mike and ike, we'll never forget

I fucks with Lucifer. Lethal Weapon show was solid but I like the cast and I'm not attached to the movies as a lot of ppl are. RIP Limitless though that was great and too good for this world.

[Reb]

I watched all of Gillmore Girls, so I think I might be depressed.

[Mupepe]

Tata is fucking sexy though.

More a Maritza guy myself

ay, mijo.

[Madrun Badrun]

OMG there is a Lethal Weapon TV show?

ya watched the first half it at lunch.  Kinda disappointing. 

It's got the hot chick from F&F in it though.

I enjoyed this first half of Suits season 6 and was actually kind of disappointed that the whole prison storyline wrapped up at the end and would have liked to have seen it last the entire season.  Was wondering why that story got resolved in the second to last episode, but then got why at the end of the summer finale.

Jessica really is leaving the firm...because the actress who plays her is tired of flying to Canada to film the show.

  One thing (so far) about what happened with Mike is that it kind of makes everything about his previous secret pointless-

he hasn't said yes to Harvey's offer yet, but basically he can come right back and do what he's doing as a consultant, all for the same pay.  So...why the hell didn't they do this before?

Agents Of SHIELD S3 had a pretty good first episode.  I liked the pacing more than before and Ghost Rider was portrayed pretty well.  Also nice to see them fucking finally shift the focus away from all that Inhumans shit.  This season is probably gonna end up being all about life model decoys.  They can totally use LMDs to bring back dead characters, too.  I wonder if we'll see a Ward LMD? 

Gotham S3 was pretty much the same old.  I see that they are going to ditch the young actress playing Ivy and replace with an older and hotter teenager (twenty something?) actress for what is apparently being done to literally "sex up" the character.  The Court Of Owls being the new big bad is intriguing but if there's no Talons...meh.

Didn't watch Lucifer S2 yet.  S1 was fun and was like a weird Suits spin-off since a few people from that show are on there.    Will probably check out Lethal Weapon too.

[Tasty]

AoS is on its fourth season breh.

I know cause I skipped s3 and have been meaning to marathon it.

[Bebpo]

I was super pissed at the ending cliffhanger for 12 monkeys S2, then I went to look at how other people reacted and people were like "man, I'm glad this isn't the finale and there's still one more episode left" and I google it and there's one more episode 

[Madrun Badrun]

Congrats on your mistake. 

[Bebpo]

Final ep wasn't as cliffhangery.  So that's good.  Was actually kind of a decent final episode for the season, but the last 5 minutes teaser for S3 makes S3 look pretty dumb.  Probably not gonna watch S3, will read the episode summaries and hope it's the final season.

[Tasty]

Who’s excited for Luke Cage in four days?!

Thinking of rewatching JJ soon too.

It was the perfect November show, I absolutely loved how they made the city/urban stuff feel in Winter on-screen. Living in Boston, it was perfect.

I was pleasantly surprised with JJ, so while I’m not super excited for Luke Cage I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt. DD s1, s2, and JJ have all been excellent so far.

[Bebpo]

It'll be the next american TV season I watch for sure.  Luke Cage is a great character so the show has a bunch of potential.  Hope it's not a single arc dragged out way too long like the other Marvel TV shows though.

Yeah. I dunno if that's a Netflix requirement or what but Marvel's 13-ep seasons should really be 10 eps, I feel. Game of Thrones that bitch.

That said I feel DD s2 was the best at not falling prey to that (packing it with both Punisher and Elektra probably helped.) Don't know if LC will have enough content but the trend seems to be that they're getting better at filling that episode count.

Iron Fist in the first half of 2017 and then The Defenders team-up in the second half. Can't fucking wait.

Though, personally, I'm a little annoyed that DD s3 and JJ s2 have to wait until 2018. But whatevs. The Defenders is only 8 episodes so it should be pretty fucking awesome.

*crickets chirping*

Anyway, we finished the first season of Orange is the new black. We like it a lot. Refreshing to have a rather serious prison depiction who isn't just "8am getting shanked, 12am riot, 2pm getting raped". I can see how the show will weaken though, because it's already playing a tad loose with the chronology of events and milking character interactions through a series of twists to keep the story fresh.

Awesome cast and good writing though. N.Lyonne

Nah man, I dunno about the others. I'm just fairly uninterested in superhero stuff in general and TV shows in particular.

I'm hyped for LC.  Was planning on taking the day off but now I got class/meetings

[toku]

Fairly certain is. It was renewed but for a shorter season. IIRC it's gonna be 8 or 10 eps instead of 13.

Me too. But Luke Cage has the blaxploitation thing going for it and Ali Shaheed Mohammed is scoring it so I'll be checking it out.

Yup. It's very high on my "shows I say I'm interested in but won't watch for 3-10 years" list.

[Beezy]

Gonna finish up DD s2 before Luke Cage drops Friday. I got bored about 5-6 episodes in and haven't gone back to it since. Thought it was just me, but 2 of my friends dropped it around the same time too. I agree that Marvel should shorten their seasons to 10 episodes.

