Which season of Arrow?

If season 1 then Arrow.

[Oblivion]

Season 2.

I loved the first season of Eastbound and Down, but is the whole second season in Mexico? Because if if S2 is anything like the initial episode, it blows.

[etiolate]

Just started watching Rectify and dayum Ted Jr is a top tier prick.

[Oblivion]

Welp, I didn't end up watching either Arrow or Sherlock. Instead I decided to re-watch Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

I didn't like the second or third season of Eastbound and Down, after being a big fan of the first.

The last season however, is fantastic.

yes he is. typical southern asshole.

I watched the first season of Sherlock and loved it. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are amazing.

Was it here that I heard only white people like the second season of the Wire or did I hear that from one of my pathetically few offline friends?

of the few white people i know -- mostly fellow students from the econ department so think hardcore ayn rand libertarians -- they all enjoyed season 2 the best 

I'm pretty left-leaning, and I loved Season 2. But Seasons 3 and 4 are the best. 4>3>2>1>>>>>>5

Season 2 gets a lot better after the first few episodes. It starts out pretty rough, but IMO, it gets amazing by the end.

I've been rewatching The Wire and just got to season 2. It's really elegant at setting up the bigger picture and that's probably why it's usually people's favorite season. It does start off a bit boring though.

haha yes he did. also his wife is probably one of the most complex characters on the show. im really curious to see where they take her in S2.

Is she really complex? She seems pretty typical for a church darling. Though I get the feeling there is some history with her going gaga over lost causes in the past.

[ZephyrFate]

It's more an inkling of where they'll take her after a certain scene in the first episode of season 2. Daniel is still very much the heart of the show and Aden Young was absolutely robbed of award nominations last year. He's giving a Cranston-level performance.

[toku]

Legit teared up during that ending scene in the Rectify season opener. They keep nailing all these scenes you expect to be really sappy cheese. The only other show that comes to mind, where it's just all Heart are the really great eps of Friday Night Lights.

Holy shit Penny Dreadful is awesome.

Except when it comes to Billy Piper, get rekt

Rectify and FNL share a lot of DNA despite being in somewhat different TV eras (with a little overlap, as FNL ended in 2011). While most shows are concerned with dark anti-hero drama (BB, GoT, Walking Dead, Mad Men, et. al.), Rectify is a wholly optimistic and positive show about a man coming to life again after being imprisoned for so long. It's like a darker Enlightened.

And you're right, that final scene was magical. One of the few times a dream sequence has been elegant.

[Kara]

Season opener of Defiance.

A BIOMAN IN A BUTTON DOWN NAMED CHURCHILL 

[ZephyrFate]

teen wolf is back yay!

[chronovore]

Wrapped up S1 of The IT Crowd. I giggled a bit, but am not sure whether or not to buy S2 or just continue YouTubing QI and NMTB instead.

Caught up on Penny Dreadful, and it's like they gave the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen the GoT-treatment - I like!
Haven't seen the season 2 starter of Defiance, but will because it's a shit show that I bought a game for.

I am not sure if I even bothred watching the end of season 1 of Defiance. I'll check out the s2 I suppose.

I never finished it. I like the two main characters, don't like the mayor or her sister, and the wraith/ghost family is universally annoying rather than "ooh, they're evil, I hate them."

[TVC15]

Last night I watched the first few episodes of VEEP S2 to make sure it is indeed better than S3, and yes, it is.

S2 and S3 aren't as nearly as good, but S4 is amazing and maybe equal to S1

[ZephyrFate]

apparently the boondocks finale is super homophobic, like not even in a "let's confront Riley on his homophobia" which earlier seasons did, but just out and out painting pro-LGBT people as fucking assholes.

[Yeti]

Season two of Danger 5 is in post production, I didn't even know there was going to be a season two. So hyped. Takes place in the fake 80s now instead of the fake 60s.

She has such a hot face, looks like Kate Upton...but her body is literally as flat as Kate's.

Danger 5 is secretly one of the funniest shows of all time. I am so glad it's back.

Flash pilot was very good.  Much better than arrow's

I feel like they gave away the entire pilot anyways in that 5 minute trailer they released.

