General Television Discussion

I'm watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix now and it's seriously one of the funniest series in years! Wow.

[Ricky]

I agree. I wasn't expecting it to be that funny based on the trailer, but it's one of my favorite comedies in years. I can't wait for the DVD.

[mae]

Yeah, Ellie Kemper is amazingly funny (and super cute). This was totally a surprise. Cannot wait for Season Two now.

"Stop! Hammer time!"

[fernandito]

I watched a random episode once and I liked it. It was pretty funny. Might get to it once I clear my backlog.

[Still Servant]

Ellie Kemper is a doll. She has great comedic timing and is a surprisingly versatile actress.

DID YOU KNOW: Jon Hamm was Ellie Kemper's 8th grade drama teacher?

[fernandito]

Have any of you jabronis seen the show Rectify?

[DoctorZaius]

Anybody watched the first season of Better call Saul? I thought it was very good

Watching it right now. I couldn't get into it at first, then came Mike's backstory. What an episode! I have two left, but nothing has matched that one episode. A mixed review for me.

Have any of you jabronis seen the show Rectify?

For me, if I remember, I did watch the first season. I think. If it is what I think it is, I personally was not a fan of the show.

A new show airs on Wednesdays called "Zoo." Where cats are fighting back from the world and there is some kind of storyline of a dominant "pupil" in the eye where animals fight back against humanity. Being curious, I watched 2 episodes and I almost committed suicide. I had to re-watch a couple of episodes of Game of Thrones and Hannibal and the finale of Penny Dreadful to not swallow too many pills. I'm not on suicide watch anymore, but I'm getting nervous I might be back on the ledge with all the crap out there.

Is anyone watching the new Scream tv series?

Is anyone watching the new Scream tv series?

No. How is it?
I've enjoyed Wayward Pines, but I heard 10 episodes only for 3 books? I know you stated it is rushed. I like it, but it seems rushed.

[Heather19]

Yeah, I'm not huge on the series. But that is probably most likely do to the fact of how much I love the books. It's strayed pretty far from the stories, and a lot of the moments I loved in the books are gone. Also having read all the books, I really wonder how they're going to squeeze everything else in there.

As for Scream, I just watched the first two episodes. It's ok. Although I really do wish they used the ghostface costume instead of altering it a little bit. It's just very iconic Scream.

They altered the classic Scream mask?! That should be the death penalty! But I will look into it as I'm only missing 2 episodes. It HAS to be better then "The Zoo."

[Heather19]

Not the best picture, but I couldn't find a screencap from the show of the full costume.

In all I liked it. I am trusting it get even better. I am DYING to see the defiant "old man" in the wheelchair (Hector). Perhaps he won't be in a wheelchair. Maybe not old. Maybe young and in the wheelchair.

I have Zoo next on my to-read list (the previews looked interesting enough that I wanted to read the book beforehand). I'm hoping it's good (never read any James Patterson before), but may end up skipping the series if I'm not a fan of the book.

Is anyone watching the new Scream tv series?

I haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list. I'm hoping I can watch it this weekend.

I don't think it's too bad. I saw episode 1. I'm guessing the deformed mask is for establishing a link to the original deformed killer? I'm seeing another film to TV series is coming, Minority Report

That's James Patterson for you.

[Still Servant]

Anybody watching Humans? It's not too bad. There's a lot of robot themed TV shows on right now, which leads me to Extant.

I'm actually really enjoying the season so far. They've made a great deal of changes and it's really propelled the story this year.

[Ricky]

I've seen the first episode of Humans, but haven't watched any further yet. Lots of new summer shows to catch up on.

I agree with you about the Extant changes. Though

Spoiler:

John's death felt a little too convenient, his car just stopping on the train tracks. I'm wondering if Julie had something to do with it.

I hope this season stays this focused.

I know a lot of people don't like Community, but regardless of what you think of the show, you have to appreciate this scene. It's the final scene of Season 6, but it's not a spoiler. I thought it was really perfect. It might be too meta for some, but I thought it was great.
