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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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  :shaq

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.

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.

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 :uguu

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.

Well, that's sad:
Quote
While the studio started making overtures to Fillion for a new deal months ago and has been in on- and off- talks with him since the beginning of the year, I hear Katic was never approached to re-up her contract and was not offered an opportunity to continue on the show. Instead, I hear she, as well as Jones, were informed late last week that for budgetary reasons, they won’t be asked to come back for Season 9.

Well you know I gotta support wifey  :doge

I love the atmosphere of Twin Peaks. It reminds me so much of various points in my life. Conversations, laughs, arguments, etc held outside as the wind blew through the trees and the world just seemed alive. Especially when I'd travel to a small town or city.

But the cheese factor brehs. Like in S1 when the hot chick got beat by her bf with a piece of soap in a sock.  :lol

I'll try again...
