What are you watching right now?

[Still Servant]

CHOSEN... has ANYONE out there seen this? WOW! It is on Crackle.... just amazing!

On your recommendation, I just watched the first season last night. Thank you! You and I really do have the same taste in TV/Movies.

For anybody interested, it's free for everybody on Crackle and you can breeze through it. Each season is six 30 minute episodes. The show is really polished and well made. I didn't know what to expect coming from Crackle, but I'm impressed. The vibe I get from the show is a mix between The Box and The Game. The Box was just alright, but The Game is one of my favorite films of all time.

I can't wait to see where the series goes from here. Thanks again.

Started watching Orphan Black. That is amazing so far, especially when you get to a few episodes in and see just how incredibly versatile lead actress Tatiana Maslany is. I can definitely see why this show gets so much hype.

Also re-watching season 1 of Fargo. Don't do that much these days, especially so soon after it aired and the amount of shows I still need to watch, but I just love this show so much. Satisfying on so many levels.

Judging by your film taste, I would not have pegged you as a Friends guy. That's great.

I too love Friends. I grew up watching it with my sister.

[mae]

That's why I never watched it when it was on TV, because I figured it was this popular mindless sitcom. But it's so fun and funny. I had the same thing happen with How I Met Your Mother. I guess I'm getting softer with age :)

[WeDealInLead]

Watching The Unit and trying real hard not to throw stuff at the TV. While I dig the military jargon and action scenes some of the plot holes are just..argh...PAINFUL. A mission goes south and each member of the unit is to find his own way home from Spain. Most of the story is about the last member getting in shenanigans, trying to rip of an American tourist for money, drug dealers for a boat and then he's back with his crew. When asked how he managed to got home he answers "Don't ask." Roll credits.

Spanish cops also don't frisk and cuff criminals so he was able to smuggle a pistol in a cop car, smash the window and escape in an unknown city. He then seduced a gay British man, punched a local gay guy in the stomach, got on his yacht, magically avoided the coast guard and found his way home without a passport, money all while being on a wanted list for murdering a Spanish politician. Don't ask indeed.

A different member of the unit met a Romanian prostitute and she smuggled him in her cousin's chicken truck to Romania. From Spain...to Romania. Pull up a map and LOL.

Anyway, I haven't watched it yet, but I'm wondering if anybody has seen the 12 Monkeys TV show yet?

I've been watching Six Feet Under. About to wrap up season 3.
Fucking incredible show. Will most likely crack my top 5 when finished.

[Heather19]

Feev, have you not finished the entire series already? I thought this was a rewatch for you? I want to go back and watch them again, but I have so many shows to watch I probably won't get to it too soon.

[fernandito]

Well, there is about a 2 year gap between the time I finished season 1 and the time I started season 2 lol. But no, this is definitely the first time I watch it. Such a powerful series.

[Heather19]

Oh wow, maybe I'm just remembering you starting season 1 then :lol: Well what were you waiting for?! It's a great show :)

[fernandito]

It truly is. I'm systematically making my way through dramas I'm apt to find in the 'best of' lists. I'm advancing in both Twin Peaks (although my interest is starting to wan a little) and SFU.

I have Deadwood next on the list. Subject to change tho lol.

[DoctorDodge]

Damn, I need to watch more Six Feet Under. Loved the first ep, just haven't gotten round to watching the rest of the series yet. So many shows, not enough time. I have rather enjoyed Twin Peaks so far though, and I'm enjoying the shit out of Orphan Black and Bates Motel right now.

[fernandito]

Damn, I need to watch more Six Feet Under. Loved the first ep, just haven't gotten round to watching the rest of the series yet.
One of the main reasons it has resonated with me so strongly is because of its compelling cast of characters. They're all so... human. They're presented with impossible situations and they don't always necessarily handle them with finesse, or honesty. It's a show about life, death, and all the madness in between.



So many shows, not enough time.
Bingo.


