The first 3 seasons of archer are just killer. 

[CajoleJuice]

Latest episode of Vinyl had full frontal Olivia Wilde. Best episode yet, obviously.

[toku]

Venture Bros episode was really funny.

Yeah, in fact everything up until Vice is straight dope.

Vice is fantastic too, but a little weaker than the previous seasons.

Fargo Season 2. 

I can't believe I've slept on this series until now. S1 was really good, but S2 was on an entirely new level, up there with the best single seasons of any drama TV I've seen. The only thing I didn't like was the

UFO stuff. Was a bit shark jump-y and didn't have any purpose.

[VomKriege]

Man, I like Better Call Saul but I'm wondering when those different plots will start converging if at all. S1 was the same but all the small talk interaction at the parking booth was actually a great way to link them. Hope the payoff will be good, because so far it's Better Call Kim (which is not a major issue but heh...).

Also god damn, he looked familiar but I never fully realized that the actor playing Mike was this regular from the eighties action movies (he looks kinda like the son of Miguel Ferrer and Michael Ironside) :



Mike is a genuine hard as nails dude in a time where every show or movie is trying so desperately to sell you edgelords as badasses.

Fuller House is so awful. Except Jodie Sweetin's huge fucking titties.

[ToxicAdam]

::google image searches:: woah..

The first episode has her in an awesome low cut dress and a few milk and titty jokes.  The only good thing about that show.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Fuller House dropped down to just one and a half stars after a couple days.  Usually shitty Netflix original content has a slow descent into the one star area but not this one.

Told me all I needed to know about that show.

NBC challenges CBS to a spin-off war:

NBC is considering a fourth installment of its increasingly successful franchise of Chicago-set procedural dramas.

Network execs have had early conversations with exec producer Dick Wolf about the possibility of launching “Chicago Law” set in the legal realm. A show focused on courts and lawyers would complement the existing series: “Chicago Fire,” which bowed in 2012, “Chicago P.D.,” now in its third season, and “Chicago Med,” which bowed in the fall.

NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke emphasized that the discussions are still in the conceptual stage and there is no script or writer attached for the spinoff. But the idea is that key characters for “Chicago Law” could be introduced in “Chicago P.D.,” much as the other spinoffs came from planted episodes of mothership “Chicago Fire.”

NBC and Sony Pictures Television are plotting a spin-off for “The Blacklist” and will air a backdoor pilot this spring, Variety has learned. Famke Janssen has been tapped to star in the possible, female-led series.

Finished the first season of Star Wars: Rebels, immediately started the second season. This series is occasionally silly, but mostly really great. Everything feels like Star Wars, the stories hi jinx are solid, and the characters are a good mix of personalities. Most impressively, just about every shot looks like it could have come from Ralph McQuarrie's concept paintings for the original trilogy. Just magical mimicry.

I'm not a fan of their pricing model on iTunes though:
Season 1: $19.99 for 13 22-minute episodes. PRETTY GOOD.
Season 2, Part 1: $19.99 for 10 22-minute episodes. 
-- purchased, start series. WAIT, something is amiss. Stuff happened between s1 and s2? -- check episode wiki and find:
Star Wars: REBELS - Siege at Lothal - $7.99 (now $4.99) 1 44-minute episode

Wait, what? I bought the first "movie" for REBELS, it turned out to be the first two Season 1 episodes sold as a single thing. This is the first two episodes of Season 2, but sold separately?

What's more, what iTunes Store shows as "Season 3" is listed in title as "Season 2: Part 2," furthering the confusion.

Netflix should cut down their original content to 10 episodes per season at a maximum.

[chronovore]

Just started watching MTV's Death Valley on Amazon streaming. It's Reno 911 meets The Walking Dead. I am digging it.

Netflix should cut down their original content to 10 episodes per season at a maximum.

Why?

[chronovore]

I'm guessing the syndication model has changed with streaming, and the cost/return analysis says "strangle it in its infancy!"

[brawndolicious]

Been watching a bit of Highway Through Hell on Netflix. Good ice road truckers level trash but only Canadian levels of edginess so it doesn't feel overdone. I recommend it if you know what to expect, fer sure.

The streaming model has definitely made me more likely to just try any show once.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Banshee's back. Slow start to the season, but this episode seems more concerned with quickly tossing aside everything that happened in previous seasons for a fresh angle. Hopefully now that they're done that it'll pick up.

Hood's hysterically bad hobo beard

[Beezy]

Underground has been entertaining so far.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Latest season of Trailer Park Boys was pretty weak.  Still better than trash like Love or Master of None

[Dennis]

Daredevil Season 2 Episodes 3 and 4 are off the hook, brehs.

Liking the second season a lot more than the first, four episodes in.

[Yeti]

Latest episode of Agents of Shield was really good too.

Young Justice season 2 is so damn good.  Like it might be the best season of super hero TV.

[Tasty]

Young Justice season 2 is so damn good.  Like it might be the best season of super hero TV.

It certainly is for me, probably tied with the best of BTAS.

They did Tim Drake and Nightwing sooooo well.







The show was so unrepentantly DC Comics. BTAS/JLU feel a little watered-down in comparison.

