somme Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Mr Robot gets dumber with every episode. I only got to the first episode of season 2. Granted I was drunk whilst I watched it but I was very bored.
Shorty Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Unfortunately my Prime membership ran out and took The Americans with it D:
Shorty Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Giving Gotham Season 2 another go (hated Barbara so much I couldn't really stomach it) and it's really good! They really build an awesome Batman-esque atmosphere, creates a gritty comic-book world better than most. Did just have to laugh at an episode though where five cops died, but Jim only felt bad about one of them because she had a name and a speaking role. That cop even got a funeral scene whilst presumably the other four were shipped off to the incinerator in cardboard boxes. Wonder if there's a TV Trope for that....

Ashley Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Well there's 'put on a bus' which is where a character just disappears or goes somewhere and never come back. Maybe that?
Shorty Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Bake Off has gone to Channel 4 Well at least I won't need a TV license to watch it on demand next year....
bob Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Urgh. They probably won't be able to get Mel, Sue or even Paul and Mary to go with it, meaning it'll be completely different. It's basically Top Gear all over again.
Shorty Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Well since they wanted £25mil from the BBC which they didn't get, then Ch 4 jumped in and bought a 3 year deal, Bake Off can probably afford to lure those guys away... Edit: welp, I stand corrected. Edited September 14, 2016 by Shorty
Ashley Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Watched the first (and so far only) two seasons of UnReal recently. It's ridiculous and trashy as hell but entertaining enough if you ignore ridiculous plot contrivances. Plus I do like Constance Zimmer, who is a good actor and has a great name.
Happenstance Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Urgh. They probably won't be able to get Mel, Sue or even Paul and Mary to go with it, meaning it'll be completely different. It's basically Top Gear all over again. [tweet]775719595097387008[/tweet]
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 When the BBC finally lose Match of the Day for good, that'll be the end of my tv licence. It's the biggest con going.
Ashley Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 You know you need it got more than just the BBC right?
Shorty Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I don't have my TV cable box hooked up and don't have a license. I only watch netflix and catch-up TV. I can watch other standard channels online on catch-up without a license. iPlayer has now changed to be under the TV license umbrella.
Ashley Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Why aren't you all watching Halt and Catch Fire? Third season just wrapped and it was phenomenal. A great character driven show. Plus it shows people playing Mario!
Shorty Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Poor marketing? Three seasons in and I've never heard of it before.
Ashley Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 It never actually came out over here... But all three seasons are on Prime. Plus I've mentioned it numerous times in this thread so really it's on you.
Happenstance Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Rewatching X Files at the moment now I've got the blu ray collection, still such a good show! They've done a good job with the blu ray as well. I'm only on the first season still but it's nice and crisp compared to the murkyness of the original releases.
MindFreak Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Just watched the first and so far only episode of Taboo. That was intense, extremely beautiful and interesting. If they keep this production value and level of mystery, this will be a good ride through winter! Highly recommended.
Naar Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 The Daily Show, with Trevor Noah. What is up with that? He/the show is a 1 trick pony only bashing Trump. That got old after about 15 minutes, but he's still doing it! Put that guy out of his misery and cancel the show.
drahkon Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Watched the first episode of Black Mirror just now. It was brilliant. And worryingly real...
bob Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Just seen the trailer for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 3, and really looking forward to it. Thing is, I can't work out if it's actually really good, or if I only like it because I'm weird? Does anyone else watch it? What's the general consensus?
Ashley Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I watch it but mostly because it's their. It has good moments, but mostly it's just bubblegum.
Sméagol Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I like it, especially because Ellie Kemper is adorable. But I only make the effort to watch a few shows, and comedies aren't a priority. I occasionally watch when my brother's watching.
Ashley Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Let's hope we get the Bunny and Kitty spin-off starring Dean Winters and Will Arnett.
Magnus Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but the best sitcom on Netflix by far is Bojack Horseman. No other sitcom makes me want to kill myself quite so much. On a different note, how great does the new DuckTales look?
