TV Show Thread

You started in season 2?

 

I've seen it all

I just caught S2 on tv a couple weeks ago and watched from there

 

I'm intrigued:



Will it be better than the remake from years ago??

 

The Wire is still the greatest TV show ever made.

 

I think I saw at quick glance that William Hurt was cameo'd...will probably be better than for sure, as that remake was nearly a Disney campfest. It looks like they borrowed some pages from Interstellar.

 

Well anyway, the wife and I started this last night. Actually knocked out 5 of the 10 episodes. It's nothing special or that hasn't been done before but fairly entertaining nonetheless. The first episode was a little rough but luckily it got better. They do try to force the 90's nostalgia too much. I get that's kinda what the show is about but I don't need to hear "phat", "all that and a bag of chips" and "da bomb" all in the same 20 minute episode.

If you were middle/high school age in the 90s, you might enjoy it. If not, probably skip it as you've seen likely seen plenty of similar high school tales already. This certainly isn't the 90's version of Freaks and Geeks or anything.

 

Having now finished the show, I wasn't giving it enough credit here. Show is actually pretty fantastic. It really hit its stride around episode 4 or 5. The two lead kids are really great, particularly the girl.

 

I pretty much watch exclusively Netflix but here's a couple good shows I'm waiting for another season to come out.

Mindhunter - 70's drama show documenting the origins of the FBI psychological investigations. Based off true agents. Originally coined the term "serial killer".

Borderline - an English show similar to the office (they talk to the camera) but based around an small airport security team. I thought it was funny.

Pacific Heat- Australian show similar to Archer. Hilarious.

Stranger things- if you watch it you know.

Bob and David - basically a continued version of Mr Show.

The Birthday Boys - similar to The whitest kids you know.

One Punch Man - awesome anime. Better than DBZ

Attack on Titan- really good anime although has some very strange and creepy moments.

Orange is the new black-

F is for family-

The ranch- season 3 and the show is already going downhill. If master son isn't around, might as well just stop there.

The magicians - it's alright. My wife liked it more than me.

Everything sucks- just started. It's a 90's themed show. I think they try too hard sometimes to try reminding the viewer of that. The story overall isn't great.

Netflix also started a weekly show, the Joel Mchale show. Basically a continuation of The Soup.
