BloodBoal 7,538 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 First Con Man Trailer Unveils Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk’s Web Series CON MAN is a lighthearted take on the personalities, luminaries, comic book stores, and characters they have run into during their years in the sci-fi community and convention circuit, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans. CON MAN centers around the post-show life of Wray Nerely (Alan Tudyk), the pilot and co-star of SPECTRUM, a sci-fi series which was cancelled before it’s time and eventually became a cult classic beloved by fans. Wray’s good friend, Jack Moore (Nathan Fillion) starred in the series and has gone on to become a major celebrity, while Wray continued to struggle to find his big break. While Jack enjoys the life of an A-lister, Wray tours the sci-fi circuit as a guest of conventions, comic book stores, and lots of pop culture events. The show will explore all the weird and crazy things that happen to Wray along the way, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans.

Not to mention most of these new shows feature such unlikable characters. I realise it's "ambiguity" and "gritty realism" they're going for, but it's just making me switch off.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Nah but there was a time when Channel 4 used to play repeats (reruns) all Sunday morning and weeknight tea times, till they replaced it with Big Bang.The only show I've binged on twice is Curb Your Enthusiasm, which I'm currently half way through.

Because I didn't like any of the characters, the sex felt gratuitous and the violence was there just to shock people.Nah, I switched it off after 6 episodes.

In fact, Hill Street Blues is almost unwatchable these days. Columbo (Netflix has got them all!) clearly stems from more innocent times ... Dallas still rocks, though! "Nobody gives you power.

Tits are nice but they get boring after a while, and the whole thing feels like a cynical exercise in satisfying the bloodlust of a society of simpletons.And the gasps I hear from work colleagues when I say I can't stand the show have to be heard to be believed. They're usually followed by some uppity 20-something intern who says "I've never known anyone who watched it and not liked it - there are two types of people, those who watch it and love it, and those who haven't seen it".Oh bugger off, I say.
