I'm two episodes into Mr. Robot, really good so far. I really liked Rami Malek as SNAFU in the Pacific. Haven't seen him in anything since that series. He's great in this role.

malek is playing the role of Elliot perfectly. even down to the little facial expressions when his social misfit personality has to deal with even the simplest things in life that involve other people.

All caught up with Mr. Robot, good series so far. They need to move the plot along a little faster to keep interest but I like all the moving parts.

Anyone know where I can watch Fargo the series? Can't find it anywhere

Not criticizing here but I can't see how moving the plot along faster would make the series any more enjoyable.  It's a huge ensemble cast with several different story lines intersecting from all points with Elliott.  I'm not going to say any more because I have my own idea about what the series actually is, but I think it's been pretty much perfect from the start.  Acting, writing, you name it...

when rome grabs hold of a nerd show he loves....there aint no hype big enough in the world

preach my brother

[Rome]

Have you seen it? 

[MDS]

most of the first episode...i fell asleep

its def. not a bad show and many critics are raving about it, its just not my cup of tea. but unfortunately ive "known" you for like 10 farging years and you love nerd stuff. so i can see why youd be hyperbolically all over it.

I wasn't asking for a psychological breakdown of my character, dude.  I was just wondering if you had seen the show.

It takes a while to understand what's going on because there's a lot of shtein inside the protagonist's head that may or may not actually be happening.

It's not for everyone, I'll grant you that.

[hbionic]

probably

hopefully pizzo learns from his mistakes....or watches fargo and just copies that

You dicks convinced me to watch Mr. Robot. It hits every single one of my criteria. Nerd shtein. Weird surreal stories that blur the line between reality and hallucination. Drugs. Anti-establishment protagonists. Sex.

Yep. Dicks.

Just watched the latest Mr Robot episode. I have some theories but mostly confused in a good way.

[smeags]

that pretty much where i'm at on the show. part of what makes it so good.

Show Me A Hero thoughts?

very solid 1st episode....amazing amount of former wire cast members. pretty sure orlando was the naacp dude.

also really enjoying the brink. it started clunky but its really turned into a solid, fun watch.

ballers flat out sucks. i have no earthly idea im still watching it.

the john oliver bit on televangelists was sensational. i think 95% of the people here are godless heathens but seriously how dumb are people to believe that crap?

[smeags]

well mr robot just went off the hook in that last episode.

also - ive been in on the brink all season. def getting better as it goes along.
