Season 3 of BSG was when it started going downhill for me. Now here I am at episode 1 of season 3 again and it still seems dumb.

Fat Adama symbolizes the worst stretch of BattleStar for me, that and the final 5 fuckery and dumb music shit.

Watched the first episode of Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.
I would recommend at least watching the first episode.

I've got no clue what the hell is going on anymore but somehow it's still enjoyable to watch.

you guys seen best comedy ever Corporate yet?

I randomly threw on the preview eps before it aired and was pleasantly surprised. It's pretty solid, though it needs more Lance Reddick. I think I find the show more amusing than laugh-out-loud funny, but I really enjoy the surreal, hypercynical atmosphere/world the show inhabits.

Jesica Jones season 2 is good. Up to episode 11.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #14834 on:** March 09, 2018, 12:07:10 AM »

Enjoyed it. One of the most even marvel netflix shows. Not as good as the first one but hard to beat that without killgrave.
I liked that everyone had conflicting motives which all felt true to their characters.

I think so. Its a Victorian crime drama first with the supernatural stuff at the fringe. It feels very planted in reality due to this.

I think the casting is perfect, including Lance's deadpan tyranny, and they've got the respective screentimes right. I also think the two main characters are excellent foils. Really solid writing.

Agreed about the two leads, they compliment each other really well, as do the pair of bosses, who are just perfectly nauseating. Speaking of the writing, after watching the preview eps I found out it was written partly by Jake Fogelnest, who also worked on the similarly dark and also excellent Difficult People, which I never miss a chance to shill

I finished s2 on the flight back to Japan. I still like the books better, but this is seriously some of the best SF on TV ever.

Mupepe · « **Reply #14844 on:** March 10, 2018, 10:17:13 AM »

I’ve just finished book 3 of Game of Thrones and so decided to rewatch the series. There is such a huge drop in quality from season 3 to 4. They also really start to butcher the characters for unnecessary reasons and change the strangest things. It was fine before I got into the books, but they really do a terrible job of adapting. I assume many of the changes were done when they realized GRRM was taking his sweet fucking time and they needed to stall.

Here in Germany, a pay TV network has retained the rights for the show for a year. So unless I cough up the money for a subscription (which I won't) I got to wait until fall at least until I'm gonna see it anywhere else

S3 of Love is actually good. Its a better show when only one ofnthe main characters is insufferable. And the writing is noticeably better.

Who's the insufferable now, the blonde chick or the guy with the nose? I watched parts of season 1 and they were both obnoxious losers. Which was the point of the show I guess and I can appreciate that. I give them props for painting the attractive female lead in such an unflattering light. But it was just too much cringe for me to really enjoy the show.

Its still the dude now but they've toned down the selfish antics considerably. Hes actually a bit more relatable now instead of full on narcissist.

Can't bring myself to watch a new Marvel Netflix show or season. I don't know why since I actually liked The Defenders, and even got some enjoyment out of fucking Iron Fisting.

OMG, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is super great. It has a similar vibe to 30 Rock's this-is-close-to-reality, and maybe one step further removed. It's sharp, funny, and detailed. I can't watch it while doing something else, as there are too many clever details.

That is all.

I dont want to spoil, but yeah there's teenage drama, however the show reinvents itself every two seasons so don't get used to a consistent theme. There's some genre swapping going on, it's very dark for a CW show and completely worth watching.

There's exactly ONE annoying char I wish I could project into the sun, but otherwise most chars feel about right.

Continued with Homeland

This is getting more bizarre by the minute. They've just introduced the 'real life 4th wall' plot that they have every season.
In this case the Russians meddled with the election but the 'good guys' won. But the 'good guys' might actually not be so good and now the Russians are getting Fox News watchers to shoot the FBI after the FBI shot a kid in a stand-off with jeeps and machine gun people who are hiding a poor imitation of Alex Jones.

I half expect this season to end with Carrie waking up all sweaty figuring out it was all a dream.

I'm doing a rewatch too since I got the Bluray series box for cheap last year. I finished season 2 recently but decided to wait a while before starting with season 3.

That show is even better on a rewatch

I was drawn in and enjoyed the start, but I liked seeing what the characters were doing and where they ended up

Plus it sows the seeds very well for the rest of the season.

Seems strange that the first post-Defenders show makes no mention of it though, aside from a vague "team up" line. Half the plot of Iron Man 3 (first Phase 2 movie) was Tony dealing with the fallout from The Avengers.

Well yes but it still seems strange. Phase 2 of the MCU felt much more connected than Phase 1.

Phase 2 of the Netflix MCU seems exactly like the first, going by JJ.

Though Daredevil s3 and Iron Fist s2 will probably lean more heavily into the references.

Did you Peep Show fans check out Back? It's also great, a worthy successor imo

Corporate's season finale was really really good. Jake's rap rock lyrics were just incredible. I really like this show, I hope it comes back.
