Re: The TV Series Thread - Part 4

been busy with work and shit, but finally got time to sus out some tv shows..

EVERYONE get onto 'Billions'

‘Billions’ is a bold, contemporary drama that explores worlds of ultra-wealth, influence and corruption as personified in two highly ambitious opposing figures: hard-charging, blue-blooded, politically connected U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) and brilliant, calculating, blue-collar billionaire hedge fund king, Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damian Lewis). Set amongst the Machiavellian machinations of New York City power politics and finance, BILLIONS weaves an intricate narrative featuring a high-stakes game of predator-versus-prey.

Pilot was brilliant, cant wait to watch episode 2

After finding no luck in finding a HIMYM substitute, brooklyn nine nine is the closest sitcom i have seen that can provide genuine laughter and entertainment.

Season 2 is even better than season 1 so far.

the goldbergs is underrated as a comedy show imo

nothing amazing but another show i catch on tv sometimes and it's fun

get a malcolm in the middle vibe

Making A Murderer - believe the hype!

by McLewis Thu Jan 21, 2016 9:57 am

I think I'll be skipping that one until the hype dies down. Want to view it objectively without all the noise about it in the mediasphere.

by Onyx Fri Jan 22, 2016 10:30 pm

Anybody watch Quantico, Blindspot, Scandal or How to get away with murder?

X-Files also returning this weekend.

by McLewis Sat Jan 23, 2016 5:15 pm

Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder are pretty good shows to me. Scandal has gotten better and better while the other has had 2 very solid seasons.

I have no interest in Quantico, Blindspot or the X-Files though.

Finished season 2 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Was better than the first season overall. Much better infact

Didn't like the ending though. Watched 1st ep of Season 3 and put it off due to season 2 ending...

Re-starting Fringe again. I've been craving it really badly.

by elitedam Wed Feb 03, 2016 5:23 am

Did anybody watch Neon Joe werewolf hunter?

It's really silly and strange but it has its funny parts.

I had forgotten how insanely good Fringe gets seasons 2-3.

Honestly if you've never watched this show, shame on you.

Beginning of season 1 is a bit Monster-of-the-week kind of stuff and feels episodic but second half of season 1 it gets very serialized and everything connects together.

watch banshee hames

by LeVersacci Wed Feb 03, 2016 11:08 pm

Watched the first 2 episodes of legends of tomorrow and it's decent. So many cringe actors especially the Hawk pair lmao. Atleast the girl is hot.

Haven't watched it yet. Haven't heard a lot of great things. Sticking to Flash atm.

Lucifer is really fun tbh. Really enjoy the light hearted ness. It's nothing great, but it's got some fun banter.

The Expanse is genuine.

I was waiting for it to became a fraud like every promising SF in recent memory, but it seems to be on a good path.

Not Battlestar Galactica good, but better than anything out there.

by McAgger Thu Feb 04, 2016 9:50 pm

Vibe watch Fringe

by Vibe Thu Feb 04, 2016 9:54 pm

How dare you

by McAgger Thu Feb 04, 2016 9:55 pm

You've already seen it then, I assume.

by Helmer Sun Feb 07, 2016 8:02 pm

Ok, then I must admit that I had watched starting 3 episodes of Fringe and then I stopped watching it. But it was for no reason and I had found something else which I found more interesting that time.

But I will give it a another try.

by McAgger Sun Feb 07, 2016 8:51 pm

Heil mate I promise you it's so good. Just get over the first half of season 1. They're introducing what's happening in the world with the Pattern. But it gets sooo good.

Walter is in the conversation for one of the best TV characters of all time as well. What a goat.