Ilsa is clearly the hot one

I thought someone had brought up Rick and Morty here, but I'm not seeing it in the past few pages.
http://video.adultswim.com/rick-and-morty/
Essentially it is Dan Harmon retelling the Back to the Future relationship between Marty and Doc, but with added bloodshed, alcoholism, and Cthulhu mythos thrown in for good measure. It could end up being my new favorite thing.

Episodes are viewable online with ads, which has somehow MAGICALLY reneged on Adult Swim's "no soup for you" policy regarding Japan. I've just seen the first episode, and am assuming the rest will be as trouble free.

[TVC15]

It gets better as it goes. The pilot is seriously the weakest episode. I doubt anyone will debate that.

[ZephyrFate]

"Rixty Minutes" is some of the finest Adult Swim humor there is.

I still haven't finished Fargo and it's killing me inside :'(

Do itttttt

[Madrun Badrun]

Rick and Morty: watched the piolet when it came out out and didn't like it.  Gave it another shot and it is awesome.  I think I like the weird scifi stuff better than the jokes though.  Still hate the burping/stutter talk.

[Steve Contra]

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Full frontal action

[Steve Contra]

Apparently that's McConaughey's head photoshopped onto Brad Pitt's body.  I need to find that bootleg.

[TVC15]

Yeah, if you find that, buy me a copy!

[ZephyrFate]

Rectify: so many feels tonight. Ugh Ted Jr. ugh you just keep getting worse.

[Stoney Mason]

Watched the first episode of Bates motel.

I liked the odd/creepy mother son/relationship. But the high school drama stuff seemed very meh.


Also watched the pilot episode of The Last Ship. Yep. That's a michael bay produced tv show. Very mediocre. But its something I could imagine watching on a lazy sunday if they were running a marathon and my brain was numb.

[toku]

Rectify: so many feels tonight. Ugh Ted Jr. ugh you just keep getting worse.

Yeah, I keep waiting on them trying to redeem him a little bit but nope. He continues to double down on being an asshole. Someone needs to hit him with that Justified/Raylan quote:

[etiolate]

the new korra season has so far been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the first two korra seasons

it feels like TLA

world travel, badass villians, all studio mir

[Raban]

I still haven't finished Fargo and it's killing me inside :'(

Do itttttt

I can't I don't have access to a PC I can torrent on anymore probably won't get to finish it for a while
nvm I finished the series on a TV streaming website. I can safely say that this is the best TV miniseries I've ever seen. the ending was perfect, the acting was succulent, and I desperately hope they bring it back for another series with a new cast. can't wait to see this show bowl over the Emmys, or for the inevitable physical media release which I will buy and repeatedly make love to.

I kinda felt a little bad for him during the Tawney scene, and wondering if they might be going for a conflicted sexuality angle with Ted Jr. Would be an interesting character arc given they're in Georgia and all, and the lack of ANY intimacy between him and his wife only enforces that angle.

But his ranting about Daniel possibly being a vegetable, and thus still existing and being such a burden as he'd gotten so used to being the prodigal son was pitiful & grating.

[TVC15]

I've run out of things to watch. I'm going to try one last time to watch Game of Shit after I finish Fargo. Any further recommendations are welcome.

[etiolate]

Ted Jr worrying that he is less desirable than a deathrow inmate in a coma tells you all you need to know about his confidence.

Though I find Tawny pretty lame as well. Stuck in the female fantasy of saving the brutal male. Explains how she hooked up with Assgrounds in the first place.

[TVC15]

Not really. Very slight bias toward half hour things but it's not important at all.

[CatsCatsCats]

The web series Zephyr recommended (High Maintenance) is really good y'all

[ZephyrFate]

Seriously though. It's not your typical stoner comedy. And often times is more of a well-produced drama on a shoestring budget.

anyone catch The Leftovers last night on HBO? Heard the pilot was good but the premise could go wildly off the rails.

[Madrun Badrun]

Rewatch 90's outer limits like I'm doing right now.

There's a "typical" stoner comedy?

[ZephyrFate]

Yes? The Big Lebowski, Dazed and Confused, Pineapple Express, Harold & Kumar, etc..
