Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Broadchurch S03E01 Real good. Two thumbs up. Already seems better than season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Vice Principals Season 1 A mixed bag that I'd have to lean towards not recommending over recommending. There were a bunch of moments that really made me laugh, but the characters are so unlikeable and some character development is so poorly done I think it failed more than it succeeded. It's really, really hard to root for either main character because they're both such major assholes, and they do such bad things to genuinely nice people. I get that is the point but it just makes not not my favorite kind of show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I tried Travelers on Netflix but it's simply not for me. The Crown is a bit too serious. I'm really not that interested in the royal history film of the Brexiteers. A friend recommended HBO's The Night Of with John Turturro. I might check that out.

Anyways it's not really like that because The Night Of is an seasonal anthology show (like True Detective, Fargo, AHS, ACS, etc) and the quality changes in completely different ways.

Jay 37,372 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 In that regard it's similar because The Night Of pilot got me quite excited for another great new peak TV show, but then as the weeks went on, it was clear it wasn't... Kind of like Homeland really, although at least this is a one and done season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,551 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Because of Bill Paxton's death, I guess, and since we're not going to see any more performances from him, for me, that makes it sad, and poignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 That Fincher trailer is so ordinary (it looks and feels like everything else that you have seen) that my brain doesn't register what I'm seeing. OTOH, that little Fargo S3 clip (with no dialogue at all, BTW) got all my attention. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the second season. So far I haven't really had any issues with the show. Book One is the most consistent in quality but that's probably due to the fact that the creators wrote every episode and each one was directed by the same person.

nightscape94 965 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I certainly liked the second season, wouldn't say I loved it. Book One definitely has a consistency in story that they never really re-captured in the subsequent seasons. You can really feel the gap left by Aaron Ehasz, who was an essential writing talent on The Last Airbender, but who didn't return for Korra.

KK 3,307 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Is anyone else watching Noah Hawley (Fargo)'s Legion? I wasn't sure what to think of it, but having just finished the 4th episode, I'm convinced this is something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,372 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I also thought Legion looked bad, but its getting rave reviews! http://www.avclub.com/tv/legion/ and This is an amazing show. You’re already watching it, right? Or is this the same thing we had to do with Noah Hawley’s Fargo, where you waited until the first season was almost over and everyone had to yell at you before you finally tuned in?

There's all sorts of weird stuff in it...like some macabre sequence of strange visuals pulled from different genres/movies. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it really, but I do think it's a cool show to have around. It's definitely not as good as Fargo. And the writing is on the weak side, but the last episode had some pretty cool moments, so I think I'll stick through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glóin the Dark 1,222 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I was vaguely aware of this "superhero" show Legion, but hadn't paid any attention to it until a few days ago when I realised that it's a Noah Hawley creation. On the basis of how great Fargo is (especially the second season), I thought anything else that he's behind should be worth a shot. I've watched the first two episodes of Legion so far and thought they're excellent, with some real brilliance; I can't wait to see more. As to whether it's tiresome to have another show in the superhero / mutant genre, I wouldn't know because I haven't seen the other ones...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've only ever seen one Martin Lawrence movie, but it was enough to know I was sick of them already... Quintus - these days about as interested in the superhero genre as he is chick flicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