I love Twin Peaks. Don't give up :(

I watched the first season of Twin Peaks, but just didn't understand the praise. :(

I think a big part of the appeal was that it did things no other show did at that time, it was a trail blazer of sorts during an era where TV story telling was coming into its own.

Two things that really bug me while watching; the often cringe worthy melodramatic acting, and the funky ass music that plays sometimes lol. It's tough to remain immersed when a tense scene is followed by one with a track that sounds like it belongs on a CBS sitcom.

Trick 'r Treat

[Shannon]

About halfway through The Affair. Excellent, excellent, excellent show. My only slightly negative thought so far --and I can't believe I'm saying this-- is that there is a little too much sex. I only say this because the show is SO good that it is actually a little distracting. It's hard to explain. Anyway, the first season is ten or so episodes, and it won lots of awards and such, blah blah blah, it's awesome ... so watch it.

And this is coming from someone who watches a LOT of TV, didn't expect much from the show in the first place, and who dislikes very strongly two of the main actors (Maura Tierney and Dominic West). And yet, I love it. It's one of those shows you want to keep watching because you've just gotta know what happens next.

Bounty Killer

[DoctorZaius]

Just finished season two of The Fall. Fantastic series from the BBC that can be streamed on Netflix. Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan play out a chilling cat and mouse game of detective and serial killer. The dual points of view portrayed over the 12 episode arc are well worth your time.

[Shannon]

After The Affair (GREAT first season, five out of five), I started BBC's The Missing. Turned it off after one episode, slow and boring. Then I gave The Knick a chance. I like Clive Owen enough and seeing how they did surgery in the 1900's was amazing and very well-researched, but it was a very a slow show as well. Not a lot happens. So, I gave up after three episodes. Then I started and finished Ascension. Nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable enough to finish the 6 episode (3 two-part episode) season. A three out of five rating for that one. And now ... what to watch what to watch ...

Kingdom, season one, here we go.

Seriously, I've already started re-watching season 1. Thornton's great, but I really loved it for Martin Freeman's performance. I really don't want to spoil it, but his performance as Lester Nygaard is so refreshingly different to most of his other performances (which I usually enjoy, especially The Office and The Hobbit, but with Fargo, you finally get to see him play someone just a little bit different to the likable decent British guy).

The creators, like the Coen Brothers, just being cute, in this case.

And I'm glad you're enjoying it. Completely agreed that what really amazed me about it was how much it got the film's atmosphere spot-on. It's something that I wish a lot of TV adaptations and remakes did more often - focusing more on the core elements of what made the original source material so great rather than trying to copy the exact same story.

WRN: What If? Definitely one of the better rom-coms I've seen in recent years.

I loved Fargo the show. Everyone was great in it. I am disappointed "The Bridge" was cancelled. Not many good shows on in the spring. It's not great, but not bad at all.

[WeDealInLead]

I was pretty sure there was a thread about The 100 but I can't find it anywhere. Anyways. The second season just ended. This show is bleak, violent and gruesome. It's for younger audiences but it goes places The Hunger Games (just an example) doesn't dare. The producers don't pull any punches and don't hide the blood, torture and I found myself cringing a few times. My only complaint is that the dialogue is a little corny occasionally. Other than that, if you've liked the YA movies like Insurgent, The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner etc. but with characters who actually get their hands dirty and make tough choices, I highly suggest this. Season two ends with what is basically a war crime by today's standards.

I watched 12 Monkeys last night to refresh my memory before I binge watch the TV show this Friday night (I'm working a night shift). I'm expecting great things. I also have Fargo and then starting the show. A local video place has unlimited rentals for $10 a month. I'm not sure what their profit margin is on that but hey, no complaints.

[fernandito]

I read an article recently on how The 100 is one of last year's best new shoes. I hope to start it soon.

I just finished Fargo a few days ago, excellent show. The only thing I didn't like was
the anticlimactic ending. I wanted Lester to receive a comeuppance proportionate to his many crimes.