Been watching Atlanta and Queen Sugar. Hooray for decent/good black shows!

Finished Ballers s2 last night, but that show is so uneventful and boring. Just like Entourage and even worse, How to Make it in America. Best thing about it is the soundtrack. They're lucky enough to have The Rock as their star, so the ratings will never drop.

[Madrun Badrun]

You can watch Ballers but not DD?  shame.

In fact I'm disgusted with the lot of you. 

[Tasty]

If Ballers episodes were an hour long, I would've dropped it during the first season.

[seagrams hotsauce]

entourage was awesome and ballers is also awesome, fuck the haterss

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I liked the first episode of Designated Survivor, I hope it lasts a while so Kiefer Sutherland can have a break playing Jack Bauer for a few years.

[chronovore]

Watched Jean Claude Van Johnson. It's the Amazon Studios pilot season episode. (also there's a new version of The Tick)

I would happily watch a whole season of this. It's so painfully self-aware, it's difficult not to laugh, even though you're supposed to laugh. The featured songs are great. It's cheesy and fun and JCVD's relationship with his agent (Phylicia Rashad) is pure gold.

[fistfulofmetal]

Saw the first two episodes of Luke Cage last night.

I kind of loved what I saw. The actor playing Cage seemed much more comfortable in the role and was actually charming. The villain is legit great. I love the tone they're going for, feels much different than the previous two shows.

And it's clear to me the creators are trying to resemble The Wire. It's very much chasing that mold. It's definitely not hitting that but it's evoking a lot of what I like about The Wire

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm liking it as well.  The blaxploitation stuff is pretty jarring at times with lines that feel like they belong in the 70's.  I enjoy it though. 

[Madrun Badrun]

The music is really wonderful. 

[Madrun Badrun]

2.5 episodes in, bring da motherfucking ruckus

[toku]

[Beezy]

Finished s2 of Daredevil. The first 5 episodes really fucking drag, but the rest more than made up for it. Really looking forward to the next season.

Now I can comfortably start Luke Cage tonight.

[fistfulofmetal]

The end of the second episode of Luke Cage is really fucking good.

[Yeti]

Won't be able to watch Luke Cage until Wednesday   

[Dennis]

I have still to finish Daredevil Season 2 and I haven't seen a single episode of Jessica Jones yet.

So behind.

[Phoenix Dark]

Dude is pretty damn interesting.

[Dennis]

New man-crush, PD?

[Phoenix Dark]

His wife is white? I'm definitely watching now.

[Madrun Badrun]

He is damn fine. 

[Tasty]

New man-crush, PD?

It's just called a "crush" when you're gay.

[Madrun Badrun]

I really like how well the blaxplotation cheesy blends with comic book cheesy.

[Bebpo]

After 2 eps of Luke Cage, it definitely seems like the best of the Netflix Marvel shows.  Story is pretty standard marvel tv mob stuff, but it's got great music and way more directing style than DD or JJ had.  Feeling good about this one. 

[Madrun Badrun]

episode 7:  getting real interesting.  The netflix shows really have the best villains. 

[Tasty]

After 2 eps of Luke Cage, it definitely seems like the best of the Netflix Marvel shows.

I feel like this is said about every Marvel Netflix show but then it falls off by the end.

Haven't started LC yet but I hope that's not the case.

[eleuin]

Southland is amazing   

[Dennis]

Southland is amazing   

Yup, an underrated gem.

If you like Southland you might like End of Watch. Love that movie.

[Madrun Badrun]

On episode 11 and netflix went out

[Momo]

Luke Cage - On episode 9 and i'm not digging the villains at all, but I feel it doesn't matter as it's not really so much about them but Luke.

[Madrun Badrun]

really like that they embraced the corny comic book stuff.

[toku]

brehs why are y'all blowing through these shows

[Madrun Badrun]

Last two episodes were really fun and I loved the way it ended. 

[Momo]

brehs why are y'all blowing through these shows

It's a netflix show, you're supposed to blast through it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finished the show, I feel ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ about it.

[Bebpo]

Westworld ep1 was great.  Didn't know anything about the show other than it was based on a Crichton novel and didn't really know why everyone was so hyped about it, but yeah that was a pretty good start.  I especially enjoyed the old-timey musical versions of modern music like Black Hole Sun lol.

Ash v Evil Dead S2 ep1 was fun.  More of the same and the show's never been particularly great, but it's fun and there's some good Ash lines in there. 

[Momo]

Westworld Ep 1 was some soul cleansingly good shit. Piano black hole sun, instrumental paint it black

[Dennis]

Good to hear the positives on Westworld here. Some of the buzz was pretty negative.

Can't wait to watch this when I get off work.

[chronovore]

Started watching the original X-Files from s1e1. It's a fantastic first episode. Duchovny and Anderson are SO AMAZINGLY YOUNG. Young Gillian is achingly pretty. I missed the initial run of the series, joining in around s3 or so; I didn't realize that Cigarette Smoking Man is in from the first episode.
