Quintus 5,518 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Of those I want to watch Sons and Horror Story. I've heard The Shield is a classic but from past experience I don't tend to get into cop dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,456 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I'm losing interest in Fringe because I know it's end is brutally disappointing, so if I give up now, it's the same net effect.

Jay 40,607 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 "another" show with a rubbish ending? Which show are you insinuating had a rubbish ending already?Dexter was a show that was GREAT for 4 years, then started steadily declining, then had a final season - and especially final episode - that were SO BAD, I wouldn't recommend the show to ANYONE. Had you asked me any time during seasons 1-4 I would have said it's a must see, one of the best shows on TV....... but now, I'd just stay away, the ending is such garbage!

Wojo 2,456 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 It'd be an interesting discussion to compare these shows with so-called rubbish endings against shows that jumped the shark before they ended and made people less outraged about how, and probably just relieved that they did end.

And an article that dissected the finale of Breaking Bad totally spoiled the end of The Shield for me.How far are you into it? The show really isn't worth the time if you're not feeling it. Although as I explained in the show's thread, I found the finale to be surprisingly good, among a sea of shit that were Seasons 4 and 5. I'd say it ends quite well for what the writers and producers had to deal with. It never reaches its potential, which was always great, but there are some great episodes/moments throughout the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I only recognize him from the lousy Lost in Space remake, but I know he's in other stuff. I didn't see the second Holmes movie. I will finish the show someday.

A24 4,667 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Started to watch S3 of Homeland. Nobody here finds Claire Danes guilty of overacting? Bi-Polar or not, I find her over-the-top facial expressions distracting and annoying. It doesn't feel credible. Other than that, I'm still sorta entertained by the show.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,308 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yea, by the end of Dexter I was just relieved it was all over finallyOut-stayed its welcome?Most definitely. That show ran for too long.Started to watch S3 of Homeland. Nobody here finds Claire Danes guilty of overacting? Bi-Polar or not, I find her over-the-top facial expressions distracting and annoying. It doesn't feel credible. Other than that, I'm still sorta entertained by the show.AlexI thought season 3 has been going pretty well for entertainment's sake.But yes, I agree. Claire Danes' overracting can make me cringe sometimes. There are certainly many moments where I find it hard to believe that she made it this far as a CIA agent, and one of their best too apparently. The fact that she's so emotionally invested in everything makes that premise even less credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,647 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Without getting too technical on medical issues, but Dane's behaviour is not a role model for this kind of dysfunction. She seems not bi-polar, only polar, since she never gets out of the manic phase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,518 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Homeland was on my radar after the sterling word of mouth surrounding the first episodes.

Jay 40,607 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 I still say season 4 was just as entertaining as the first three. That trailer was quite odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,308 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 And I still say season 4 was the writers trying too hard to emulate Dan Hartmon. It ultimately came off very gimmickey without the same heart and soul of the first 3 seasons.And I think the trailer was intentionally edited that way, as if advertising for some B-comedy flick.

Glóin the Dark 1,373 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Fresh Meat on Channel Four, whose third series has just concluded. I had doubts that a sitcom about a group of student housemates would be to my taste, but this has grown into a really excellent programme. One of the best comedies I've seen in a while.

nightscape94 967 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Netflix finally added the second season of American Horror Story to its streaming lineup, aptly titled "Asylum". Overall a very good season of television and definitely a worthy successor to the first season. They only issue I had is that they tried to cram a little too much into this season. As a result it didn't feel as cohesive; contained a few too many subplots.Great acting again all around. This show certainly stands out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,839 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I am just finishing The IT Crowd. It just tickles my funnybone in such a typical British way, mixing rather rude and crude jokes with some really funny situational comedy and witty dialogue. The characters are brilliantly cooky.

Jay 40,607 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yea, very funny show! Though I didn't like the latter seasons as much as the earlier. The original boss was much better than the replacement one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original boss was much better than the replacement one.I think both of the bosses are great in their own entirely mad way. The rude son of Denholm spouting dramatic dialogue is extremely funny especially since he happens to have that kind of voice. The idea that the company has this crazy little world with these crazy characters inside is somehow so tickling and the way the comedy comes from transplanting very common everyday occurrences in this world and into the lives of the nerds in different ways.

Jay 40,607 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Season 4 was a bit odd though, with a lot of scenes outside of the office. I wish they had been able to do one final season to wrap everything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