[WeDealInLead]

Was it an article on Bleeding Cool? They had a solid write up yesterday. Spoiler-heavy but pretty much how I feel about the show. The first few episodes were a little rocky but after I'd say three episodes the show really gets going. It's on Netflix.

I think this is a rare case of an adaptation being leagues above source material.

Checking out Spooks for the first time. First episode was good, but the 2nd episode kicked things off in a big way. I still remember one particular scene that caused a lot of controversy when it was first broadcast. Even knowing it was coming, it was still shocking and even horrifying to watch. It's definitely got me interested in seeing how the rest of the series pans out, and really curious about the upcoming film The Greater Good.

you've got the 100 spot on! I watched it on the insistence of my father (!!!) and a friend, and while I had some trouble at first it honestly works out really well. Sometimes you think the show is headed in typical direction and then it veers off into something unexpected or surprising! The dialogue is sometimes awful but some of the actors are incredibly talented and the different communities and clans of people are fascinating enough to want to keep going. Loved the end of S2 and I hope we get to see the repercussions of their choices :D

Aside from that I also finished watching Sense8 on netflix last week and I gotta say it was definitely part of why I picked up my DT reread! The sensates are in contact in a way that reminds me of the ka-tet. They can sense each other/share what they're experiencing/have a sort of physical and emotional telepathy going on. It was a great show, the finale was a little disappointing and didn't feel like a finale (so I hope there's a season 2) but it was really enjoyable and so refreshing to see so many different kinds of characters.

[WeDealInLead]

Funny, I haven't checked this thread since I posted about The 100 and now that I have, I find myself watching and agreeing with everything you said about Sense8. I have two episodes left to finish season one.

Feev, I'd put it on hold and move onto Freakshow. You can always go back and finish it later. They're all standalone so you don't need to watch one before the next. Although they did say they were all somehow connected but I wouldn't worry about it.

However, I'm not really sure it makes sense to bail after a season you don't like on American Horror Story. Especially if you liked season 1. The format of the show is always different. Just because you didn't like season 2, doesn't mean you won't like some of the other seasons. Freak Show was probably one of the best yet and Hotel is off to a good start.

That's the problem with anthology shows, the quality of each season can vary greatly.

Look at True Detective. Season 1 was phenomenal, and Season 2 was less than mediocre. Subsequent seasons might drag the needle back towards Good, but by that point the trust with the audience has been broken, and why stick with something that might be good again when you have so many other quality shows out there waiting for you?

I see what you're saying. I guess it's just because I trust the creators to come up with something that is entertaining for the most part. Murphy has shown to be fairly consistent.

Also, let us never speak of True Detective season 2 ever again. I will say this though, if season 3 has a cast I like and the story sounds interesting, I will be back.

[Heather19]

So I guess I should not pursue season 2? I only saw the first episode.

As for American Horror Story, I agree with Mike. I've watched AHS since the beginning and last season was easily up to par with season 1. Also I'm absolutely loving Scream Queens. So they're on a role for me at the moment.

I'm enjoying Scream Queens too, but thought I'd like it more. Part of the fun is that it's SO over-the-top but on the other hand, I wish it took itself and the horror element of it more seriously.

It's completely different than how I thought it would be. I thought it would be much more horror-like. But I love how over the top everything is. While I'm not opposed to another scary show, I do think it's a good balance with AHS, which is definitely more focused on the horror side of things.

Where in Canada are you thinking about moving, James?

I've never watched the Hobbit films in a row. The thought intrigues me though.

I'm watching Extant. It's pretty cool. I'll be starting Orphan Black S3 and The Man in the High Castle tomorrow.

I'm hoping to move to Vancouver Mike, although I'll wait and see what happens. The visa application's being processed, at least.

Oddly enough, I've marathoned The Hobbit movies twice, yet haven't done the same with The Lord of the Rings yet. Must get round to trying that out eventually.

[fernandito]

Any reason for Canada in particular, James?

Because it really is awesome:)

[DoctorDodge]

Absolutely.

