Hans]

Hightown, really very good first season

[Myesyats]

Was Black Sails discussed on here? What a fantastic show that is, one of my favorites, not many pirate tv shows around, are there?

[McLewis]

I don't think it got a lot of buzz around here, but general the consensus is that it was a very well-crafted show with excellent characters and great writing. I personally loved it, but want to re-watch it.
