Without spoilering myself on the thread that reminds me how is everybody doing with WestWorld. Planning to save a few up so I can binge them one Sunday.

Most of the reviews are positive however the show can be an 'acquired taste'

It's ambitious and high production level with good acting. If you have seen Ex Machina or if you are into sci-fi then you will most likely enjoy it.

by McAgger Tue Oct 11, 2016 9:33 pm

I wouldn't call it acquired taste. It's not some artsy fartsy Terrence Mallick production. It's an ambitious western sci-fi project with very high production value and it's HBO. You can't go wrong Tom. you'll love it.

@M99

you not watching Westworld?

by M99 Tue Oct 11, 2016 10:39 pm

Will wait till I hear its really good (if it is).

First two episodes seemed to be slow paced set ups.

How would you know if you haven't seen it?

Episode 2 is not slow paced.

okay put 20 minute effort into reading 1 mans opinion about the show but won't watch the 50 minute episode because apparently someone told him it's slow paced.

And Emma, aren't you one of the biggest fans of The Wire? The Wire is one of the all time slowest paced show there ever is. Specially season 1. It's sets up everything for 8-9 episodes before things start happening.

by RealGunner Tue Oct 11, 2016 10:52 pm

He never said it's bad man. Slow paced doesn't necessarily mean bad.

by M99 Tue Oct 11, 2016 11:50 pm

I didn't read shit lol, I heard from a friend who watched both episodes and actually some of the comments here. That's like 5 minutes of my time.

I'm just waiting to be sure the show is great before starting to watch. The Night Of did not live up to my expectations.

Space drama ‘The Expanse’ has been acquired by Netflix. i suppose this is good news for the production team as they'll have more budget for all those CGI stuff.

Watched the first season last year, it was pretty good.

That's awesome news!

by McLewis Wed Oct 12, 2016 11:13 am

That's only for international audiences though. In North America, SyFy will still air the 2nd season and then Netlflix will have it once it finishes.

by RealGunner Wed Oct 12, 2016 10:04 pm

This looks pretty decent. Only heard about it now. On BBC so can't really be bad

Apparently SyFy of all networks got the strangest show since Stranger Things.

If you guys are interested on a family tv series with a little bit of drama, check out This is Us! Soo good!

Never heard of it until this post.

Has good ratings. I'll check it out. If I love it, I'll give you full credit for this recommendation my friend.

by RealGunner Thu Oct 13, 2016 7:25 pm

Yea let us know James

Could force a slot in for a dramedy

by McAgger Thu Oct 13, 2016 7:54 pm

Saw the whale on the scale and shut down my computer. lol no thanks jefe, there's no way I''m watching this show.

anyways show is a bit too depressing for me. Don't want to be in that mood.

by Onyx Thu Oct 13, 2016 10:21 pm

Is Stranger Things a suspenseful larger than life thriller, 45.2 mins long, bald man goatee protagonist, agile and fast paced?

hmm

by Myesyats Fri Oct 14, 2016 3:56 pm

Similar shows to Lost?

by urbaNRoots Fri Oct 14, 2016 4:13 pm

The Leftovers, The Walking Dead and Orange Is The New Black.

by RealGunner Fri Oct 14, 2016 5:25 pm

OITNB?

Fringe is the closest thing to Lost.

Both created by JJ Abrams.

Amazing show. Have seen it 3 times over. One of my all time favs.

And lol at Urban's recommendation. None of those are similar to Lost.

by Pedram Fri Oct 14, 2016 6:02 pm

I've watched all four seasons of Orange Is The New Black, it has absolutely no similarity with Lost. and Leftovers and Lost are both made by the same director but they're in no way similar to each other.

by El Gunner Fri Oct 14, 2016 7:11 pm

I think urban was referring to the flashback life stories of characters which are in both Lost and OITNB. But yea, besides that they couldn't be any more dissimilar.