That, plus the USA is considerably tighter on immigrants atm. :p

But seriously, I'm just looking for a fresh start and to take a break for a long while. It helps that I've got roots there a well.

Good luck with things, James! That's very exciting. I hope they have internet in Canada, I'd hate to not see you around these boards. :P

I've watched the pilot only. The other episodes are in low quality or they've been taken down. Amazon has the pilot for free so check it out.

The show is everything I want it to be, everything that Minority Report should have been. They completely nailed the look, or at least how I imagined it while reading the book. (Speak in rhyme, all the time.)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RSI4S1E/ref=dv_dp_ep1 Nearly 32,000 reviews for an 8.3 average is pretty good.

It's been so long since I've read TMITHC and I remember precious little of it. I do remember having a gratifying experience while reading it though.

Hope to catch the show at some point.

Finally finished Mad Men last night.

A little underwhelmed with the final stretch, but when I think back on the whole, it's easily a 'Tier 1' show, as Matt would say.

Also that Coca Cola final was genius.

I'm going to start Mr. Robot next since it's only 1 season, and following it up with 24!

[Jacqui]

I'm rewatching Still Game- I do love this show. Watched Chewing the Fat when I was younger, and randomly found this on BBC iPlayer one day. My boyfriend's brother bought me the boxset for my 29th birthday (incidently the day that my son was born) and I like to get the DVDs out every now and again. Also available on UK Netflix.

About a group of Glaswegian pensioners. Very, very funny, I think.

Is anyone else watching the BBC show Stag? Just got done with the first episode, fantastic. Original take on an old theme, and very interesting. Hope it stays consistent.

*a little bit later*

... Well, Stag ended up being a three episode miniseries. Gave the episodes a five, a four, and another four (out of five). Very enjoyable, great characters, but wish it would have been a little bit longer to flesh them put some more. Very quick, enjoyable show.

I enjoyed that show. Watched all three seasons in about a week or two. If I recall there was another season but not available on Netflix so I'm left hanging. It also didn't seem all that believable to me that she wound tell the reverend guy the whole secret. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.

I found all the episodes of season 4 online but will hold off until the DVD's out. It's one of the few shows my wife and I watch together. I did watch S4E1 because I simply couldn't wait.

I get what you mean about them not being heartless. It's that conflict between their mission and their humanity that makes them compelling characters.

Favourite character: Beeman. His tic when someone dumps on him (so, every episode) is great.

Finished watching all 14 episodes of The Office again. Still one of my favourite shows. Now re-watching Derek. I love how different it is to The Office, despite being written by Gervais and in a mockumentary style, plus Derek is such a great character. Definitely one of the sweetest comedies to ever use the word "c**t".

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.

[Jon]

I am watching Lucifer. Not the best show but I am into the score.

[Sai Sheb]

Luther season 2! I watched season one a while back but never got around to season two, so since we are stuck with him as Roland I thought I'd at least try to get to know him on screen a little better...I like it!

[webstar1000]

PLANET EARTH 2. The first one was just breathtaking in every aspect... the second is well... WATCH IT.

[becca69]

Just finished AHS 6.

Anyone watching Channel Zero: Candle Cove on Syfy? I thought this show was pretty creepy. It seems it will have a new story line each season in the vein of AHS.

[Ricky]

It's on my To Watch list but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. And I think it is supposed to be an anthology series.

On a related note, I was underwhelmed by the finale of AHS last night.

I've seen a lot of negative reviews. Am I the only one who really liked this season?

[Ricky]

Well, I didn't not like it, but it lacked focus for me. I mean, in the finale alone we had, what? Four different "shows"? I think they thought they were being a little too clever. Plus I had a hard time caring about most of the characters.

I haven't seen the finale just yet, but it seemed like a lot of the episodes felt very similar to me. I also didn't really care for any of the characters. I tip my cap for trying something different, but I'm not sure it worked for me as a whole.

Just got caught up on this past weeks episode of Westworld. Such a great show.

