I'm 3 or so episodes in and it's been great so far. Been waiting and received an email from Netflix a couple of days ago. It'll have to wait though, already in the midst of a binge session on another show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm absolutely in love with Pearl, but the three gems are great in their own way. Steven is very well done as well, he can be quite charming for what could have easily been just another annoying little kid. I remember I kept reading a ton of comic book artists on my Twitter feed going bananas over it and I ended up watching it and I understood why.

Jay 37,370 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Angie Tribeca 1x03 The Famous Ventriloquist Did It Hilarious! I have no love for that Jeff Dunham guy (never watched anything he's done) but he was good enough here. It was a delight to see Sarah Chalke again, I wish she would get another steady gig! (I still mourn the loss of Mad Love). Love the flashbacks in every ep so far that tie into the current storyline. Just a really funny show all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brónach 1,302 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 It's actually very well scored. Often more with colour and tone specific to things rather than motivic, although there are recurring melodies coming from Rebecca Sugar's songs every once in a while.

Naïve Old Fart 9,550 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 ...and she's still absolutely fabulous!!! Actually, to men of a certain age, she'll always be Purdy.

A24 4,345 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I love the ancient Anthony Hopkins one. Can't wait for Westworld!

Jay 37,370 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Angie Tribeca 1x04 The Thumb Affair Probably the weakest episode yet, but still funny. Surprised they stopped the running gag of showing a guy yelling after the opening credits, but I suppose that gag only had so many variations you could do. Weakest Alfred Molina bit so far too. But there were many other funny parts throughout, like more Angie flashbacks that tie right into the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,206 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Finished The X-Files and caught up with the new season. I was going to watch Millennium next, but apparently Netflix has pulled that in the meantime. Back to Gilmore Girls now. I've also noticed that the second season of Helix has arrived on Netflix.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 7 more episodes of Breaking Bad left to go. It's held up beautifully. One thing I have noticed second time around is just how slow going it can be for great lengths of time, almost to the point that I'm not sure if they would be able to make it in quite the same way if it were made today.