[Yeti]

[toku]

Very ready. With Hannibal gone this is probably my favorite currently airing show.

[D3RANG3D]

I like Young Justice and all but lets not get carried away, its not that good.

[Tasty]

I like Young Justice and all but lets not get carried away, its not that good.

Season 2 definitely is.

You got the entire Bat-family: Nightwing, Tim-Robin, Jason-Robin (as a dead hologram lolol), and Batgirl. You got the entire Flash family: Barry Allen, Jay Garrick, Wally West, and even Bart Allen/Impulse. You got the Reach apocalypse. You got clone-Red Arrow/Arsenal with a kid with Cheshire.

And you have fucking Tim Curry as G. Gordon Godfrey.



So yes. It really is that good.

[Madrun Badrun]

Really season 1 of Batman TAS is the only thing that could be said to be better.  They are both way a head of the pack.   

[D3RANG3D]

It's really not that good but I guess opinions and all that.

It's all wah we can't do anything because our mommies and daddies at the Justice League won't let us, oh I know lets invent a contrivance to make them fuck off.

Just started House of Cards, that ps vita shoutout in episode 4 

Really curious as to how they screw this up in season 2 or 3

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm on the last 2 episodes of HoC season 2 and its kinda silly - which I'm fine with but people act like its hot shit.  For example, Frank had a personal problem and the solution to this was to simply pass major social security reform. 

Haven't watched it in like 3 weeks.  Young Justice was 10 times better. 

[Tasty]

I don't like YJ at all. TAS is still GOAT, Brave and the Bold is awesome. The Batman was ok.

That's all I really got to say.

No wonder you thought BvS could be good.

[I'm a Puppy!]

So I'm on like episode 4 of Season 1 daredevil. Enjoying it so far. But not really a fan of gore/violence. Like at the end of episode 3 the guy has all this broken glass around him and instead he decides to commit suicide by intentionally slamming his head into a rusty iron thing that's sticking out at exactly eye level? Really?

Not really Fargo S2 spoiler, just general nitpicking but might as well hide it behind here I guess

Only thing I didn't like was the death count. It's really my major pet peeve with shows/movies - if you're going for some sort of realism then you gotta scale it back and make every one matter.

[close]

Also Mupepe, Fargo S2 is probably gonna Rock your Cock.

[VomKriege]

Yeah that's a real issue in all forms of fictions really, the old "Far West wasn't that violent". Without going all moral guardian and stuff, we have been pretty desensitized in the last century or so. More than 10 people being killed over a year for a single criminal individual or enterprise is already pretty big news. Games are especially bad for this, because you need that stimuli every other second... That's not Fargo biggest issue though (The writing has something to say about violence, at least).

I didn't like Fargo S2 as much as S1, writing was not as tight or conclusive, but it's still high quality TV, go for it.

Better Call Saul S2 : Wow almost already at the very end of S2. Pretty amazing how time flies despite not that much apparently happening on screen. The only thing I am dubious about is the lack of interaction between Saul and Mike and I feel this season was very much wrote with the next one in mind at the expense of a satisfying end.

Kimmy Schmidt S2 : First episode was a little bit rough, but the second one was a romp ("Is that Splinter ? There's hundreds of him !"). Also damn dog Jane Krakowski is ripped. Don't mind it tho 

We also started watching Boss. Production value is really good and all but I'm somewhat burnt on the super bitter and cynical take on politics even though I'm pretty certain a lot of the inspiration comes from real life (The mayor taking a crap with the door open while on a meeting is a LBJ anecdote). As with violence, fiction tends to pack up things in denser ways than reality so it feels a bit much to me.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Boss was based off of this book:



I recommend reading that as well.  Things in Chicago haven't really changed since the first Richard Daley: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/cook-county-corruption/

Probably one of my stupidest purchases in a while since it'll be on Netflix soon probably, but I bought The Flash season 2 on Google Play.

I was following along as it was airing until the Christmas episode, which is when I cut the TV cord. Excited to go through the rest of it.

[Madrun Badrun]

Never finshed Arrow s3 and I haven't watched any of the universe since then.  They really fucked up by messing up the flagship

[Tasty]

Haven't seen Arrow yet, kinda scared to. Flash s1 and s2 so far have been excellent though, possibly the best of the DC universe in live action.

Grant Gustin is so pretty too

[toku]

Never finshed Arrow s3 and I haven't watched any of the universe since then.  They really fucked up by messing up the flagship

Flash is like 3x better than Arrow ever was and I was a big fan of s1 and 2 Arrow.

Flash is so good I refuse to support the upcoming Flash movie just because whoever is playing flash just cannot in any way come close to the work Grant Gustin is doing.

[Tasty]

Yeah. Nothing against Ezra Miller but he's #NotMyFlash.

I love all the Silver Age trappings of The Flash. It's not for everyone but it's nice to have a series that has a positive outlook and some hope for once.

Side Note: Joe is the best tv dad since the 90s.

It's not really in Flash continuity so you can watch it pretty much whenever

Kimmy Schmidt season 2 was this last weekend. Super good and funny and all that. Pretty much on-par with last season so if you liked that you'll like this.