And I agree about the finale of AHS. That was a bit of a disappointment. I enjoyed the first half of the season but then when it switched gears it kinda fell apart for me.

I am really getting into "Skins." I cannot believe it.

[DoctorDodge]

The British teen drama?

[DoctorDodge]

WRN: True Detective, season 2 ep 5. Mainly finishing this so I can feel less guilty when I rewatch season 1 very, very shortly. I've gotta admit though, 2 is surprising me. I don't know about anyone else, but the final scene of ep 4 was fucking intense. Not the equivalent of that long shot in season 1, but a great, tense scene in its own right, I thought.

With ep 5, I'm surprised the direction the show took halfway through with the 2 month skip. I know the first season took a time jump or two, but this one seems focused on moving the characters outside of official detective work. Curious to see where this goes.

[kaufen]

I love Spartacus!

Now watching Once Upon A Time on Netflix and loving it.

[zelig]

I saw Bev mention Spotless so started watching and I'm enjoying it. Started off a little slow but it has been building and getting much better.

[webstar1000]

Going to start this mysterious new show that nothin has been released about on Netflix tomorrow. It's called OA. Plan to kill it in a day.... will let you know!

I'll be watching that over Christmas break. Really like Brit Marling.

[WeDealInLead]

OA is next on my list, right after we finish Orphan Black s4.

[webstar1000]

OA is the most original fun I have had with TV... maybe ever. I can't stop. Make sure you have about 10 hours free... cause you can't stop. It's like a drug... gets into your head and won't let you think of anything else other than finding out what this is about. 10/10. The best show I have seen in a long time... flat out... amazing. Now excuse me while I go back into this world.. thank you Netflix for making this:)

I love you, Web, but have you already forgotten about Westworld? :lol: Is it just the high of a fun new show, or is it possible there can be a show on TV that already surpasses Westworld?

I'm going to need to hear from a few more people on this one.

[webstar1000]

True. Ending wasn't at good as the start. Just finished it all BUT I will say it's some refreshing show. I couldn't stop watching it. Enjoy:)

Been watching it all day. Have 2 episodes left. Very engaging and thought provoking.

Wow, strong ending. Great show. I haven't seen Westworld yet so can't say if I feel this surpasses it, but it's a solid show with some breathtaking scenes.

I am still thinking about the ending... and not sure how I feel about it... might do a re-watch of it. I really loved this show. And yes I liked it better than Westworld.

[zelig]

Since finishing it last night I've thought more about it and I kept coming back to the ending...

and that scene in the cafeteria, and can't help but feel it could have been stronger if done a little differently. I felt the way that shooter was taken down after the whole movement performance was an anti-climax. But still, not enough of an issue for me to ruin anything. It was a great show. And I absolutely loved those movement scenes. The choreography of it all and the whole idea of it.

That was my issue to. That was my issue with the ending... I think if it had been more powerful.. it would have hit home more. I just loved the show. I think that was my only complaint... but you nailed it.

I watched the 8-episode Amazon series Goliath, starring Billy Bob Thornton, William Hurt, Maria Bello and many more. It's very Grisham-esque, and Thornton is terrific in it as an alcoholic lawyer who co-founded a huge firm that is now run by Hurt with an iron fist and a touch of insanity. Thornton's latest case has him suing a military contractor represented by his former firm, where his ex-wife still works.

[zelig]

I watched that about a month ago and really enjoyed it.

Billy Bob Thornton was crossing a street while talking to his client.

Oh yes!

It was a shocking scene and I was very sad to see Ever Carradine go. I've had a secret crush on her for years.

I'll get to it eventually, but I have to admit Netflix has done very little to promote the show. At least as far as what I've seen. Also, they couldn't pick a worse name for a show.

[zelig]

Just finished Spotless. Thanks Bev for mentioning this one. It was great. And a nice, although predicable cliffhanger at the end. Will have to wait for season 2 now.

