anyone watch banshee and is it worth it

by elitedam Sat Jan 09, 2016 9:52 am

Banshee is great and damn right it's worth it.

by MaraVilla Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:21 pm

yes, Banshee is worth it. So sad the latest season ( airs in April) will be the last Sad

Anyone watching The Shannara Chronicles? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1051220/

by McLewis Sat Jan 09, 2016 6:53 pm

Yeah I watched all 4 episodes of the Shannara Chronicles so far.

The acting is as wooden as can be (expected given the cast and network) and times downright cringe-worthy, but it's pretty gorgeous looking show visually. Bloodier than I thought they'd make it. Not a huge issue as the books were pretty violent as well.

This isn't GOT-like fantasy though. This is more traditional high fantasy. As long as the acting gets better, I think this show will do fine. I'm still really not sure about its longevity though.

Can say with some confidence that it's not even on my radar. I'll add to my filler list though.

Banshee is legit. On the second season, looks like i'm catching up at the right time with S4 right around the corner.

The Expanse seems to finally bring a breath of fresh air to Sci Fi television.

Binged the 6 episodes, started a bit weak but I'm into it now. Can't wait 4 moar.

There will never be another Battlestar Galactica though.

Are there any other decent SF shows worth watching since 2010?

Downloaded Black Mirror next.

by RealGunner Thu Jan 14, 2016 11:24 am

Try warehouse 13

by Vibe Thu Jan 14, 2016 11:34 am

Zealous once bought me some soundtrack from that show on iTunes Laughing

I can't think of anything that's considered traditional scifi besides Black Mirror. If you want to try something different there is Rick and Morty and The Leftovers. The former is a scifi/comedy cartoon and the latter is just weird as shit.

by MaraVilla Thu Jan 14, 2016 12:19 pm

lol warehouse 13... reported for trolling.

Vibe- try Continuum. probably the only decent sci-fi show ive seen in a while. I really enjoyed it, and im sure other in here did aswell.

by Vibe Thu Jan 14, 2016 12:26 pm

I thought watching about Continuum, looks a lot like Fringe based on descriptions.

by McLewis Thu Jan 14, 2016 1:32 pm

Continuum isn't bad at all, SyFy's last great show before the new batch (Killjoys, Dark Matter, the Expanse etc) came along. I preferred Fringe a bit more as it was more thought-provoking though.

Agree on the Expanse btw. Latter episodes have been far better so far.

by elitedam Thu Jan 14, 2016 1:46 pm

I forgot about Continuum. It's a great show that became better the crazier it got.

by Vibe Thu Jan 14, 2016 4:01 pm

Black Mirror S01E02

I felt sick at one point... Worst thing is, it is where we are heading.

If I look at my day today, I spent it looking at screens, without even throwing a glimpse outside, and I even rode my room bike twice today Laughing

by RealGunner Thu Jan 14, 2016 9:57 pm

Black Mirror is straight up a masterpiece

by Vibe Thu Jan 14, 2016 10:02 pm

Just finished S2... Fully agreed.

by RealGunner Thu Jan 14, 2016 10:06 pm

rank your fav episodes after you are done

by RED Fri Jan 15, 2016 3:27 pm

Really enjoying Master of None on Netflix. Aziz Ansari is hilarious.

by Vibe Fri Jan 15, 2016 7:33 pm

I always find that difficult when I binge it, but I'll try:

Fifteen Million Merits (Powerful message)
White Bear (Great twist, wish it was shot a bit different at the end)
The Entire History of You (Fantastic episode all around)
National Anthem (Would rank better, but that guy did not convince me as a PM)
Waldo Moment ( Great episode, dull characters though )
Be Right Back (It was still great, but I found it to be a bit boring)

Yet to see White Christmas.

Got a boner seeing her for some reason:
