NICE. DETECTIVE PIRAS IS BAE

oops,not Piras, she's the detective in a book I read. Raquel!

i watched BODYGUARD. pretty solid, very much like a UK 24 i guess except w/better performances. A million red herrings, which didn't bother me too much. Keeley Hawes and Gina McKee were the standouts in the show, and I liked Stuart Bowman as the glowering MI5 prick. pretty racist at the end there, though!!

Such a bad ending! Other than that I enjoyed it. Similar to other British mystery/thriller shows where they are so involved in having a twist at the end that the ending can feel cheap or unearned. See: Broadchurch.

Thought Umbrella Academy was patchy and mostly bad but Ellen Page in full Gerard Way drag at the end almost made it all worth it. But yeah, it was very, very MCR.

Did not realise until it was over that Klaus was played by Nathan from Misfits!

this makes me happy that i know 0 about MCR.i couldn't even name a song that Gerard Butler wrote.

I feel like Ellen Page was over the nonsense midway through and just phoned in the rest or else was badly miscast. I can't decide about her. I still thought the whole thing was overall fun though.

I thought Umbrella Academy was a little overstuffed w/the time travel agent subplots but actually liked the ending. They fully committed to the season being a story about getting the band back together

half way through the UA and it and i rather like it , granted i had very low expectations going in.

I just started watching 'you' but saw everyone upthread ditched it. It's trashy but I quite like it so far? Apart from the voiceover reminding me of Dexter's smuggest moments. The main girl's face is incredibly irritating though.

very Dexter .it's pretty silly but we watched it

Oh, I thought most of the people here watched it (you). It was ridiculous but fun.

i loved it a lot but i'm a big fan of ridiculous trash

^^same

yeah I thought only one or two people ditched it? I watched the whole thing

ok ok I didn't ctrl+f 'you', just found a few ppl saying they stopped watching it!

i ditched it

ditched

i couldnt

i usually see shows thru to the bitter end unless it's Sons of Anarchy or Peaky Blinders

two episodes of 'you' and left. it's probably okay?

“It’s probably OK” could be the tag line for every Netflix original movie or TV show I’ve seen.

I just finished that Rebel Wilson new rom-com. It's ok.

this is coming soon. at one point it was supposed to be directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

discovered the documentary "Peter and the Farm" is streaming there. it's a fairly grim picture about a farmer in Vermont juggling with keeping himself and his farm together. dug it.

Haha, I had to bail on these too

you guys are very smart for not finishing sons of anarchy. my life is considerably worse having completed it

I watched all of Peaky Blinders, and it was so dumb.

lol just thinking about the ending of sons of anarchy has me getting angry.

Think I lasted four or five episodes of SoA.

Kind of sad I never got to see the much maligned third season

I am removing Peaky Blinders from my queue right now.

I really loved the (new) Sean Brock episode of Chef's Table. I loved the guy, I loved his story. It was extremely good in every way.

Starting The Order

you guys so many dumb shows

can't believe none of you punks are watching One Strange Rock yet

I am so late to this, but I am really enjoying Hannibal.

It is among the best shows on television ever imo, visually outrageous and sumptuous, acting that brilliantly teeters between pathos and camp, utterly transgressive and unforgiving storytelling throughout and no real slow moments

I am a little obsessed with how large Mads Mikkelsen's windsor knots are. We got through season 1 all this week.

Oh man, I'm so jealous that you're going to get to see season 2 of Hannibal for the first time. It gets... wild.

Ohhh, I just found the Hannibal thread but I might wait to read it until I am done with the entire series.

SOA is basically a basic cable series version of Boondock Saints in terms of its stupidity and viewpoint on masculine bullshit and its overall extreme pleasure with itself.

I mean so many cable series have a lot of those aspects, but it was wallowing in that shit.

Apparently there might be a second season of Abducted In Plain Sight???

Starting The Order

Me too, I'm hoping this is finally the show for those of us still missing Hemlock Grove

xp to yerac: yeah, don't spoil anything. i guarantee the show goes in directions you can't dream of.

Only one character has any kind of charisma through two episodes of The Order.

omg yerac you're gonna have the best time

i should rewatch it this year

I watched Mads Mikkelsen videos of him dancing (the can can!) yesterday because I was banned from starting season two until this weekend.

The knowledge that you're watching Hannibal for the first time is really cheering up my morning!

god i loved hannibal, even season 3, but yeah season 2 is really the sweet spot

maybe we should all watch season 2 this weekend.

don't guzzle that fine wine! savor it!