It has a definite Breaking Bad vibe -- a guy who runs a crime scene cleaning business is forced to work for a crime lord, played by the guy who was Mr. Bates on Downton Abbey. I liked it a lot.

I just started a Swedish series on Netflix called Occupied -- it's about Russian forces occupying Norway in the near future to force them to start oil production up again to supply the EU. Based on an idea from Jo Nesbo.

[mae]

Based on reality, it sounds like :borg:

The exorcist show has started season 2, first episode was pretty good. I think this season may be better than the first.

I'm watching The goddamn Punisher. That construction site scene in E1 had me pumping my fist.

I am so behind on TV it's not even funny. I think I've missed about 7 episodes of Gotham, 4 of The Blacklist, haven't even started The Exorcist S2, and only 2 eps. into Stranger Things S2.

When I get behind, that's when I'm able to tell who my true friends are. When I say friends, I mean TV shows. The ones I like the least are the ones that end up stacking up multiple episodes.

I'm looking at you Designated Survivor, which dealt with most edge-of-your-seat storyline this year - who broke the White House vase?!?

[DoctorDodge]

WRN: American Vandal. This Netflix series is absolutely genius. It's not just a great satire of their own documentary shows, it even looks at what happens when these documentaries become popular. It just makes it feel a little more grounded, even while the subject matter is fucking hysterical.

Agreed. This was a brilliant show. Finished it in a couple days.

I just finished Alias Grace. I haven't heard many people talk about this one. I'm assuming it's the period piece aspect that is turning people off. I really enjoyed the show. It's a slow burn for sure, but the story is very layered. You really need to pay attention because you really don't know what is true and what is not. Like Handmaid's Tale, which is based on a book by the same author, Alias Grace deals with a lot of themes about women and how they are treated and perceived, especially by a male dominated society.

Sarah Gadon is the real standout here. She turns in easily one of the best performances of the year.

I finished it really quickly too. Don't often do that, actually, but I was really amazed by how great it was. Not just as a hilarious comedy, but as a show that really sucked you in and even delivered a couple of gut punches. A very well made satire.

Currently, I'm watching the Red Riding trilogy from 2009. A trilogy of TV films based on the quartet of books of the same name (yeah, they skipped the second one entirely), I've been meaning to watch this for a long time. Especially when I started reading the books last year. It's loosely based on real events, particularly when it focuses on the Yorkshire Ripper, but it's more focused on a fictionalised tale of police corruption. Very dark, very gritty and pure noir. Just this weekend, I finally finished reading them, and while they weren't without their faults, overall I really enjoyed them. So I was eager to watch the adaptation.

It's really interesting so far. Like the novels, each of the films has a different lead protagonist and set in a different year. They even allow for a bit of variation in style and look, as each film has a different director. I've watched the first two films, both really great. A pre-Spider-Man Andrew Garfield stars in the first one, and it might be the best performance of him I've seen yet. Something I particularly enjoy about the trilogy is that, while they make a few changes to the novels, they retain a lot of the darkness and grittiness, at least. There's a torture scene in the books that I was shocked to see on-screen.

(Although, I can understand why the trilogy was directly referenced in this SNL sketch. I'm of course ok with the strong Northern accents, but I'm pretty sure almost anyone outside of the UK is fucked without subtitles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPY-sCiRCeA)

I can't remember if I'm the only person here that watches Search Party. Anyway, I enjoyed season 1. I loved how vapid and self involved the characters were. The show really nails millennials and what many people find infuriating about them. Season 2 has really upped the stakes and I'm enjoying it even more.

If Alfred Hitchcock made a TV show about insufferable, self involved millennials, it would be season 2 of Search Party.

[Ben Staad]

Finished Dark and really enjoyed everything except the season finale. I'm still thinking through a few things but overall think it is a well done program.

[fernandito]

Binged watched the hell out of Stranger Things over the weekend. Really, really enjoyable show, if a little too derivative at times. (Seriously, SK must be doubly flattered at all the references to his works)

Should be finished with it by week's end, looking to jump to Ozark.
