Has anyone watched TBS's People of Earth yet? I watched the first four episodes yesterday and really liked it.

[Ricky]

It's on my list. I didn't know that they were doing a binge-a-thon. Did they release the whole season at once?

I don't think so. The first 4 episodes were on On Demand. That's how I watched them. Let me know if you check it out.

Edit: Gah! That reminds me that I'm so far behind on Angie Tribeca.

[Ricky]

I will!

And I think I watched two episodes of the second season of Angie Tribeca. They weren't as funny as the first season ones, so I just got out of it. Maybe when you start back up it'll motivate me. Haha.

It's funny because I literally just posted about People of Earth in the "What Are You Watching Right Now" thread. Because I'm lazy, I'm just going to copy and paste what I wrote.

People of Earth on TBS. Not bad. Not bad at all. TBS has a decent stable of comedies now. Angie Tribeca is good, although season 2 wasn't as strong as season 1. Also, Wrecked had its moments.

Brody Gone... show shit.

[Still Servant]

Incorrect. Last season was actually pretty solid.

I need to pick this show up again. I stopped watching after I think season 3. I was so into it at the time.

Anyone know who sings the cover on that trailer?

[webstar1000]

Incorrect. Last season was actually pretty solid.

I watched it.. and it is not near as good. It was ok but the show has gone to shit. It really has... I am surprised it is still being made. I don't think I will be wasting another season of my time

I disagree. Now that they moved on from the whole Brody thing, I think it's been pretty good. Saying it's shit is not fair. It may not be great, but I'm not sure it's fair to call it shit. There are so many shows that warrant that label. Quantico season 2 is shit. Blindspot season 2 is shit. No way you can put it in with those shows.

My main problem with the show is that they moved way too fast in season 1 with the whole Brody thing. They could have milked that for multiple seasons. I'm not sure what the rush was.

Though I don't enjoy Homeland as much as I did when they had the Carrie-Brody dynamic (though I still really like Carrie), it's still entertaining with the last two more self-contained seasons. Few shows do hold-your-breath suspense as well as Homeland does. I'm glad this season is back in the US (NYC).

Quantico season 2 is shit. Blindspot season 2 is shit.

I'm only a few episodes into the new season of Blindspot but what I've seen isn't terrible at all. I haven't started the new season of Quantico yet, but once I read there was a new terrorist threat and this season is also jumping back and forth in time, my interest dropped off a little.

As I feared, Blindspot season 2 has felt formulaic and too familiar. I feel like many of the episodes feel like I've seen them before. I should have probably put something like the new MacGyver in my example instead I suppose.

I'm almost finished my The X-Files marathon. I decided I was going to watch the whole series this year. I'm a few episodes away from finishing season eight. I'm glad I decided to re-watch the show. I missed so many cool references and nuances in the exchanges between Scully and Mulder when the show first aired. Their chemistry is out of this world.

I ill be watching this. I have bee waiting for over a month.

[Still Servant]

This has potential to be really good. Snowpiercer was one of my favorite films a few years back. There's a lot they could do with this story.

[Lookwhoitis]

looking forward to this. I thought season one was great and I loved the books.

[zelig]

Just finished watching The Crown. I loved it. So surprised at how good it was. Some of the best scenes and writing I've experienced in a long time.

The Archie Comics are coming to television:

I had been watching Designated Survivor however it quickly lost it's charm. The plot is interesting but it has turned into this larger than plausible scenario with the lead going from hang dog to bad ass and back again. Also there is some very direct and obtrusive broad stroke agenda thrown in there just for..,charm?

Agree. I loved this when it started!!! now... losing interest and fast!

[Ricky]

I really liked Timeless when it started, but now I'm really needing more mythology-based episodes to keep me interested. The episodic ones are fun, but it's beginning to lose my interest.
