A24 4,364 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Absolutely not! It's a 7/10 show like Battlestar Galactica. Entertaining and easy to watch when it's late in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Bates Motel is definitely lower tier stuff, but still pretty good. Haven't seen Hannibal though, so can't judge there (though I'm hesitant to check it out).Farhpgo may not be on Breaking Bad's level, but it's a great tribute to original, managing to capture its tone in atmosphere and characters and still be a beast of its own.

mstrox 6,661 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Anything that lists Firefly that high as the #7 "best TV show of all time" is null and void (I liked Firefly well enough, but I would draw a pretty thick line between "great" and "fun," and Firefly falls squarely on the latter side.It's aggregating users' votes. Where's the issue?It is aggregating the votes of the kind of people who rate things on IMDB, which I would think is a very narrow subset of viewers (myself included, of course) that trends toward the young and geeky.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I like Firefly, but I don't think it should be that high.Game Of Thrones at #2?Seems like a very populist list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So you like cozy campfire chats, nightscaper? To hear people talk about themselves is the worst kind of character development I can imagine. I didn't mind it for someone like Daryl, who never talks about himself, or much in general. He keeps so much hidden that I accepted his chat with Beth about the type of person he was without thinking it lacked creativity. He was the one that needed to say it; get it out in the open; admit certain things to himself about his past and his relationship with his brother. Like getting the poison out.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Steef would really enjoy The Walking Dead actually. It's an inconsistent but always watchable piece of pulp, one of two still ongoing shows I bother to follow. The production value is of a very high standard in TWD, which certainly works in its favor.It also has those great wow factor moments like Game of Thrones. Some truly gut wrenching shocks in there, and it's at the those times that it touches on brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,364 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yesterday's episode was completely destroyed by the reuniting of Glen and Maggie. I'm slightly intrigued by Terminus though ... what kinda place is it really? Just one woman cooking food? Where is everyone else?! (Twilight Zone theme ... or TWD theme, of course).I think Steef will enjoy it too but for now he only wants the cream of the crop and I can't sell as such.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The Sopranos ... you will love it to death. You're talking god tier here, BB and True Detective levels of quality. The Walking Dead is in some ways the visceral thrill seeking lesser alternative to those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The last line of dialogue was very controversial, Alex!AMC pulled rank and made them shoot an alternate, which ended up being used.

They know the rules on tv and they felt a beeep would have undermined the ending. If you need to hear the word it's in that Leo movie from last year about 300 times.
